It appears they are parents to MTV and BET, where the whole culture uses words that Imus has fallen victim to.

Kind of hypocritical don’t ya think?

You would think that every Rap artist and Producer who have used such language for profit, while reflecting the culture they helped create, would be fired also.

And yet no one in the MSM has bothered to point this out.

Rappers will never suffer anything that resembles 'punishment' for the culture they have helped create.

Remember [almost] all rappers are minorities, and as minorities, by definition can not be racist.

So despite their influence on the current culture their ENDLESS utterances of garbage lyrics like HOs-BITCHES-ETC-ETC will never be considered in the same league as IMUS's 7 sec rant.

Mr. Johnson who owns/owned BET called into MSNBC tonight to say that if only rappers would make good videos, he’d be glad to not run the trash.

Imus is the scapegoat. They can fire him and huff and puff about how sensitive and caring they are. Yet they continue to make fist fulls of $$ from rap music that is far worse than anything Imus said. Hypocrites indeed...
