"The only black person who bashes other blacks for their retention of low-character traits and ghetto language is Bill Cosby." A BIG Amen. Cosby has done himself proud for standing up and telling his bro's how much they're hurting themselves.
Seems like many of our Black brothers are content to see all their gains go into the toilet. "Afro-Centric" schools, special programs and other "distancing" policies don't endear them to the "mainstream".

Anus, from Anus in the Morning has been deserving something like this for a very long time.
Next to go, Michael Wiener, aka, Savage.

Sid? Now there’s some competition.
I heard Sid was so confident of the outcome that he rented out the bottoms of his shoes for advertising space. :-)
Myself? Retired from boxing. Hands went bad. Referee kept stepping on them.

Correct - plagiarized and fabricated stories for the Boston Globe and he was fired / forced to resign.

he can always go to satellite radio...where FCC regulations and other rules of civility and good taste do not exist.Yet.

Fact is that Imus was about the only person on MSNBC with any kind of a following. MSNBC might just as well close it down now and who will miss them? (If a tree falls in the woods and no one hears it, who cares!)

Bernard and the other guy were the conservative straight men for Imus. And Bernard did exhibit some racism over the years. For Irish. For Blacks. For Catholics. You get it?
Imus was, or at least played, a hateful old bag. Hell, he even looks like an old woman. And make no mistake, Imus IS a LIBERAL.
Imus was a Marine (in the band), but so too were Bernard and the other guy (news reader).

One of the ironies of this whole mess is that the Rutgers womens basketball players have invited Imus to meet with them to discuss the ill treatment they received at his hands. Not a single player, nor the coach, Vivian Stringer, have called for Imus to be fired or to resign. They feel that if Imus meets each player, he will soon learn how blameless the players are, and how not a single one of them was deserving of his derision.You know this is really the insane part. I can't believe anyone who heard this actually thought he was literally speaking about these actual girls. He used them as part of his "joke" but there is no way he was literally referring to anyone of them in a personal sense.

“The womens basketball team at Rutgers will always have as asterisk next to their name, denoting a negatory footnote to their identity.”
That is just BS. Nobody will remember this 6 months from now... they might remember that somebody said something ‘racist’ about somebody else, but which university? which team? nah.
It will make no difference to their lives. Hopefully if they are good kids as this article says, they won’t let it bother them. After all, SOME people call others ‘racist’ all the time - just don’t take it personally, since you know it isn’t true!

Barnicle is a guest on Howard Stern as well, He hoped to work there at one time. These hate spewing radio monkeys started in the same building at close to the same time, Both have racist guest on their show’s , Stern even has a regular guest who is a KKK member and sells his merchandise thru Stern’s show. Stern get’s away with it as He has a Black women as a side kick

XM or Sirius will hire Imus in a second, then Jesse and Al will have something new to boycott. While they're trying to get a merger passed Federal regulators? Not a chance.

It is the reason why the Internet will not be silenced, and more will receive unfiltered information, including video, voice and text.
The old media is dying, the First Ammendment will survive the expedient, corporate reactions, simply to protect revenue while they bow at the altar of political correctness.

I suggest you go to the CDC website and you will find black HIV to be six to seven times that of whites.
To: meg88
I swear if I hear or see one more story about Don Imus I will be sorely tempted to grab a rifle and head for the nearest tall building
