He is no racist in my eyes, the racist people are ensconced behind their computers in their communities breathing their sick racial views through the tips of their fingers. Those people by the way are Black, White, Latino, Asian and Arab. It's obvious that this country and others regional will not be able to over come racism in the way we want, but it would be nice to see a better thread of respect for each other as humans. Racists black, White, Latino, Asian and Arab and native FUCK YOURSELVES!
It's still disrespectful towrds women. Even if it was true for all of us that doesn’t' mean Imus should have done that. I bet if the rappers in the "black community" talked about Caucasian women you and Imus would get all pissy.
BOTTOM LINE just because you here someone disrespect women doesn't make it alright. So there is actually no excuse, and if Don isn't mature enough to know the difference from right or wrong perhaps he isn't responsible enough to be on radio.
@RaptorQueen You raise a healthy point, but if I'm not mistaken, Rappers have been using these deplorable terms for some time now, and which one of them has been silenced for it? I like rap and I know that the usage of these foul terms are wrong and offensive. As far as me and Don getting offensive at rappers talking about white women in these derogatory ways, They already do! and not just generally about being women they slurr with the use of this becky as in head like a white girl gives.
Nobody got all crazy about that.... I agree, that his type of humor may be too much for regular TV, and as i do not know him personally, you never know he could be racist, but to silence him for saying something not nearly as bad as some others I've heard is a little off scale.
@bizinessfirst well first off fucking all it's a bullshit excuse since all gngsta rappers aren't representatives towards the black community. Many of us have too much self respect for that, oh and by the way we're not all rump shaking hoeish gold diggers. That's not really fair. Also I understand that there are people of minority who can be unreasonable, but don't blame us all.
@RaptorQueen When did I blame you for anything, and how is IMUS a representative for the white community in the same respect. I don't believe all black women rump shaking Hoeing gold diggers and please tell me where i stated such a thing.
@bizinessfirst oh the profanity was sort of directd at him. nevermind, i am badly mistaken it's just that tere are so many ass holes on here. Oh and I never said you said that I mean if Don thought that we shouldn't be whining about it because it's played in rap songs he is maybe being stereotypical
I don't get why they demonize this man and portray him as this racist evil person. His show is built around (humor) and political absurdity and this country is becoming too emotional about what they hear. Fucking rappers and comedians do the same thing. Why are things not stated about how he's helped people from all different nationalities, or how he has made fun of people from all different nationalities and not just pointed the finger at black people which by the way I am.
Slowly, FREEDOM OF SPEECH is eroding from Political Correctness. Don Imus is about the only one in the media I respect for his courage to speak what's on his mind!
Why the fuck does anybody care what this fucking douchebag says? He sounds like he has a set of testicles in his fucking mouth. FUCK HIM, FUCK HIS SHOW, FUCK HIS WIFE, FUCK HIS PSUEDO APOLOGY. YOU FUCKIN RACIST PIECE OF SHIT.
I'm black and I watched Imus before the incident and I still support him...what he said was reprehensible and unacceptable, but he is absolutely correct...he supported ford for senator and often spoke nicely of many african-americans...I dont hate sharpton or jackson and quite frankly advertisers cost imus his job
first they came for Imus......then for Rush....then for Hannity....then for Savage....
sharpton & jackson are hucksters. they create racism where there is none. they divide people. they give rappers a pass, Imus is a white guy with blue eyes so he gets sacrificed. Imus will be back. cbs radio will get sued 4 breaking there contract.
I Love Him. There is no one like IMUS.That's why they lynched him before our eyes. Just as they stole two Presidencies -right on TV.What genius to get Sharpton to pose as the instigater.Don is out because Cheney& the "war criminals" wanted that voice GONE.WAKE UP!!
US marines violated international humanitarian law:
A platoon of elite Marine Special Ops troops reacted with "excessive force" after an ambush in Afghanistan last month, opening fire on pedestrians and civilian vehicles along a 10m stretch of road and killing 12 people - including a 4-year-old girl, a 1-year-old boy and three elderly villagers - an investigation by an Afghan human rights commission alleges.

"Mr. Gonzales has presided over an unprecedented crippling of the Constitution's time-honored checks and balances," it declares. "He has brought rule of law into disrepute, and debased honesty as the coin of the realm." Alluding to ongoing scandal, it notes: "He has engendered the suspicion that partisan politics trumps evenhanded law enforcement in the Department of Justice."

US troops in Afghan rampage * Correspondents in Washington * April 16, 2007
A PLATOON of US marine special forces went on a shooting rampage in Afghanistan last month, killing 12 civilians - including a four-year-old girl and a one-year-old boy - and wounding at least 33 others, according to a US military inquiry and a report by the Afghan human rights commission.
allmantown, Don Imus is not a racist and not a hater. If anything, he is just a guy who made a living making people laugh by teasing them about themselves. He used to laugh his head off when anyone, including his own wife and child, ripped him an insult in return. David Gregory knows this... he often traded insults with Imus and they both laughed. Firing him is SO unfair and SO misguided = selective prosecution.
All stereotypes are STUPID. Yesterday, Oprah Winfrey said "It's always some white guy" when she was talking about people who cannot "get in the groove" while dancing. That is a STUPID stereotype too. Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, John Travolta, and Mikhail Baryshnikov come to mind - ALL great dancers & ALL WHITE MEN. But Fire Oprah??? NO!!! Imus was scapegoated.
I was watching Oprah and was thinking the same thing. I felt that he should not have been singled out. After this whole thing I am just more sensitive to how you make people feel uncomfortable any race.
Oh, mochasweet... yes yes YES. When more people in this world come around to your sense of universal compassion, there will be HOPE for humanity. You are a SWEET heart.
Proctor and Gamble must have been worried about losing all those nappy headed customers for that hair-straightening goo they manufacture, LOL! What Fuzzy thinking, ho ho ho (that was a laugh, in case anyone wondered...)!!! ;P
Sid and Bernie made asses of themselves as well...and even though no one seems to be asking for it, did those two goons apologize? Even on their own initiative?
look,im tired of all this..im black and imus isnt a racist.its all fun on imus in the moprning.thats how the show is.Sharpton and co are all Greedy and really only care about their popularity and money
Don, You Fucked up. Do the right thing RESIGN, ASAP. He sounds like John Kerry after his so called Bad Joke, about our Troops. He had all Weekend to prepare his statement that he was reading. This didn't come from the heart. The bottem line He's paid to trash who ever they feel like. Imus has Foot and Mouth Diease!!!
Coulter doesn't have a show. Duhhh, She appears on the shows. Another Kramer??? Let's see how many have canceled to go on his so called show? A Lot!!!

It's OK to criticize an old white shock jock for saying "nappy" and "hoe" but not rappers?:
"Love to get my girl, to rock that body
Before I left I hit the Bacardi
Went to her house to get her out of the pad
Dumb hoe says something stupid that made me mad
She said somethin that I couldn't believe
So I grabbed the stupid bitch by her nappy ass weave
She started talkin shit, wouldn't you know?
Reached back like a pimp and slapped the hoe."
