American Hate

Okay! So Imus' simulcast was canned on MSNBC whoopti woo woo... It doesn't  really address the Racism and Sexism going on in this country. The issue, in my humble opinion, is bigger than that.
I deplore Imus' comment. I think he had it coming based on comments he made in the past. I've been around long enough to know that -- this was his schtick (so is Howard Stern) I heard their crap on local New York radio long before they went national -- The big picture is, as the Rutgers Coach said, "it about the green"  Obviously the powers that be condone this crap as long as it gets listeners and ad dollars. So what are we talking about here? Racism is alive and kicking in this country today. How come Imus is singled out?  When we have people like Neil Borts who called a Congress woman a "ghetto slut" -- guys like Michael Savage,(Let's not forget, MSNBC fired him too)  Rush Limbaugh, Bill Oreilly, Sean Hannity, Bob Grant, and that peon on Headline News spewing hate on a daily basis. Let's get real. If we are serious about going after hate and racist speech, then do it well. Let's not do a half ass job.
I hope our black leaders prick up their ears and do the right thing.
