Onehandpass - its like the Chris Rock says his thing on Comedy shows like HBO specials..which have the US don't have and proable won't watch ..as for the Professor..[b]NO ONE watch C-SPAN to care what was said over there..IMUS is a synicated show so its viewed and heard by Millions in the US.. so the big fuss is justified..as for the words he said not that bad..is totally wrong..[/B]
when your in the spotlight of the Media you have to choose the words you use wisely..and he knew better..But he thought it was funny ..the Rutgers girls did not..and thats who matter..
as for comedians..its their life and work to make people laugh and they talk about what they now..you don't have to goto any of their shows..and you wont hear no crap like that if they had a synicated show ..its a line that you can cross when in the eye of the public..
and if you think that was a minor comment heard by millions then you live in denial that racism exist....welcome to the real world...
Desert Ease- it is havin a effect on Music..because they are lookin at all the words and songs that rappers/Artist use to degrade women and race..
Interesting that you should say that. C-Span is a network for POLITIANS, LAWMAKERS, POLITICAL FIGURES, the Same political figures who are going after Imus.
I understand racism is well alive, but WHY must everything go into a black and white thing? Youve got whites calling other whites cracka's and blacks calling other blacks niggas, What the fuck man if that isnt racism i dont know what is.
Fact is, people want to pick on one guy for a minor comment, while there are FAR FAR FAR worse comments coming from peoples pie holes. But what do people say about that? NOTHING. Fact is, im sure 95% of this thread, hell this board, doesnt listen to imus, why? Because what he talks about wouldnt interest you, but now that he called a majority black basketball team a bunch of nappy headed ho's, All hell breaks loose!
Why is it ok for a black person to call another black person a nigga? Why is it ok for a white person to call another white person a cracker? I mean if a black can say it about another black, or vice versa, WHY cant a white say it about a black or vice versa? Because my great great great great great great grandfather might have harmed your great great great great great grandfather? PULEASE..
In this day in age, its all about money as one person in this thread said, its nothing more than $$$$$$$$$$ It doesnt matter what you say, what you do, who you piss off, its nothing more than a money game, nothing more, nothing less.
Jesus i hope i didnt piss anyone off on this one.. LOL Really, no offense, just things i hear on a daily basis from my front porch.
