I knew it was coming, as soon as MSNBC said Goodbye, it was only a matter of time before CBS did the same. I wonder if he will still meet with the Rutgers team since he has been fired

His true feelings came out. He hates black people. He also stated that they looked like jigaboos from a Spike Lee movie. He wouldn't have said that if they were all white basketball women players. They would have been the blond blue-eyed beauties of the world.

But he complimented the Black players on Tennesse. All he did was compare the looks of those players on Both teams and he basically was saying Rutgers players were UGLY and Tennessee was pretty. He could have said it a different way but that's what he was saying.

His comments were stupid and idiotic. Unfortunatly, nothing will happen to him, because as others have mentioned above, he's way past his prime and nobody gives a crap about him anymore.

Still, after all the years he's been in the business, he would have learned by now when to keep his mouth shut.

I think it's a dame shame that nothing will happen. No rehab for him? ...He's supposed to be going on Al Sharpton's show to apologize. He can keep that mess to himself.

Then they talked about the wrong movie. :rolleyes: It was School Daze.

If fat-ass Rosie ONutjob gets a pass for all of the stupid and racist $ h i t she says why shouldn't Imus??? You see Sharpton and Jackson raising hell about this but could care less if Rosie makes fun of Oriental people. I guess it's only racism if it's your race.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

FYI, Asian-American activists were all up in Rosie's azz for what she said. Hence, the reason why she apologized. There were tons of bloggers upset and a video response occured from a spoken word artist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJCkHu3trKc&mode=related&search=

She damn sure didn't catch all the heat that Imus is. Selective activism, I guess. And I didn't see her getting suspended from her job for it.

I have a question. Why is there no uproar from Al Sharpton and "the others" when it comes to women being called derogatory names by rappers in the music industry? Why are there no boycotts? I want to know.

Don Imus even mentioned this when he gave his on-air apology, but I noticed, that part of his statement was nicely looked over...more like IGNORED.

I agree with you 100% :nod: I listen to his radio show daily, and Al continues to ignore that question.

Because it's mainly other blacks that are saying it. And Sharpton only wants to stick it to "the man"!! Not "the bratha's".:rolleyes:

This whole uproar over this is a joke. Sharpton and Jackson jumped on this just to show people that they think they still have some type of power. Imus should have done what Ann Coulter did. She never apologized for what she said about Edwards and told her side of what she meant. That story went away fairly quickly. But Imus is making the rounds on every show and it keeps dragging on.

Statement from NBC News: "Effective immediately, MSNBC will no longer simulcast the "Imus in the Morning" radio program. This decision comes as a result of an ongoing review process, which initially included the announcement of a suspension. It also takes into account many conversations with our own employees. What matters to us most is that the men and women of NBC Universal have confidence in the values we have set for this company. This is the only decision that makes that possible. Once again, we apologize to the women of the Rutgers basketball team and to our viewers. We deeply regret the pain this incident has caused."

She is a woman who accused a cop of rape and Al Sharpton made it into a three ring circus. The man's reputation was destroyed and then she admitted it was all a lie. Sharpton never apologized to the man or his family.
