Don Imus and Rutgers Women

[Byebyemermaid]

MSNBC will be suspending the simulcast of Imus in the morning for 2 weeks.

That's terrible news for the 12 people who listen/watch him every morning

Bbm, I just caught this as well with Lou Dobbs on CNN. This has not only the black community outraged. This has the backing of every woman's organization, business, etc, etc, in the nation.

In other words, Mr Imus's words have been seen as an offense to all women.

This does not bode well for this man, not at all

Please tell me you're being sarcastic.

Pants just reporting the news, bud. This has spread, but as we know, often such is the case in these unfortunate instances of hoof and mouth disease. LOLOL

I'm glad you brought this into the conversation. I watched both the Shoot Around, which was won by a female, and the women's play off...felt a real sense of satisfaction for my kind. I happen to also listen to Imus in the early mornings....hearing him belittle the accomplishment was yet another one of those "slight humiliations" we females have to hear all the time when we demonstrate a level of competence in "a man's world."

Did you watch the Masters?

Yes, and what's your point? That women can't make the cut?

FYI: Imus is a very sick man and has emphysema.

I agree with Scuds....Bo has to go. He's just not funny. He's actually pathetic.

And in a contrite gesture, Imus should publicly fire Bernard and replace him with an African American.

I find it amusing when they refer to Imus as a "shock jock"

When was the last time he was shocking?

Well,I heard a little more of the whole incident today........Sure enough,Don didn't come up with the word Ho.No,that was thrown in by Bernard saying "Hardcore Ho(s)." Don didn't think.He just instantly put "Nappy-headed" along with it.I think it is very important that he dump Bernard.Bernard is responsible for almost all of the comments that are over the line.People are very upset about using the word "ho" to describe any of these students.Well,it wouldn't have happened if Bernard wasn't there.I don't think Don is a bad person,but I am not sure(at all) about Bernard.Imus is responsible for what goes on,and if he says he is gunna change the show,then I think Bernard(for sure)has to go.His whole reason for being there was to go over the line like this.Bernard's comedy may be acceptable for a club,but not for a national daily t.v. show.I am not a guy big on controlling speech,and I don't think calling somebody ugly is over the line.If it is,then we gotta stop commenting about body part size etc.,because people can't control these things.People haven't been hurt physically for being ugly etc. in this country.They have been physically injured for being Black,or gay.So,I see race and sexual orientation as areas these guys need to stop "rapping about" when comedy is the point of the conversation at hand.I didn't say Don should be fired.I think you will get mixed views on that. I said I thought he would be fired.I still think he might be(because a lot more is there if they go searchin'.)I think Bernard should have been canned 4 days ago.

No they can't be members

Those that were fortunate enough to see the class that the women of the Rutgers basketball team demonstrated at their press conference, the dignity and poise they possess, have seen fine young student atheletes that should serve as positive role models for not only black people, but also women of any color. They gained my respect even more for their intelligence than they had previously for their athletic abilities. Their parents should feel pride in their daughters equal to that which their eloquent coach expressed.

Duh...that's precisely why they can't make the cut.

I found it more than ironic that there was no mention of Martha Burk this year.

Why would blonde be a prerequisite?

I've never understood that.



Did ya hear about the brunette lady?

She thought the blonde lady was smart.

What about the red headed lady who wanted a nickname?

She wanted to be called "righty".

Your namesake knows him well. They did a 30 minute segment on his "apology" this morning.
