Re: Should Imus resign?
I heard an interesting take today- and i'm still on the fence with this whole thing, while trying not to give a shit about it-
1. You hear everyone (including me) saying, "who gives a shit, this isn't a story." Overblown nonsense, shaprton and jackson agenda, etc etc. But what's pretty cool about all of this is that we've come this far- yes it's pretty trivial imo, but isn't it a GOOD thing that we're getting blown out of proportion over small insignificant racist comments? In this day, we've come this far that we won't even tolerate some douche on the radio who has said racist things for YEARS to say them anymore. Sign of progress imo, ( putting aside the two of the biggest racists in this story - Sharpton and Jackson. Can't believe those two get press...those two are still considered noteworthy, anyway, bleh.)
2. On the flipside- when we start censoring people this much we might as well be comunists.
3. i'm getting tired of hearing about it. and i'm also getting tired of it taking a week for people to be upset about stuff people say on public airwaves. Rush, Imus, Stern, etc. It's like it takes a few people to tell you you're pissed to be pissed. This story is almost two weeks old right? The heat didn't come for like 4-5 days, people had to MAKE an issue out of it. YES NOW I'M PISSED!!
Had stir fry for dinner, put WAY to many hot peppers in it...so i gotta go grow a liquid tail. L8.
