Yup, complete and utter bullshit extravaganza. If I see one more person on CNN being asked "would you go back on Imus' show?" Im going to have an aneurysm. Imus shouldnt have lost his t.v. coverage, but he will probably get it back eventually anyway.
Fuck Al Sharpton.

Man, if I were Don Imus, I would take the money I had left, go on live TV to 'apologize' and then just say "FUCKKKKKK YOOOUUU" before retreating to a delicious cabin in the woods where I could live alone in solitude for all eternity.

Be still, O wand'rer!
Wait...what does "nappy head" mean then?
Is he referring to the 'napkins' that black people wear on their heads? For a while, I thought he was referring to them as having diaper heads, since nappy = diaper in limey english.
Also, the "ho's" bit got them in a twist. That bit is sexist.
So basically, he got double whammy'd with racist and sexist accusations and today he is unemployed.

man, all this time in the US, and you dont know what nappy means? it more or less means that their hair looks unwashed, gross, nappy. because black people hair looks kinda gross, and when they put them in those snoop dogg braids, they dont wash their hair for days.
nappy=funky, gross, unwashed, dirty
at least that's what it means down here

Have you ever seen a non-black person with "nappy" hair? And seriously, who the fuck do you think he was referring to when he said nappy-headed? Yeah yeah, free speech and all that crap, but it's not like that was some kind of punchline he'd been setting up, that just came out while shooting the shit about a basketball game. Public airwaves shouldn't be used to promote racism and sexism. This goes for all forms of media and all people, not just Don Imus. This excludes art, however, and unfortunately for probably about 75% of the people in this thread, rap falls under that category even though it may not seem like it to you.

haha whoa, when cultures collide.
Nappy, to my understanding, refers to what might be called an unkempt afro.
I have nappy hair if I sleep too long. Shit gets parted all weird and spelling bizarre letters like folded cheerleaders and poop.

Rutgers team: We accept Don Imus apology
By DAVID PORTER, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 2 minutes ago
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. - Rutgers women's basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer said Friday the team had accepted radio host Don Imus' apology. She said he deserves a chance to move on but hopes the furor his racist and sexist insult caused will be a catalyst for change.
ADVERTISEMENT
"We, the Rutgers University Scarlet Knight basketball team, accept — accept — Mr. Imus' apology, and we are in the process of forgiving," Stringer read from a team statement a day after the women met personally with Imus and his wife.
"We still find his statements to be unacceptable, and this is an experience that we will never forget," she said.
The team had just played for the
NCAA national championship last week and lost when Imus, on his nationally syndicated radio show, called the players "nappy-headed hos." The statement outraged listeners and set off a national debate about taste and tolerance. It also led to his firing by CBS on Thursday.
"These comments are indicative of greater ills in our culture," Stringer said. "It is not just Mr. Imus, and we hope that this will be and serve as a catalyst for change. Let us continue to work hard together to make this world a better place."
Imus was in the middle of a two-day radio fundraiser for children's charities when he was dropped by CBS. On Friday, his wife took over the show and also talked about the meeting with the Rutgers players.
"They gave us the opportunity to listen to what they had to say and why they're hurting and how awful this is," author Deirdre Imus said.
"He feels awful," she said of her husband. "He asked them, 'I want to know the pain I caused, and I want to know how to fix this and change this.'"
Deirdre Imus also said that the Rutgers players have been receiving hate e-mail, and she demanded that it stop. She told listeners "if you must send e-mail, send it to my husband," not the team.
"I have to say that these women are unbelievably courageous and beautiful women," she said.
Stringer declined to discuss the hate mail Friday. Rutgers team spokeswoman Stacey Brann said the team had received "two or three e-mails" but had also received "over 600 wonderful e-mails."
The team's goal was never to get Imus fired, Stringer said. "It's sad for anyone to lose their job," she said.
The cantankerous Imus, once named one of the 25 Most Influential People in America by Time magazine and a member of the National Broadcasters Hall of Fame, was one of radio's original shock jocks.
His career took flight in the 1970s and with a cocaine- and vodka-fueled outrageous humor. After sobering up, he settled into a mix of highbrow talk about politics and culture, with locker room humor sprinkled in.
Critics have said his remark about the Rutgers women was just the latest in a line of objectionable statements by the ringmaster of a show that mixed high-minded talk about politics and culture with crude, locker-room humor.
Imus apologized on the air late last week and also tried to explain himself before the Rev.
Al Sharpton's radio audience, appearing alternately contrite and combative. But many of his advertisers still bailed in disgust, particularly after the Rutgers women spoke publicly of their hurt.
On Wednesday, a week after the remark, MSNBC said it would no longer televise the show. CBS fired Imus Thursday from the radio show that he has hosted for nearly 30 years.
"He has flourished in a culture that permits a certain level of objectionable expression that hurts and demeans a wide range of people," CBS Corp. chief executive Leslie Moonves said in a memo to his staff.
Sharpton praised Moonves' decision Friday and said it was time to change the culture of publicly degrading other people."I think we've got to really used this to really stop this across the board," he told CBS's "The Early Show."
Some Imus fans, however, considered the radio host's punishment too harsh.
Mike Francesa, whose WFAN sports show with partner Chris Russo is considered a possible successor to "Imus in the Morning," said he was embarrassed by the company. "I'm embarrassed by their decision. It shows, really, the worst lack of taste I've ever seen," he said.
Losing Imus will be a financial hit to CBS Radio, which also suffered when Howard Stern left for satellite radio. The program earns about $15 million in annual revenue for CBS, which owns Imus' home radio station WFAN-AM and manages Westwood One, the company that syndicates the show nationally WFAN.
The show's charity fundraiser had raised more than $1.3 million Thursday before Imus learned he had lost his job. The total had grown Friday to more than $2.3 million for Tomorrows Children's Fund, CJ Foundation for SIDS and the Imus Ranch, Deirdre Imus said. The annual event has raised more than $40 million since 1990.
Imus' troubles have also affected his wife, the founder of a medical center that studies links between cancers and environmental hazards whose book "Green This!" came out this week. Her promotional tour was called off "because of the enormous pressure that Deirdre and her family are under," said Simon & Schuster publicist Victoria Meyer.
The Deirdre Imus Environmental Center for Pediatric Oncology in Hackensack, N.J., works to identify and control exposures to environmental hazards that may cause adult and childhood cancers. Imus Ranch in New Mexico invites children who have been ill to spend time on a working cattle ranch.

What the fuck is wrong with people? Why would you send hate mail to a college basketball team for being degraded? There seems to be a lapse in logic somewhere in there.

Haha this reminds me of a story I would like to tell.
2 years ago I am at work chatting with a chum on AIM (yea some work). He asks me if I would like to split the costs of a subscription to a magazine featuring scantily clad coonas, as a gag gift for a comrade who is hot under the collar for dem type. If you don't know what a coona is, just crack open webster, you'll see a picture of a nappy headed ho. Anyhow, I reply to the lad, "Fuck that I'm not going to contribute a dime to no my pals magazine!". And as I was about to press send, I notice that I was typing this reply in to the im window of my boss who I was simultaneously conversing with at the time. Holy shit would that have been awkward. Especially considering that she was an ardent liberal who so happened to be a lesbo.
HAHA shit...

I've noticed college campuses in general are notorious for their complete lack of free speech when it comes to unpopular opinions.
Go to a liberal school and try to be pro-Bush, not gonna happen. Conservative campus and you have long hair? Get outta here, hippy.
College kids are fucking idiots. I know I was when I was there, but at least I was too drunk to be taken seriously.
