IMUS: 'WHEN WILL SHARPTON APOLOGIZE TO DUKE PLAYERS'?
Thu Apr 12 2007 10:02:02 ET

Patrick Gavin with FISHBOWLDC reports on Imus's radio show this am...

Barely 12 hours after being fired from MSNBC...

6:12 AM: On Imus' radio program (no longer simulcast on MSNBC) this morning, Chris Carlin, who covers sports for the program, discussed yesterday's dismissal of charges against the Duke lacrosse players.

(rough transcript)


DON IMUS: When will Al Sharpton be apologizing to them?

(LAUGHTER)

CARLIN: I'm unaware of such a press conference.

IMUS: I'll be darned...

[jiveturkey]

That's a great point.

[stlchiefs]

AWESOME. I'm glad he's not just cowering in the corner letting people quick him while he's down. Wake people up and make them see that he's not the only one with shit that stinks.

[Iowanian]

Every one of those Duke players should have their asses on National TV decrying their outrage....and reading the list of media members who slandered their names.

This is honkyism.

[htismaqe]

ROFL

[chagrin]

Sharpton is one of the single most racist person in our country, about time someone says something about that.

[Chief Henry]

Good for Imus. I'm not a real big Imus fan. He always has left wing media hacks on. But I'm sure glad he's calling a spade a spade here.

When will Jackson and Sharpton hold a press confrence for the three Dule playa's ? Only when
HELL freezes over.

you should do something about this...according to my history book, wearing a bed sheet and burning a large wooden cross in his front yard is a historically accurate method of expressing displeasure with your fellow citizen...

you want to dress up as a ghost?

[Amnorix]

I don't think I"ve ever listened to Imus, but that is a very good point.

[chagrin]

Imust blows but he has a right to throw some shit right back at Al

[Iowanian]

You're right, the old dehydrated skin pickle in the cowboy hat should just sit back, take the high road and not point out the hypocricy of the guys riding him on TV for less disparaging statements than they've made themselves.

I wouldn't suggest that because then all we'd have is another riot and according to my History book rioting and pulling innocent people out of their vehicles and beating them with bricks also is a historically accurate method of getting back at someone as well.

I wouldn't want to be that person.

Rev. Al and Rev.Jessie should step forward to the Duke Lacrosse players as well as the FCC to regulate the black culture music.

Let's start giving our kids a better life, better music and better values to learn from........

[KCfanfromNC]

I completely agree. I live in Raleigh and this whole thing has been a joke of a circus since day one. Sharpton and Jackson should go on national TV or Radio and apologize to these guys a hundred times. But it will never happen, and no one will hold them accountable and that's what pisses me off about it.

By the way, I hope Nyphong enjoys being sued till next Christmas

The sad thing is, if you're white and poor, name another organization that gives a shit? I'm a white, heterosexual male of anglo-saxon descent. According to every minority group that has a nationally recognized, PC-fueled protective organization with a bigoted douche like Sharpton as a figurehead, I'm the devil, and the source of all their various problems. I'm also supposed to be rich (after all, how else could I be such a problem?). But apparently nobody in my family got the memo.

Agreed that many of the respondents here would be quite at home at such a gathering...

However, I said a couple of days ago that the women being portrayed as victims here likely had worse lyrics with the 'music' on their IPODS. That is not to defend Imus but to point out the hypocrisy of those using this situation to push all sorts of agendas.

I think is going to backfire on the hip hop industry in a big way. At some point I think many of us will be THANKING Don Imus before all is said and done. At that point these same people :deevee: about Imus' remarks are going to try to maintain that the attack on the h/h industry is a racist attack on their 'culture'...

watch and mark my words.

indeed, textbooks are wonderful things....apparently dropping hydrogen bombs is another culturally specific and appropriate way of registering your disagreement with the lifestyle choices of others...the next time my neighbor plays Garth Brooks on his deck radio I'm going to seriously consider the advice of pages 133-154..

