I can't say that I feel sorry for him, though I question whether it was necessary.<BR/><BR/>He erred in not immediately requesting the opportunity to apologize to the Rutgers basketball team and the university itself. Instead he apologized to the media, which tells me that perhaps he was trying to placate his alienated listeners or he felt the writing on the wall.<BR/><BR/>He tried to use the media to put water on the fire, and it ultimately backfired on him--along with his Nappy Headed Hoes comment.<BR/><BR/>I believe that suspension was warranted. He was fired not because of his inflamatory comments, but because advertisers pulled out.<BR/><BR/>Seems like a mixed blessing. He's off the air, he's apologized, but their is friction from the firing. You have so many people that instead of dealing with the issue turn it into a chance to take pot shots at Sharpton or to justify Imus' comments by bringing by attacking rap music's lyrics.<BR/><BR/>Two different issues Meredith Vierra, two different issues.Excaliburhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13466835461498522100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33342738.post-89717940722862615832007-04-11T20:03:00.000-04:002007-04-11T20:03:00.000-04:00I completely agree with you T1.

OMG you don't even want to know how both Jews and Christians are depicted in Infidel, not by Ali herself, but everyone around her.<BR/><BR/>It makes you see that this world is ugly.Excaliburhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13466835461498522100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33342738.post-57335409788513837242007-04-11T19:55:00.000-04:002007-04-11T19:55:00.000-04:00Imus has been outed for the racist he is.

Howard Stern said he used to throw the N word around all the time,most specifically at Robin Quivers.<BR/><BR/>Im educated and im open-minded but I will say this. Show me someone who isnt prejudice and I will say he is liar. We are all prejudice in one way or another.
