Imus

Since I have not been on lately and wasn't able to comment on the Don Imus controversy sooner, I have decided to now. I think that Imus should not have gotten fired. He is a talk show host, and people watch him because they think he is entertaining. It's like music, a form of entertainment. Music artists are not filtered out, nor should Imus, or Howard Stern or whoever. If you don't want to watch it, you don't have to. Nobody is forcing you to. That's the great thing about America; freedom. However, slowly our freedom is being taking away.

I don't watch Imus, nor do I ever intend on watching him, but he should have been protected by freedom of speech. Plus, what he said wasn't even that bad: nappy headed hoes, who says that anyways? I think society overreacts on every little thing. If you supposedly let out an ethnic or racial slur, you are automatically a racist. I think that is stupid.

As for Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, they are probably the most racist and bigoted (I hope I used that right) people in America today. They go around trying to gain "respect" for the black people, but they are just a disgrace. They are big hypocrites when it comes down to it, and I don't think their ways should be appreciated.

That's just how I see it...
