i'm bored a bit this am...i thought i'd let this imus shit fall away, but here i am.
by the same token, one could argue that imus has been a radio personality for years, and that he's got enough background to appropriately label people as "nappy headed", and as "hos". i don't really dig the mormon faith much, as it does sound a bit crazy as shit to me. then again, the other flavors do as well. however, i don't think the fact that the rev is an ordained minister makes his comments more qualified or less derogatory. i mean, if i'm a grandwizard in the kkk, well versed in all my 19th century writings on the inferiority of other races, can i now call someone a "nigger" or a "spic" and then say, 'ahhha! i have qualified myself to make these comments." or can i speak in public about how other races are just a little more ape-like, perhaps not quite as dexterious with their opposable thumbs, how slavery and the like are the great benefit of other races to be in proximity to our Divine awesomeness...and not have those comments come off as perhaps mildly racist?
so i think this is a case of pot calling kettle black, and kettle calling pot black with crazy-ass hair.
