madmike1 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I know you've been closing threads about this Max but i just need to say how much of a JOKE it is. Imus is the FARTHEST thing from a racist and for him to be suspended for quoting a stupid movie line from a SPIKE LEE movie as a joke just shows how out of control these professional complainers like Reverend Al are...

ShadowJet35 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Regardless of whether it was a "joke" or not, it was uncalled for and racist, he used steriotypes as well as pure unadulterated blatant racism, that's like Steve Harvey on the morning show commenting on all of the NHL saying its a bunch of "No rythym, unathletic, tiny penis havin', pasty face, crackers runnin on Ice" and that its "Honkey vs. Honkey TOnk on the ice" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I guarantee you that Imus isn't a racist. He just made a joke that some people didn't think was funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Do not want us to get into political talk here but the one comment I will make is when you are a public figure with a wide exposure you will be under close watch and scrutiny for any comments you make. Take note of that at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just made a joke that some people didn't think was funny. Calling them Nappy Headed Hos, and saying that it was Jigaboo vs. Coon is a joke??? Whatever you think it might be it definetly isn't a joke.... Hey guys, it's gonna be Rangers vs Devils in the first round, its a bunch of little dick white boys against each other, its Honkey vs Cracker.. Oh I was just joking.

The Jigaboo line was a quote from a Spike Lee movie. They were trying to be funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasonJet Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Whether Imus is actually racist or not, it was a racist thing and more importantly incredibly stupid thing to say. He's a guy on national radio he should know better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, so it makes it okay because it was a "movie quote"? Okay, I'm going to go on the air and quote "For the Love of Life" "Oh, you tiny dick, pasty face cracker, why don't you go place hockey,golf,baseball or some $hit and leave athletic sports to us, damn honkey" Oh no it's okay I was quoting a movie.... Doesn't that make it right???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowJet35 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I have no problem with you saying anything you want. Your saying that now, but if you were part of a race that went through the equivalent of racism, discrimination and ultimate mental and physical slavery as that of african-americans, you don't exactly want to hear another racist making comments over the radio.

The Gun Of Bavaria Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Wow, I could shatter a record for locking threads this week. Look, we're not trying to put the kabosh on free speech and suppres opinions here, but we just don't want or need political discussions. The other mods and I have talked about in length and just feel that these discussions aren't needed on a football message board. They result in nothing but name calling and hard feelings which linger on and effect other areas of the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just made a joke that some people didn't think was funny. Robin Quivers seems to think that Imus is a racist. She has a first hand account of chasing him down the hallway after he called her a horrific word. Seems like his true colors just finally came out in public. The only reason we locked the original thread was because of the Sharpton comments which were deleted and uncalled for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
