Comments on: Could You Call Oprah A Nappy-Headed Ho?

Nancy Giles Says It's Time For White Men To Stop Monopolizing Media

Hair? We have sunk to the level of keeping our self esteem high by way of our hair style or lack of it. We should be extremely worried that our hair salons are called beauty shops, listed as such in the yellow pages. Why is our hair style tied to our beauty, why would we consider remarks about our hair worthy of firing someone. Now you know why muslim women choose to cover their hair, so they are judged for their character not their beauty. The true atrocities are being commited by cooperate america and the "public servants" they pay into office. The true atrocities are being commited by leaders who do not think intellegently before they speak, act, decide or vote. I would never support Clinton or Obama because they do none of the above.

Imus talked, walked, and broadcasted on the edege.
And like all who stay on the edge too long, they fall off.

The I-man went over the cliff.

Hey Nancy, you forgot to mention that big mouth Rosie O'Donnell...like what she says is of importance?

I agree that there are too many music performance artists and comics out there saying exactly the same thing that Imus is being fired for. Who is making the choice as to when it is and when it is not offensive? Is the choice being made in accordance to who it is? If it is unacceptable for one it is unacceptable for all. It's time to be "equally responsible".

Imus did not get away with anything and is paying the price but as Nancy Giles so eloquently illustrated LOTS of people do get away with saying things at least equal to and worse than what Imus said. My biggest hope is that all the good that Imus has done in his life will continue and grow. He and his wife have helped so many. He is paying the price, but should all the people that he has helped suffer too? We are all human and we all make mistakes - I am not saying what he said was ok under ANY circumstance. But the opportunity to correct our mistakes and grow is what this can be all about. The Rutgers Team brillantly know this and accepted his apology - how about everyone else doing the same and moving to do the right thing themselves. I was a first time donor to Imus's Radiothon because I didn't want the kids he serves to suffer more. Imus did not get away with anything.

Thank you Nancy Giles!
It's about time a voice of reason pointed out the pervasive lack of respect for ALL women in our media and culture.
As a professional actress who recently found herself invisible after turning 50 (Just wait - your turn will come), I have long lamented the disconnect between the perception of women in the media and the reality that surrounds me. I proudly wear a Hillary Clinton for President wrist band and live in hope that we will triumph over these no-longer acceptable perceptions.
