Prolly doin ho stuff cuz there you ho again
Its a ho wide world, that we livin in

real racismApr 12th, 2007 - 13:40:55

to assume that this is racist just because a white person said it is racist itself. both sharpton and jesse have a history and pattern of racist non forgiving christian behavior. please do something about the double standard, tupacs another one, listen to the lyrics on makavelli...the first to claim racism is possibly a racist for assuming racism just because one is another race.

I have just deleted MSNBC from the remotes in our home. If MSNBC and their sponsors believe so strongly that this is a racial issue, then now is the time for them to step up. Now is the time for MSNBC to ask the sponsors that dropped IMUS to back a morning talk show with Sharpton and Jackson! The employees of MSNBC should start updating their resumes. Without IMUS - revenues will fall and payroll will be cut!

so called 'white' hereApr 12th, 2007 - 14:23:05

for 'Sam' here:

you say that we 'so-called whites' (last time I looked I AM white, not so-called anything thanks) have no idea what it's like for blacks who 'perceives injustice on a daily and recurrent basis'????

Give me a break!

Try being white and poor or middle class dude! Seems to me that blacks and Hispanics and every other race in America have a VOICE and LOUD proponents as evidenced by this Imus mess, but do you see ANYONE standing up for or loudly screaming for 'equality' for white people?

We're just as discriminated against and 'repressed' as blacks, browns or anyone else!

Particularly under this idiotic evil administration of Bush/Cheney and the elites!

Only difference is that WHITE people do not have a loud clammoring of 'voices' like the others do. There's no NAACP, no ACLU although the first word in THEIR name is AMERICAN which should mean ALL of us regardless of what color we are as LONG as we are Americans (not illegal anything BTW) and no groups that scream, yell, march and chant on OUR behalf!

If you think that blacks are the only race discriminated against in the U.S. then YOU are truly color blind friend!

This country hates ALL of us UNLESS we're billionaires at least this so-called 'government' of ours does.

At least blacks and even ILLEGAL NON-AMERICANS have a 'voice'. Try being poor and white dude!

And by the way, for the other person that said most offensive hip-hop and rap music is purchased by whites? Not by me or anyone else I know friend.

NO FEMALE regardless of her race should be abused in ANY way, verbally, physically, mentally, emotionally...EVER! But in this 'culture' proliferated by filthy lyrics, movies, videos and apparently found to be 'cool' by ANYONE (and again, I don't care if it's by whites, blacks, browns, yellows, pink or green or polka dotted idiots who feel the need to call women and young ladies and girls filthy names, it's WRONG) it's supposidly just fine to do so and THAT is what needs to be addressed across the board

The people behind this offensive against IMUS have a larger agenda than supporting and defending these young ladies from Rutgers.

I'll bet Brother Al is working as we speak on a tv package deal for HIMSELF on MSNBC and since he, like Jesse Jackson are ALWAYS on call ASAP as soon as possible whenever there's anything they can turn from a molehill into a mountain, this is what THEY do...inflame passions and stir up racial hatred while claiming they do things for 'healing' and 'peace'. Wherever those two go, trouble usually follows, but apparently THAT is ok.

And the other networks? CNN and FOX have almost totally shut up today about IMUS. WHY? Got what THEY wanted. Him and his show off the air in the mornings so perhaps some of HIS former viewers will actually watch that trash THEY put on as 'morning shows'. Not this viewer! No IMUS? No viewing period.

Bush & Cheney should be happy too. I'm sure they did everything they could to fan the flames Al and company were fanning because IMUS took shots at them too AND he was the only one on tv other than Bill Mahr who had the guts TO speak the TRUTH about those two so they're both extremely happy I'm quite sure, that he's off the air.

This was NEVER about the young ladies of Rutgers, not really. It's about the AGENDAS of the people screaming before cameras and behind the scenes.

As someone else here said, these fine young women, both white and black on that team, need NO ONE to show 'outrage' (most of which is mock outrage period) on their behalf. They are quite capable of dealing with IMUS and his remarks on their own and that is how it SHOULD have been period...between him and THEM.

Instead, these people (forefront and behind the scenes) turned this into WWIII (which also, note how much MORE airtime this incident got than the War, the fact that they're extending soldiers' tours and even God forbid...Anna N's baby's daddy!)and the girls' team got lost in all this mess. It wasn't about THEM, it was about other people who wanted the spotlight and to stir up trouble period. It played into the agendas of other networks to eliminate IMUS as competition AND as way for his critics to oust him. WRONG WRONG WRONG! The man deserves better and so do those young ladies he offended. It should have been THEM sitting down with IMUS like both sides wanted and the rest of the world and country should have been kept out of it.

As far as we whites not knowing what it feels like to be 'discriminated' against and suffer abuse 'daily' though? Give us a break! We HAVE no voice to work on OUR behalf. If those girls had all been white and remarks made, there would have been NO ONE other than their families and friends who would have cared or stood up and said one word on THEIR behalf. THAT is the truth about America today.

Yahooo! Self-righteous black-racist hypocrites Sharpton & Jackson have succeeded in kicking the I-Man off both TV & radio! Bwahahahahahaha! Next: I-Man's no-blacks-allowed charity ranch for sick kids! And if anyone thinks the I-Man's 'apology' was sincere, have I ever got some ocean-front property in the middle of Kansas to sell you! Cheap!

Sharpton and Jackson have succeeded in getting Imus off TV and terrestrial radio. I guess it's time to buy satellite! I will listen to Imus on Sirius!

If Sharpton and Jackson want another cause for African-Americans look at USA Today for April 12, page 5D. The SONY ad certainly makes the African-Americans in the photo look lame, foolish, and even a little kinky. Two adults bathing a 21 year old man in a kitchen sink! Maybe there is no outrage since it's a Japanese company and these are African-Japanese.

Note to Obama - if you share the values of Jackson and Sharpton - IMUS is my write in candidate for President!
