Which would seem to support my original post, no?

Let me understand your stance. It is awful for a public figure to "offend" a particular group even though the 2 have no ties or contact but on a personal level people need to develop a thicker skin?

Interesting question.
I'm not sure I can give a correct answer either way.
All I can say is my personal opinion, that being that one need not go out of their way to "offend" (nor defend). If it means having a thicker skin (despite its color) to tolerate racism, well, again...in my humble opinion, racism is not tolerable and needs to be spoken against.

Also, if you took anything I said as a personal attack on you, my sincere apologies. A good friend, who also worked for H Allen, and went to dinner with you both, told me of your ability as a horseman. Joey says "hi".

Oh Joey would say hi to a frog.

I just took the name dropping as a subtle threat. It's kind of hilarious and a typical move by the granola police.

I must admit ignorance concerning Imus. I saw a recent picture of him. How can a man with a head of hair like his insult anyone else's nappy hair. He looks absolutely ridiculous. The 70's are gone Mr. Imus, meet Edwardo Scissorhands. God Lord, a virtual hurricane of protein fibers reaching the status of Marge Simpson with a bit of color added.

But then again he is on the radio. He should request that his picture above the forehead be deleted.

For Imus, the 70's are important, it's both his age and when he started in radio. He's been trying to catch up to Stern since the early 80's.

He needed to say something outrageous to improve his radio ratings...they all do it.

I would suggest that if you were that bothered by what Imus said maybe you should contact his employer? I could care less. If he said that he hates skinny white bald guys who occasionally drink and gamble too much I would say - who cares what he thinks? My skin has grown VERY thick over the last year and a half, two years as my maturity both in the "real" world and the online world has grown leaps and bounds.

One thing I have learned rather quickly is that I worry about my life and not what others think about how I am leading it. If I am making the right decisions and doing the right things, then I will sleep at night.

Mr.Toast:

Would you ask Mr.Stretch if he plays with real Monopoly money?
