Since Jessie Jackson provided a scholarship for the accuser in the Duke Lacrosse scandal, do you think he will do the same for the boys now?




>>>>>>I'm not an Imus fan....but for crying out loud, Al Sharpton has dropped the 'N' bomb several times in public, and Jesse Jackson referred to NYC as H****-town. Did Sharpton call for Jackson's head at the time?
>>>>>>
>>>>>>A 2 week suspension is appropriate and sufficient. I don't think Imus is a racist, I just think he's obnoxious in general.
>>>>>>
>>>>>>While I feel for the Rutgers players, this concept of a "meeting" to get something "accomplished" is a little silly. If they actually believe his comments "detract from their accomplishments", they're giving Imus too much credit to begin with.

>>>>>if Imus would have put it in a "Rap" music form it would have been ok.

>>>You laugh my friend but holywood and the entertainment industry hand out big buck$ and very prestigious awards for lyrics that contain the same words that got Imus in trouble.

>>That's true. But it has become more about money than moral outrage at what he originally said. Several major sponsors of his show (GM, P & G, big advertisers like that) have announced they are dropping out, which I am sure is what led msnbc.com to drop Imus. I will be surprised if the radio station does not follow suit. The color that really got him in trouble was not black or white, but green.

>Well for whatever reason, he is being "slaughter" for words that are being used everday by other entertainers. All of a sudden the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons of the world are concerned about langauage that are being used over the airways .... give me a break!
