Comments on: Imus In The Mourning

[chzbykr]

Don Imus is a great American and has done so very much for black and white america in his charitable causes and also in his commentaries, which for the most part are meant to be humorous but are also cutting edge to the truth so many times in the political arena. He will be missed. I will in all my consious awareness boycott CBS ans MSNBC for their kneejerk reaction. And these sponsers.

Imus being fired is the most stupid thing I have ever heard of.. The good Rev. Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson are by far the two most racist people I have ever seen.. Its ok for blacks to talk about ''WHITEY'' and ''REDNECK'' but god forbid someone say something about blacks. i guess as long as you blame someone else for all the problems you have it will always be this way. take responcability for you self... My self and several million more will never watch you station or use its advertizers until Imus has his spot back..Maybe what Imus said wont ruin the rest of your lives....

Sharpton's hypocrisy and Jackson's rhyming is no excuse to rationalize Imus' racism. Imus could have and should have gone after those self-appoiinted moralists and no one would have critcized his remarks. The Rutgers athletes/scholars were not an appropriate target.

to cburn665, it will be a T I N Y satilite station with a BIG VOICE. From reading all the blogs, CBS lost, IMUS WON

CBS missed an excellent opportunity for an American public display of healing and forgiveness. Firing Imus does not solve anything; instead, it helps to create more tension between races. As usual, our nation will not get to the core of the problem that is related to historical hatred and oppression of Black African-Americans. Yes, Mr. Imus%u2019s remarks hurt but as CBS has admitted Mr. Imus %u201Cflourished in a culture that permits a certain level of objectionable expression that hurts and demeans a wide range of people.%u201D Across the board just look at how Black African-Americans are viewed and treated (publicly and privately). Black African-American woman have always been a safe target in the wide range of people. Afterall, who protects Black African-American women? CBS? The Government? Rappers? No one because demeaning Black African-American women is a multi-zillion dollar business for America and now that Imus is fired, labeled as the problem we can get back to business as usual.

The Right Wing took the Janet Jackson %u201Cboob-tube%u201D mishap during the SuperBowl half time show and ran with it! The Republic Party controlled FCC went on a political witch hunt under the cloak of %u201Cmorality%u201D.

I see this situation with Don Imus has left the typically hypocritical Right Wing a bit unsettled. The Conservative Media Radio talking point machine which regularly energizes their listeners by spewing hate of Liberals, Middle Class Workers, and of course various Races, is now left to ponder which one of their many Right Wing Talkers will be next?

The firing of Don Imus was too much and not warranted.
This is pure hipocracy.

I recall AL Sharpton and Jesse Jackson condemming the Duke Lacrosse players and "demanding justice" a leap to conviction yet, I hear of no apology from these people now?

Michael Richards aka "Kramer" made a racial remark at a comedy event and was forced to apologize

Why can't Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson protest in front of civic center arenas demanding black Hip Hop stars and comedians to stop their racial slurs towards their own culture and boycott all sponsors supporting this.
I do not see them demanding these artists tone down their anti-white lyrics

Who are they kidding-dont call me the "N" word and turn around and make money off if it by selling music and movies.

If I recall Stevie Wonder wrote a song titled "I Wish" in this song, his opening lyrics are "Looking back on when I was a little nappy headed boy"

Since when did this become offensive-only when a white person said it?

We will only begin to exist together when we all begin to respect each other as who we are,human and err is human.

Get Don Imus back
