"IMUS: That's some rough girls from Rutgers. Man, they got tattoos and --

McGUIRK: Some hard-core hos.

IMUS: That's some nappy-headed hos there. I'm gonna tell you that now, man, that's some -- woo. And the girls from Tennessee, they all look cute, you know, so, like -- kinda like -- I don't know."

Is this what you were referring to? This is unf*ing believable. Why is this the first I'm hearing about this? I'm outraged and disgusted. I've never watched the Imus show and now I never will. MSNBC will get an email from me.

Glad I don't watch that show. I know we don't like to hear this, but he's allowed to say whatever he wants.

This mf :rolleyes: No he didn't say some its like spike's lee's movie with the jigaboos and wannabees :Angry:

Yea he can say whatever he wants, but lets see if that same freedom of speech goes if I got on his show and called him a red neck, hon-ky that needed to go back to the plantation with that bull-sh*t. Man white folks everywhere would be up in arms and DEMAND an apology. So I don't see why we as Black people can't be pissed when such blatent, racist and disrespectful comments are displayed on an an alleged news channel that is supposed to not support that type of crap. So in a sense sis you're right, he can say whatever he wants but if he is bold enough to make those ignorant comments on tv, then he can expect people to be pissed anc comment about it. It goes both ways. :dunno:

i'm not surprised....

An ugly old crunchy b*****d like Imus ^^^ - who looks like he was birthed right out of a baboon's azz - has absolutely no room to talk about aaaaaaanybody's looks!

He and his angry-white-Neanderthal co-horts are simply low-life shock-jock idiots who say vile things about gays, females etc. on the regular.

ointlaugh: :clap:

My mom told me that he called Oprah a fat pig and that's after she had slimed down.

Sad and disgusting. The things people get away with. Yet when Janet's boob was exposed people were up in arms, demanded an apology, and fined the company(ies) involved with the event planning. Lovely America <_<

Oh...I never said we couldn't be mad about it. I guess in this age of people demanding (fake) apologies, I'm just sick of it. It really doesn't change anything. He's showing what an ignoramus he is, and he ought to be ashamed of himself AND lose his show....but me getting my blood pressure up over it so he can offer an apology he doesn't mean just doesn't make sense to me.

Actaully this guy has a history of racial spats and no one is going to do a thing about it. Do you really think this is his first comment like this? No. Not only that but he's been on the radio for sometime so that also speaks of his audience.

And by the way CNN is going to continue to have him on their show too. <_<
