Talk show host Don Imus made some crude and rude remarks about the Rutgers Girls Basketball Team. He has apologised several times on air for the remarks. Now radio and TV outlets are suspending his show for two weeks. Is this reaction racially motivated because Don Imus is white and the team is mostly Black, While Black Rap Stars can use the same or worse language in thier songs? Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson see nothing wrong with calling the Duke LaCross Players criminals and rapist jsut because a Black Woman made the charge against white men. Both men have made racially and ethinically charged comments and seem to recieve forgiveness. Is there a unwritten rule that you can't say things about minorities but can call Whites all kinds of names and have a free ticket.

everyone has their opionion. but I think the discion of firing him was good. you just don't say that. Blacks can get away with sayng something like that but not on TV. or Radio.

Yes, it's racially motivated. Worse yet, it is extortion. Sharpton and Jackson have made millions from making mountains out of molehills... yet they are the two most racist fools in the US.
The MSM should ignore these two ignorant fools, instead they reveal their own racism by acting as if all Black Americans are the same.