I have no idea what you're talking about...but if you're telling me that white people are the victims in this county, well, how could I disagree with such a historically sound and factually irrefutable position...it is long past the time when we should do something about the persecution of the majority by the minority....let us end the reign of the powerless over the powerful...I say we form a group and try to get a white guy elected president, that will show those arrogant minority bastards what's what...White People Unite!

I understand what he's talking about, I applied for a promotion in the military, Green to Gold. A program for enlisted to become officers. I was told many time in the application process that I was wasting my time. See I didn't undestand the program was primarly used to get Minority officers in the system (because so many officers coming straight out of college were white). At one point I was told that I would not be accepted because I am white.

No one can argue away historical racism, it was brutally stupid. I think to correct the problem we the people in this society have to look in the mirror and say, "it stops here"

[recxjake]

In other IMUS news... he raised a $1,000,000 bucks today for charity....

Same here for me, although it was OCS.

[crazycoffey]

Yeah, that too. I just started looking into Officer Canidate School recently because I am finally finishing my degree. I gather the same, it's ok, I don't know that I wanted to go back in anyway.

I was also looking at a warrant officer program in the Reserves (CID, not pilot) but again, I don't know for certain that I want back in the military. Currently weighing the options.....


BTW, Donger, how did that turn out for you?

A system designed to promote less qualified applicants and deny better qualified applicants promotional opportunties based on skin color instead of merit?

Isn't that what America is all about? Doesn't our constitution gaurantee the opportunity to go as far as your hard work will take you unless we need a few more "minorities" to make our quota?

The point I was making, which I assume would be lost on angst-ridden liberal idiots, is that POOR white people have no one in their corner; certainly no one that has a credible voice. I hate to break it to you, spanky, but most of the poor people in this country are white, and have no more influence with the ruling elite than the average black project resident. But the last time I checked, there was no NAAPWP.

If I lose out on a job to a less-qualified minority based on the color of my skin, there's no Jesse Jackson-type I can turn to who will express indignant rage on my behalf. I'm just screwed. Oh wait, I'm white - that means I don't have to work because I'm filthy rich and descended from slave owners - but that's not right, since I'm descended from several generations of dirt poor farmers who busted their asses all their lives for next to nothing.

How is this an advantage again?

You believe in accountablility yes? Shouldn't you stand up and be counted for what you've said?

No, that's not acceptable, I know very well that you will never ever come out and say it for fear of being incorrect, basically you are a cowardly being. Maybe I haven't "been here" long enough for you but you still owe the people you accuse, the honesty and not to mention give yourself credibility by making a stand.

But I assume you will rather just hide behind your tenure and just continue the speculation and innuendo.


Personally I would rather be called a racist then be speculated about, be a man for pete's sake - stand up for yourself.

sorry, it was lame halfassed attempt to get you to talk more about your experience with that process.

It was 1993. I had just graduated college, became a citizen and took the OCS exam. I aced it, but my recruiter came in as pale as a sheet. He told me that "unless you're a woman or a minority, we can't accept you." He tried to talk me into enlisting and going mustang, but I wasn't prepared to settle.

So, I walked.

Part of me regrets that decision. Part of me doesn't.

But maybe not. I think I'll hop on my private jet and fly to Washington later. I need to discuss this with W. Since I'm white, of course, they'll let me right in to see him, I'm sure. I'll tell the secret service agents that the Talking Can sent me.

My condolences on the loss of your burst.

You said something patently stupid and, per usual, won't backtrack when exposed. Only nowadays you lack any skill in defending the stupid shit you say. So you continue with veiled innuendo that no one's buying.

Ah, but this is what the end result will be after of all the hysteria regarding Imus. While I don't necessarily want the FCC regulating any music, I would like to see something happen that encourages the genre to take a different direction. Of course, that is when we'll start seeing certain people defending the 'right' to use that language as part of the hip/hop and/or black culture. That is when things will get interesting.

4. You whine all the livelong day when someone intones that there are people who want the US to lose in Iraq, or are terrorist sympathizers. So you know it's corrosive and tacky, and don't pretend you don't.

where do you find the time??? :hmmm:

As far as your last delusional point. Give me a break. People have been roundly and repeatedly accused of supporting terrorists and wanting the US to lose without 'innuendo' on the board next door. Now it's a rather comical accusation seeing the US is losing and the supporters of the war are near extinct. Those insults really don't have the same sting anymore.

