Imus, Sharpton, and the Thought Police
(The grandest of all race hustlers. In my view, according to Websters dictionary, he has incited more racism that many modern white people could ever muster.)
Well, I have been avoiding this story all week in my playoff excitement, but I feel it has to be addressed. Don Imus. Who is this guy. Why have I been a hardcore political follower and blogger for almost 7 years and never heard of this guy? My impressions upon research (never trust the media, you know)—he is a dimwitted, cynical old man who makes bad, race-based, orientation-based jokes.
For those of you who don’t know, my impression is that Don Imus was a primarily liberal talk show host (probably why I never heard of him) who called the girls on the Rutgers’ basketball team “some nappy-headed hoes”. That’s the bad joke. For this, however, the man lost his job. HE LOST HIS F@#$IN’ JOB!!
Let me say that again: HE LOST HIS JOB!!
HE LOST HIS JOB!!
HE LOST HIS JOB!!
Are you kidding me? The man lost his job for doing his job, which, whether you realize it or not, is to vocalized every thought that comes to his mind. Deplorable, disgusting, disheartening, yes. Grounds for termination, no. Both MSNBC and CBS caved to the pressure of race pimp grande, Al Sharpton. Further showing what an idiot Imus is, he went on Sharpton’s radio show and grovelled for forgiveness. Naturally, this wasn’t enough. He needed to be eliminated. The MTP (Morality and Thought Police) and the chief is the riot inciting, douchebag of a “black leader” that is Al Sharpton.
Everyone should be pissed about this. What says you are not next. Next time you have an intemperate thought, who says you are not next. Where will it stop? And a greater, more currently pertinent question, when the f*** did Al f****in’ Sharpton become the grand pumba of what is right and appropriate to be broadcast on the airwaves (can you sense my disgust for this pissant of a man, someone who benefits from others misery)?
Ah, I can’t even get my thoughts together on this one. Bottom line:
1) Don Imus is an idiot, senile old man — not a racist or sexist. He is a bad joke composer.
2) Al Sharpton is a scourge to African-Americans and is, in general, a complete race pimping douche.
3) We are all next. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but soon. Political correctness is sucking the soul out of society. The precedent has been set. It is not publicly acceptable to be fired for saying something that “offends” or is disagreeable to someone. WE ARE NEXT. It’s the old trickle down effect. It works in economics, and it will work socially, unfortunately.
By the way, this is education time. Next time you hear some idiot bantering around racist, sexist, etc., use 2nd grade skills and think of the definitions. These are from the source, Merriam-Webster. Don’t belive me, look at it for yourself.
Racist:
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.
Sexist:
1 : prejudice or discrimination based on sex; especially : discrimination against women
2 : behavior, conditions, or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on sex
I say that in no way was Don Imus a racist based on that definition (after all the team wasn’t all black and the condition of the ladies hair certainly doesn’t presume they are inferior), but he may be sexist in this comment. Just remember that we cannot overarch and make a generalization on his character based on one intemperate thought.
What do you think?

) I have some real good debate topics coming up such as: socialization of medicine and my proposal to actually increase taxes. Yes, I said it. Increase taxes! WOW! It will all make sense soon. Thanks for the continued support through this extremely demanding semester.
