IMUS, who I have not heard of till today apologized for a very bad comment. The thing I am really confused is that reverends allen sharpten and such want him fired? This looks like spreading hatered to me. Where's the love and forgiveness.

guess i don't know what it is about. if this person has done something, then a pastor has obligation to remove them from teaching/preaching until they get their life back into line with the belief they are teaching. but as for 'firing' someone, it would depend on the deed..... you can forgive and move on, but that doesnt mean you accept certain things as ok... sometimes it means moving on and not being around that person anymore

Yea, I agree, I'm not sure why they want the guy crucified. He made an utterly, ignorant, stupid comment and he did apologize. He can't take it back, now is he really remorseful, that's only known to him and God, however I do think it shows that he has a bit of kahunas -if you will- by taking the heat and not "no commenting".
I think that the 2 reverends like to stir the pot a bit when it comes to racism. You can call anyone a "Ho" or a "bi&#h" when rapping because that's assumed it's artistic and not to mention free speech right? But isn't it really the same??? Good Question by you!

Many times, pastors/Reverends forget their duty and use the pulpit as a whipping post, some meddle too much in other peoples business, when they should be preaching the Gospel.

Unfortunately, pastors get under pressure and go "in the flesh" sometimes and spout off without realizing how the remarks are taken.
No, it's not right for a pastor to say that, but I hope it's just a case of someone saying it without thinking, or a troll.

Racism is not just a white thing.
