He reminds me of the men I grew up around in the midwest. Tough, outspoken, no-bullshit people who call it like it is. I've mentioned this in another thread, but I'll repeat the point since I, apparently, have little better to do. I see people like Imus and other comedians of the same ilk the way I view the court jesters and fools from the Middle Ages. Fools played an important cultural role in their ability to say anything about anybody with impunity. They were unique, for example, in that they could make fun of Royals without fear of punishment. This is an important role of humor or comedy as it serves as a way to expose societal truth, values, and unspoken knowledge in the guise of amusement. Shutting down our fools is shutting down our ability to laugh at our common pain which is vital to cultural healing. FAX |

In my opinion, it was more sexist than racist, but either way it was stupid. He was suspended which was fitting (again, in my opinion) Then Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton started a crusade, and he lost his show. The issue (for most) is how these two men who seem want to represent black America can be so outraged by what Imus said, while ignoring similar slurs and insults in hip-hop music. Personally, I don't have a problem with Imus being fired. He worked for a company, and he cost that company money when sponsors like GM pulled out. That's economics. It's the way our world works. But... don't do it because tools like Sharpton and Jackson threw a bitch fit. |

between the Sharpton/Jackson BS hypocrite about this.
The "wreck" of the NJ govenor trying to get photo op.... The basketball team. Nappy or not....sounded "genuine"..... I imagine Imus will be in for a nice vacation from work. and likely not miss it. His choice to come back somewhere else later in life. |

A reminder from someone would be greatly appreciated. What was the name of the band that went to court to defend themselves for influencing some young person to either kill themselves or someone else? Does anyone recall this incident?
