The Poverty Pimp Rev. Al Sharpton is now calling for WFAN to fire radio host Don Imus. Imus, jokingly, called the Rutger's NCAA women's basketball team players "nappy-headed hos."

Anyone who's ever listened to Imus knows that he insults EVERYBODY!! He insults his friends, e.g. Senators Kerry and McClain...

He insults Presidents, e.g. Clinton (at the press banquet) and Bush.

Message to processed-head Rev. Al!!: Imus wouldn't have KNOWN the ignorant-azzed word "ho" if it wasn't used in songs by the IGNORANT-AZZED Black minstrel rappers that you promote and defend!!

A white radio shock-jock jokingly stating that "those are some rough nappy-headed ho's" is the LEAST of our problems!

Getting rid of these tired "so-called" BLACK LEADERS (Rev. Al and Rev Jesse) is priority ONE!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.  I Could not believe some of the stupid, ignorant and ill informed comments made here.  Like it is no big deal, we should just accept it and go on.  I think that must be the mentality of the newer generation. (not all) and those who have NO self respect.   And to make insulting comments regarding Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson is crazy.  Afterall when something does happen in the black community, who else comes to the rescue, whether it is in front of the camera or not.   I sometimes wonder what the H___ is wrong with this generation of people.  Just what did our ancesters fight and DIED for.  United we stand and divided we fall.  If we do not come to our own rescue who will.  We can mingle with the other races all we want  but if the boat were to come for  you,  You would not find them and  You would  scream for Al and Jessie. to intervene on your behalf.   You are absolutely correct,  if this is the mentality  of this generation, they are only going to just pass it onto their children.  With thinking like this, we cannot go forward.  Won't be long before we will once again be on the sale block.

Thank you, Ebony727.  Sadly, there are too few of us that have the GUTS or the intelligence to see what is REALLY going on.  It's better to sit back, scratch that ass and giggle and jive.  That's old too.  Plantation style.....

I forgot about that baby that Jesse Jackson fathered with a lady not his wife. In all fairness, I think that he supports the child, however he did that woman AND his wife dirty so it's ridiculous for him to talk about respecting women when he is so disrespectful of the women in his personal life.

A baby is NEVER a mistake and the child is a blessing to her mother's life, however it's very sad that her father did what he did.

And he was advising Clinton at the same time about Clinton's infidelity!

As for Imus, I don't usually watch him that much and I never listen to him on the radio so I don't give a damn one way or the other what he does. Even if he loses his job with MSNBC some other network will pick him up and he will still have more money than I have and more money than any nurse who works in a hospital saving lives, and that shows just how screwed up this country is, when a person can become a multi billionaire for bloviating! And that goes for Sharpton too!

Sting got it right:

Poets Priests and Politicians, have words to thank for their positions, and while their eloquence escapes you, their logic ties you up and rapes you.

I agree that Black people are over sensitive in this case. Why? Because listeners will make Imus pay for his Idiocy. All this apology, and fire him raging is going to do nothing IMHO because it doesn't change the heart. I can respect a person being up front and telling me he hates black folk than one who just says what he needs to say to keep his job.

I'm a black man. I don't care for Sharpton or Jackson. While they have done some good I think they are political pimps. If we as black people don't understand our INDIVIDUAL ability to speak for ourselves, we're already in trouble. There was a time for "We Shall Overcome" but no more. It's time for a united black effort based on the interest of "Black People". No longer beholding to any political party but more like the Black Nationalist Party that Malcolm X was forming.

We have children listening to music that degrades black women alot worse than Imus ever did. It broadcast and streams into black homes everyday.  But we buy it for our kids and we dance to it????

What's wrong with this picture???

What a bunch of ignorant spineless morons.  Like Cedric the Entertainer said, I WISH someone would make a racist comment toward me or my people in a public manner.  It's one thing for someone to say it privately since it is a free country (only because we had to suffer and fight to make it that way).  If it was up to everyone else, blacks would be the most disrespected and forgotten about race on the planet.  We've been through Hell and back, and still prosper in more ways than most (and not just in sports, as many would love to believe: do research on some of the best inventions/cures ever made).  Also keep in mind that we did all this way back since slave times, when we weren't even allowed to learn to read and write.  I'm tired of everyone thinking that we should just deal with some of this sh** that public figures say about us.  If we did that, we would still be slaves and servants.  And so what young black men do a lot of ignorant and dumb things in their music videos and Al Sharpton had a kid out of wedlock;  it is a bad, bad thing.  What about Marilyn Manson? What about Bill Clinton and Monica? What about all the other presidents who had extra marital affairs? It's never a good thing, but we are humans.  It's not something that just blacks do.  What do you expect young blacks to think about themselves with stuff like those  radio comments are still being said in public? The point is, segregation took place not even 60 years ago, and still is present in subtle ways today, and we have gained extraordinary progress in several areas of life.  And to the poster saying that today's generation just accepts it:  Please.  We don't march passively anymore like back in the 50's.  Remember what happened with the Rodney King incident?  Even though we thought he was an idiot for apologizing afterward.  We don't accept that sh** anymore, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.  No one wants to talk about Emenim dissing him own mom on and wife on a rap album for money (I like Eminem, but your mom?)  Blacks have advanced the most in the shortest period of time considered we were just slaves not that long ago.  Remember, if it were'nt for us, most other races would not even be allowed to be free in the U.S.  True, we have a long way to go, but damn, don't blame it on the rappers.  I have the feeling that people in general are starting to get a little uncomfortable with the power Blacks have  today.  I would feel "threatened" too! I  think there's a ton more to get off my chest, but I'm sure someone else can write it...

First, Sass, Imus isn't Jewish.

At least that's what he said only last week.

Second- I heard him make fun of Jewish people numerous times. His agent is a Jewish woman and he dogs her daily, all in fun.

Rev. Al's shotgun approach to civil rights is despicable. Of course, with a shotgun you might hit the target once!

But, what about all the Chicken Little "The Sky Is Falling" race campaigns he and Rev. Jackson has led Blacks through?

People like Al and Jesse SURVIVE by making us think that racists are waiting around every corner! They got rich by using this trick.

Racists MAY be waiting around every corner! But, so are droopy-pants, uneducated, drug-selling, gun toting, Black thugs!!

Let Al and Jesse walk around that corner!
