Don Imus Is Back

[Erzengel]

I don't listen to Imus but good for him for getting back on the air.

And Sharpton did call some white jewelers trying to move into Harlem as "white interlopers" then later apologized.

 

[Addendum]

If Imus does come back, he'll bring a strong 2 share

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

He shouldn't have ever been fired. And sorry white folk on here, but most black women do have nappy hair.

I know a lady that looks exactly like Don Imus.

If his rating were stronger, he wouldn't have been fired.

But it's Imus. His ratings will always be ****

Doesn't matter he still said it....Imus apologized and still got canned....what makes Sharpton so friggin special...?

 

[Addendum]

Sharpton brings in the ratings

I partly agree with you because if he had gotten huge ratings he wouldn't have gotten fired but at the same time he still did get fired for what he said...thats dangerous.

 

[Addendum]

It's simply a matter of how much the talent is bringing in. If he brought in more money, then the risk is worth it. The station didn't think Imus' risk was worth it, since his ratings were at the bottom, and they more than likely looked into Imus' history. This was the first time on the air, but off the air, this is tame compared to stuff he said and did.

Because Sharpton doesn't have a job per se?

I know he has a radio show but....

Offtopic: I'm still wondering when the so-called black leaders, Sharpton and Jackson, are going to admit that they were wrong about that Duke rape case thing.

 

[Darknightnomis]

Jackson and Sharpton rely on keeping the racial divide between blacks and everyone else open so they remain relevant

I would say it's the racial divide in itself in America that keep Sharpton and Jackson relevant.

They won't. To this day, Sharpton has never apologized for the Tawana Brawley fiasco.

1987! Damn, thats why I wasn't really familar with the case. Thanks for the article.

Jackson is a complete attention hungry a**hole. I see he didn't attach himself to the Duke case the same way he did that one.

They are stoking the fire though....

 

[zanos]

this guy gets ratings???

Absolutely none. It's not about that.

LMAO @ Kritish & The Joker

 

[Dorian Gray]

I've never listened to Don Imus or watched his show but I didn't think he should have been fired for dumbass comments...when black radio shows are known for saying far worse about whites and other races.

 

[bored]

How many nationally syndicated "black radio shows" are there?

Well, weather or not they are "nationally syndicated" isn't my point is they get away with everything they say.

Steve Harvey (I'm not sure if he still has a radio show) around/during the time of the whole Imus scandal did a bit where he was making fun of southern people as barely out of the 4th grade making, country bumpkins.

Steve Harvey is about as relevant as a biscuit....

I like biscuits.
