On the April 4 edition of MSNBC's Imus in the Morning, host Don Imus referred to the Rutgers University women's basketball team, which is comprised of eight African-American and two white players, as "nappy-headed hos" immediately after the show's executive producer, Bernard McGuirk, called the team "hard-core hos." Later, former Imus sports announcer Sid Rosenberg, who was filling in for sportscaster Chris Carlin, said: "The more I look at Rutgers, they look exactly like the [National Basketball Association's] Toronto Raptors." McGuirk referred to the NCAA women's basketball championship game between Rutgers and Tennessee as a "Spike Lee thing," adding, "The Jigaboos vs. The Wannabees -- that movie that he had."

i am a black man that honestly respect this dude in a way. he's brutally honest and i dont care how u take it. we as blacks cap on whites in our derogatory but innocent way all the time. doesnt mean we hate or dislike them. keep it freakin real. we all talk amongst our own diffrently than we talk around outsiders.. i didnt get offended at all. actually i died laughin!!!!
I dont see what the big deal is. Imus called them nappy headed hoes. thats what black ppl are. Its like he was saying they were black. If u dont like being black then shut up.
rofl do u actually think black ppl give a FUCK what they can do for this country? they owe this country absolutely NOTHING, first off they were brought here involuntarily and secondly they were made to work for the lazy ass white man, and dont pull that get over it shit because if i killed your whole family and told you to get over it would you?
Its all ignorance, Hip Hop is ignorant if it wasn't it wouldn't be Hip Hop.Calling black women hoes and bs is ok but when a white person says it its wrong? The record label are in this too cuz its all about the money,cuz the hip hop community never had answers to this case,cuz at the end of the day if there was no paycheck for it they wont be doing it cuz Its all about the money!!!!!!!! And they will glorify there ignorance just to get that money!!!
lol he got fired because msnbc or whoever didn't want someone making those type of statements to represent them in any way. and seeing as "hip hop rappers" are independent and make music for themselves, it's up to the record labels to choose who they choose to sign. you can't compare a corporate television station who will have the whole country being pissed off at them to a rapper who makes it's own music. JUST SAYIN'
also yes i believe he got fired. Al sharpton probably went nuts on his ass. im pretty sure he got fined for that too, or went to jail even. If he went to jail then im gonna have to question those who charged him.
