Imus Fired!!!
Am I first?
|
Yes..... I am first in breaking news!
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/ |
You scooped cnn for a minute or two. ;)
|
fuck him, he made a racist and sexist comment... btw, it's not the first comment like that he made
|
Remember this was the 1st Imus thread.
|
|
he ain't been fired yet.
|
yes he has.
turn on the tv |
I always love the double standards.. comedians have open reign to make fun of white people.. call them Cracker, honey, whitey or what ever but as soon as some white guys makes fun of another race he's a racist and has to be fired or boycotted.
I try to never judge people by race but by their actions however I do get sick of the double standards. |
Piss off the advertisers and you can forget about it.... CBS was fine with a 2-week suspension until their advertisers started bailing... and their deal with MSNBC fell apart....
|
Let's see if CBS continues their new found "sensitivity", and cleans up Viacom of all that bullshit on MTV.
It was bound to happen. I knew one day, somebody would say something like this. It has opened a dialogue, thank God, and maybe we can actually get something done. I , for one, am tiered of the rest of this shit too. I do not support the double standard. If in fact, the Black community is speaking about this as a whole, then it is now time to start policing ourselves, and get on this minstrel sideshow that some hip hop has become, and stop making these words mainstream. I don't agree with what he said, but I still give him some credit for the amount of charity work he has done over the years, obviously he is not a complete ass, but, it was bound to happen. |
Thanks for the news update =)
|
Maybe Shane Diesel can replace Imus as the new morning drive talk show host?
|
Michael Savage says way way worse on a daily basis. Why doesnt anyone fire him?
|

R |

I think the difference is, comedians say things within a joke and are known for their act, so when people go to see them they know what to expect. Plus.. comedians don't direct dark comments at anyone specifically as a rule. Imus has been known to say some pretty rough things about specific people as he was known for that. Nothing was done about it, so all has been well. it's just this time he went too far. I think mostly because these gals were just young students/athletes trying to do good and he slammed them pretty hard. Then of course the media went wild with it; bringing it to the world's attention causing even more of a backlash to the point of advertisers pulling their ads. Then the inevitable happened... There have always been double standards within the two races... Ya have the Negro college fund, black whatever month, black this or that... Where if there were a suggestion to have a white college fund, or white whatever, there would be screams of racism.. |
HOLY SHiT!

I hate Imus always have but free speech is just that free speech i am sick of our freedoms being robbed from us on a daily basis. It doesn't matter what race you are if you are an american today you lost just a little more of your freedom. what people don't understand and what this country has forgotten over the years is that the hardest part of freedom is letting others have theirs

You're right...It's not the first time he has done something like this....And just like the other times, he hit the nail on the head. Have you seen the pics of the women involved? They do look like nappy headed hos. |
I'm glad he got fired. He should have his ass kicked also. It's not right to bad mouth young woman in college getting an education no matter how they look.
Fuck him and all the other people who think freedom of speech allows you to hurt other peoples feelings for your personal laughs. And for those who keep saying "what about the rappers" well fuck them too it's plenty of real ho's out here to talk about besides those woman. What about all the nasty porn sluts that suck dick for money and all the gold diggers fucking for gifts (Anna Nicole Smith) now that's was a ho. |

He can say whatever he wants. No one is throwing him in jail. But, I guess you feel whites should pay no consequences for their actions. Gotcha. |
not suprising really

If it was a black man calling a bunch of blondes "yellow headed bimbos" or something, nobody would have said anything |

It was a witch hunt, flat out. Rap music does more damage to "black culture" than any white person alive could do. Listen to the lyrics of this song and tell me that black culture is not diseased https://youtube.com/watch?v=di1AxReAGmI |

I don't even know who that is. I mean I do, but I have never heard him talk. So who gives a flying fuck ?!

And as for letting others have their freedon as well... You're right... One's freedom ends where another's begins.. As some think Imus had the freedom to say what he said... Others also had the freedom to react, and the rest is as it is.. Freedom isn't one sided... |

Still not understanding how the word "nappy" is being made into such a big deal. That was a nickname for the creator of Napster, based on his nappy hair. White dude too. :winkwink:
http://www.time.com/time/poy2000/pwm/fanning.html There's even a hiphop group called Nappy Roots http://www.down-south.com/images/cov...Watermelon.JPG :2 cents: |
