I thought a poll would be a good way to start a thread on a controversial subject.
So, you are saying that if someone does not like what Jesse Jackson and/or Al Sharpton are saying, that someone can change the station.I dont believe in racism, but imus caters to a certain crowd who seems to accept his points of views. Theres a saying you dont like what your hearing change the station!

I think Imus was trying to use street jargon. I doubt that he knew the implications of what he was saying. (His attempts to apologize contain some more of these sad/funny/strange attempts to sound cool, with-it, hip, now, rad. He still doesn't know what he is saying, and he can't admit it.)
We recently had a Danish family visit for a couple of weeks. The teenagers picked up saying the phrase "Whazzup, n****r?" Luckily, we put a stop to that. Mostly.
Thats offensive 9.5 i think you need to resign your handle. That will not be tolerated, people are intitled to their hairdos wiyhout judgement. You have 5 mins to comply or ill call jesse.The word "Ho" is used in 95% of all rap songs.
Where are Jesse and Al on that?
Oh, I see. It's ok for black people to call their women "hos", but not white people.
And to take this off subject.... What the friend is Imus thinking? He's like 70, and has that rock star hairdo. Looks like an idiot.
Not buying it. We will be picketing your super cut location where you get a hair cut until your banned from this forum! Dont make me call jesse, do whats right.I would like to apologize to Mr Imus. My remarks were taken out of context. I'm really not a bad guy.....
MHO-
I fail to fathom the value of Shock Jock entertainment in the first place. I think the Imus's, the Howard Sterns, are
total morons. But others find them highly amusing.
I also don't get how the music industry can put out certain garbage. I admit I'm over the top, but the work of Grammy and Academy Award winner (?) Eminem and a few others aren't found in this house. My kid won't be hearing any more than he has to about how he can do whatever to his mother
and his sister...
Jesse and Al have accomplished some great things yet I also
find them to be opportunists at times.
BUT, this time I can't find fault with the Imus mission. The idiot went too far.
I don't enjoy some of my friends who are mixed couples telling me they get yelled at when they walk their kids to school. In this day and age. And I don't live in Alabama or Mississippi. We're in Colorado. Some of these people don't even go out to dinner any more because of the idiotic behavior they have to put up with.
There are mixed couples within my own family and I won't even start with the racism they have and will always have to
endure.
This one ain't funny, folks.
I find fault in the Imus mission in that he was basically fired for a VERY poor attempt at being funny. It was nothing more than a poor attempt at talking "Hip Hop Language." It was taken totally out of context. When he starts burning crosses and lynching blacks then, AND ONLY THEN, should ole Jesse and Al come out of their Racial Bat Cave. I saw an interview with "Snoop Dog" where he was responding to people accusing rappers of doing the same thing. You know....double standard. Do you want to know what his reasoning for it was? Why he said it was ok for rappers to smear women and call them "HOs" and the "N Word"??? Ok...here is the good part...He said it was ok because "When they say it it's ART because it's comming from their hearts." That had me rolling.

Sounds like you support this.At least Jesse is addressing the music industry regarding language used by Rapppers.
