Dave SAmen JK!! One thing I think that should remain in context is the target audience that Imus draws...those that listen are generally used to his shenanigans and biased comments regardless of whether related to race, religion, or sex. Yes his ignorance borders on insanity and yes his comment what wrong...but those are the exact kind of comments that draws the audience he appeals to. And right or wrong, the big advertisers have known his tactics for years and continued to fund the show...
As for Sharpton and Jackson, as Matt Lauer insinuated on the Today show...they want equal rights for everyone, "as long as they aren't white"! Jesse Jackson has and always has been about Jesse Jackson, not the black race in general. And Sharpton follows that same example. He made the comment this morning that the reason black rappers use the "ho", etc. lyrics they do is because of their white producers demand it! Totally ludicrous, get over it!
