Default Imus suspended

Imus from Imus in the Morning, a radio/ tv show was suspended for racial remarks on the rutgers womens basketball team, i dont really like the guy, and i think its bull crap that he said whatever it was, but i cant help but wonder, if Al sharpton made the same remark, would he be suspended, or if Imus would of said something about ugly white chicks? hes a douche but id still like to hear some thoughts on this

If what VP said was true, I can see some reprucussion...

However, if you're going to ponder the tip, what about whats underneath? How about the disgusting display of reverse racism everyday. NAACP, BET or UNCEF?

There was a time and place when the NAACP or UNCEF was necessary - but those days are far behind us. What if there was a National Association for the Advancement of White People? How about the United White Peoples College Education Fund? White Entertainment Television? Yeah...

Doesn't mean I'm against black people, it means I'm against ANY person who takes advantage of a system simply because it's in place and easy. It's far too difficult to redirect funds from one of those organizations to another that promotes and rewards children of any age, race, creed or nationality. That takes intelligence, determination and will.

Don't even get me started on the ACLU...

The way it works is that black people can call white people any name in the book and it is OK. White people can't say anything thathas any racial component. Even if they are ex-alcoholic sterno-bums like Imus.

What white people then do is not hire black people for jobs whenever possible as revenge. So the big question is would you rather have a job or call white people names???

It sounds terrible, but that is how it goes. Nothing is gonna change it and here is why. Jesse Jackson and his Rainbow Coalition is a company that searches for situations such as this and exploits them for its own profit. These moneys that will be given by NBC to the Rainbow Coalition to perform consulting services to make NBC employees more sensitive to the racial issues that surround us. So the white guy in his office, just picking his ***, now has to go to some training or have some poster infront of him when he takes a leak that essentially says 'Black is beautiful'. Now this poor bastard gets annoyed that the money that should have gone into his pocket through stock price appreciation or profit sharing is now going to Jesse Jackson even though nothing was even do to hurt the good Reverend.

So now Whitey gets a promotion and two people walk in, one black and one white. Assuming that their quota is filled, and there always is a quota that was part of the settlement from the last Imus brain fart, he will hire the white guy/girl.

That is how it works. So everyone, especially the white people, thank Imus when you get hired because your Boss has the 'we got to take care of our own' attitude.
