You know, I’ve read quite a bit of posts recently by white people saying that Imus was only fired for what he said because he was white, and also I’ve heard people try to somehow link this Imus story to the January Christian/Newsome murder (http://ronbosoldier.blogspot.com/2007/04/new-racism-hush-crimes.html). Frankly, I don't know what all you people are talking about! You seem to think that somehow it’s racist for white people to actually get fired for saying racist things! Black people have had it way worse than that for a long time! They had to be slaves for a long time and are still suffering terribly because of it. Also, women have been mistreated throughout history. So because their ancestors were mistreated they should be treated better than the REAL enemy, which is the WHITE MAN!
If it were published all over the internet and on major radio stations that Black people had tortured and murdered two white people, then that would make Blacks as a whole look bad, which is completely untrue! Similarly, if people blamed the rape victim Black girl in the Duke rape case for "lying" about being raped (though it has been shown that women almost never lie about being raped) it would make Black women look bad. But if our society keeps trying to make Blacks and women look bad, how are they ever going to be equal?
I’m a white male and I’ve realized this! How long it is going to take before the rest of you catch on??? It’s the WHITE MEN that are the cause of all our country’s problems, and therefore it makes complete sense for Imus to be fired! Finally, a step in the right direction!
