Why are we as a race demanding our pound of flesh?

We took the man's job and his dignity and yet we have people like Faye Williams and a woman named Jackson coming on TV and blaming Imus for every sin that has ever been committed against the black man. What have they done for the race?





If I ever saw a white man grovel, it was Imus. He was truly repentant. Even after losing his job, he was willing to meet with the women at Rutgers and apologise and yet we want to demonize the man for a stupid remark he made, which was to my mind without malice. And yet we have our own killing us off like flies.





Imus has been made a scapegoat of, and my heart goes out to the man. Not that he was a saint. Sometimes for days at a time I would not even listen to him, but I thought we had a more forgiving heart.





I only hope when the shoe is on the other foot we wont squeal too loudly. They can always trhrow me off here. I am speaking from my heart.

Why are we as a race demanding our pound of flesh?
How in the hell is it holding back black people if Imus said "nappy headed ho's"?? You tell me how.





It's hypocritical that people like Jesse Jackson %26amp; Al Sharpton jump at these opportunities to scream racism when they themselves have publicly made racist remarks that they were forced to apologize for. They don't want racial equality, hell no. Racial INequality is what's making them millions of dollars. If racism was a thing of the past, who would they be? NOBODIES and they know it.





Who cares about those same words in music. The problem is people let words bother them. As a whole, do you see the white race blowing up every time a white person is called whitey, cracker or honkey? No. Do we have a couple white activists who run around demanding the firing of this black person or that because of something they may have said that could be perceived as a racial slur against whites? No. If we had such people, they'd be deemed racist. Get over it.
Reply:Oh, bull. He's not repentant. He thought he could wait out the storm and then go right back to it.





Now the young black women in this country need to stand up toyour BROTHERS and understand how this language is holding you back!
Reply:As a Black woman, I don't want a pound of his flesh, not even an ounce, what I want is relanguaging of popular music created by Black males and a few Black females.......
