I know this doesn't deserve its own thread, and I know its thoroughly discussed. But I'm fucking pissed- look at my post count... I'm not a newbie, I have zero interest in bringing attention to myself-
Anyhow-
This is complete bullshit. Opie and Anthony and even our beloved Ron and Fez, say racially charged comments on a near daily basis. There is no outcry because, frankly, well... no one is really listening.
An ill advised comment on a very slow news week (though how any week can be slow with a war raging is beyond me, but hey) by Don Imus AND crew (don't forget) leads to this nonsense?? The man was sincerely apologetic, and is crucified? By (get this) a KNOWN racist in Al Sharpton?? (if you need proof I'll pm you) A man who has done so much for children of any race, creed or religion, is persecuted, for what? a fucking joke?
Fuck You. And if this is what we have come to, well... its a very sad day.
Finally...
Yes.. I do believe Imus was wrong. Should he have apologized for what he said? Yes, if he was truly sorry, which he appeared to be. Should he be suspended or fired? Suspension is rough, but it is a business, I understand.. Anything further is simply appeasement.
