By now a conservative radio host making disparaging remarks about minorities should not be a shock. However, the reports from the Associated Press stating that Imus, from the nationally syndicated Imus in the Morning radio program called the women of Rutgers basketball team “nappy headed hoes” should shock all of us. I’m sure many have not read this article (I only stumbled upon it during my daily reading of Race in America now called Race and Ethnicity tab on MSNBC) and my fear is that this... Read Full Story
I realize that this posting has nothing to do with the American Revolution, but I don't care. Racism, no matter what its form, is completely unacceptable and MUST be called out. Here is a perfect example of what I am talking about: Earlier today, radio personality Don Imus, who has had previous problems in the past -- specifically for calling Rutgers women's basketball team a bunch of "nappy-headed hoes" -- YET AGAIN put his foot in his big mouth. While discussing the ongoing legal problems... Read Full Story
New York, NY – In more than 20 major U.S. Cities, protestors led by Civil Rights Activist Reverend Al Sharpton to protest the rise in offensive language in Hip Hop music. The "Day of Outrage" took place in several large cities such as New York, Detroit, Los Angeles, Houston, and Chicago amongst others. The purpose of the protest was to demand a change within the permitted use of language (eliminating the usage of the words "bitch," "hoe", and "nigga") within the recording industry. With the...

Confirmation of that question may have come during a debate, Monday, when the Reverend said the following about Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney: "As for the one Mormon running for office, those who really believe...

So, by now the other news outlets and blogs have picked up on the "Nappy Headed Hoes" Imus comment that I posted on Saturday. Now everyone is so "outraged" including the Reverends Jackson and Sharpton, even the NAACP has called for his dismissal. Interesting that there is no talks of rehabilitation or education only termination. When did we stop educating? And why is the answer now "to get rid of the problem"? I always thought problems were solved not thrown away because they will come back... Read Full Story
Rapper Asher Roth has seemingly gotten himself in a bit of controversy over comments posted on his Twitter blog. The rapper supposedly, attempting to make a joke, selected a possible poor choice of words when he allegedly wrote “Been a day of rest and relaxation, sorry twitter - hanging out with nappy headed hoes.” This was around the time Roth also made another comment, “At rutgers stirring up a suckus,” hinting that the rapper made the controversial comment “hanging out with nappy headed...

Don Imus is one of the most controversial radio hosts in America. Despite, or maybe because of, this he doesn’t seem to have any trouble getting his own show and getting paid handsomely for doing what he does.
The shock jock was fired by CBS and MSNBC a couple of years ago for calling Rutgers University women’s basketball team, “nappy-headed hoes” and “jiggaboos.” So he seems a perfect fit for FOX.
Strangely, Imus has been given a job on the FOX Business Network, despite him not... Read Full Story
Don Imus, the radio host who caught a lot of heat last year for calling the Rutgers University women’s basketball some “nappy headed hoes,” is back at his racist rants again.
Months after returning to the radio with a pledge to mend the wounds caused by his past comments, he is once again defending on-air remarks regarding race.
During an on-air conversation Monday (June 23) about the arrests of suspended Dallas Cowboys cornerback Pacman Jones, Imus asked a co-host, “What color is he... Read Full Story