[Brock]

Absolutely.

LOL, yeah right.

[Baby Lee]

I would guess that the people who didn't want Imus to apologize probably don't want Sharpton to apologize either, given their consistent nature and whatnot.
Sooo, those who want Imus banned to the hinterlands want Sharpton similarly banned?

Since when was this about an apology? He apologized before it was even on most people's radar.

[the Talking Can]

so when are white people going to march on D.C. for their right to use the phrase "nappy headed ho's"?

Doesn't it bother you to know that she's masturbating over these posts?

Personally, I think she's being penitent for the racism of her relatives.
Who? I think I may have banned some bitch from MY Planet.

SHARPTON VOWS MORE: 'It is our feeling that this is only the beginning. We must have a broad discussion on what is permitted and not permitted in terms of the airwaves'..

On the contrary, it seems like Rev. Al is now the final word.
Anyone here think he means cracking down on Dave Chappelle and 50 Cent?



Me either.

[ROYC75]

In other IMUS news... he raised a $1,000,000 bucks today for charity....

IMUS: 'WHEN WILL SHARPTON APOLOGIZE TO DUKE PLAYERS'?
Thu Apr 12 2007 10:02:02 ET

Patrick Gavin with FISHBOWLDC reports on Imus's radio show this am...

Barely 12 hours after being fired from MSNBC...

6:12 AM: On Imus' radio program (no longer simulcast on MSNBC) this morning, Chris Carlin, who covers sports for the program, discussed yesterday's dismissal of charges against the Duke lacrosse players.

(rough transcript)


DON IMUS: When will Al Sharpton be apologizing to them?

(LAUGHTER)

CARLIN: I'm unaware of such a press conference.

IMUS: I'll be darned...

Good character definitions DO NOT apply to Sharpton. Haven't you heard? He can say whatever he wants. The rest of us can't because we are ALL racists in his world.

[HolmeZz]

Anyone here think he means cracking down on Dave Chappelle and 50 Cent?

Religous activists have banned Howard Stern.

Now PC blacks are ruining Imus.(tried to ruin Rush).

Chalk another one up for censorship in America.

That's over 2 years old, did he ever follow thru with it?

[ROYC75]

I don't think you'll ever see me defending Jesse or Al. They're both stooges. I was only responding to Roy's post about needing to regulate black culture so that they can have better music and values. ROFL


As funny as it is to you, seriously, something needs to be done. Kids now days hear what is preached to them, the music, the culture, the slang. They want it, they need it to fit their lifestyles but bitch, screem and moan when somebody says something and it is looked upon as racist.

Double standards ? Why is it any different coming from a white man, yellow man, pink polka dotted than it is if a black man says it ?

Yes,People want less goverment in their lives but how do you control this and still have open air waves, freedom of speech on TV and radio ?

[HolmeZz]

Read the date on the article: 2005. He really is making a difference. Go Al!

What a joke....

I didn't say he was making a difference and I don't believe he has any real pull. Just pointing out a fallacy in the notion that he hasn't gone after rappers or anybody in popular black culture.

[Frazod]

By the way, what the f#ck does "nappy" mean? :spock:

[KC Dan]

I understand what you are saying. But, I am stating that as evidenced by the date of the article and the fact that NOTHING has been reported, written or disclosed of Al's efforts, that I can only assume that he has done NOTHING. Unless the target is white - Al & Jesse play chin music. Nothing more & nothing less.

[crazycoffey]

By the way, what the f#ck does "nappy" mean? :spock:


several meanings.....

Function: noun
Etymology: obsolete nappy, adjective, foaming
chiefly Scottish : LIQUOR (http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/liquor); specifically : ALE (http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/ale)


Inflected Form(s): plural nappies
Etymology: English dialect nap bowl, from Middle English, from Old English hn[AE]pp; akin to Old High German hnapf bowl
: a rimless shallow open serving dish


Inflected Form(s): plural nappies
Etymology: napkin + 4-y
chiefly British : DIAPER (http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/diaper+)3


Function: adjective
Inflected Form(s): nap·pi·er; -est
Etymology: 3nap
: KINKY (http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/kinky+)1


I suggest mr Imus clearly define which definition he was referring to.....

