  • Perhaps Capus and other media execs need to pay more attention to the fact that minorities are under-represented as anchors/hosts. Why suddenly listen to people whom you keep in the background. What hypocritical BS?

  • This from the asshole who's network ran the Nappy Headed Cho 'manifesto' into the ground 24-7 the second they got it. Fuck him and his BS hypocrisy about airing indecency and etc. He's your typical empty suit. Hey give us another 44 episodes of Dateline Predator Bust moron, yeah we really need THAT.

  • WARNING: FRENCH SOLDIERS SHOOTING BLACK PEOPLE.Go to search and type: "GBAGBO" and click on " French soldiers shooting civilians in Ivory Coast". French army wanted to assassinate the President of Cote d'Ivoire, Mr. GBAGBO. French soldiers on their way to the president private palace have been stopped by the young, courageous,and unarmed YOUNG PATRIOTS of Cote d'Ivoire.French people don't like African and American people. YOU CAN BE THE NEXT VICTIM OF FRANCE'S RACIST ACT.

  • david: I understand your point, but I disagree that we've "undone" the past. The stereotypes live on. No one is wanting to throw anyone in jail, but the speech itself creates a threatening environment for people who have done nothing to deserve it, and who have been thru hell for 100s of years. It's not about guilt, it's about justice and making changes as best we can.

  • How can you look at one of the most free countries and see racism lurking everywhere? It seems to me that it isn't so much a cause to creating racial diversity, it's exploiting it. I personally think that Imus' comments are dumb and reckless, but he has every right to be this way. I'm tired of this racial vendetta.

  • And, no I don't believe that we have a hostile country to minorities. In fact, with affirmative action we are heading towards the opposite. This double standard in how we address minorities is terrible, partly because nobody has the guts to stand up and say it's wrong, something like white guilt. Of course I don't want a racist country, but I don't want to through all racists in jail. They have the right to be stupid.

  • I am in favor of his right to be stupid. Nothing more. If anything sums up my belief of this topic, it's "I have no right to tell him he can't, I have every right to not like that he does." It's a wonderful philosophy, I pretty much think hippies need to get real jobs, but I accept that they don't have to. I make fun of sketchy people like goths, but accept that they have the right to be stupid.

  • Democrats want to dissown Imus and make the world believe he's a Republican, he is a died in the wool democrat.

    Republicans don't vote for people like Kerry. It seems that some of you Democrats have fallen for the liberal lie.

  • NBC and CBS have both proved since firing Imus that they are both hypocritical in their programming and do not do anything to uphold values that they preach about. Many have abandoned those networks. Long Live Imus & Bernie and Long Live Free Speech. Sharpton and Jackson are liberal terrorists.

  • All blacks are nappy headed ho's. I don't see what the big deal is.
