Ha. You better stop hiding behind your computer and take the ass beating I'm going to give you for thinking that I am hiding behind my computer and therefore threatening my with an ass kicking.
Oh dear, I've gone cross-eyed.

I edited my comment to include the transcipt.

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.

100% PURE WHOOP ASS

I am going to ignore the basic idiocy of the content of your posts because they are so out of line that any reasonable person, black or white or whatever, would just shake their head and move on.

But I will ask you if you realize how poorly your statements are worded and how difficult they are to read with their incessant cursing, non-sensical elipticals and half sentences? Oh and how about every other word being misspelled? For your info, "alot" is actually A LOT. That's two words there buddy. And have ever you even heard of an apostrophe? I think next time you want to make a logical and sensical post on such an important and sensitive subject you should probably take twice as much time and at least try to put some effort into not sounding like a total dimwit. Then at least through all your stupid yelling, asanine whinning and totally ironic threatening you don't come off as completely ignorant.

I always knew the mods were actually vampires. TMC isn't official until he takes his first victim.

I bet you also wear eyeliner and black fishnets.

Only on Elvira night! That's when we all gather round SGG's house and play charades, only reenacting scenes from Mistress of the Dark movies

That sig is awesome by the way

There was also the comparison to the West Side story thing. They were talking about how the Tennessee girls were cute and Rutgers ones were hard and street bc they had tattoos. The West side story reference was clearly referring to the fact of lightskinned blacks and whites vs. dark skinned blacks and being thugs, etc.

Overall if you understand how slang is interpreted now and you listen to the entire Imus broadcast from that day you can see how it is offensive.

OK, I've stayed away from this thread for the simple fact that this is an extremely sensitive subject, but I have got to say, just browsing, that comment made me laugh out loud!!!!

I really don't understand why people think Sharpton and Jackson represent the entire black community. I mean, do Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell represent the entire white/christian community? Not all agree with their views. These people are opportunists and self-serving. They have their sycophant supporters which by and large don't include the majority of the community.

On a side note, what do you think should happen when police officers shoot an unarmed black man 50 times which has happened not once but twice? How many times has that happened to a white guy? I personally know of someone who is racist and a cop. Obviously that person can't be just.

My point is someone need to speak up, preferably someone respected and credible.
