Sigh. As much as I abhor violence, there are times, like this one with I-Moose, when I think some folks just need a good whack upside their head. It's appalling to think that this bozo might still be back on the air in short order.

I think a face-to-face will be beneficial, at least to compare hairstyles of the radiohead and the so-called "nappy headed hos." I think in this scenerio, the women of the Rutgers basketball team will win hands down. Check out today's post at http://www.DameNation.blogspot.com

Well, I certainly don't care for shock jocks or radio personalities. I don't know who cares enough to pay attention to Imus but apparently enough to have a syndicated radio show and a TV spot. While I do think the comment was pretty racist and way out of line, I don't think anyone would care if it was said by a black person- i.e. a comedian. You don't hear about white people protesting over black comedians racist jokes. White people are not allowed to make racial jokes in American society. It's a double standard. I am not defending what Imus said. However, I think market demand, listenership and sponsors will ultimately determine the fate of this fool. It's a bad thing to say, a horrible stereotype but we would not be having this discussion if the comment was made by a black person.

Don Imus doesn't deserve a face to face, with the young women he insulted.But I do think, that he deserves to have his mouth washed out with Palmolive!

Let me see if I've got this right. A white trash radio host can't say the same thing a black trash rapper can say? Oh, I forgot.. The black trash rappers are areTEEZs. Perhaps if blacks demanded more respect from their own I'd be more sympathetic.

Hip-hop's alleged culture is now over 30 years old. And I grew up with "you can't trust anybody over 30." Not even me. Like it or not, elements and aspects of hiphop have insinuated themselves throughout the culture. All media has contributed or as I like to say "is at fault". "In your face" has replaced former definitions of manners and decorum, and hiphop's snidely illiterate, mushmouthed baby talking has crept in everywhere. After 30 years, you know hiphop's style and influence has reached a saturation-point when Don Imus employs its slang. Nothing less and nothing more. And child, you know hypocrisy has reached a new threshold (or nadir) when everybody shits themselves over his having done so. Meanwhile, GLBT folk are still everyone else's targets, including Americans of African ancestry. When Al Sharpton apologizes for all of those "faggots" "nancy boys" "batty boys" and other slimy slurs that "his people" have been directing against gay men and lesbian women since time imemorial, then, maybe, I shall give a good God Damn about what Don Imus says about some group of women who run around with other women throwing an inflated sphere into a netted circle. Honestly, what's it going to take to drop the subject? "Imus swingin' from a pop'lar tree"?

Imus is an [deleted by moderator] and this comment is offensive, no doubt. But what I find really interesting is that everybody has focused on the racial slur and nobody even cares that "ho" is a sexist, ignorant affront to women in general, regardless of ethnicity. Kind of shows to me that sexism is so ingrained in this country's heart, mind and overall culture that it will never go away. It's the last form of virtually universally accepted discrimination in the good ol' USA.

Wendy, Sound point. I also think the racial charge in this is irrevocably tied up in the sexist charge --black women as dirty, sexual beings. The Duke rape case brings up this issue as well, guilty or not, the white men were objectifying black women sexually and treating them like trash.

It is interesting that some so eagerly compare Imus comments to the low-life lyrics of gansta rap. Why? Do you really think all or the majority of African-American women embrace the derogatory lyrics of gansta rap? AND, because gansta rap exist, it must be ok to slander black women at will.

Imus called hard-working college students hos!! From a parent's perspective, they are still dependents . . . at least till they turn 24 as long as they are a full-time student.

I ask any of you closet racist and Pretend Progressives, is it ok for a host of a quasi news show to call your child a ho? And certainly, Imus show wasn't considered comedy . . . so you can't go there with the comedy comparison either.

At least gansta rappers do not pretend to be anything other than what they are. I can't say the same for Imus.

To all Pretend Progressives, get a grip and be real . . . your secret side is showing.
