The thing that gets me is that this guy has been doing radio for a loooong time, he had to have known better than to think he would just get away with something like that. Freakin' idiot. Then again, a little scandal adds a little salt to a reputation...

It's called freedom of speech to speak ones mind. It is what this country was founded on. It may not have been P.C. but it was spoken out and was done in a joking fashion. I can't stand Imus or Rosie but stand by anything they say I may not agree with it but it is protected by the constitution. Btw we are to forgive Rev Al and Jesse Jackson for what they have done but a guy makes one comment and he can not be forgiven. Where is the justice for the now slandered Duke Lacrosse players? Wake up and let things go people. You can't change everyone's opinion and only make what they say all the more true by playing the race card in every situation. I have no problem with any race under the sun but enough is enough. If you can't laugh at yourself then you shouldn't laugh at anyone else. Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy have made fun of white people forever and I laugh, so I should not laugh at jokes about black people? Rappers can say the word ho all day but I can't use it? Fire them as well. Freedom of speech just watch what you say.

No, I would say "get over it honey you will hear worst than that before your dead."
I mean this is so over done. Have you ever heard some of the music that is put out? It is so much worse. At colllege we had to listen to that coach go on and on like someone was murdered by the time she was done we were changeing sides. Get a life. Then someone put on some songs that were written by blacks that made that look like nothing.
I mean come on this is way over the edge of reality.
When I was growning up some of the things I was called couldn't be printed. That one girl got to me, "I am going to be scared for life" Good thing she never went to our school.
she wouldn't come out of her bedroom.

yeah, better than a 2wk suspension.
The problem with America is that the real issues are ignored. Racism and sexism have been ignored. When those issues come up in the press, we repress by suspending and/or firing. What happened to the real issue? Nothing. Just gets ignored and we move on to the next celeb who says something stupid.

No. I'd tell her to ignore the Moron- & change the channel. I have BETTER things to do than chasing after idiots who need psychiatric help. Sticks & stones, bombs and bullets- need attending to. -Not radio announcers who are paid to say stupid things to entertain stupid people. "Backbone" means handling weakness- not pointing it out & crying about it. Imus isn't "going anywhere" -so deal with it.

No. People who get upset at comedy are the ones we should be "punching out"

there is nothing wrong with having nappy hair at all. it's what god gave you.
