Don Imus Already in Trouble Over New Racist Remark?

Some people never learn ...

Last year Don Imus lost his job over his "nappy-headed hos" comment regarding the Rutgers women's basketball team, which he made in April. He got his job back, or should we say, got a new job last December.

Don Imus is white, so clearly he cannot say what lots of entertainers of other races have been saying on television and radio for years and getting yucks. Its reverse racism at any length. Because Don Imus is not black or any color other than white, then it just isnt funny or legal. If Rev. Al Sharpton had made the remark, nothing would have been said one way or the other, For instance Don Imus called Oprah Winfrey a racist because of her agenda, and other entertainers as well, calling them hypocrites. As if he isnt one himself. Lets face it. No more bullshit, everyone is a racist, everyone is gay and everyone is a liar or a thief or war monger until proven otherwise to level the whole playing field. Or Don could have just kept his trap shut, believe whatever he wanted to believe and refused to share it with younger impressionable listeners, because that is how racism spreads and festers, on ignorance, fear at its very core. One day the whole damn planet will be one color, one race, etc. Racially we will all be a mixture of all the genetric traits and attributes that exist on this earth, it is destiny for our children to either adopt the narrow views of their elders, suffer from the ignorance of their parents or step beyond it and move on into the future with tolerance and understanding. Don Imus might be a dumb ass, but he is a symptom of a larger problem that exists here all over the world, he just isnt a hypocrite about his racism or political views. People in the public sector have a duty to try to stay within some sort of boundries so they avoid promoting a racial, political or sexually motivated agenda...or is that wishful thinking.
