What Imus said compared to most rap and hip hop songs is nothing. How can you be outraged when this language is an everyday occurance with some people in your own culture ?

It's called hypocrisy. I like that you are calling them out on it. Good for you! If they don't like the terms, they shouldn't be using them themselves.

The black leaders are mad and want black rappers to stop this kind of talk for the sample fact. Some people think its OK to talk like lmus did, this was a perfect example why black rappers need to stop. Some people figure if they can do it, put there own people down, so can we.However, I personally don't think that was right what he said, why they where kids playing ball, not in a rap video or acting like Ho's in one. They where kids playing a sport. Some grown man didn't have the right to put them down like that. Yes rappers say it all the time, but they don't mean innocent kids playing a sport, there talking about Ho's in a rap video or hood rats. I guess some people have a lot to learn.

What Imas said was morally wrong, but unfortunately many blacks, whites, hispanics, etc. speak the same way in our "free speech" country. I think this is only being blown out of proportion because it was said by a white man towards blacks. If it were the other way around, we wouldn't even here about it. Like someone said earlier, we had two white cops shoot a black man (teen) because he was threatening to shoot them. They were suspended during the investigation, but lawsuits took them to the state courts. If it were two black cops, they would have been back to work without any problems. I just think it is becoming reverse racism when whites are discriminated for saying and doing the same things as blacks.

Rappers have been judged for making use of those words of their music, you merely do no longer pay attention approximately in the information. Imus is a grown guy, he knew what he become asserting become incorrect. the gang "Nappy Roots" talks approximately Black delight, that we as a race ought to love the beneficial aspects that we are born with. they have under no circumstances spoke of as Black women human beings "nappy head hoes". i do no longer merely like the undeniable fact that rappers talk in this count, even though it sales to the loads, White every person is obviously procuring it, so those music executives proceed to broadcast this music because of the fact they ought to generate profits. Our society, American society is unquestionably incorrect and we unquestionably ought to think of appropriate to the message we deliver to young little ones incredibly young women human beings. the clarification why Black comedians proceed to make relaxing of White human beings is via the fact this is time-honored by ability of White human beings. in case you do unlike some thing then arise against it. i actually merely want that human beings would end being so racially conscious and start up viewing human beings as persons.

It drives the wedge between the races and these guys do it well...Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. They are after their own agenda.
We had a young black male shoot and kill two police officers in Charlotte, NC and do you think they had anything to say about that? There was never even a struggle he just came up behind them and shot them both in the back of the head! It's all about putting down others to make them look better. They are not out to help others, just themselves!

Some do, but it is few and far between. A large portion of the black race is still having a very hard time with the concept of accountability.

Because it is a stupid and horrible thing between races especially those of African decent of them selves calling them selves derogatory names and for some reason call racist into heaven and hell when some other race says it, it's a weird thing
The funny thing is that this question or post will most likely be labeled as racist but meh
