Question

if it was a black person that made the remark. bunch of nappy headed hoes would they have made a big deal over it?
i mean they call each other the "n" word and it does not bother them one bit. so the question is if it was a black person would he or she be where imus is?????? i think not it would be done and over but what do you think?

Answer 1

I JUST HAVE TO POST THIS!!!!!!!!


You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.

You call me "Whiteboy", "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey" and you think
it's OK.

But when I call you, ******, Kike, Towelhead, Sand-******, Camel Jockey,
Beaner, ****, or Chink you call me a racist.

You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are
the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?

You have Miss Black America. You have the United ***** College Fund.
You have Martin Luther King Day. You have Black History Month. You
have Cesar Chavez Day. You have Yom Hashoah You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi
You have the NAACP. You have BET.

If we had WET(white entertainment television) we'd be racists.

If we had a White Pride Day you would call us racists.

If we had Miss White America, we'd be racists.

If we had white history month, we'd be racists.

If we had an organization for only whites to "advance" our lives, we'd
be racists.

If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships,
you know we'd be racists.

There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US, yet if
there were "White colleges" that would be a racist college.

In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your
race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call
us racists.

You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not
afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call
us racists.

You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police
officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer
running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a
racist.

I am proud.

But, you call me a racist.

Why is it that only whites can be racists?

Answer 2

You are right. Look how close to prison the Duke Lacrosse players came because of reverse racism. That nappy headed ho thought she could cry rape against the wealthy white boys and win, and she almost did, thanks to some stupid white district attorney who preys on the ignorance of minorities just as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson does. How many Katrina victims did they personally invite into their homes. Where I'm from, it was the white people who reached out to help all the races. None of the black churches or families reached out. I think the tables are about to turn. I'm so tired of seeing Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the likes of them with their lips poked out and that deer in the headlights look in their eyes like the are victimized by the white man.

Having opinions doesn't make you racists. Hating someone because they are of a certain race is. Racism is a two-way street and I think America is finally admitting it and feeling that it is okay to say it.

And another thing, there were also white girls on the Rutgers team. How does that make the remark racist? It was a stupid remark, but he's not the only person on television making stupid comments. Turn on BET. Enough said.

.......or maybe not......
Regarding the argument about the sponsors-why don't we boycott the sponsors on BET who advertise during the stand up comedians bits on white people. Why doesn't Al Sharpton demand an apology from Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock and boycott companies that advertise during their shows?

Answer 3

The sad fact is whenever a white person says anything that can be considered insulting the blacks always jump on it. I am tired of the Media permitting Jackson and Sharpton to run over people's rights and ignoring the racists remarks they make. Why is it OK for them to make statements like Jackson"s reference to NYC a Hyme town and not be put on the carpet for that. Oh that is free speech but Imus was fired for his. Watch out America the Media is pushing the subjugation of the majority by the minority by permitting these abuses.

Answer 4

It doesn't make any difference whether he made these remarks about white girls, black girls, or anyone else. It's not about white or black, it's about who this man represents. He represents the media, and although you don't care what's being said about Black Americans, the media company that Imus represents does.

What you fail to understand is that the media is in the business of making money. They don't care what Black people call one another; they care about sponsors. When one of their employees says something that offends the sponsors, they care about that. Imus is free to use his racial slurs whenever he wants to. But when he does so on the radio station that employs him, he'd better be prepared to pack his bags. Why? Because radio stations need sponsors--Proctor and Gamble, Staples, General Motors; and these sponsors are concerned with SALES. And since the radio station knows that calling Black Americans "nappy headed hoes" is not going to increase SALES, it's more profitable for them to get rid of Don Imus! Wake up, my friend.

Answer 5

properly in basic terms from gazing a number of his shows contained in the previous, I consistently I were given this vibe that guy replaced into racist. the in elementary words reason i replaced into gazing it really is because contained in the militia the position I labored at, the television replaced into consistently tuned to MSNBC contained in the morning and in basic terms from the comments Imus made and what replaced into being suggested on his coach, I felt like this guy had to be racist, yet he did not truly get ambitious consisting of his comments i guess in the previous. I make certain it should be a count number of time before he slipped up. yet yeah he crossed the line. Why ought to you call a set of faculty women persons "nappy head hoes". There are alot of rappers who provide college women persons extra appreciate than that. Rappers call women persons contained in the line whom aren't from now on doing some thing with their lives yet sexing everybody, hoes. Even then, rappers do not call them "nappy head", lol? perhaps fowl Heads.... by technique of how what form of rap song replaced into this Imus guy listening to?

Answer 6

I AGREE.I wonder what would happen if Imus was to hire an attorney for Discrimination?You don't have to be a minority to be discriminated against.They are going to cause this man his livelihood, do they care? I ask you--do they care..N.O..............

Answer 7

I've thought the same thing. Its a double standard that won't allow us to move past racism until its dealt with.
