While I personally have no problem with Imus and his statement's about the Rutgers basketball team, I DO believe that it wasn't appropriate for over the air broadcasting. Actually, I have a problem with a lot of things going out over the air on radio and TV from a standards point of view. I can remember a time when a radio DeeJay had to have an FCC Operator's License and follow a code of ethics or risk getting in big trouble. Obviously, things have changed in today's world. I say things in private that I'd never say on a broadcast. I believe broadcasters should be held to higher standards.

Now that I've said that (and the Imus thing has nothing at all to do with the First Amendment), I will say that the whole thing has been blown way out of proportion by people like Jackson, Sharpton and even Vivian Stringer, the Rutgers coach. There does seem to be a double standard in who gets held to the fire in these instances. It also gives people like the Reverends a chance to push their agenda and to try to blackmail the corporate world into giving their "cause" some play.

I think what Imus said was stupid. I also think it was taken completely out of context from the overall discussion from which it came and the reaction has far exceeded the transgression.

Every time Chris Rock or some other black comedian says "nigger", "nappy" or "ho", I want Jackson and Sharpton to rain thunder on their ass! Yea right!

I thought he was way out of line. He wasn't talking about some welfare case, he was talking about girls that played for the national championship at a good college.

Just the same, the Posse is still going to bitch slap the Outlaws this year like a bunch of nappy headed ho's....

BillW beat me to the point. It is amazing to me watching HBO for example how many black comedians can stand on stage in front of a black audience dropping the "N" bomb like it's going out of style and other racial slurs and the audience laughs their ass off, jumping up and down, high fiving each other, amazing.

Let Michael Richards drop an "N" bomb on some hecklers who got back what they gave, and he has to get sesitivity counseling, and they want Imus's career. Enough is enough already. tell these people to police themselves and they will begin to solve the problem. We're the last of their worries, and maybe that's the problem.

Yur killin' me cubed...........just killin' me!!

the first time i heard the n-word "nappy" was here...talking about being po and hangin with hoodlums...gettin whoopins...psrawlin graffitti...summing up a total stereotype...from a BLIND GUYS PERSPECTIVE. imagine what Mr. Wonder would have had to say if he could actually see what a quality head of hair looks like?

pretty clear that brother Al and Unlce Jesse are too busy booking trips for their riot bus to buy a Stevie Wonder record.

Looking back on when I Was a little nappy headed boy
Then my only worry Was for Christmas what would be my toy

Even though we sometimes Would not get a thing
We were happy with the Joy the day would bring

Sneaking out the back door To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
Greeted at the back door
With "boy thought I told you not to go outside,"
Tryin' your best to bring the Water to your eyes
Thinkin' it might stop her From woopin' your behind

I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
Cause I love them so

Brother says he's tellin' 'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl
Just don't tell I'll give you Anything you want in this whole wide world
Mama gives you money for Sunday school
You trade yours for candy after church is through

Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy)
Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the wall
You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
But while you were doin'it-it sure felt outta sight

I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go

Alright Swamp, THAT'S IT!!!! You're banned from here for two weeks!!!! LMFAO

Fenders are like vacuums... they both suck.

Also, regarding the comment Imus made... wasn't he reacting to the comment made by the producer, who called the team " ho's " first?

Fenders are like vacuums... they both suck.

SO if Limbaugh or Hannity had said something like that, how many on here would be calling for their jobs???? I guess I am tired of the 2 biggest racists (Al and Jesse) in the country being taken seriously anymore.

When words that are allowed to be spoken are dependant upon the race of those speaking them, that is as racist as anything there is.

All in good fun Drak... I can't believe how quickly my one and only post on the new Lincoln Speedway message board got yanked... What's so bad about starting a "Port Royal Sucks!" thread to stir up the troops...lol?

Hey! Hey! This is a sprint car forum! You can't say that! Now they should ban you unless you change that to throwing methanol on a fire!

just one of those things where Imus shoulda known better................but you can always could on the rest of the country being stupid enough to get so mad about it.

How much would could a wouldchuck chuck if a 
wouldchuck could chuck would

Yeah, pretty soon Al and Jesse will probably be protesting that the USA still calls our Capitol building the White House, too. LOL (could'nt resist, after all, this is a "race" forum)

Fire, methanol... good one, Rogue9!!! LOL

Fenders are like vacuums... they both suck.

imus was just try'in to gain some street cred and play to his "urban" listeners. lol. he was just repeteing the gangsta lingo from watching dave shapell and those old eddie murphy snl skits. "hi, i'm velvet jones and you too can be a ho'." lmfao. po' cracka' jus wanted to fit in.

you mean dave chappelle?

just spelling it the way it sounds. just like they are teaching the nappy headed little urban kids. lmao. i bet imus thought he was throwing them bitches a compliment. and if it had come from mr. "chapelle" they would have taken it as one. but now he has jesse jackass and al sharp-tongue up his butt. but that's ok, anus, i mean imus is a big enough asshole to accomodate them both.