He was obviously using it as an adjective.

[crazycoffey]

He was obviously using it as an adjective.


not so obvious...... but the definition should offer some entertainment from all of this.

[stlchiefs]

nappy: gross. see also: greezy azz chit

[crazycoffey]

Urban dictionary defs;



nappy
a word often used to describe one's hair when it is not straightened in some way(perm, relaxer, straightening comb), when one's hair is in small tight curls, could be used as an adjective to describe someone else's hair.

I need a perm, my newgrowth is growing out, and it is really nappy




nappy
one of African desent who has tightly coiled unkept hair; one with locks of hair that is tightly curled that is unwashed and uncombed

Sholanda has such nappy hair you can see her buckshots even after she gets a perm.

[HolmeZz]

As funny as it is to you, seriously, something needs to be done. Kids now days hear what is preached to them, the music, the culture, the slang.

You just sound like an old man with a false sense of moral superiority. Aren't you the guy who talks with his daughters about anal sex?

The Generation Gap between kids and adults has always been there and will continue to be there. You're just on the other side of it now. Despite what you might like to believe, you can listen to rap and actually have a sense of morality. Hell, I do. But that doesn't give me the urge to go act out what I hear in a song. There'll always be a few bad apples, but for the most part young adults aren't that impressionable. It's no different and just as stupid as blaming Marilyn Manson for the Columbine shootings.

If you really want to shelter society, you can't just zero in on popular black culture. You've got to get rid of all the other forms of entertainment that give off the same impressions(The Sopranos, GTA games, ect)

[|Zach|]

:hmmm:
Thats awesome.

[stlchiefs]

gross, greezy azz chit was right on with the urban dictionary huh?

[Baby Lee]

Nappy means tightly curled/fuzzy/kinky hair, originating in the term nap, referring to the short fuzzy ends of fibers from the middle english hnoppa, meaning tuft.

[stlchiefs]

It doesn't originate from the practice of curling into a ball when you take a nap?

As for the daughters, Yes, I am, I advise them of how I feel when it is mentioned,just like any father would. I do not approve of their choices they make and feel I should advise of what I feel about it.

FTR, yes, all music, TV programs, movies should be censored. If you teach a child about an alternate lifestyle while they are young, just imagine how they will be when they decide to make choices of their own.

[LocoChiefsFan]

The point I was making, which I assume would be lost on angst-ridden liberal idiots, is that POOR white people have no one in their corner; certainly no one that has a credible voice. I hate to break it to you, spanky, but most of the poor people in this country are white, and have no more influence with the ruling elite than the average black project resident. But the last time I checked, there was no NAAPWP.

If I lose out on a job to a less-qualified minority based on the color of my skin, there's no Jesse Jackson-type I can turn to who will express indignant rage on my behalf. I'm just screwed. Oh wait, I'm white - that means I don't have to work because I'm filthy rich and descended from slave owners - but that's not right, since I'm descended from several generations of dirt poor farmers who busted their asses all their lives for next to nothing.

How is this an advantage again?

Totally Agree! Therein lies the hypocracy. Rev. Al & Jesse zero in on the white shock jock and it is ok for them not to attack the entire problem. They even refuse to apologize themselves for unfairly convicting the Duke boys because they are white yet at the same time demand apologies from whitey and demand his firing because he defamed black female b'ball players. But, don't you dare equate that in any terms to the big record labels, media outlets, movie producers, or game makers for their hand in spreading hate and sexism because IT'S DIFFERENT. I love hypocracy, I really do.

[Iowanian]

The Radio just said that Imus was fired from his radio show this afternoon.

God I hope they find this worthy of a Friday show.

I believe he just said that so the government and sponsors equally judge people be they black or white(Imus or Sharpton)for the shit they say...

[Valiant]

I didn't say he was making a difference and I don't believe he has any real pull. Just pointing out a fallacy in the notion that he hasn't gone after rappers or anybody in popular black culture.


