We all know that Don Imus is a fuckin' idiot. But calling the Rutgers women's basketball team, "nappy-head hos" is no worse than the gawd-awful rap music, with bitches and hos and n'a'ggers and whatnot. This is a double-standard.I don't see Al Sharpton rallying to have rap music pulled from all the shelves.
Don Imus apologised. Sure, maybe he didn't mean it. But he did issue a public apology. And what did God's servant Rev. Al Sharpton do? He rejected it! Now Sharpton and Jackson have rallied their troops against Imus to have his show unplugged from the MSNBC feed.
WE'RE SORRY REV. SHARPTON! Good to know you can't bury the hatchet. Free speech is free speech. Talk radio hosts like Imus, Rush Limbaugh, Howard Stern say stupid shit. They do it to get a rise out of people. If you don't like it... don't listen.
Simple lesson here. Let's all just stop being ignorant assholes and focus on ourselves. Try and be a better person. And when someone apologies. Accept it!
The influential black community has a beef with Imus and are blasting him to try and make themselves feel better. Get over it.
