Don Imus

Don Imus, a radio host on his morning show, has used words that can be considered both sexist and racist: “There’s some nappy headed hoes, right there.”

Those words went towards the Rutgers Women basketball team who just won a championship not too long ago against Tennesse. Now, people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are asking for his immediate dissmisal of his show off of MSNBC.

This can go either way, true that “freedom of speech” argument can be said about this situation, but that can only go so far. Also, there have been recent debates that if a black host made fun of white people in a racial manner, nothing would have happen to him: The Double Standard Theory. Lastly, there have been reasons that if Don Imus rioters are demanding for him to get fired, why don’t people like Rappers get the same treatment?

Should Don Imus get fired? IMO, no. Should he get punish? Yeah.

The only way this could be true is if Al Sharpton goes after rapppers who use the concept of misogynistic terms towards women. In fact, this is the type of situation where either everyone is wrong or everybody is right.

Also, where’s the apology from Jesse Jackson when he reffered to Jews as “hymies”?
