Page 2's Todd Boyd tells us what he thinks about the Imus situation

No, he's like many other posters on these boards.... a coward. And that's the sad part. He doesn't know that he's one.

 

The contempt here for Dr. Boyd reminds me of Malcolm X's line about what you call a black man with a PhD.
Just sayin'.

 

How does it show ignorance Boots? "Doctor" Boyd tells us that there is nothing wrong with hip hop music.

I think these lyrics are a prime example of what is wrong with the genre of hip hop called Gansta rap.

I did not write the lyrics.

Chuck if you are so insulted by the lyrics here why are you not insulted when you hear them on tv or radio?

 

Who is he? He is a respected sociologist in the vein of Harry Edwards. Do you know who he is?

Mr. Boyd has been a guest on many ESPN shows discussing import social aspects on sports.

It is called expanding your source base, instead of calling Al and Jesse for an opinion.

That's who Todd Boyd is.

 

Unless you say that word to African Americans in conversation, you are a coward. You get on an anonymous board and say a word you wouldn't dare say to someone in their face. What do you call it?

 

Damn, I couldn't have said that better.

 

So let's get this straight unless you are african american you are not allowed to quote rap songs that carry the word nigga? What about the word ho?

 

Boom, we don't have the same right to yell slurs with impunity that our grandfathers had.
Get over it.
Jesus.

 

What about the word ho? What?

What does the n word mean Boom? The word is used to refer to dark skinned people.

 

Its in a song

How is it a slur?

 

Missing the point by the usual hectare or so.

 

Boom, you want to be a jack ass, that's OK by me. I'm the ultimate ass. But I DARE YOU to say those lyrics to an African American. If you can't, and you're white, you're a fucking coward.
