Did Imus talk about the Rutgers women's team?

Nah, I think I made my point.

yes you have. We're all very happy that you are so proud of being the biggest racist and asshole on this board.

Which, quite honestly, is not an easy battle to win.

It's a tough one, esp. with Yawn and some of the other assholes on here, but I think dignan pulled out the victory today.
 
Hey, at least I'm not a hypocrite. I can live with that. I've also never said anything remotely racist, but that didn't stop some of you from making that snap judgment.
 
Poiint beingh what, Chuck?

That O & A are now the barometer of tasteful and/or acceptable?

So saying it's cool to call black women nappy-haired hos is not remotely racist..... wow!
 
dignan, this will be the last thing I say here because I'm not going to get dragged down into what you obviously see as acceptable behavior.

But saying that it's fine to get on a radio show and call young women "nappy headed hos" and "jiggaboos" is, in fact, racist.


Edit: spnited beat me to it.

Some of their stuff is funny. But some of the other stuff they have on there is kind of dumb.

First, Imus never said jigaboo (nor would I), and I posted that I didn't condone the use of that word. That to me is a racist term. The producer who used it was referencing a Spike Lee film. Ho is not racist. Nappy-headed is not racist.
 
Nappy headed is most certainly racist. It refers specifically to the hair of black people. Go say that to black woman and watch what happens to you.

Ho is a derogatory term for a woman.

Try again.
