Don Imus : Lesson Learned
Friday, Apr. 13th, 2007
Don Imus made some very objectionable comments, as everyone on Earth knows at this point. He insulted a group of athletes and offended an entire race of people. But there is something we need to keep in perspective. Don Imus is a human being. Don Imus is not a racist. He has run charities and contributed millions to help others. He is not perfect. And neither is anyone else. Let's be honest about that.
Al Sharpton is a sick individual. Don Imus apologized over and over what he said. His apologies were heartfelt and meaningful. Imus went on Sharpton's radio program in an attempt to give an explanation and to apologize. Was there any acceptance of that apology? No.
Al Sharpton claims to be a Man of God...a preacher. What did Christ say on the Cross as he died? "Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do." Christ didn't ask for vengeance and the destruction of his killers. He asked for their forgiveness and redemption. What is Al Sharpton teaching us in this respect? Sharpton teaches us that asking for forgiveness from someone like himself is useless. Apologizing is only the beginning of humilation, soon leading to personal destruction. Going on Al Sharpton's radio show was a big mistake. All it did was get Sharpton what he really wanted: Publicity.
Don Imus also teaches us that if you are a white male, you can't use the same racist terms people that black culture uses every day. Rap music is based on the "pimps and hos" culture prevalent in modern black society, as well as the violence that plagues inner cities. Guns are glorified as "gats". Women are potrayed as whores who should accept their positions in life (bent over). But who speaks against these forces of evil in black culture? Bill Cosby is the only one I can think of who honestly fights this subversive element. The rest (like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton) make half-hearted attempts to claim to be against the debauchery that permeates young black people in this country...and only to sway people who call them out when they hypocritically attack white people.
While watching CNN last night, I noted that a liberal had a solution for how Don Imus could gain forgiveness. Keep in mind that at that time, Imus had already been fired from MSNBC and CBS, thereby leaving him with no job. This liberal stated, "Maybe he could start another foundation and contribute money to charities he hasn't contributed to in the past?" So they have taken his livelihood away from him, ignored any good he has ever done for children, the sick, and soldiers returning from war among others....and this liberals answer is to make Imus cut them a check? This tells me that among liberals, the only way to gain forgiveness is to pay up.
Hillary Clinton is supposedly riding the anti-Imus bandwagon and will be speaking at Rutgers University on Monday - Apr. 16th. She wrote an email condemning Imus and invited women's groups to Rutgers to hear her diatribe. Oh, how high and mighty Hillary Clinton is. After Imus has been fired from his two jobs, asked for forgiveness and received it from the Rutgers University women's basketball team....Hillary Clinton will dig into Imus even more.
Remember.....forgiveness to a liberal is never complete until you are dead. Lesson Learned: Don't bother apologizing.

Yeah, he is. And he better find a way to keep his charities running if he wants to continue to live in the lifestyle to which he has become accustomed.
Which makes it particularly funny that the team accepted Imus's apology today. Apparently Hillary will be the only 'offended' one there.
Sharpton and Jackson have no power beyond that which granted to them by the liberal media. If they were ignored, or had their histories repeated in every story about them, they would fade away. Now that they are targeting the MSM, watch for the nature of their coverage to change.

"Ahh don't feel no ways tar'd."
Most married people have the wedding ring hand on top in portraits.
“I shudder to think of what Hillary is going to say at Rutgers on Monday”
Waaasssuuup? I am a Hard Core Nappy Headed Ho, and you know what I’m talkin’ ‘bout!
Is she going to use her Hardtimes Mississippi accent?
No, She’ll be speaking Ebonics...I’m gonna be in trouble for that!
Exactly.
He was destined to be fired but at least he would have gone out with some self respect.
Groveling and ass kissing is the liberal way and Imus is a liberal.
I think even less of Imus for doing it, if that's possible.
How soon before there is an episode of South Park on this?
Good idea but he should really buy "racial offsets." It measn he gets to say improper racial slurs and can "buy" his was to salvation.
In fact, he could emulate Gore and increase his racial slurs by just buying even more "racial offsets."
Works for the environment; why not for racism?!?
Lesson learned? The lesson is if you want sponsors to support you, you don’t degrade, belittle or make fun of innocent young minority ladies who’ve overcome huge odds to get to a national collegiate championship game. All Jesse and Al have to do is lay in wait for the next one on their list. Imus has now paid to re-up their tenure.
Don Imus called someone a nappy-headed ho.
Al Sharpton is a nappy-headed ho.
