I"ve been involved in a big post about this in another forum so I will just copy my first post on that forum: Each day I hate the people of America more and more. And its not Don Imus I hate. He used the phrase "nappy-headed hos" on the radio. Not that black rappers haven't been doing this for a decade, and selling billions of albums with the same message. But now because a white man says it, is the the end of the world? You have a shock radio host, who has said worse things on the air before, who is now being torn to shreds because of this singular comment? What ever did happen to our freedom of speech? I'm sick and tired of this double standard in society. Black Americans can use these terms, but they turn something that would have stayed relatively small, into a national conflict. If they had just let his comment go we would see nothing on national tv, nor by now would it be in our news papers. He has insulted just about every orientation, gender and race on his show, so what makes the black Americans so much more delicate than the rest? The NAACP is constantly trying to fight for those hypocritical "equal but separate" rights. And I'm really sick and tired of hearing "African American". Unless you are a native born African who has come to America and received citizenship you are a !@#$%^&*ing American. Plain and simple. In short: If I owned a radio station, I'd give the man a job.
