Imus, Imus, Imus. So you had to go there? By now all of you know what he's said, have heard his apology and have read that's he's been suspended. Well here's what TBW thinks:
HE NEEDS TO BE FIRED BUT ONLY IF WE STOP DOWNLOADING ALL THE MP3s AND STOP BUYING THE CD'S OF RAP/HIP HOP ARTISTES WHO REFER TO US (BLACK WOMEN) AS HO'S IN THEIR SONGS! BECAUSE IT ISN'T ANY BETTER, INFACT IT'S WORSE (IN MY OPINION) WHEN BROTHERS DEGRADE US LIKE THAT. AND HERE'S A QUESTION HOW CAN WE EXPECT SOCIETY TO TREAT US FAIRLY AND REGARD US THE SAME WAY THEY DO OTHER WOMEN FROM OTHER RACES WHEN OUR OWN MEN ARE DISRESPECTING US JUST AS AND IN SOME CASES MORE FREQUENTLY AND WORST THAN IMUS HAS DONE!
Of course I'm appalled and of course I'm want a piece of him for disrespecting my sisters like that and the fact that these racist, and yes I think he's racist (michael richards is racist, mel gibson...all of them in fact are racist) can get away with stuff like this and that all they have to do is apologise sickens me! And then they have the audacity to claim they don't know why they did it or they were just angry. Yeah right!
I'll tell you this no matter how mad I've been at a white, asian, native american yes I know it I've probably had a beef with somebody of a different race..lol I've never, ever, ever used a racial or deragotory slur! I don't use them, don't tolerate them around me and I don't believe anyone who says anger makes you so dumb things..yeah it does but not that dumb!
And you know what else if he or anyone else thinks that by appearing on Al Sharpton's show and talking to Jesse Jackson somehow 'makes everything alright' and after appearing on their shows black people will magically bring you back into our fold...let me tell you this..you got another thing coming! Because although Sharpton and Jackson have done a lot for the black community, young black people aren't as linked to them as our parents.
We know them but they don't speak for us and it says a lot for our community that there is such a void in youthful oriented black leadership that these two men are still considered part of the top echelons of black America. I hope to change that one day..but that's a story for another day.
Anyway, to end this let me just add this, the next time and believe me there will be a next time some famous idiot out there decides to go on a tirade and then is pressured to say sorry to us black people. One, say sorry right after you do it, don't wait until days later then to say sorry, it isn't authentic or at least doesn't appear to be authentic when you do that and don't make the rounds on Sharpton and Jackson shows because to be quite honest their shows aren't reaching the bulk of us try something else maybe a prime time network apology on CNN or BET or NBC pay some money to get the message out there that works a whole lot better..believe me..and you know if you want to avoid doing these things all together..here's a bit of advice..THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK!!
