The Furor
Okay, I get the Imus thing to a certain extent. Bad choice of words Don, real bad. What is really starting to piss me off though is that he isn't the worst spewer of that crap. Hey Mr. Sharpton and Mr. Jackson! Why aren't you out there demanding that 99% of the rap stars don't get their contracts renewed? Why aren't you outraged by their hateful talk? Turn your radio to any rap station and you will hear Ho and bitches about 100 times more than you ever did on Imus' radio show. Why is it that when NWA spouts off crap 1,000 times more vile than anything Imus said YOU SAY NOTHING!?! Is it only because you go after the easy target? Again, don't get me wrong, racist comments are not a socially accepted way to get your point across but shouldn't that apply to EVERYONE?

Certainly what Imus said was inappropriate and inexcusable, but I have to agree with you about the mixed message from the hip-hop community. By now we all know that the N word is off limits unless you happen to be black, but now apparently "bitches and hos" is their territory, too. It's one thing if blacks want to demean their own race, but words like "bitch" and "ho" are sexist no matter how you slice it. Based on the example of the N word, shouldn't only women be allowed to say those words and not all these male rap artists? Just askin...
Excellent point!
You are absolutely right.
I agree 100%.
Thanks Janna, I thought I would be in the minority with this opinion.
Vinnie, I agree with you too. I'm equally confused that such mixed messages are allowed!! Great post!
