I kind of agree with him.

Granted, I've despised Imus for quite a long time, but I think my uncle had a point.

IMO I think the only reason he got yanked was because the advertisers pulled out. It was merely a business decision, so don't give MS NBC any credit for being "noble" or anything to that cause.

Imus is and always has been a bastard... so I don't think that's any news.

I never heard Christ Rocks say "Long nosed Jewish bitch" or "San Fag-cisco home of the fags."

Is Christ Rocks Jesus' stand-up comedian brother? Just kidding, but did Imus say those things?

No but he did call a group of black girls "Nappy Head Hos" which is as much of an insult IMO.

just to play devil's advocate rappers and comedians definitely refer to black women as hos and bitches.

But Snoop said that when he says it, he is refering to little hood rats who are just out there triying to get a man for his money. Imus made the comments about a group of College educated women that were doing things with their lives. And that is the difference. In his opinion.

I know and I have never supported what Imus said, I am just saying there is a double standard out there.

Lets get this straight, comedians and rappers refer to all women who do ho'ish things hos regardless of race. I can't recall ever hearing them utter "...Black Ho." Just because the rapper is black and he calls women hos doesn't mean he is talking about black women.

Oh I know, but along with racism Don Imus made a sexist statement which is an issue.

I think the issue is a combination of sexism and racism which needs to be addressed. Like I said I am playing devil's advocate. I dont support what he said, but if you read my last post which was a response to 100% Whoopass; I think that summarizes my position well.
