I agree, he did nothing wrong, if they can say it in that so called music and have a laugh, then don't get so fussy and all bent out of shape when someone else does it.

get a grip people.

I just read your comment as old as it may be but let me say this to you.I really don't think you need to downplay

what Don Imus said,It was a disrespectful,degrading comment to the woman of the Rutgers Basketball team.

And as far as our so called music,the media chose to twist it around and say"well the rappers say what he said"

So if the rappers jump off the empire state building does that mean that Imus would too. Imus made those ignorant

comments because that's what he wanted to say,that was from his gut.People need to take resposibility for  what

they say,some of you all need to stop trying to point the finger at someone else whenever you say or do something

ignorant such as what Imus said.

Only the insecure have a problem with what is said! Those with confidence and direction in life never let anything bother them!

It was a disrespectful,degrading comment to the woman

....................................................................................

Yes it was, but w## cares.....he is a s##ck jock and if people found it so disrespectful, you don't tune in to his program. Sticks and Stones.......

There is vocabulary that s##uld be banned from TV or radio, ##wever nappy and ####, IMHO is not that bad.

I'm not insecure at all,I just didn't appreciate the comment he made,It was degrading and disrespectful.Lord knows he don't have room to talk about how anyone looks. 

I care and I could care less what kind of Jock he is.If he were a real man,he wouldn't have made the comment at all.That's my opinion. 

I care and I could care less what kind of Jock he is.If he were a real man,he wouldn't have made the comment at all.That's my opinion. My point was a shock jock  tends to be outrageous, I don't care for them, that is why I don't listen to his program and add to his ratings. Wouldn't this be a better world if only the real men were allowed to speak.

Please don't expect for people such as I mus and the Man from Seinfeld(whatever his name is) to make ignorant and degrading comments about people and no one express their opinion about it.Folks say well they have their freedom of speech,I think that excuse is played out now.There's nothing to justify his ignorance.

I don't really think that Imus and Michael Richards can be compared to one another. Imus made a stupid remark and that is not uncommon for people to do, Richards on the other hand snapped and spewed hatred among an audience that was paying to be entertained. Remarks are made against women everyday, should I let it upset me?

I know, I know, everyone has freedom of speech,that's always the excuse.Also i would like to say that I'm not comparing Richards to imus although what they both did was ignorant.You just can't expect folks to simply sweep what they said under the rug just because of their freedom of speech.The bottom line is whatever way you look at it,it's disrepect and ignorance on their part.

Personally half the people on TV and Radio shouldn't be allowed to talk.

You're exactly right.

It's okay for them to call themselves derogatory names and also call us whites derogatory names (####, white bread etc). No problems w/that right.

but anyone make any remark about them and Al and Jesse (####) fly loose

BTW I refer to ANYONE w/nasty, dirty hair (white, black, hispanic etc) as having nappy hair. It is no longer solely reserved for blacks

My only issue w/Imus is his remarks because they are a female basketball team. Womens's sports have always been treated shabbily and for him to make that remark (IMO) deserved a suspension

Since you addressed your comment to me,i most definitely would like an answer to my question.What do you mean anyone w/nasty dirty hair is considered as having nappy hair,what do you mean by that and what do you mean,it's not just associated with black people anymore.Every since I was old enough to remember,I have seen white,asian and hispanic people with hair that looked nasty and dirty.Do you even know what the word nappy means?
