    I thought he made some good points.


    P.S. I really didn't want to start another Imus thread but I could put it. :D

    Page 2 was in need of a literate black voice with cred, so it leaned on a Dr.

    Day late and a dollar short, Todd. This needed to be written Friday. Maybe next time.

    He's someone with an opinion. What's wrong with that?

    Why should I care about his opinion? I've talked to tons of people who had opinions about this. They didn't end up on Page 2.

    It's an opinion. Everyone has one. I see nothing wrong. The problem might be for some is that they are either jealous he got an opportunity to get on Page 2 or that he said something that struck a nerve. Other than that, it's an opinion. Treat it as such.

    Boom, post that shows ignorance. I doubt you would have the courage to say those lyrics at any African American. Why post them?

    Because Boom is a studio racist.