Well if you compare the two he hasn't, there was no protests, there were no public outcrying on television condemning them as vile people.. There was an article written on something he might do that he never did...

STEVIE WONDER LYRICS

"I Wish"

Looking back on when I
Was a little nappy headed boy
Then my only worry
Was for Christmas what would be my toy
Even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing
We were happy with the
Joy the day would bring

http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/steviewonder/iwish.html


This is the definition of the term that Imus was using. It refers to the hair of a stereotypical "black" person when said person doesn't take care of it. There are a whole line of products designed to make a "black" person's hair easier to manage. It's a common problem amongst young "black" people because kids don't take hygiene seriously. It's also a fairly common put down, implying that said person doesn't take care of their hygiene and that they appear disheveled.

If you need more entries in the Honky's Unabridged Encyclopedic Dictionary just let me know. I'm here to help.

"The news came down in the middle of Imus' Radiothon, which has raised more than $40 million since 1990 for good causes. The Radiothon had raised more than $1.3 million Thursday before Imus learned that he lost his job."

So CBS fired him while he was raising money for charity on the air? Good things from CBS.

FTR, yes, all music, TV programs, movies should be censored.

Uhh, then why are you complaining about Imus facing consequences? By your definition, he probably shouldn't even be on the airwaves to begin with.

[Mr. Kotter]

I think it's the hypocrisy of the situation that seems to escape you.

Many of us who are in dismay over this, are actually quite likely on opposite sides of the whole free speech/censorship debate.

I don't believe in absolute free speech, but I'm one that (despite what you may think, based on my politics) that would air on the side of "tolerance" in most circumstances. However, the standard ought to be the same for everyone. And whether we realize it or not, the threshold for a sort of social censorship has just been lowered.

Hip-hop culture just had a HUGE bullseye painted on them.

Oh, nice shot there with only half the info...............

My take is , why fire Imus if you are going to let the black gangsta, rap and culture do the same thing to their people ? That's being double standard in my book.

Should he have been suspended ? Yes, he took a topic to far, but not like the music that possibly these girls listen to. Chances are they do,if so, don't cry "WOLF " about it....... if they don't, good for them.

If we are going to watch, listen to the crap about calling people names in this society, don't play the race card and cry wolf !

If you want to clean it up, all of it needs censored....... something that is taboo with the american people..........

We ( the people ) are a victum of our own circumstances.

Somehow I doubt that if rap was permanently banned, you'd be calling for Imus to get fired.

You aren't about ridding society of filth. If you were, you'd be happy about any attempt to clean up the airwaves. You're not. You're just bitching about a double standard.

We just rented it last night. That's why it was the first song to pop into my head when I saw these Imus threads.

[Extra Point]

"The roster up at Rutgers
Filled with all 'dem nappy headed hoes
Imus dissed the sistas
Down the drain his microphone now goes
He'll be selling books, though
Signing at the mall
At every Barnes and Noble
He'll just have a ball...."

Wonder if Stevie could sing it this way....

[huskerdooz]

I would guess that the people who didn't want Imus to apologize probably don't want Sharpton to apologize either, given their consistent nature and whatnot.

I could be mistaken because I haven't read every word of every thread, but I don't recall anyone that didn't think Imus should not apologize. I do recall many that felt that an apology was sufficient though.

[Al Bundy]

I don't care about Imus but he is right, those 2 clowns should apologize publicly and privately to the players and their families.

[Mr. Kotter]

I don't care about Imus but he is right, those 2 clowns should apologize publicly and privately to the players and their families.

Did you all see the southpark episode where randy marsh is on wheel of fortune and accidentally says the N word and he has to appologize to Al and Jesse by literally kissing their asses? I love how Matt and Trey take things like that, and use it for their shows.

Personally i really think that all this race shit has gone totally awry. Everybody wants equality, yet when somebody of african descent gets talked about, they get help. When a white guy gets killed, its just a homocide that doesnt matter. This country has become way too damned hypocritical. This isnt a democracy anymore, its a hypocracy.....
