Imus
Oh all the chatter online, on TV, on radio about Don Imus' racist comments.. Rev Sharpton and Jessie all out in outrage (and they should be, actually).
What he said is not funny, it's reprehensible but today rather than getting all up into the moral judgement of it all, I asked myself a bigger question: Who the hell cares what Don Imus thinks? Or anyone else for that matter?
You think about Michael "Kramer" Richards rant/tirade or any given rap song, think about the celebrities who spew some form of misogynistic or racisit rhetoric and we think that's destroying our society? Well maybe it is, but I'm actually more concerned about the racist rhetoric, the verbal and physical abuse of women that happen in homes across America where absolutely no cameras or microphones are present. What a wonderful world it would be if Rev. Sharpton could show up in a home like Spiderman everytime a young black woman is called a Nappy Headed Ho by her boyfriend, father or husband and he beat the shite out of him the way he's spending his time wailing on Don Imus.
I mean, honestly, who gives a damn what Mel Gibson, Don Imus, or Kramer thinks of black women? I could give a damn.
