Its a crock of Iam not a racist person at all, actually I have lost some pretty good friends over race issues over the years. I see indivdual people not judged by a whole race, no matter what the race or nationally. But when it comes to a man who makes a livin by trying to be funny and is trying to be ruined by racest people themselves IE jackson and sharpton then thats a crock of . If you dont want the white man using these words and comments then first you must stop using them yourselves.

WTF ever happened to Freedom Of Speech!!!!. I am so sick of minority demanding apologies for what someone else said about a stereotype of their race, in which it's their own damn fault. This ain't about African American's. It's about a damn gangster,pimp, crap of a culture that originated in the 90's and has grown into something massive and evil. Blame all this crap on rap music, drugs, sex and money. You see the affects of this **** everyday, you see beautiful white girls hooked on crack, walking the streets at all hours of the night trying to offer their body as a payment for more crack, it's endless and it's' far to common. It makes me sick to my stomach.

It is a total crock.........anyone who listened to the broadcast could plainly tell it was all a big joke that this idiot (Sharpton) has used as another excuse to say his race is being discriminated against.........and I am not a racist person, you can ask anyone who knows me..........but is okay to call people rednecks on public tv and radio........go figure......the last time I checked we were Americans plain and simple, not African American, English Amercian, Irish American or anything else, just AMERICAN......

[SmokeFan204]

We the whites are the ones discriminated against!! I have no problem with most blacks i grew up on a farm and some of them are good friends. Now they have their own beauty pageant... Miss Black USA ...their own tv station BET...black entertainment tv. Guess how long would this last if we did not let them in our pageants or on our tv stations???? Does this sound racist ... i think so. It makes me wonder what jessie jackson and sharpton would do if we had a whites only pag or tv station? Like i said we are the ones discriminated against but we sit back and let it happen its our fault!!!

The disproportionate representation of black Americans in the U.S. criminal justice system is well documented.

Blacks comprise 13 percent of the national population, but 30 percent of people arrested, 41 percent of people in jail, and 49 percent of those in prison.

Nine percent of all black adults are under some form of correctional supervision (in jail or prison, on probation or parole), compared to two percent of white adults.

One in three black men between the ages of 20 and 29 was either in jail or prison, or on parole or probation in 1995.

One in ten black men in their twenties and early thirties is in prison or jail.

Thirteen percent of the black adult male population has lost the right to vote because of felony disenfranchisement laws.


The rate at which black men are incarcerated is astonishing. There are 4,630 black men in prison nationwide per 100,000 black men in the population, whereas the rate for white men is 482.28 In ten states and the District of Columbia, black men are incarcerated at staggeringly high rates that range from 5,740 to 7,859 per 100,000.

There is more to worry about in the USA that who called who a damn nigger, ho, or pimp.. They (The Blacks) write it in their songs and encourage our young to speak their slang, but want to punish them for repeating the exact same thing they say.. Jessie Jackson needs to grow a set of nuts and get a real JOB!!!

I saw a group of nappy head ho's just last week.. I was riding through Durham...:rock_on:


I ask why would theses sponsors pull there ads for a mere 13% population?:DontKnow:

[speedshop5]

Move Me South! I'm a yankee and don't have time for many of them! I didnt say all, but it isn't many. I'm not a racist, I am sick and tired of these back door civil rights orginizations. They are losers. The sponsers should not back CNN or whomever puts sharpton or Jackson on TV. Does anyone remember the crimes they committed? Including bilking millions from the imfamous Coalition orginization? referring to Jackson. Secondly, Sharpton was in serious trouble a couple years ago. Nice that they judge others. They can kiss my White, Lilly proud @@@@@@@@@@@@@. Sorry for ranting, I just lose more respect for this country every day. Thank God, for Dirt Racing! 99.90 percent and i don't think they need to ruin our sport as they have others. Unless they change their combative attitude. Then, i would accept them open arms. Personally don't think it will ever happen. See ya Saturday night!

