Imus and Nappy-headed-ho's

[DanaC]

Well said pierce.

And Merc of course I recognise my own country's part in history. Nor am I beating on your country when I talk about its historic and current role in racial politics. I feel no guilt for my country's role. I do however recognise my country's role. Its simply a matter of history.

I already said this in unpopular opinions but the deal is, Imus was fired for the true ugly things he said about Clinton and Bush not the false ugly things he said about the Rutgers' women.

1970s Imus was hilarious.

Dr Billy Sol Harkness of the good Church of the gooey death; discount house of workship coming to you from Del Rio Texas-

I don't care if it rains or freezes
Long as I got my plastic jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car.

I could go 100 mile an hour
Long as I got the almight power
Right up there with my pair of fuzzy dice.

After an airliner was hijacked to Cuba, Imus called Cuba to negotiate a discounted purchase of a used 727. US State Department was not amused.

Those were the days when Imus, Soupy Sales, and Howard Sterm shared the same radio station. Amazing how hate in both radio (Rush Limbaugh) and music (hip hop) is now considered entertainment. Amazing that the color of one's skin now determines what that person can and cannot say.

This is the same way most whites feel in this country. I have no guilt about it either.
