Imus is just another example of what happens to white people who make the mistake of offending the black folks.

Imus was a liberal and definitely has nothing against black people. In fact i am sure heb would lean over backwards to be helpful to most black organisations.
Howard Cosell who was another white man that was tossed aside because of blacks being offended was a great fan of black sports figures. He helped make Cassious Clay a personality, helped hiom become famous and always pushed black sports figures as being great. Yet they tossed all Howards good works aside and attacked him for a small offhand remark.

Imus was making what he thought was a joke,.But he made it about the wrong race. had he made it about whites ,polish , irish most any other race or sect he would have gotten away.
No he stepped in the dog doo that is black offense.
So he’s gone and we wonder who will be next.

One thing is certain the ones who need to be taken to task for this Al & Jesse wont be bothered. They will go on race baiting and not only allowed to get away with it , they will be praised for it.

Imus used common street vernacular. So common that a white guy in his 70’s was familiar with it. Problem is, he was not licensed by blacks to use “their words” and paid a hefty price.

Your assumption that the problem was that the women were “black” and they (”blacks”) are a protected class in the country. They can do no wrong. Just look at the Duke case. The media doesn't even mention their color if they are criminals caught in the act. The same goes for homos!

I agree with what you said, about Imus just doing what he does all the time on his radio show. But he stepped on someones toes, and he got busted.

This is the real issue.

Not many in the print/TV media, including Fox have pointed this out.
