Sexist? yes. Racist? no. I know people from every race with "nappy" hair.
It doesn't make what is said right though.

I don't think he should have been fired for what he said. I think he should have been fired for wearing that stupid ass hat.

I do agree with the question about rap and hip hop "music". Why has that never been as big of a deal. Certainly more people hear it.

Agreed nothing bad was even said. He could of said something 100 times worse then that. Just when a white person says something they always get called out on it.

look what happened to Tim Hardaway and Isiah Washington with their comments, hardaway got kicked out of the league and Washington had to go to treatment for it:ROFL:
 
Imus has been fired from his radio gig

but that wasnt racial.
they were making *** comments (couldnt agree more with em).


i know Hardaway personally. He went to college with my dad. He is a really nice conservative guy but like everyone, gets persecuted for personal beliefs.

IMUS: That's some rough girls from Rutgers. Man, they got tattoos and --

BERNARD McGUIRK: Some hard-core hos.

IMUS: That's some nappy-headed hos there. I'm gonna tell you that now, man, that's some -- woo. And the girls from Tennessee, they all look cute, you know, so, like -- kinda like -- I don't know.

McGUIRK: A Spike Lee thing.

IMUS: Yeah.

McGUIRK: The Jigaboos vs. the Wannabes -- that movie that he had.

really? you don;'t see it?
what if Imus had said something derogatory about Asians using specific Asian slang inappropriately that basicly referred to Asian female basketball players as (loose trans:) ugly ghetto whores ?
He was wayyy outside his culture but at the same time knew full well the implications of the words he was using which are crude and sexist and also racist imo.
Life is already tough enough without influential public figures adding to the problems. If you or I say something politically incorrect we speak to one or 2 people we don't influence the culture, Imus spoke to millions and sadly there are many many sheep out there who pay to much attention to that kind of garbage entertainment....
man...even arguing on MFK is better sport than shock jocks
:)

I still don't see it. My freinds call me a fatass stupid Irish mick. But thats not racism it is what it is. People are too damn sensitive today :irked:

So are you saying they were nappy headed hos and that's what they are and that's ok? :screwy:

I'm not agreeing with Imus, but damn, people get so bent out of shape over nothing. And if someone called me a nappy headed hos, I'd laugh. It came from a DJ, Why would You take them seriously.


Go laser cats :)

What about all the sheep out there that suddenly are offended when asked about it, but ordinarly wouldn't even think twice about it? I've only heard two politicians with enough balls to say they still support him. Everyone else is cowaring for fear of being the next "racist". You want to stop racism? Simply don't let it bother you. Eventually it will go away. Maybe what he said was wrong but there is absolutely no reason for him to lose his job over it. I'm going to start listening to radio shows hosted by "non-white" dj's and just wait for the second I hear a comment that I feel offened by. This is just so rediculous. Can you tell this is a sore subject for me?:irked:
