Al Sharpton.....when will it be enough???

[BlkBlzr01]

when the comments were made i think it was only jokingly. its nothing that a million other people would not joke about with they're friends. sometimes shit gets blown way out of proportion. the tone he was using when he said "nappy headed ho's" was in a joking manner. Al Shapton can take Jesse Jackson and the whole faggot rainbow coalition and shove it up their pee holes. before long its another situation that george bush had some kind of role in. its all bullshit

[mustard_madman]

Jesse Jackson called NYC and the Jews that lived there "Hymies"


Look that term up.


And guess what, he never apologized, plus he has an illigitiment daughter by one of his old secretarys. Stand up guy!!!

This is my first post here in a long time.

It is a comedy based radio show first of all. Second of all if he had called some white girls nappy headed hos, what would have happened? Not a damn thing. The fact that he is on the radio and tv does not make a difference other than he might be reaching more than some other people are. There's this little thing called the First Amendment and of course radio personalities are limited as to what they can say by the FCC. Other than that it should be open game to say what you want. And specially in the case where one race is ALLOWED to say a word or phrase, but once another race says the same thing all hell breaks loose. Not long ago when Sharpton was behind getting the word nigger banned there was no mention of rap songs, hip hop radio stations, BET, etc.... This is about more than an old radio jock throwing out a racial comment. If they are able to get him fired or whatever over this, then it will just fuel them to go even farther. Anytime ANYONE in the media says anything remotely tied to racism, Sharpton will be right there demanding 'justice'. It will keep going and going until all radio, news, magazines, comedy clubs, and tv consists of nothing but boredom. Jocks will be so afraid to say anything, the entertainment value will be lost.

and what more responsibility does he owe? And do you REALLY believe that those players were offended and outraged by the comment? Or that they EVEN knew anything about it? They could have cared less about the comment until people got to them and told them how big of a deal could be made out of it. Which is why they were not allowed to talk to any media personnel about the situation until they had their press conference. During the press conference the coach spent 20 minutes babbling about stats and the 'futures' of her players. She spent 2 seconds actually confronting the comment made by Imus. One girl called him 'Doug' Imus and said "What makes the comments worse is that Imus doesnt know any one of us personally" Meanwhile they don't know "Doug Imus" either, how can they judge him and the context he said it in? Again another double standard.

EDIT...I dont believe there should be a strike or al-out witch-hunt for what he said ...but there will/should be reprecussions

so you can have freedom of speech in your home or privately with your friends, but that's it? For a second let's agree that the comment was racist, hypothetically let's say it was MEANT to be racist. Why is the black community outraged and demanding a man who has had a radio career over 35 years to be fired when the same things and WORSE are said within the black community. You either get pissed when everyone says it or don't get pissed when anyone says it, not when one race or another says it. That's why the big deal is being made with this situation because of the double standards.

This is my first post here in a long time.

Rev. Jackson referred to Jews as "Hymies" and to New York City as "Hymietown" in January 1984 during a conversation with Washington Post reporter, Milton Coleman

In 2001, it was revealed that Jackson (married since 1962) had an affair with a staffer Karin Stanford that resulted in the birth of their daughter, Ashley.

As for Sharpton, research the name Tawana Brawley

Also Whoopi Goldberg made a statement saying she was pissed off and wanted Imus fired for his comment. However go back a few years when she was fucking Ted Danson while he was married. During an appearance at a Friar's Club roast, he showed up in blackface. When he was criticized for his 'racial' behavior, Whoopi was right there defending him, saying it was in joking fashion and no harm was meant. So how does she know demand the firing of Imus?

Bunch of damn hypocrites

Werd. I always knew I liked you form years back

[pirranah]

i didn't want to come in here, but curiosity got the best of me..... ****in nappy headed Al. help a brotha out...... bitch help a cracka out

[RedXtremeS10]

i just think its all crap! Black people can call each other nigg3rs but if a white person does it, its racist! And he called them nappy headed ho's but Ludacris made a song that the main course says " I GOT HO'S, I GOT HO'S IN DIFFERENT AREA CODES!!" WTF?!?! whats the difference.....i think its all stupid And i am only racist to a certain extent of black people. There are black friends i have that are the coolest ****ers i know and if someone called them a nigg3r i would be the shit out of them. But then you have the other ppl that are condsidered a nigg3r for example....some ****s that broke into my grandpa's house and stole his shit and threaten him and take advantage of him. And i know im rantin on but one last thing....blacks complain about living in the ghetto, but them and their people are the ones who are out stealing, in gangs, and causing trouble. You dont see that in many white communities because we arent stupid ****s

[bad03xtreme]

Some things never change. It just drives me crazy to see that the race issue will never die because black people know that it's the only thing they have left to hold onto. Even when there is no race issue at all they will spin it so there is an issue thus creating a race issue where there never was one to begin with. Therefore it will never end until they can learn to let it go and not start a march anytime something offensive is said. There will always be people that say questionable things, if they want to move past this then they have to learn to let things go.

[Layn Dime]

if whites had a millionman march (or whatever that walking shit is) whites would be racist or it would be considered kkk

[pirranah]

we have white trash, they have neegers.

[85S10Eric]

Kind of similar, but is anyone else annoyed by the insistence of the term "African-American" over the term "black" by politically correct people? As if "black" apparently is an offensive term. Well, I'm offended by "white" or "caucasian." I insist on being referred to as "European-American," nevermind that I wasn't actually born in Europe.

I mean, if you were actually born in Africa and then moved to America, then the term "African-American" does apply. However:

1. Not all people from Africa are black. There are plenty of whites and Arabs who live there as well, not to mention smaller groups of Asiatic people.
2. Not all black people are from Africa. There are something over 200 countries in the world, most of which are not in Africa. Black people can come from there too.

Im not suprised that they are pissed. nappy headed ho's is a pretty racist thing to say, joking or not. Yeah, you can say it joking to your friends, but you gotta know that if you say it on the radio your gonna have to pay. college coaches and people in sports always get caught saying stuff like that, and they say it wasnt serious, but you gotta be smarter then that.

As to what marty said about racism becoming a non issue, i believe it will die out. In most other nations theres not the deep seated seperation between white and black. I think that the reason it hasnt died out is because of the people that were around during busing like you said, and the other side is the whole glorification of crimes and "thug life". "thug life" was actually something that tupac brought up to show the world how bad the inner cities and places like that are, he even wanted to incite change; in reality, he just worsened the issue .Now you have kids growing up in compton who think that its the shit. Its gonna scare people when they see and hear about gang crimes and random drive by's, and then the fact that the news reports always show a black kid in cuffs is gonna cause people to create stereotypes and instill fear that all blacks/hispanics are dangerous.

I can't stand Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson either. Makes me mad when they try to take the smallest thing and make it into a race issue. I'm not going to even begin typing what I think about them in detail, I'll just leave it at that, lol.

Its amazing how much our gov't has given into them as well on this topic. I live in HUD housing(govt subsidized) and on their ethnicity form, you see african american, native american, and all the other politically correct terms, but then at the bottm they have WHITE, if that is not racist I dont know what is. I can say that most African Americans outside of the state of Arkansas are not as bad as most of the ones in it. Here everyone and their brother owes them everything, they are the gods that created this country and that type of stuff. The ones I have met outside of the state are not near as bad as that.

Just wait though, some day soon, we 'white boys' will be the minority in this country. Then maybe nobody will be allowed to call us anything but 'European-American'. How dumb..

[89lowerednewproje]

I think we should march on Jesse Jackson's and Al Sharpton's churchs on a Sunday morning, in the middle of services, demanding that Imus be reinstated to his old job, with a pay raise, not that he needs it, just for the hassle they caused him.

Ya know I cant stand those kinds of a$$hole like Al and Jesse. i didn't hear their stupid a$$es pipe up when Ron Artest socked that fan in the jaw and come to his aid. But as soon as someone goes and does something that could even potentially be considered "racist" (which what he said wasn't IMO) they want jobs taken or money or something retarded. Just like when Al Sharpton wanted money for some slave stuff that happened like forever and a day ago acting like he was there! Dude just wants a new car and another house. I even got into a heated discussion about this subject at work the other day. A guy that i work with (who is black) was discussing it with me and he told me to STFU and I dont know what Im talkin about because I said that the man doesnt deserve to lose his job because Al Sharpton is trying to make this out to be MUCH more than it
actually is. He also then decided to tell me that I was "walking a thin line" by telling him that Al Sharpton was money hungry for wanting money over that slave stuff and all he wanted was to go buy a new car a house. And then he told me
that I was trying to say that he was gonna go buy a caddy and put some big wheels on it. A$$hole was tryin to put words in my mouth and trying to make me sound like the racist. Im not a racist I hate everyone equally!!!

By DAVID CRARY, AP National Writer 1 hour, 35 minutes ago

NEW YORK - MSNBC said Wednesday it will drop its simulcast of the "Imus in the Morning" radio program, responding to growing outrage about the radio host's racial slur against the Rutgers women's basketball team.




"This decision comes as a result of an ongoing review process, which initially included the announcement of a suspension. It also takes into account many conversations with our own employees," NBC news said in a statement.
Talk-show host Don Imus triggered the uproar on his April 4 show, when he referred to the mostly black Rutgers women's basketball team as "nappy-headed hos." His comments have been widely denounced by civil rights and women's groups.
The decision does not affect Imus' nationally syndicated radio show, and the ultimate decision on the fate of that program will rest with executives at CBS Corp. In a statement, CBS reiterated that Imus will be suspended without pay for two weeks beginning on Monday, and that CBS Radio "will continue to speak with all concerned parties and monitor the situation closely."
MSNBC's action came after a growing list of sponsors — including American Express Co., Sprint Nextel Corp., Staples Inc., Procter & Gamble Co., and General Motors Corp. — said they were pulling ads from Imus' show for the indefinite future.
NBC News President Steve Capus said he made the decision after reading thousands of e-mails and having countless discussions with NBC workers and the public, but he denied the potential loss of advertising dollars had anything to do with it.
"I take no joy in this. It's not a particularly happy moment, but it needed to happen," he said. "I can't ignore the fact that there is a very long list of inappropriate comments, of inappropriate banter, and it has to stop."
NBC's decision came at a time when Imus' program on MSNBC was doing better competitively than it ever has been. For the first three months of the year, its audience was nearly identical to CNN's, leading CNN to replace its morning news team last week.
Calls for Imus' firing from the radio portion of the program have intensified during the past week, and remained strong even after MSNBC's announcment. The show originates from WFAN-AM in New York City and is syndicated nationally by Westwood One, both of which are managed by CBS Corp. MSNBC, which had been simulcasting the show, is a unit of General Electric Co.'s NBC Universal.
Bruce Gordon, former head of the NAACP and a director of CBS Corp., said before MSNBC's decision Wednesday he hoped the broadcasting company would "make the smart decision" by firing Imus.
"He's crossed the line, he's violated our community," Gordon said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "He needs to face the consequence of that violation."
Gordon, a longtime telecommunications executive, stepped down in March after 19 months as head of the <form class="yqin" action="http://yq.search.yahoo.com/search" method="post"> <input name="p" value="&quot;National Association for the Advancement of Colored People&quot;" type="hidden"> <input name="sourceOrder" value="c1,i,yn,c3" type="hidden"> <input name="c1" value="<p style=&quot;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-weight:bold;font-size:13px;padding:0;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:.5em;&quot;>National Association for the Advancement of Colored People</p>" type="hidden">

He said he had spoken with CBS chief executive Leslie Moonves and hoped the company, after reviewing the situation, would fire Imus rather than let him return to the air at the end of his suspension.
"We should have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to what I see as irresponsible, racist behavior," Gordon said. "The Imus comments go beyond humor. Maybe he thought it was funny, but that's not what occurred."
A CBS spokesman, Dana McClintock, declined comment on the remarks by Gordon, who is one of at least two minorities on the 13-member board.
The 10 members of the Rutgers team spoke publicly for the first time Tuesday about the on-air comments, made the day after the team lost the

NCAA championship game to Tennessee. Some of them wiped away tears as their coach, C. Vivian Stringer, criticized Imus for "racist and sexist remarks that are deplorable, despicable, abominable and unconscionable."
The women, eight of whom are black, agreed to meet with Imus privately and hear his explanation. They held back from saying whether they'd accept Imus' apologies or passing judgment on whether a two-week suspension imposed by CBS Radio and MSNBC was sufficient.
Stringer said late Wednesday that she did not call for Imus' firing, but was pleased with the decision by NBC executives.
She said the meeting with Imus was never designed to call for his removal but to give the women on the team the opportunity to meet with him and for him to see the people he had so publicly hurt.
"The young ladies and I needed to put a face behind the remarks... He needs to know who these young ladies were that he hurt," Stringer said.
Imus has apologized repeatedly for his comments. He said Tuesday he hadn't been thinking when making a joke that went "way too far." He also said that those who called for his firing without knowing him, his philanthropic work or what his show was about would be making an "ill-informed" choice.
The Rev.

Sharpton said in New York that he would put pressure on CBS but that the issue was larger than Imus.
"I think we also have to have now a broad discussion on how the music industry allows this to be used," Sharpton said. "I don't think that we should stop at NBC, and I don't think we should stop at Imus."
The Rev. <form class="yqin" action="http://yq.search.yahoo.com/search" method="post">



</form>Jackson said he planned to meet with CBS and NBC executives on Thursday with a delegation of other civil rights activists and lawmakers to discuss the Imus situation and diversity in broadcasting.
"Imus is on 1,040 hours a week and yet they have virtually no black show hosts. That is true for other networks as well," Jackson said. "We must raise the ethical standard for all of them."
At the Rutgers campus in New Brunswick, N.J., about 300 students and faculty rallied earlier in the day to cheer for their team, which lost in the national championship game, and add their voices to the crescendo of calls for Imus' ouster. One of the speakers was Chidimma Acholonu, president of the campus chapter of the NAACP.
"This is not a battle against one man. This is a battle against a way of thought," she said. "Don Imus does not understand the power of his words, so it is our responsibility to remind him."

I want to start the w.e.t. . white entertainment television .humm anybody think certain people wouldnt like my great idea to have a quality white programming tv channel....I hate these a holes watchin and listening to them talking all thier bs makes you hate them .If whites protested or rallied evertime a black did a racist thing or comment whites would be protesting every day of the year but no we are the racist

[Layn Dime]

yeah man im so with that WET but if we did that we would be racist.

[Xtremegurl]

Bullshit. These days everyone hates everyone. What about sucker free sundays on I think it's MTV? Hmm, I wonder what kind of sucker's that show is free of? If any group of people of any race want to see change in racism then they have to stop being hypocrite bastards. Never gonna happen, everyone at some point makes racist comments with a few exceptions I suppose.

[grndscrpr03]

FUCKING HORSESHIT!!!!


NBC are a bunch of corporate pussies, not to mention assholes. Not only did they buckle to Sharpton and fire Imus, but they did it the day his radiothon starts. They couldn't at the very least wait til monday when the suspension was supposed to start to fire him. They knew today and tomorrow was his annual radiothon. By taking him off MSNBC they are only gonna cause the donations to be lower than normal. Meaning the sick kids with cancer and other various sicknesses are the ones gonna suffer in the end. This is the 18th year he has been doing this fundraiser and the time of his firing is the worst decision those bastards could have made. Since 1990 this fundraiser has raised over $40 million. It just shows what kind of people corporate asses are, they only give a shit about themselves and will do whatever it takes to cover their own backs.

How exactly is all this supposed to bring races together? And who is next? They are gonna be going after more and more radio and tv shows now. There aren't too many things like this that piss me off, but this really did. FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC FUCK NBC

[grndscrpr03]

Them mother fuckers!!!! Imus right now is at the MSNBC studios doing his radio show because the radiothon was planned already. His is still being aired over the CBS radio shows, but not being seen on MSNBC. Instead of not giving him at least the 2 more days until firing him, they are now talking about nothing except Imus being fired. And instead of posting the phone number to call to donate to the radiothon, they are putting up a number to call and comment on the firing. Heartless fucktards!!!

If anyone on here happens to be interested in donating to this radiothon you can call 1-877-877-6464, or check out the radio station's website WFAN - The Fan - 18th Annual WFAN Radiothon This will be going on today and tomorrow as well.


Imus fundraiser goes on despite furor


By DAVID BAUDER, AP Television Writer 1 hour, 35 minutes ago

NEW YORK - Even as advertisers defected and politicians piled on, it was an internal mutiny within NBC News about Don Imus' racial slur that was key to pulling the plug on his MSNBC simulcast.

About 30 angry NBC News employees, many of them black, met with news division president Steve Capus less than 24 hours before Capus decided that a two-week suspension of Imus' morning telecast wasn't enough.
They said they'd had it with Imus' brand of coarse ethnic humor, capped with last week's reference to the Rutgers female basketball players as "nappy-headed hos."
"Within this organization, this had touched a nerve," Capus said Wednesday. "The comment that came through to us, time and time again, was `when is enough going to be enough?' This was the only action we could take."
Despite being banished from the NBC family, MSNBC faces the embarrassing problem of having the just-fired host broadcast his annual radio charity fundraiser from its studios in New Jersey.
The 18th annual Radiothon, which has raised more than $40 million since 1990, began Thursday with Imus making reference to the dangers facing his career.
"This may be our last Radiothon, so we need to raise about $100 million," Imus said at the beginning of the show Thursday morning, then chuckled.
"I've been running my mouth for 30 years and I've said some stupid stuff," he said. But this time, he continued, his remarks were "really stupid."
He said he had apologized enough and plans to meet with members of the Rutgers players. "At some point, I'm not sure when, I'm going to talk to the team. That's all I'm interested in doing."
The Radiothon runs through Friday.
His ultimate fate depends on the CBS Corp., which owns both the radio station WFAN-AM that is the host's broadcast home, and the syndicator Westwood One, which distributes "Imus in the Morning" to stations across the country.
CBS Radio, which has also suspended Imus for two weeks without pay, said it would "continue to speak with all concerned parties and monitor the situation closely."

Al Sharpton, who has sought Imus' firing, said he will meet Thursday with CBS officials." type="hidden"> </form> Al Sharpton, who has sought Imus' firing, said he will meet Thursday with CBS officials.
Bruce Gordon, former head of the NAACP and a director of CBS Corp., told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he hoped CBS would "make the smart decision" by firing Imus.
"He's crossed the line, he's violated our community," Gordon said in a telephone interview. "He needs to face the consequence of that violation."
A growing list of sponsors — including American Express Co., Sprint Nextel Corp., Staples Inc., Procter & Gamble Co., and General Motors Corp. — had said they were pulling ads from Imus' show indefinitely.
American Express spokeswoman Judy Tenzer said the company doesn't advertise on "controversial programming," while Sprint spokeswoman Sara Krueger said: "We do not want our advertising associated with content which we, our customers and the public find offensive."
Imus' program is worth a total of about $15 million in annual revenue to CBS Corp., through advertising on WFAN and syndication fees received from MSNBC and Westwood One. It wasn't clear how much of that total came from MSNBC.
Two black on-air personalities at NBC News, reporter Ron Allen and the "Today" show's Al Roker, had already publicly urged Imus' firing on Web log entries.
Allen said he didn't buy the argument that Imus was "edgy" and had hurled slurs at many others. "Personally, I don't think being an `equal opportunity' insulter makes this OK," he said.
Roker said he was tired of cruelty that passes for funny, humor at other people's expense.
"He has to take his punishment and start over," Roker said. "Guess what? He'll get re-hired and will go on like nothing happened. CBS Radio and NBC News need to remove Don Imus from the airwaves. That is what needs to happen. Otherwise, it just looks like profits and ratings rule over decency and justice."
Democrat Barack Obama (news, bio, voting record) on Wednesday became the first presidential candidate to call for Imus to be fired. "He didn't just cross the line, he fed into some of the worst stereotypes that my two young daughters are having to deal with today in America," said Obama, the only black candidate in the race.
Imus has apologized repeatedly for his comments. He said Tuesday he hadn't been thinking when making a joke that went "way too far." He also said that those who called for his firing without knowing him, his philanthropic work or what his show was about would be making an "ill-informed" choice.
Imus' program has been the only thing MSNBC has aired on weekday mornings for the 11 years of the network's existence.
MSNBC loses a morning show personality at a time when his show has been doing very well. Almost as many people had been watching the telecast of his radio show than the highly-produced newscast on CNN — leading CNN to dump its two morning anchors just last week.
Producing its own morning show will also cost MSNBC money at a time it has been cutting costs, but it doesn't have the threat of an advertiser boycott.
