Imus has been past his prime for so long this is ridiculous. He is a fuckhead redneck. He slipped up. In two weeks everyone will have something else to talk about. Personally, its time for him to retire....like back in 81' or so.
I think you're a good guy, but throwing 'redneck' around doesn't help yer case. I personally don't get butthurt over it, but if it's not 'cool' to say 'fag' or any other words potentially offensive to a group, then people shouldn't be able to use redneck in that context either.
If you look at anything on Youtube pertaining to race, you see a lot of 'White ass' 'Redneck' and 'Cracker' comments. Especially on video comments pertaining to the recent 'Imus' scandal. It's pretty hypocritical, but I'll stop here before someone breaks my balls for being "paranoid about Whites being oppressed" again. (Which I'm not, I'm merely able to see contradictions such as this.)

Some southern white males get offended when you call them a redneck. Yet they buy CD's called "redneck woman."
No self respecting Southern gentleman would buy that CD, haha.

Come on, they were showing this shit all over cnn yesterday. I don't consider this news worthy especially what 6 days after the fact? {this has been said all ready} Nappy & hoes doesn't equal racist , he was questioning the fact that they didn't comb their hair & that they were easy women or sold themselves for money. No where in there does it say anything about race.
I agree with the "nappy headed ho's" not being racist. Still, it had to be offensive to the girls playing. What I would consider racist is the 'Jiggaboo' comment, as I've only heard that word used in a derogatory context.
I like Imus, and his show though, and hope that it doesn't get removed, 'cos it gives me something funny to watch when I'm still up at 7 am.
