Then like I said above, Fox News looked high and low to find a "black" guy they could use for their rating who would take an extreme position.

What hostility? Are you talking about Jackson and sharpton and a few other media "ho's"?

I'm still trying to see what part Imus's comment brought in race. The word Hos isn't racial it is sexist. Nappy haired could be racist but i'm not so sure i'd consider that to be a racist comment.
The team was either all "black" or mostly "black", and you have a "white" guy commenting on how they look and their sexuality in a derogatory manner. That's the race part.

Look at hip hop lyrics and tell me there isn't plenty of anti-white lyrics.
Look at acid rock, or any other form of protest music. Music is music. Direct personal attacks are different.

In addition the KKK is derided for what they say (rightly so). I'm deeply offended by the KKK and have no sympathy for them one bit. I think they are racist bigots and are more worthless than a cockroach.
Plenty of people deride "gansta" rap.

They are working harder to protect her rights than they are mine.

How is that fair?

And how can someone who speaks out saying, "Imus said.... and needs to be fired." And sit there and smile and say, "She called you a devil worshiper... get over it.... she harasses you get over it... she's black and 70 and will sue and win . You're a white male, who can't afford a lawyer.

If calling one person something is wrong.... then any negative labels are wrong and the people who speak out against one label need to speak out against ALL labels, regardless of who is getting labeled.

Your bosses are p*ssies. It is sad that you have to pay the price for that. Have you gone to higher levels? Can you get the lady on video tape? Try going to the media, like Jessie and Al. Organize your co-workers and stage a walk-out until your bosses get it together. There is plenty you can do, including going to work for people with a backbone or just ignore the lady.