[dirtracer76]

all u have to do is listen to russ par in the morning on k97.5 and listen to him call us crackers and honkys im discriminated by it it just offends me big time

[Need4Speed]

it's funny that it took Jackson and Sharpton a hole week to start their B/S...
Im going to start a HipHop group and name the band Nappy Hos'...:Kool: then it will be alright , to say those thing...:Hide:

[wesleycogdell]

just think of the big stink and uproar that sharpton and jackson caused over the duke lacrosse case. i believe that one came back to bite them in the azz.

[Need4Speed]

those too never think before they get the hole story just away for them to get air time on TV...

[w1ck3d0n3l0st]

I am Irish American has it was said!!! I think it is a load of crap to don;t get me wrong some know this and some don;t but i dislike 90% of the black commuinty and don;t car who know's. They like we owe them something for stuff that happened to the great grandparents.This happened all started when they got freedom.Wrost day in history if you ask me.I think naacp should stay out of it.NAACP= ****** against all caucasian people.simple put.They is black's on T.V everyday callin us names and etc.. Let a white person just say something towards a biracial term and he gets sued/fired.It is a shame to see the white girls with the black guy now days for the drugs/money cause they are hooked on crack/coke.It is all the cRAP music that turned our society into what it is and lettin the get away with some much stuff cause of teh slave times.So in the end i say it is cRAP music and OUR own fault that we let them get away with some much stuff cause we was being nice cause THEIR people sold them to us. It is all goin to be the same with the illegal aliens soon if we just let them come and live for free and do what NOTHING about it.I am sure this might get deleted or soemthing but hey it is my POV on this subject.

[wesleycogdell]

i just think its a crock of $h!t that it always has to be racist. what would happen if we had WET instead of BET. or the NAAWP? or as said earlier, a white miss america? now dont get me wrong, i have plenty of friends that are black and they are great friends. i think its just a few rotten eggs that spoil it for the bunch. just a way to get some air time.

[Racerchaser]

Thanks to Imus... Napster has to change it's business name, and LOWES & HOME DEPOT gardening centers across america are removing hoes from the tool department at alarming levels

[Marcia Reed]

Lmao...........

[Racerchaser]

I am the one who is outraged not good old Rev Al.
Sorry if this offends, but I am sick and tired of black people laying claim to a word I (white people) can't say. This is a unreal double standard. So I think we (white people) should start to set some boundaries.

#1 I want Dave Chappell replays removed. I find I am damaged by the use of "cracker" "whitey", and the various other terms. Please make him say sorry, then remove him from TV. (fire him)

#2 I would like a written apology to the Duke Lacrosse team. I would like every black leader involved in this debacle to say they are sorry for playing the race card, then please remove them from the public eye.

#3 Chris Rock, please see number 1.

#4 I would like a written apology from Rev Jesse Jackson. "heimy town" was very offensive. Please remove him from the public eye as well.

I will work on some more as I get further irritated by the implementation of this double standard. Black people need to wake up, and choose better spokesmen. White people need to wake up and stop allowing themselves to be pushed around by the self appointed black community spokesmen.

[Racerchaser]

Like him or not. Lowlife or not. Racist or not. That is no excuse to take what was said, and turn it into a political soapbox for the black self appointed leaders.
If free speech comes at a price, then it is not really free speech.

The real point is the double standard. Like Imus or not, it CANNOT be OK for one race to say whatever they want with impunity, and another race be chastised for the same exact phrases.

This IS NOT about Imus, and if that is all you see here, I am afraid you will never see the big picture.

[JRhodes]

My question is since Imus was removed, will all cRap CDs be removed and all cRap videos be removed from store shelves for the same reason that Imus was fired. HELL NO THEY WONT!

[RaceJunkie]

I think yo will see Imus on a satelite radio next.. then he can tear them a new one.. NO!! FCC on sat..:)

[Redclay Rebel]

I've only heard the playback of the comments from Imus a couple times and maybe the radio station edited it or something.....what did he say that is considered racist????

Remember I don't pay attention to alot of news.....I didn't even know until YESTERDAY that the so called victom in the Duke Lacross thing was black.
