I don't care for shock jocks and the like.............but rap should be a crime, it ain't music.


But what Imus said was wrong for a white man in America today. I work for the DoD, with black Americans and African-Americans. One friend hates the 'African' title, quote from him : "I ain't never been to Africa" And I agree with him, his family has been in America way longer than mine, by about 150 years, maybe more.

The others who are considering them selves African-Americans say the "N-word" to each other regurly, and I have on more than one occasion heard them say "The white boys." Being from Oklahoma if I said "Black boys" I would be in deep kim-chee, and most likely fired. How's that for a sterio type.


As far as Imus is concerned, I use Jim edwards old campagin slogan of two Americas. One is non-caucasion who can pretty much say anything.....it's their constutional right (even if they are ILLEGAL ALIENS)..............then the always wrong, can't say crap with out being labled a klan member or some stuff.

I am truly for equal rights, and we are ALL Americans. I was raised not to see color, and respect other culters. But always being politically correct is getting old. All colors, races and religions SHOULD LIGHTEN UP! Get a bloody grip. Respect is a must, but if YOU can say it, I should be able to, and vice versa.

But it is getting out of hand. If Jessie Jackson said it (it would really be silly...but) would be a snicker in the news, kinda a joke of the day. If Sharpton said it he would be on SNL for the 100th time. But Imus said it so it was wrong. It was nowhere near the Michael Richards racist rant, which was WAY-WAY wrong and over the line.

Right, wrong or indifferent, a white guy said it, so it was wrong.
