I guess I'm not as saintly as you. I cannot honestly look myself in the mirror and know that I've never formed an opinion of someone based on race. Because I know I have. . . But then I meet someone, or talk with someone who reminds me that we are all individuals and should be judged accordingly. I thought we all fought against this.
Did anyone see the Rutgers coach today? She was brilliant and classy and really set a great example for handling this whole situation. Rutgers should be very proud!

Saintly? Me? Not even remotely close
I just wasn't raised to believe I could or should judge someone by their skin or their language or the shape of their eyes or the price of their car or what they do for a living* or etc. etc.,etc.
*Lawyers may be an exception, we're still working on THAT one
WRONG. Why are advertisers sponsoring hardcore rap lyrics, where do people think the word 'h.o.e.' came from?
When are we going to stand up to things that promote violence, hatred of laws, police and authority, drug use, degradation of women and races of other people, materialism...
When are we going to go full-bore after the Bush administration? Soon, I hope...

You must have missed the announcement: Sharpton and Imus have been named Co-secretaries of the newly created cabinet level Department of Diversions--Stay Tuned

She certainly handled things with class, some alleged men of God could find a good example there of the concept of forgiveness, something they're apparently unfamiliar with.
Well, the hip hop artists (not ALL of whom use that kind of language) have their Parental Guidance stickers stuck on their CDs, and MTV and BET have the little 14 And Over blurbs which show up on the screen.
Outside of that, it's up to the parents to "stand up" and monitor what little Johnny or Susie are listening to or viewing.
So shouldn't that arguement apply to Imus' show as well? I don't let my kids listen to it, but more importantly, they don't want to listen because it's boring to them
I think the people who are angry on this site are the white folk who have become angry over reverse racism because it isn't reported more often and kept to a minimal. Racism against non-whites is more heavily reported, and these same white folks feel there is an injustice. I think I'm 111% correct. Forgive and Forget. It does wonders.
I'm angry because good charities promoting help for sick kids were denied national TV exposure due to corporate cowardice. They could have fired him on Monday.

so until we get some real men and women with spines we will continue to see our free speech, our freedom
of religion and more taken away by the socialist, euro loving left who want nothing more than to bring this
country to its knees.
Carolina Jack, WTF???
