I don't believe Imus had that insight into the very specific girls on Rutgers team, and, therefore, had no reason to use that term for a group of college kids representing their school.

I don't see this as a race issue, as others do. I see it as saying something very demeaning about someone that the "author" didn't know.


Just curious, do you own any R Kelly, NWA or Ice Cube CD's?

Imus shouldn't have said what he did, and we can forget about race, but it's the double standard that's at issue here, isn't it?
