IMUS sucks up at 1pm

Once again the great Hypocrite who stands in judgement of others will not give the answer.....You say false, but then preface by " happy where i live"...Uhhh Hmm....Your a trader...you look to get value for cheap...you mean to tell me its not cheaper and a better value to live in a minority neighborhood? Of course it is but you do not want to take a chance with YOUR lillywhite ass in those neighborhoods....Your like all these libs who say rah rah to the black cause then head back up to their Beverly hills home in a gated community and would shriek if a black family or worse yet, LOW INCOME housing was proposed for your neighborhood.

And as i said before, there's plenty of bargains all around the country for you if you don't think there's a difference.

 

Hillary arrives to save the day and heal a devasted nation! Oh god, oh god, OK at great personal risk, I'll add ... IN CORNROLLS!


I've come to conclude all this flap makes race-baiters, race-merchants, race-card, affrimative action, etc, etc ... look all the more stupid. They look flat-out stupid.

I half-expect that advertisements in the next round of elections to include: "And He Even Appeared on Don Imus.....", flash a photo of Dom picking his teeth and then fade to black.

 

If there is something "cheap" by the Pacific Ocean in So Cal, by all means I would look at it....but I am happy where I am. Location is important when it comes to many different aspects of life.

I am more interested in quality of life, as a trader, than the size of a house in life...

Thanks anyway, but I am quite content here.

Just please, don't allow imbicilic klowns like you decide to move here, okay?

 

I hope these people who get paid to repair people image soon realize that kissing al sharptons butt is a big mistake. You have already alienated all the idiots who might care about his opinion and then you alienate everyone who was hoping you had some backbone or discernment.

One good sincere well covered apology is enough.

Kissing ass for a week makes you look like a faggot and I told you earlier on this thread Imus was turning himself into a fag. Now he is a fag without a show.

 

Here's one:

Thank you, Don Imus. You’ve given us (black people) an excuse to avoid our real problem.

You’ve given Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson another opportunity to pretend that the old fight, which is now the safe and lucrative fight, is still the most important fight in our push for true economic and social equality.

You’ve given Vivian Stringer and Rutgers the chance to hold a nationally televised recruiting celebration expertly disguised as a news conference to respond to your poor attempt at humor.

Thank you, Don Imus. You extended Black History Month to April, and we can once again wallow in victimhood, protest like it’s 1965 and delude ourselves into believing that fixing your hatred is more necessary than eradicating our self-hatred.

The bigots win again.

While we’re fixated on a bad joke cracked by an irrelevant, bad shock jock, I’m sure at least one of the marvelous young women on the Rutgers basketball team is somewhere snapping her fingers to the beat of 50 Cent’s or Snoop Dogg’s or Young Jeezy’s latest ode glorifying nappy-headed pimps and hos.

I ain’t saying Jesse, Al and Vivian are gold-diggas, but they don’t have the heart to mount a legitimate campaign against the real black-folk killas.

It is us. At this time, we are our own worst enemies. We have allowed our youths to buy into a culture (hip hop) that has been perverted, corrupted and overtaken by prison culture. The music, attitude and behavior expressed in this culture is anti-black, anti-education, demeaning, self-destructive, pro-drug dealing and violent.

Rather than confront this heinous enemy from within, we sit back and wait for someone like Imus to have a slip of the tongue and make the mistake of repeating the things we say about ourselves.

It’s embarrassing. Dave Chappelle was offered $50 million to make racially insensitive jokes about black and white people on TV. He was hailed as a genius. Black comedians routinely crack jokes about white and black people, and we all laugh out loud.

I’m no Don Imus apologist. He and his tiny companion Mike Lupica blasted me after I fell out with ESPN. Imus is a hack.

But, in my view, he didn’t do anything outside the norm for shock jocks and comedians. He also offered an apology. That should’ve been the end of this whole affair. Instead, it’s only the beginning. It’s an opportunity for Stringer, Jackson and Sharpton to step on victim platforms and elevate themselves and their agenda$.

I watched the Rutgers news conference and was ashamed.

Martin Luther King Jr. spoke for eight minutes in 1963 at the March on Washington. At the time, black people could be lynched and denied fundamental rights with little thought. With the comments of a talk-show host most of her players had never heard of before last week serving as her excuse, Vivian Stringer rambled on for 30 minutes about the amazing season her team had.

Somehow, we’re supposed to believe that the comments of a man with virtually no connection to the sports world ruined Rutgers’ wonderful season. Had a broadcaster with credibility and a platform in the sports world uttered the words Imus did, I could understand a level of outrage.

But an hourlong press conference over a man who has already apologized, already been suspended and is already insignificant is just plain intellectually dishonest. This is opportunism. This is a distraction.

In the grand scheme, Don Imus is no threat to us in general and no threat to black women in particular. If his words are so powerful and so destructive and must be rebuked so forcefully, then what should we do about the idiot rappers on BET, MTV and every black-owned radio station in the country who use words much more powerful and much more destructive?

I don’t listen or watch Imus’ show regularly. Has he at any point glorified selling crack cocaine to black women? Has he celebrated black men shooting each other randomly? Has he suggested in any way that it’s cool to be a baby-daddy rather than a husband and a parent? Does he tell his listeners that they’re suckers for pursuing education and that they’re selling out their race if they do?

When Imus does any of that, call me and I’ll get upset. Until then, he is what he is — a washed-up shock jock who is very easy to ignore when you’re not looking to be made a victim.

No. We all know where the real battleground is. We know that the gangsta rappers and their followers in the athletic world have far bigger platforms to negatively define us than some old white man with a bad radio show. There’s no money and lots of danger in that battle, so Jesse and Al are going to sit it out.

Exactly right. CBS would have looked awful cancelling him in the middle of the charity week. By going around kissing butt, he made it look more reasonable. After all, sharrpton wasn't placated.

I'm curious about the legal ramifications. I wonder if they will try to get out of paying him whatever was left on his contract and what their rights are with respect to terminating him. It seems to me he could make a strong argument that his comments were not out of line with plenty of other things he has said over the years, which they accepted.

 

Jason Whitlock was on MSNBC for about 3 minutes this morning to give his point. Rev Al, Jesse and the like have had hours and will get more hours to argue their point. It's painfully obvious that the black community will not respond with anything meaningful to combat their own internal problems. Much easier to blame whitey for everything. Much more profitable too.
