Greetings,
Where's the national headline: "CBS discriminates against Jews, Gays,
and now Imus"
Imus is, in fact, a victim of racial discrimination. If a black
entertainer had said the same (and many say worse) nothing would have
come of it. Imus insults groups of people as part of his job as a
"shock jock." The idea that members of the nappy-headed-ho class
somehow receive a pass should be a major slap in the face to ever
group he has previously insulted for which he was not censored. This
means that CBS treats the nappy-headed-ho class differently. First
Imus insults Jews... nothing from CBS... then Gays ... nothing from
CBS ... then nappy-headed-ho's and all of a sudden CBS cares! I'm
going to turn off CBS for a while.
Crappy Bull Shit,

Be it Gays - Jews - Blacks - etc., there is really no place for it. "I" do
not care for Imus or Stern or many others - and thankful that Limbaugh is
gone. Now THERE was a pompous idiot. Again - that is my choice and why my
dial is used. However - it is ridiculous - that it seems that "many" <NOT
ALL> Blacks are so "thin skinned". Yeah they were slaves - so what? Whites
were too at some point as were others. That was hundreds of years ago. WE do
NOT owe THEM anything. WE can't possibly repay them for what our forefathers
did. We can't repay them for that damage anymore than the Egyptians could -
the Jews. WE who are white can't possibly try to "collect" damages either
for our own abuses. The Jews can't possibly try to be compensated for the
damage inflicted on them both in Egypt and Germany. IF anyone has a right to
be pissed, it is THEM. They were as abused if not moreso than blacks. It was
a tragic moment in life - we must learn from it and move forward. The only
"payment" to the Blacks or Jews and to all - can be to be sure we all DO
learn from it and it doesn't get repeated. THAT is a reward far greater than
any.
Pollocks, Jews, Italians, run the gamut - people who wear glasses - fat
people - skinny people - short people - blondes - "ALL" get picked on
SOMEHOW. SO WHAT! I'd dare say the polish and blondes are picked on far more
than any blacks or others. If the Polish and Blonde haired people got pissed
off with all the "Dumb Polish/Dumb Blonde" jokes as are out there - the
blacks would have nothing over them. I'm not saying those jokes are proper
or in good taste, but they do exist. Many are made by the very parties they
inflict the embarassment on. Hell, even many blacks are mature enough to
realize what is going on here. You're black, Jewish, whatever - you can't
help it - you were born that way. GO with the flow and forget the war
mongering. Aside from the trouble makers like Sharpton and Jackson - "I" in
general have no issues with Blacks or other groups - many acquaintances and
a few friends are black. Some passed on or I lost track of too. Many of
those I've heard and "know" - will tell you - Jackson and Sharpton aren't
their speakers. They're smart enough to know - these two clowns are the
trouble makers. There was a black man on TV just today said neither Jackson
nor Sharpton represent the entire Black community and placed blame for the
words used ON blacks for "Creating" them. THEY have to accept blame for
their own harm. Imus was just dumb enough to repeat some words created by
others - and got nailed for it. There are MANY who should be off the air for
their off handed remarks be they aimed at Jews, Blacks, etc.... but they're
still there. Imus was just one of the "big" fish.
The only times I listen to either Sharpton or Jackson, is to watch them make
bigger idiots of themselves than they already are. Jackson cooked his goose
good with the pregnancy deal - since then - been pretty quiet. Sharpton
needs to go down - now. HE will - give him time. Sooner or later - he will
meet his. He to me, is the black version of Limbaugh. Pompous idiot.
FWIW - it is interesting though - regardless who the talk show host may be -
large or small market - to listen to them. Anytime a subject comes up - and
the "host" disagrees - they'll cut the opposing viewer off - QUICK -
sometimes literally hanging up on them. WHY have "talk shows" if only one
sided views are welcome?
There is an announcer in a big market near here - it is "he is all right -
the world all wrong". Agree with him, he let you talk for ever. Disagree -
you're condemned for your views - called stupid, etc. If they're not going
to allow an opposing view - then the talk show is of no relevance to the
community - and the FCC if not the stations management - should re-evaluate
the purpose. Strange, how they'll say the Station Management has no claims
to how a subject is presented. Yet if they don't cut off "offensive"
material - then in essence they are "Supporters" of it. I've not personally
seen that of CBS - though it could be - but I've noticed similar actions via
other venues. Many stations have a 6 second delay in their talk shows. It
isn't a lot of time, but enough that if an offensive remark is made -
someone can cut the part out so it doesn't get transmitted. That "could"
have "maybe" saved IMUS' ass if someone was on the ball. The only people who
would have heard it then, would be Imus when saying it, and anyone with
access to the Station Audio Monitor. YES - Imus may be a "Shock Jock" but
even Stern has been fired as such for some of his actions. Doesn't anyone
pay attention to what is aired anymore?
ODD........... America the "melting pot" of society. You have MANY who are
MIXES of Italian, Polish, Russian, White, Black, Jewish, Christian - NAME
IT - with jokes about most of them - and yet here we are - still fighting
like little kids over some words created by the people themselves who are
the most pissed. Ya got to love it. Many of these people need to get a life.
Mention it, deal with it and move on. This story is a week old already and
not worth another minute. The man was fired - should be end of story.
Sharpton got what he wanted.
