He's a racist. Fuck him hope they burn his ass. Give his radio time slot to Al Sharpton.
Ever hear of slander? Publically calling someone specific a "ho" is actionable, presuming the target of the comment is, in fact, not one.
What needs to be understood is that the first amendment protection of free speech is not absolute and unbridled, and that's its primary intent is to protect political speech. It does not give anyone the right to engage in slanderous speech without consequence.

He shouldn't have called anyone "hos". But that's sexism, maybe. I don't see anyone bitching about sexism here. This is just another LPSG racist rant about the evils of whitey. Fuck that.

In most cases I automatically choose to side with whoever is on the other team than Jackson or Sharpton. This would be one of them.
I didn't detect any tone of malice in Imus's (admittedly poorly chosen in our oh so pc world) words. In fact, I hear affection and admiration if anything.
I wish he wouldn't have apologized.
It was both racist AND sexist.
Nappy-headed = racist.
Hos = sexist.
Not either/or but and/both.
The difference between racism in American and Korea is that here it is very overt and out in the open. In America there is surprise and outrage whenever someone isn't subtle about it. Here, nobody gives a shit. It's just accepted.
I just skipped that one. I figured I'd let someone else admit to being speechless.Wow. I am speechless.
Wow. I am speechless.
Why? I told my brother that his hair looked "nappy" a few weeks ago. No joke. And, last time I checked the word "head" could be claimed by any race...
