I’m sure before 04/04/07 most of you didn’t even know about KKKramers new Best Friend aka Don Imus. But i knew about his filth in 2001 after the Williams sister were offered to pose in Playboy, KKKramer's boy aka Imus suggested that Serena and Venus Williams would be better off posing in National Geographic than Playboy. Implying that Serena and Venus are closer to wild animals than women. To me that was the last straw,...anyway, coincidentally on the 39th anniversary of the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Don “Nazi” Imus and his producer, Bernard McGuirk, engaged in the following exchange:
Imus: "That's some rough girls from Rutgers. Man, they got tattoos..."
"Some hardcore hos," McGuirk quipped. "That's some nappy-headed hos there, I'm going to tell you that," Imus added.
I know we live in a world of shock value humor and media commentary.I also know that terms like “civility” have long been missing like Britney Spears underwear’s or her hair lines. But there comes a time when an individual or an institution crosses the line, and that is precisely what Mr. Imus did...Hell he crossed that line so far that where he was standing the line appeared as a dot. And no matter how much he apologizes, proclaims that he is “a good man,” or try’s to tell us how many black or gay friends he has (1st of all if you can count how many black friends you have you are racist like a mo’fucker) what cannot be ignored, nor erased, is the fact that his views are typical of American Klans male who continue to view women, and particularly Black women, as objects to be mocked, scorned, and beaten down, even when they do good, as the Rutgers University women team clearly had done. This is nothing new, unfortunately, America has a long and terrible history dating back to slavery, of disrespecting, degrading, and disregarding Black women. Now yesterday some d-bag was on Fox news trying hard to defend Don “Nazi” Imus comments, he said the hip-hop Community should be thrown off the air too if his boy is fired....lol Ok seriously, I know crack is back, but I didn’t know Fox News supplied it to their news casters. 1st of all hip-hop albums have federal regulated labels on them, soooo... that lil Parental advisory sticker on the CD? Is in fact a warning to all consumers; you are fully aware of what kind of product you are purchasing. And all public radios, play edited version on the song i.e. the Three 6 Mafia song that was heavy on the Radio, well the Hook on the airwaves was “I stay Flyyyyyyy-aaaaaa” now the CD version was “ I stay Hiiiiiii-aaaaaaght”. So you D-bags comparing this old Fart w/ Hip-hop, y’all need to take that & rewind it back.
Like I said there's nothing rare about Mr Imus's vile attacks. This is what he does On a daily basis on his shows. Imus and his studio Klan co-hosts have painted black people as convicts and muggers and worst of all, apes. Not only do they find it funny, they expect everybody else will as well. I even recall that Mr. Imus once referred to renowned Black journalist Gwen Ifill as “the cleaning lady” as she covered the White House. Real talk , he called her the “cleaning lady”..., and this right into the twenty-first century, where millions of Black American women and girls who still feel inadequate. These woman are still battling with identity issues, because of this country’s standard of beauty often does not include their body types, their skin colors, their hair textures...”nappy headed ho’s” Mr. Imus' "DISS’ is not some mere isolated incident. It's part of the American racial sickness that habitually views Black women and girls as unattractive.
Now, is Don Imus the problem by himself? Of course not, which is why I think calls for his dismissal are rooted purely on emotions and is missing the larger issues here. Bigger problem number one is a federal government and a corporate hierarchy that have allowed destructive and despicable images and words regarding women to be transmitted, without any real regulation, for far too long, to the point where someone like Don Imus believes it okay to refer to women as “hos” on a nationally syndicated radio show heard by millions. Bigger problem number two is the American society we’ve become where, for the sake of profit and audience size, personalities, commentators, and pundits are allowed to spew all manner of hateful rhetoric, even as such language unwittingly reinforces negative stereotypes, perpetuates individual and mass bigotry, and wounds the self-esteem of the targeted recipients.
Imagine, for a moment, what those young ladies at Rutgers University must be feeling right about now. They lost the championship on national television, and then, the very next day, they are referred to as “hos” ..again on national television and national radio. These are young women, in the formative stages of their lives, can you imagine how you would feel... You are a teenager, early twenties, at the most, and you have already been referred to as “hos” more then once before you got to College, then you go on a miraculous Run in the NCAA tournament and after that you’re called Ho’s again but this time by a very powerful man with three-decades plus in the media. What do they have to look forward to from us men, regardless of what we do or say we are about, if this is as good as it gets? Sexism, clearly, knows no bounds and takes no prisoners.
Do I believe in freedom of speech? Hell yeah, but ask your self is the juice worth the squeeze? Because you need to know when “pumps” come out, you may have to face the music,...and you better be a good dancer. Do I believe in irresponsible speech, regardless of the context, that could bring serious injury to others? Helllllllllll No, Ignorance is not an excuse, not in our time; with the internet, digital cable & even a black berry phones, your ass owes it to your brain to feed it with correct information. Remember we are entitled to our opinions but not our own facts.
So where do we go from here? Don Imus should be fired. If he is not fired, he should be suspended with out pay for at least six months, not the little two-week vacation he has been given by both CBS and NBC. That’s not even a slap on the wrist, plus they aren’t disclosing if he’s still going to get paid or not. My guess, he will get his check, while he will be in South Beach kicking back,...hell w/ all this snow fall out here, your boy Imus will be kicking back sipping on Mojitos in Miami...in hopes all this blows away. Anyway if he is really suspended Mr. Don “nazi” Imus needs to understand, during that real suspension, that there is a difference between charity and justice. What he does for children with cancer, including those Black ones he keeps mentioning he will see, is charity. Justice means he understands in his bones that his actions and words have got to be consistent, otherwise all that wonderful work he and his wife do are for naught.
And I just want to know, who the hell appointed Al “fuckin” Sharpton as spoke person for the black community? I mean why did Imus go on his show to apologize to him? His ass should have been driving to the RU campus with a significant donation from his own pocket & from his employers (CBS & NBC). We don’t need to here Rev Al Sharpton bitching on all the major stations either. The RU women team has clearly stated they will meet with the Nazi old fart at an Undisclose location on an Undisclosed date. So Al homie back the fuck up. you ain't no Spiderman, ain't nobody needs you as a fuckin' Hero.
Next, CBS and NBC should each immediately hire Women, preferably all Blacks and other women of color as hosts or lead hosts for programming in Mr. Imus long forced absence. And NBC should keep
the show’s original name, but hosted by “The colorful Divas” (we can have Dre as a guest once a week lol). Moreover, Mr. Imus’ termination or suspension should constitute a two strikes you’re out policy regarding such vile remarks going forward for all public radio personalities. In other words, the Federal Communications Commission needs to start doing its job better, on all fronts and in protection of all Americans. On the real If it could come after Janet Jackson and CBS for the Super Bowl for flashy a nice tender, ripe tit ....(ok back on course) I meant to say “wardrobe malfunction,” then it should be monitoring and penalizing all radio speeches, all television images, that can really hurt people in some way. Because last I checked justice needs to be about consistency
And last but not least, all his major advertisers need to send a message by ending their business relationship with the "Imus In The Morning show". So does all these Senators that makes guest Frequent apearnces on that filthy show. Because well all know what they say birds of the same feather flock together. So if it semls like a rat, walks like a rat, then for fuck sakes it’s Rat.
