Re: Any thoughts on the Imus debacle?

Should he have said that? No. Does he deserve what he got? No...This whole thing is absolutely ridiculous. I think anything that is offensive racially is bad whether your race says it or not. I think if the black community is so offended by it, why do they keep saying these things (ala rap)? If they want to forget about the past of slavery and all that other stuff, why do they still bring it up? They're the ones who bring it up on a daily basis and they're teaching kids that its ok to be saying these words. I hate racism, but to me, when you rap about it and say it, you act as if its OK to say, it shows me that they don't care about it, and its not that big of a deal. And when certain people are shown that, they abuse it, and start saying racist things...

One other thing that ticks me off is that all these people who take offense from what Imus said are just people itching to be offended. Everyone has to find someway to be offended, it's ridiculous how others are. Some people live for just trying to find ways to find something offensive or politically incorrect. It drives me nuts, and its not helping any community in the USA whatsoever, what is this stuff teaching our youth? If we ever want to make strides towards not having racism, you have to get rid of it. In my mind, we still have it because of certain people within that race, and the irony is, the people saying it within that race are usually the people who are most offended by it.
