[glow=red,2,300]Don Imus? Rediclious [/glow]
I personaly had been watching Imus occasionally in the past 3.. 4 years, and I never liked this individual, his points of view .. his remarks .. very hateful, very angry (for no reason) - I've never understood this shock jock thing, it's entertaining to insult people? it's ok to do that? here in the US.? you get a job on TV or a Radio Network?
long story short, to me he's simply a despicable person, I've noticed him the first time three years ago in November '03, when he was airing the Funeral of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, his comments were: "I don't understand this comotion about this terrorist, hmm.. look at them (referring to the people) .. like animals.. wow.. carrying his rotten body.." etc... etc... and he went on and on and on ...
I mean come on! it doesn't matter what do you think of Arafat or Saddam or whoever.. the person is dead, he was indeed a historical figure, a leader, a president of a freakin' country
wethere you like it or not, so either you have some respect or just shut it and change the channel, Imus was opening his rotten mouth, complaining about Arafat BUT yet he's showed the entire Funeral.
and after all these Arab insults, Jewish insults, Latino insults - at last he reached Afro Americans, it was time to shut him down for real, I actualy caught that comment as it happend two weeks ago, he absolutly deserved what he got, this time he didnt get away with it this time. good ridance.
Imus has a long history of inflammatory remarks. But he crossed the line when he targeted the Rutgers team, some people were like, well Imus's been 30 years in the biz., he's a comedian.. gimme a break.. didn't realize NO talent is a Talent!
he has NO crediblity as Journalist and he's certainly NO entertainer nor comedian for that matter.
Imus didnt get fired for being racist, he got fired for being an idiot.
But i dont want to hear about how sponsors did the right thing. its the White American fear of seeming racially insensitive that forced Imus out. It wasnt Jessie or Sharpton - as they have no credibility beyond drawing million of people to a cause. no, Imus, chalk your firing up to the Banks owners who thought their newly aquired black customers would smell your stench on them and bolt.
It's about respect.
You can tell Imus was torn up about his actions. he cracked in his last broadcast for the Radiothon:
“This may be our last Radiothon, so we need to raise about $100 million"
The rest of the world was so torn up about it that volunteers were getting about 200 more pledges per hour than they did last year, with most callers expressing support for Imus.
200 per hour??
Imus also insulted women, which is something no real man can ever tolerate. i dont know where the rest of you were raised, but my parents raised me to be a respectful openminded man, and real men dont insult females to begin with . we dont. every one of us has a mother daughter or sister.
If someone called my mother, sister or daughter a nappy-headed ho, he'd be in serious truoble, REMEMBER FRENCH/ ALGERIAN SOCCER LEGEND 'ZINEDINE ZIDANE' - been called at the ultimate final of World Championship 2006 during his final game "son of a sleeper" - by italian player Materazzi!!!
Zinedine kicked him right on the spot in front of a billion people
audience.. right on.. that's right!
so while you may object to Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton, you can't defend Imus' behavior.
if you defend Imus, then you defend his behavior, then youre racist, dump and sexist.
The questions you ask and the defeneses you make put your true colors on display. The rap question is dumb. it assumes that all blacks listen to rap. well, they don't, it's typical cliche
AND YES I do object that ugly "N*" word.. and it should be banned from the media period, from the face of HIP HOP,
and YES it's possible! - my personal view, my personal opinion!
the N* word is ugly, degrading and no one should use it.. a brother can call a brother: "BROTHER" , to call him N*... is simply dumb and disrespectful.
