NEW YORK - Don Imus has once again injected race into his radio show. During an on-air conversation Monday about the arrests of suspended Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones, Imus asked, "What color is he?"
Told by sports announcer Warner Wolf that Jones is "African-American," Imus responded: "There you go. Now we know."
Civil rights leader Al Sharpton issued a statement calling the exchange disturbing "because it plays into stereotypes." He says his National Action Network was still deciding how to respond

It's tough being under a microscope, especially when one has a group just LOOKING to be offended!!!

I am offended just looking at that ugly greaseball racist huckster. That even before he open his big fat chops.

I never paid much attention to Imus. The best thing that ever happened to him was Howard Stern made fun of him in his book and movie.
All Imus ever does is mumble while his on air crew laughs at every dumb thing he says, or mumbles.

I used to catch it on MSNBC when getting ready for work.
Sometimes Imus was ok, or there would be a good interview, but the co-hosts always seemed to make the show for me...I also liked the guy that read the news...
Imus and his wife do alot for sick children, that goes a ways with me.

He says his National Action Network was still deciding how to respond
What that really means:
"He says his National Extortion Network was still deciding how much this would be worth." :whatever:

They have a formula for figuring that out. Imus may or may not have offended a black, brown, light, bright, damn nye white African so that's X amount of money. Imus didn't use the "N" word so that's a -Y amount. No mention of nappy heads, so that's a -Z amount. No mention of ho's so that's minus a constant $100,000.
so X-Y-Z-$100,000=dinner at a nice upscale place for Jesse and Al ......or lunch specials all-round at Macky-Dees if their girlfriends and illegitimate kids tag along.

I don't think Sharpton could inflict any damage now that Imus is on Sirrius! Can he?

Sharptongue has the IRS peeking in his files right now.

I think Sharpton plays into steroetypes of black men named Reverend.

I have listened to Don Imus before and find that he is hackneyed and should have left radio a long time ago. He is so unfunny and his time is up. He has made a lot statements that could be viewed as racist WAY before the Rutgers remark. Racist or not, that is uncalled for in the name of sportsmanship. Insulting a team that lost in a NCAA tournament is not cool. Not something I would like to hear. The thing is it happened at a slow news time around Easter.

He could be queer for them. He looks the part.
I don't car for Imus; his mumbling is disconcerting.
