It's Whirly folks.
Haha another article came out and I loved Howard Stern's response to this as well as this little tidbit:
"He has urged critics to recognize that his show is a comedy that spreads insults broadly. Imus or his cast have called Colin Powell a "weasel," New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson a "fat sissy," referred to Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell of Colorado, an American Indian, as "the guy from `F Troop,"' and to Gwen Ifill, a black journalist, as "the cleaning lady." He and his colleagues also called the New York Knicks a group of "chest-thumping pimps."
and Howard Stern's comments:
"He's apologizing like a guy who got his first broadcasting job," Stern said. "He should have said, '(expletive) you, it's a joke."'

I think blacks, should stay on one side, and whites stay on another. This way, the black race will stop complain, on how bad it is, and they have their own place. I bet, the white race will be more advance, on their side, and the black part will still whine, because they don't do anything for themselves. The crime rate will drop, dramatically, and that rap music crap will stop, poising white children's mind. No more Fubu,jordans, or whatever. baggy ripped jeans, and cursing every 5 seconds. the drugs will go down, and the fact that they, won't shove it in white culture, and contaminated them, any more. finally we could not be held back, by the black man, and his special treatment. i also hate, how every black person, think white people are racist, because of any little thing we say. Blacks are mostly racist against other blacks. Notice they say, when a rare occasion, that a black person is successful, they are acting white, by other blacks...it's because they know. When they speak proper English, and not saying, yo yo yo, they are acting white, by other blacks. Wehn they are not smoking weed,cursing, and robbing people, with that crap on their heads, it's acting white, by other blacks.
this looks vaguely familiar, huh?

I agree with Howard Stern, omg.
I watched the comment of the Rutger's University BB couch. She talked about the academic talents of her female BB players (so her argument is that they aren't stupid and they are "worthy" or contribute to society...so that tells us right there, how she translated the words "nappy headed hos" and the resulting emotions from what was interpreted...so now that we know her defense, we know what the antagonist is all about, it represents the translated word as meaning "they are not intelligent, don't contribute to society, and are unworthy" and that emotion becomes a character that is racist, that's the antagonist).
About 10 years ago or more, someone could argue that athletes are meat heads and are stupid, but a lot has changed and many people are aware of the credentials and the academic requirements of college athletes. I doubt anyone who is a reasonable person, would assume that college athletes are generally stupid or below the average in intelligence. The "nappy headed hos" comment invoked a particular emotion and a reason for defense, but defense from WHAT? I've heard that term (nappy headed hos) used to describe black females who aren't maintaining their looks (esp. their hair), it's a pejorative term and sometimes used by blacks to "classify" a person, now when blacks hear a white person use it, they ASSUME that the classification is more derogatory. And regarding physical looks or maintenance, you do see many black females who aren't "kept up" b/c they aren't financially secure or they are putting their income into a child or spouse. Plenty of people stop taking care of themselves for various reasons in life. His referral to them as "nappy headed hos" must have been translated as the feelings of being less or not progressive or uneducated. Once you understand the feelings, you can figure out why the couch puts up that kind of defense or argument.
I think the black community (church leaders, civil rights leaders), FEEDS on emotionalism, not sure if that's a feel good method or something more strategic, but it's not solving the overall condition, why would SOME blacks feel so hurt about this, what are they rehearsing?

i have plenty of words of my own, i don't need words put in my mouth, i have NEVER stated that, geez, the tactics are never ending! i am not your enemy, i may be talking very harshly about the black community, but i am not your enemy, i am just suggesting to look at what's being rehearsed, and lighten up on blaming everything on whites or slavery.

i was simply pointing out clear parallels between your 'talking points'.
I hope this Imus guy gets fired. I heard him say recently, "I'm a good person who said a bad thing" and then something to the effect of "where's the forgiveness?" I'll tell you Mr. Imus, that I forgvive you for what you said, but you can't keep your job. In my view forgivness and being employed are two totally different things. Regardless of who the fcuk may say things like what he did (black comedians, other blacks, etc.), it's wrong. Everything in the media is propaganda, and if you are in a postion to reach millions daily (which most balck comedians accept Dave Chappelle, Eddie Murphy, and a few others, aren't) you have a responsibilty not to put forth negative propaganda to the masses, if he stays at NBC he will just continue putting forth garbage, which contributes to the fueling and deepening of Amercia's racial Issue. And yes I'm exempting blacks from this to a degree.
For those who aren't familiar with his show, he regularly slams MSNBC (the TV station he is on), calling them idiots, morons, and low-lifes, to name a few of the derogatory terms he has for the employees. He only cares about his radio show. So I don't think pulling the plug on his TV spot is going to affect him. The radio will, however.

Honestly the best thing about the Imus show was when I lived in Washington DC and had long commutes, Stern would rag his show to death back then.
