Here's a transcript.
There are definitely strong racial aspects to it, but I think he's being sexist more than anything else. |
thats pretty much all i was trying to say. maybe you just said it better than i did. maybe imus was targeting only the black girls, i don't know. i thought he was targetting the ENTIRE team, which includes some white girls. thats why i brought up the point about the rutgers press conference. not only did the black girls appear on stage and speak at the podium about how their accomplishments have been pushed to the side and what not but so did the white girls on the team. even if imus was joking around, i still think his comment was 100% sexist, i'm just not convinced his comment was racist.
