I hardly think that would be worth my time and effort, especially if it would take away from my board time defending the racists

[skippy3481]

People get wayyyy to defensive about stupid stuff like this. I'm offended all the time but who cares. I'm offended everytime a rap singers says the F word on the radio. I'm offfended every time i see someone talking on the phone while driving and cutting people off. The point is, ignore it. If your spending your time worrying about what that a talk show host called you a racist name, then your not going to hack it in life. And I absolutely love how Al Sharpton is all over this. Black people can disparage white people with no problem, but hold your pants if it comes in reverse. Jesse and Al want to set the world on fire.

I want my White Entertainment Television!!

I wonder if Jeremy Wariner has been called the new White Lightning.




And can this be termed a racial slur???

How does Iran fit into this?

I'm just tuning into this topic. I read the first couple pages and couldn't read any further.

Couple things:

I don't get upset about ethnic jokes or insults when they're generalized. I've been guilty of saying such things myself despite the fact that I'm of Italian, Irish, English and German heritage.

I used to listen to Imus a lot on my drive to work each morning, but not since I've been retired. I would never classify Imus as a racist. He's just an equal opportunity insulter.

However, Imus made specific comments against a specific group of women. That takes the generalized ethic insult throwing to an intolerable level.

That being said, Imus should apologize in person to all the girls on Rutger's basketball team. He should be sincere, contrite, and apologetic. The girls, of course, have the option to accept or deny his apology.

That's where it should stop. Imus doesn't have to apologize to anyone except the persons he insulted.

This is getting monotonous, and it's a spring board for everyone with an ax to grind or a political agenda.
