Quotes About Social Media

Why all the flap about what Imus said? Is it who said it and not really what he said?

Don Imus said something stupid about the Rytger’s women’s basket ball team (he called them “nappy headed hos”) Now he is being fired by MSNBC and turned into a social pariah for these comments being constured as racist.
1. How is this a racist comment? Sexist-yes. Ignorant-Yes Wrong-Yes. But Is ho racial? Nappy Head racist?
2. Is the problem and uproar over these comments moreso because he (white guy) said it and less about what he said? Before you answer realize that Ludacris sold 500,000+ copies of an album that contained a song called “Yous a Ho”
3. Why does the media continue to look to race baiters like Jesse “Himey-Town” Jackson and Rev. Al “Tawany Brawley” Sharpton for their input on these issues?
4. Why is America so concerned with labeling individuals by race, religion, sex, political leaning, etc etc when we are all supposed to be equal and free?
5. How sad is it that one of the players would let these remarks “scar her for life? (Quote from Matee Ajavon)

well, nappy refers to black people’s hair, so it is kinda racist.

and yes, there is no doubt a double standard when it comes to racial slurs. White people are not allowed to use any.

The media doesn’t necessarily want to look to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, but they are both media attention whores, and they get themselves on tv by jumping on any bandwagon they can find.

Honestly, we are not equal. People all have differences. The key is to embrace those differences instead of discriminating against them.

I would guess that player is just a drama queen.
