Don Imus stil a Racist?
Don Imus back to beginning again. He just never learm.
Remember in April 2007 when he refer the predominantly black members of a university women’s basketball team as “nappy headed hos,” we all know that was a derogatory term for coarse, curly hair with slang for whore. Now he’s saying that Blacks should be outrage because cops arrested a black person for no reason.
A colleague of Imus commented on how many times Jones had been arrested
since he had been drafted by the Tennessee Titans in 2005, and Imus asked what
color he was. Told that Jones is black, Imus responded: “Well, there you go. Now
we know.”
But on Tuesday Imus said during his show: “Obviously I already knew
what color he was. The point was to make a sarcastic point.
“What people
should be outraged about is they arrest blacks for no reason,” he said. “There’s
no reason to arrest this kid six times, maybe he did something once, but I mean
everybody does something once.”Civil rights campaigner Rev. Al Sharpton
said he found the inference in this week’s remark by Imus “disturbing.” He said
his National Action Network lobby group had been monitoring Imus’ show since he
returned to the airwaves in December.
