what the fuck is jesse jacksons deal? like south park said he is not the emporer of all black people so why does he get involved in every time a white person says something racially insensitive?

also i just want to show what imus said i found it really offensive but hilarious at the same time. i dont really think its worth losing his show over though.

heres the article

http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/04/08/imus.ap/index.html?eref=rss_topstories

your thought?

Who's threatening to cancel his show?

He's said much much much worse shit over the years and he's been fine because he's the I man.

Note* I know the critics want him to, but I'm curious to see if there have been actual talks on the matter, besides the condemnations.

Ya I read it, but his ratings are so high that he'd never get fired for that (and the premise of his show is to say what he wants), but I'm curious to know if you've heard of the network actually talking of his resignation, beyond the condemnation. As I said before, he's said much worse shit and has been condemned many times, but he's never been fired.

imus is a good guy, his comment was not racist, what kramer said was racist. what mel gibson said was racist. jackson and sharpton are more racist then imus this whole fucking issue is bullshit asking for his job is absurd. o reilly, geraldo,john gibson,hannity,limbaugh,savage all have been much more hateful .

This is the best post so far to sum up Imus. He used to be fairly interesting, but then he started speaking his mind and it all went downhill from there. All he does is criticize people for actually trying to get something done, while never suggesting how things should be done. He wouldn't be famous if it weren't for his neverlandesque ranch.

NBC: The status of our continuing relationship with Don Imus will depend on whether he lives up to his commitment to altering the discourse of his program.

Imus didn't say anything bad about black people, he said bad things about the Rutgers team who happened to be mostly black.

This is all ridiculous, theres much worse things in the world to worry about and more worse media things. Fuck al sharpton and jesse jackson

I disagree. I still enjoy listening to his random ass show. Every day I can listen and, without fail, go "phhh what the fuck? hahah."

things like this are why black people will never get ahead in life, always going back and playing the damn race card.

Thank you. You really made a good impression. You sound sooooo intelligent. Tell me, do you go to Stanford? Oxford? Harvard? You may be the next president of the United States and you're country would be so proud of you.


NOT!

The people aren't ready because they think our emotions get in the way, PMS is a disease that will spread like wildfire, and we are cold...cold as ice.
Me...I'm just cold-, cold-, cold-hearted.

(i'm not really cold-hearted. i was kidding.)

The people just aren't ready. Just like we aren't ready for a black president.

imus should lose his show because he sucks, not because he called them nappy haired ho's. imus is living of the reputation of a psuedo-intellectual shock jock, which is just as much of an oxymoron as jumbo shrimp or virgin soritiy girl. he is always very careful to never offer cognant opinions on any topic that have not already been stated by someone else. he is like the carlos mencia of dj's, biting off of existing ideas to make a buck. i've listened to him before this fiasco, and hated him for the same reasons, so don't think this is a newfound bias. i just think he is ovverated, and he looks like ted nugent if ted nugent was a kitty-raping ball sucker.

Hey shithead, the ranch is for kids with cancer. You're right its neverlandesque in the fact that the kids wont grow up, because they are going to die before they get a chance to. Imus actually does worthwhile things with his money/time. I wish I could say the same for sharpton or jackson, both of whom are bootleg MLK's.

he'd probably get a job pretty easily after all this talk about him on either XM or Sirius if he gets the cut. Probably would be XM as Sirius has Howard.
