Don "Imus in the morning show" cancelled on MSNBC channel due to racist remarks.

Started by Schecter11 pages

exactly. its an insult. so what if imus kept it clean of racism? what if he just randomly called a group of women "filthy sluts"?

I really don't know. I think there might have been a public outcry, but honestly I don't think it would hve been as loud. And that's what it comes down to, I think. It comes down to a general misogynist attitude among listeners of sports talk radio.

I should point out that I am a fan sports talk radio and enjoy listening to Jim Rome, though.

Let me show you an example of the idiots we have in marketing out there. This "Content Search" result was at the bottom of this very page.

p.s. If you can't figure out the ineptitude I'm illustrating, I'm sure there's a job on Madison Avenue waiting for you.

LMFAO! "Should of."

considering it came from a website called sodahead.com, it's really not that big of a surprise.

if they really cared about what was played in the public, they wouldn't feel as comfortable when R&B sex or "booty music" is played in stores, for anyone to hear. a lot of sex music is played during the day time, i have been in stores and have heard explicit sexual R&B music and just embarrassed, you know they don't leave much to the imagination these days (in the lyrics).

here's a funny reply about Imus (this is as letter) and it's funny b/c he embraces the stereotype of being a racist and you can hear the sarcasm in what he says:

"Still, as the ongoing Don Imus controversy illustrates, there is much more work to be done. Here we have a respected white broadcaster (and, like Our Leader, a true cowboy of the city, a Marlboro Man for the new millennium) who is being castigated for telling a joke employing an old slave era stereotype about promiscuous black women and the racial inferiority of their hair.

And it was a very funny joke, the kind of joke that regularly has the boys at my heritage defense association laughing their butts off. They just love him. Indeed, our kleagle won't allow us to light the heritage cross until after he's retold a couple of his favorite Imus jokes--the one about the money-grubbing Jews and another about Hitlery getting cornrows and gold caps on her teeth so she can get the black vote.

Unfortunately, black people's sense of humor isn't as highly developed as ours. They were offended by Imus' joke and are writing letters demanding that he be fired. That's a form of employment discrimination, isn't it? I think it's time for you to step up and arrest them for violating Imus's civil rights. That'll teach 'em for oppressing the white man.

Heterosexually yours,"

Could all this suppressed resentment and bitterness stem from some kind of lack of getting laid? I mean I know once I get my knob slobbed, I love all people again.

that works for you like food, but not everyone is motivated by sex, esp. when someone was raped, those things STAY in the mind when thinking about men.

my issue about sex music played in public stores for EVERYONE TO HEAR, tells EVERYONE that blacks do not care about displaying their sexual desires, so, that plus the word "ho" used every other way, translates to "it's ok to say it". plus, i will go as far as speculating that Imus probably had black friends who treated him like family and (to their embarrasment now) and shared those "ho" jokes with him!

"Should CBS of fired Imus?"

*Shoots himself in the face.*

That's...oh, God...the grammar...

No, because I used a hammergun. It's not fatal, just very painful.

Imus is back on the air, on the radio somewhere but on something like channel 379 on DirecTV. I watched about 30 minutes of it this morning to see what had changed. He even got a couple of black co-hosts.

Honestly, looked like he was afraid to speak, he was so stiff. At one point, they were talking about Obama's family, and Imus said, "I'm not trying to be politically correct, but that's a nice looking family." WTF????

It's just in him, i guess.

He doesn't know how not to be a racist. He has to untrain himself. (he won't like alot never will) I mean, would he have said that about a White family? No. Cause he'd, without question, and like everyone thinks, consider the White family the automatic/standard good looking family.

The superior/supremacy idea due to skin hue, is in him.

He's a cowboy, what do you expect? haha.

You're an idiot. He's afraid of being cancelled again.

Are you saying you've never seen an ugly white person?

Why hasn't FotN been banned for stupidity? He's just as annoying as Corrina.

Banning him would be racist. I mean no one would ever ban a white poster because the mods would, without question, and like everyone thinks, consider the white poster the automatic/standard good poster.
