By the way, once you scrape off the racist topping, Imus called these girls, whom he does not know at all, "whores." |
generally interpreted literally in the sexual sense.

Well they got their wish and should be happy now. Imus was fired from CBS radio, so he's history. (for now) |
embalmed upright for the last 10-15 years, and a ventriloquist did the
voice.
The again, if they did that, the show would actually be funny! <G>

that he was still around. I still have one of his albums "1200
Hamburgers to Go." Maybe it'll be worth some money now. I see that on
Amazon someone's asking $100 for the CD version.

just as the word "whore" implies.

Then, pray tell, dizzy, what does "ho" signify? In my mind and in the
minds of most people,
it's slang for 'whore'. What else is it?

I couldn't believe this most excellent so had to depart the group and go see
for myself on yahoo. Yeah, indeed Les Moonves let him go! (Which would
have been awkward NOT to do, since MSNBC already had canned his simulcast.
I hope the door doesn't hit ol' Don in the ass when he leaves.
As for his future plans, I rather hope that (like keeping a predator 2500
feet from a school) Imus is kept far out of microphone range. Anybody
other than a 500 watt AM station in the hinterlands of Texas would toss his
resume in the shredder.....so I doubt seriously that he'll be back.

cowboy hat is possibly only funny to other oldtimers in cowboy hats. (good
ole boys that is.)

"Jeff Strickland" <crwlr (AT) verizon (DOT) net> wrote in message news:whtTh.5202$%l5.2617 (AT) trnddc05 (DOT) .. I think the black community needs to address its own house before they go banging on the neighbor's door. You're assigning a stereotype to the black community; which is the same thing that Imus did. By the way, once you scrape off the racist topping, Imus called these girls, whom he does not know at all, "whores." That ought to be enough to get him sacked in an ostensibly civilized country. I've forbidden certain radio stations in our house for similar reasons. My wife agrees. One more time ... Imus is gone, and good riddance to him. But, the point isn't Don Imus. The point is the black community is riddled with men that same the exact same thing, and THEY are encouraged to do so while Dom Imus is chastised. I agree that Don put his ass squarely into the wringer, I only wonder why it's a bad thing when he does it but not when everybody else does it. Who encourages it? Young guys with lowered rides and over-amped bass don't speak for every African-American person in the US. You just can't help yourself with that broad brush of yours. I don't really care who encourages it, I want to see guys just like me speaking out against it no matter whom says it. It's disengenous to get outraged at Imus but not the others. If I get a little bit of paint on you, then speak out against the examples I give, don't sit there and defend offensive speech. |
encouraged! Kinda FOS aren't ya?
I'm a white guy, so none of the paint from your broad brush is getting on
me. If the rappers were on mainstream talk radio with their derogatory
language, then you would have a valid point. Otherwise you are comparing
apples and oranges.
