bxbomb Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 while i think Imus should be fired for being boring and irrelevant the past 15 yrs i dont think he should be fired for this and Rev Al needs to find himself a new Sean Bell cuz this is stupidSharpton to meet with Imus on-air By MARCUS FRANKLIN, Associated Press Writer Mon Apr 9, 6:25 AM ETNEW YORK - Even as he scheduled an on-air meeting with radio host Don Imus, the Rev. Al Sharpton said he still wants Imus fired for his racially charged comments about the Rutgers University women's basketball team. Sharpton said Sunday he intends to complain to the Federal Communications Commission about the matter."Somewhere we must draw the line in what is tolerable in mainstream media," he said. "We cannot keep going through offending us and then apologizing and then acting like it never happened. Somewhere we've got to stop this."Sharpton and MSNBC announced that Imus would appear Monday on Sharpton's nationally syndicated program. Meanwhile, the Rev. Jesse Jackson planned a protest in Chicago, and an NAACP official called for Imus' resignation or firing.The broadcaster said Wednesday during his nationally syndicated program that members of the mostly black Rutgers team were "nappy-headed hos."The team, which includes eight black women, had lost the day before in the NCAA women's championship game. Imus was speaking with producer Bernard McGuirk about the game when the exchange began on "Imus in the Morning," which is broadcast to millions of people on more than 70 stations and the MSNBC television network."That's some rough girls from Rutgers," Imus said. "Man, they got tattoos ... .""Some hardcore hos," McGuirk said."That's some nappy-headed hos there, I'm going to tell you that," Imus said.Imus has since apologized, but his mea culpa has not quieted the uproar.Jackson said his RainbowPUSH Coalition planned to protest Monday in Chicago outside the offices of NBC, which owns MSNBC. He said Sunday that protests were being planned across the country."If he has a right to use that platform to insult and degrade, then we have a moral obligation to picket NBC and to protest," Jackson said. "If he can violate us in that platform in the name of free speech, we'll be picketing NBC in the name of free speech."James E. Harris, president of the New Jersey chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, demanded Sunday that Imus "resign or be terminated immediately."Allison Gollust, a spokeswoman for MSNBC, said the network considers Imus' comments "deplorable" and is reviewing the matter.Karen Mateo, a spokeswoman for CBS Radio — Imus' employer and the owner of his New York radio home, WFAN-AM — said the company was "disappointed" in Imus' actions and characterized his comments as "completely inappropriate."Imus, who has not been publicly disciplined, apologized on the air Friday."It was completely inappropriate, and we can understand why people were offended. Our characterization was thoughtless and stupid, and we are sorry," Imus said, according to a transcript on MSNBC's Web site.___ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidoolongo Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Once again, it's not so much the words themselves as the context and thoughts and attitudes that underly them.cf: Which is more racist?"Your work-ethic is so black."or "You are one lazy nigger."

funks0ul Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 so i went and looked at the rutgers athletics page.. to see if they have some nappy hair or not... 2 of the girls are white, so I guess they're exempt from the nappy headed hos... but the other girls had braids, perms, extensions, and weaves.. the coach needed to get her hair done though, it kind of looked a mess...2 of the girls are 6'4.. damn giants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
