Race hustlers are prime time again with Imus and his “nappy” comment. We have race sponges out there who like to feel upset, guilty, or more caring as they are told when to and what to react to. One caller to a radio show said that she felt offended and all the girls on the Rutgers basketball team became her daughters when she heard what Imus said. I wonder if they know they have two moms, now. That’s really caring!
How many have read the entire dialogue between Imus and his side kick? Is it any wonder that the “Now the Tennessee team, those girls are all good looking.” is left out of the discussion? It’s tough to call or infer that Imus is racist when the girls on the other predominantly black team are considered pretty. That de-claws the cat. If you Google ‘white girls are good looking don imus’ you get no related articles. One could argue that Imus is decidedly racist against white women since he’s only called black women pretty. They’re both silly arguments.
Imus was comparing the looks of the two teams. It was harsh, but aside from the racial play it would have been a non-story. Nappy hair? Leaving aside the black vernacular and pop culture that is so popular, park outside a Sally’s Beauty Supply for 15 minutes and watch how many blacks frequent that national chain. $9.99 for some relaxer, no problem. Straightener, Jerry Curl, Hair Food, Hair Growth Vitamins, South African Hair Oil,...aside from the new 'n' word, what are these blacks trying to hide??
It says something of our society that Imus' comments have "ruined" the Rutgers team season. I wouldn’t give two cents to live my life relying on others to make me happy or fulfilled. I’m afraid these girls have bigger problems than Imus and it started with their parents (or lack thereof).
Where's David Duke? Surely after the racist comments from Imus, we would have seen Duke invited onto Oprah or CNN, or heard his interview with Al 'the Rev' Sharpton. Calling the entire (predominantly black) Tennessee basketball team "all cute" leaves millions of white and Asian girls groping for meaning in their now worthless and pathetic lives.
In Imus' long storied career he has never classified any white or Asian group as "all cute". It's evident, he's violated the white and Asian community with his irresponsible and racist behavior by favoring the other racial group.
I call on General Motors and American Express to show solidarity with the female Caucasoid and Asian races by pulling their ads from the Imus show. This is America! OK, time will tell if my words have tugged at the hearts of the corporate world.
update They came, they read Maudie, they pulled their advertising against Caucasoid-Asian slurs. Thanks corporate America!
