Imus really is obnoxious, but it is no reason to take him out. It that were a reason half of Hollywood and about that many talk hosts would be out.
What he said was really really really obnoxious, but he has said much worse about every thing and every one imaginable.
Late night talk shows often use these words and black comedians are way too gross for most of us, but black people are laughing like it's funny or something. Ever watch comedy jam?
Most of the audience, my group included, walked out on Red Foxx in Vegas.
I'm surprised that Imus even responded to Sharpton. That is out of the norm for him.
Freedom of speech allows people to gather in public and advocate "death to Americans". That is not offensive???!!!
And, it is in print and across the air waves, on the Internet...everywhere.

You don't think calling the women's basketball team "nappy headed hos" is an insult and racist comment? Freedom of speech is one thing but using racist language on a radio show and insulting a team of athletes is a completely different thing.

It's reverse racism. People are just too sensitive nowadays.
