The declared rational of modern political correctness is to protect people from being offended by what others might say about them; i.e. to compel everyone to avoid using words that may upset homosexuals, women, non-whites, the crippled, the stupid, the fat, the ugly, or members of any other group who find particular words or statements insulting or offensive.

Don Imus made a racist and sexist statement.

Then he apologized.

That wasn't enough to satisfy people who were upset by his non-PC statements. They continued to apply pressure until Imus was fired.

I imagine Imus will be replaced by someone who will never ever never never uh uh no no never ever make a single non-PC racist or sexist statement.

I think I am going to write and publish a book about how Nappy Headed those rutgers ho's are!!!

Yet all of these worthless fucking groups, feel it is okay to make fun of the white man. It is BS. Bring on the after math of peak oil. Let see how PC these groups are going to be, when they are fighting for their fucking survival.

You guys don't get it, Imus getting fired was a badge of honor. Howard Stern was fired from one job after another until he found a venue where he could be free. Imus will be on Sirius or XM next.

Blacks have to address rap artists, entertainers like Whoopi Goldberg, and how they address each other. It's the ultimate hip-hop-racy.

[Plantagenet]

The MSM and the people who were so upset with Imus don't boycott black commedians and rap artists who call each other the N-word and call women "ho" and such, so its OK.

Don Imus was not fired because he made racist comments.

He was fired because the companies that normally sponsored his program every day decided to send their advertisement dollars elsewhere thanks to pressure from people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

Granted, Jackson only pressured the sponsors because Don Imus made a dumb comment, but CBS itself doesn't care about racism.

CBS cares about money and Imus allowed his show to become unprofitable. Ergo, his show got canceled.

Imus was very profitable for the both the radio and TV networks that carried him.

The Imus firing shows how great the power of "political correctness" is over public speech in the U.S.

Imus didn't DO anything racist....he just SAID something racist. And then he apologized.

Nonetheless, he was fired just for saying something that wasn't PC.

Don Imus is in trouble for speaking like a black person and as we all know there is nothing more vulgar than black slang. At least, that is the message that I got.

Hey, the guy should feel fortunate he wasn't in Europe. Calling people 'nappy headed ho's' in Europe will generate a jail sentence.
