I'm so sick of all this racism crap! If you don't like it, don't listen to it.

If Pacman or Sharpton want to get mad at someone, they need to look at the thugs that are running around in the black community that are ruining everyday life for everybody else.
Well said sir. Someone should really pay attention to which race is more racist. And which race is more demeaning toward itself. Listen to Cris Rock sometime if you want racism. Then listen to Bill Cosby and see who you would rather have as a spokesperson for his race.

I agree. Anyone who was legitimately offended by this needs to learn to take a freaking joke. This whole situation is ridiculous.

can't stand him, he is a bitter man who has serious problems. The sad thing is some people are drawn to watch and listen to people like him. It's just like people who slow down at wrecks hoping to see the mangled wreckage and then cringe hypocritically when they see the gore that accidents produce.

I do on occasion, he has good guests, relatively intelligent discussion, basically a polar opposite of the laugh tracks and fart jokes that dominate morning radio.

I heard it several times plus his comments this morning.

He was suggesting he had been arrested 6 times because he was black - profiliing. Dumb statement but he was saying blacks are profiled and arrested more.

BTW - I'm not an Imus fan.

Too late for Imus, he has been cast into the role of one of the guys on a particular episode of South Park.

that's not what it sounded like to me despite his explanation. i didn't think the rutgers thing was a big deal, but their were pretty strong rumors of him being a racist before the rutgers thing happened. stern for instance said he heard imus refer to a secretary by the n-word when he was at NBC. he's a sad old man. time that we stop paying attention to him and all this will go away.

The whole situation is ridiculous . . . Imus trying to play it off with a dumb excuse and actually pretending he has any credibility . . . Sharpton playing the role of the racial ambulance chaser and pretending he has any credibility . . . A guy who has been arrested 6 times being cast in the role of the "victim" and piously stating that he is "praying for Imus" as if he has any credibility. All that's left is for David Duke to come along and offer to mediate the situation.

I feel like if Pac-Man took Don and the Lady Rutgers players to a strip club they'd really be able to work through a lot of their issues.
