Racist jokes lack humor, spur hate

Abstract:
Racism is not funny, and nationally syndicated radio show host Don Imus is learning that the hard way.

Imus made racially charged comments about the Rutgers women's basketball team who played in the NCAA championship against the more traditional - looking Lady Vols....

Nappy headed ho... Isn't that what the Father of the black guy who "kept" Whoopie Goldberg on the Color Purple called her? As I seem to recall-->Just watched it last week.

When the Black Community starts to toss out the Black Music Industry who calls the African American Women "Ho's", then I would say its time for all Americans to stop this nonsense. Snoop Dogg and the rest of them, treat black women like trash, and THEY should be called on the carpet long before anyone should, but, nooooo let "THEM" get away with it and every black youth in America starts to think its OK, and that black women are nothing more than trailer trash.

Don't get on Imus unless you start looking at the "reverend" Jesse Jackson and the "reverend" Al Sharpton, the biggest racist I have ever seen in this Country who thrive on discontent between the races in order to "shake down" people for thier own agenda.

Jackson's "Himey Town" was "forgiven", because he is special? I don't think so. And Al Sharpton is his own joke that is happening in the scene. Each hate Whites like its no tomorrow.

So when Imus had to go in front of "them", its like Congress and the Ethics Committee with Ted Kennedy and his foils and the rest of the drunks and law breakers who comprise that board...its as big a joke on the American People as Sharpton and Jackson are to the Black Community.

Sure, its reprehensible that anyone would put down some one because of thier race, color, creed or ethnicity, as it empowers some one who belittles the others, and gives them a false sense of superiority.

No one is superior to another, nor should anyone "think" that they are better because of birthrights, and any other senseless things that maybe attributed to thier heritage.

Its going to take at least another 150 years before racism is gone or starts to wane in the back ground, and we truly become a blended Society.

I wish you well...

I want to ask you a question first: why is there a double standard concerning so-called rascist comments in this country? First I must ask is it really rascism, I don't see how Imus was discriminating against black people by calling some girls nappy-headed hoes. White people, dogs, and cats can have nappy hair and hoes refers to whores or if you listen to alot of hip-hop it would seem to refer to women. I have heard many men black and white say things like "let's get some hoes" or "lets fuck some hoes."
My second problem is that there is a double standard, I have never heard of anybody calling for the firing or persecution of chris rock, david chappelle, carlos mencia, al sharpton and the list goes on. It seems to me that black people just want to pull the race card and complain when in fact lots of people think rascism is funny; "Bigger and Blacker" by chris rock is hilarious and I believe millions would agree. If your movement against rascist white people not rascist black people is to have any integrity it should call for all forms of bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination to end and their supporters fired.
