    • It is so wrong that white america is fearfully of saying something that might be considered racist. Either way its called freedom of speech and plus thats the advantage of being a majority of people that created this nation.

      If your a minority and find everything thats true about your race to be offensive then please do us all a favor and get the hell out....maybe then i wont have to pay for you to sit on your ass!

  • Where's the line between political correctness and social cowardice? What causes a lifestyle to be equivalent to minority status?

    Without the Imus of the world, we get bullied into accepting ideas and patterns of behavior that 40 years ago we knew and accepted as immoral, illegal or insane.

    When guys like Imus can no longer speak; every minister will sell miracles, every politician will give in to the drug companies, and our economy will be an illusion. Oops!-Imus, you should have spoken up sooner.

  • Some idiots don't learn and I don't mean Imus, the "King of all idiots". I mean the ones that still stand up for this old racist fool.

  • Naomi Campbell pitches another rage and she's the victim?

    Maybe Imus is just protesting bad behavior being excused because of race, creed, color, religion or sexual orientation.

    Did ya hear the one about the TV host helping a woman determine which of 13 to 15 men was the father of her child because she was a victim? Now whose the idiots.
