Fired - Don Imus
4/13/2007 at 11:21 AM
Really this is a stupid media disaster in my eyes.
Don Imus is a broadcasting legend throughout New York and the USA for that matter.
What he said was wrong but does this story warrant Hillary Clinton and Obama to make comments on it. Plus a 30 minute live feature on CNN's Anderson Cooper last night.
Anyways I like the comments from Jason Whitlock from the Kansas City Star and he quotes " in America we have more Gangster Rap and Hip Hop culture issues to resolve other than to worry about some old white guy making a couple of random comments" AMEN to that Jason.
He brings up an interesting stat that
1/3 of black men will be in jail or involved with the criminal system in the USA.
So his point is that their is much bigger issues to worry about rather than worry about Don Imus calling a basketball team a mean and rough looking team. Sure they had some tattoos etc. but I am sure the Rutgers University would like to put this story behind them real fast.
