I demand that this racist biatch apologize, publically ... To whom, I am not sure, because there is no white Al Sharpton.
Oh, yes ... She should also have to apologize at least 800 times, and be fired.0 -

Hey, if people want to sit there and listen to ignorant remarks coming from an ignorant person, go ahead and start up the circle jerk.
Yeah, but isn't that the whole problem, here?
White people for the most part shrug the racist comments from non-whites and identify it for the hate and ignorance it really is; and they stop listening. I've done it for years. I ignore racist stupidity and continue along with my day and my life.
But some black people and other non-whites are clinging, clutching and nurturing it all, so as to make a huge drama and issue over it. All the while claiming entitlement in their part of making these kind of comments.0 -

Its also a known fact that black people have nappy hair ... Yet saying one is deemed so much worse than the other.0 -

Agreed, dude. This society we live in has no concept of moderation or balance when it comes to racial issues. We are expected to take all the lumps.0 -

you fight the battle on the battlegrounds you are attacked. black celebrities use the same words as imus did. imus was punished because he was white. if sharpton and jackson want to fight the battle here; so be it.0 -

What's your point? You know as well as I do that it wasn't the word "hos" that got Imus in so much trouble.0 -

This "battle" analogy is so ridiculous, I'm not sure where to begin. It's like suggesting that anti-war groups should go to war with someone "to prove a point". It makes no sense.
If you're better than they are, keep being better. And when they attack your words and demand an apology, kindly tell them that you respect their right to say whatever demeaning thing about you they choose, but that you have nothing to apologize for. And see who ends up winning the culture war there.0 -

Imus' appeasements are Imus' alone, as are Oprah's, as are yours. He said he was sorry, told the public he thought his career was over. What more is there to say? This "punishment" you talk about in defense of Imus is accepted by Imus. What's the problem?

RainDog wrote:My point is he called them sluts who take money for sex and have hair that's difficult to manage. No, I don't think it's just the "nappy headed" part that counts.
Then why wasn't the other guy who called them "hos" also taken to task? Imus didn't even start the use of that word, it was some other guy. Imus was the one that made it racial by referring to the nappy hair. "Hos" isn't a racial slur. What, you can't have a white ho?0 -
RainDog wrote:When people beat around the bush, eventually what they're looking for comes running out.
LOL, that appears to be a bush of your own making. Speaking for myself, I can't remember that last time I used the word. Even when I was a kid, I didn't use that word.
But then again, maybe I have a subconscience motive, since my bloodline and family tree had two black africans enter the bloodline, a long, long time ago.0 -
Just to clarify, there are "Ho's" of every color, race, creed, religion and gender.
I would be a ho, but I'm too busy:D:D0 -

My take on the problem is simply that one person can make public racial remarks and have his career ruined, while another can do basically the same thing and it gets laughed off. Even a hardcore social rights activist has to see the inconsistency here as a problem.
I also think Oprah is a ho. But that's that my bias shining through. I don't like most talk show hosts.0 -

my black neighbour told me this joke.
a white dude; a frenchman; and a black man were drinking in a bar. the bartender asked what they did to drive their wives crazy after sex. the white man said he tickled her hairs and she giggled uncontrolably. the frenchman said he drank champagne from her belly and it drove her wild. the black man said i wipes my dick in the drapes; it drives her f'n nuts.
why can he tell that joke in public with acceptance yet i can't?0
