Sure, though he has been known to make poor remarks throughout his career. That's what talk radio people do for a living.

It seems people don't like freedom of speech.

Is he in jail? No. Freedom of speech just means the government can't do anything to you for your opinions. It does not mean there are no consequences from non-government entities/people.

Exactly. Private industry can do whatever they want in that regard, they don't have to give you freedom of speech at your work.

:laugh:

/me reads 3 sentences, *brain asplodes*

he's right, not in the same league. rappers are 100x worse.

you know full well they aren't singing about a bunch of girls in the "'hood that ain't doing sh--, that's trying to get a n---a for his money."

and while we're at it, lets make racist comments racist for everyone. none of this double standard ******. if you don't like the fvckin word, n---a, then don't say it - EVER.

Words aren't racist. People are racist. A white guy calling black girls "nappy heads" is a racist. Rapping about hos has nothing to do with racism.

Its not a violation of free speech to get fired for what you say. I don't think that Imus should have been fired however its not like his first amendment rights were violated.

there were white women on the team too. he didn't say so and so black chick has nappy hair...

he wasn't calling them nappy heads. he said they had nappy heads...saying someone has nappy hair is not racist.

dude, he was OBVIOUSLY talking about the black girls on the team... imus calls black people apes on his show, for crying out loud...

i'm surprised he's been on the air 15 years and of all the racist things he's said, THIS is what gets him in trouble. yeah, it's obviously a stupid thing to say, but it's NOTHING compared to some of the other stuff i heard him say

He said nothing about black girls. He talked about the entire team, which as far as I've heard, contains both white and black girls.

So my wife is racist when she called her brother nappy-headed?


Damn. I'm gonna have to go have a talk with her.

Exactly. I tell my daughter to brush her nappy head in the morning before school. Obviously, this is our private joke about keeping the black culture down. Sometimes we even sieg heil each other and goose-step around the living room when I say it. :roll:

You guys all miss the point. Imus messed up because he didnt do like howard stern did. Imus would be perfectly okay if he had only added a black woman to his show. You see as long as you have a black cohost like Howard the genious that figured that out you can bash and slander every other race as long as you do it with equanimity of course with one acception since howard is jewish he can bash the jews harder.

Yes, I do believe if Imus had a black woman on his crew he would not be in the news right now. You would need two black men to get the same immunity a single black woman gives. Don't ask my how or what or where or when but it just seems to be the way of things just like a white man using the word (niggler, lol) will get his azz beat.

IMUS show is all old white guys, christians.

Howard is White Jew that looks jewish, African American woman, and a lot of different people mixed in.

Apparently you don't know the history of the word, while Imus does. Without a doubt he was referring to the black girls.

Definitions from UD:

one of African desent who has tightly coiled unkept hair; one with locks of hair that is tightly curled that is unwashed and uncombed


Tightly coiled / curled unaltered hair. Coiled hair in its natural state

as found on people of African descent who do not chemically alter their hair texture.

And they're brother and sister. It's obviously playful. Good ol' boys will make fun of each others' red necks and mullets and there's nothing wrong with that either.

In the other thread, someone said that Imus calls black people gorillas too. How is he not racist?
