Re: OT: Apology Does Little to Halt Calls for Imus Dismissal

[Guest guest]

I say someone needs to pursue criminal charges against Sharpton for

the Tawana Brawley incident for intentionally creating a hate crime

against white people by fabricating a rape and feces snearing

incident that turned out to be a hoax.

Sharpton and are in the business of selling racism

dispensations / protection. What Al is likely waiting for is a hefty

donation from Imus to one of his non-profits and then he'll drop his

call for a resignation. Imus is syndicated. He has no boss, just

contractual relationships. The minute his current syndicator drops

him, should they do so, another will be there to pick him up. Or he

could go satillite radio ala Stern (not the one once doing

).

If the bruhaha doesn't die down in a few days or two, Imus would need

to line up a few black celebrities to come to his defense, or payoff

Al, or both.

I always thought everyone was fair game for Imus anyway(not kids, of

course). In the past - he hasn't exactly been discriminating with who

he criticizes and uses his unique style with. Seems like there's a lot

more to this story that we aren't privy to - there usually is.

I'm not condoning Imus for what he supposedly said if he said it with

ill intent, but somethings not right here. Sharpton and have

definitely proven to be opportunists. I dated for many years and

almost married an older very professional black man who pulled himself

up by his own bootstraps- and he constantly reiterated how blacks can

be their own worst enemies. And, I'm not trying to start a race war

here, but the very same thing could be said for women sometimes being

their own worst enemies, and many other subgroups of people.

Yeah, I think someone's looking for money to quell the " pain " .

I’m just sad because someone who fights so hard for our cause is feeling a lot of pressure and stress.

I don’t freak out at the exact words someone says- I look at the meaning behind it and their actions.

Everyone says something stupid once in a while. Don said he was sorry- people need to get over it.

I think it’s just ANOTHER thing to distract people from the fact that we are at war and people are dying-

or that New Orleans has not be rebuilt- or that autism is an epidemic.

When will Al Sharpten complain to the Black Rap Music industry about the lyrics that say exactly what Imus (unfortunatly thought a white man could get away with repeating...), wonder where his reference came from? Sauce for the goose ain't sauce for the gander...ng

Two wrongs don't make a right department. Sharpton's hypocrisy

doesn't give Imus a pass.

Absolutely.

Just keeping the context real.

Re: OT: Apology Does Little to Halt Calls forImus Dismissal>

[Guest guest]

Imus has pleaded guilty, apologized profusely and accepted his

punishment and promised to reform. He has confessed his sins.

I think he can be rehabilitated. And his good works count hugely.

Especially his good works for our kids.

Clarence Page's " autism ranch " remark is insensitive and verges on the

offensive. Why not call for Clarence Page's resignation on behalf of

all children with cancer and all children with autism? Why not, because

Clarence Page has the right to free speech. But enough is enough.

Really, this has gone to absurd levels. Why? Political dirty tricks.
