If Imus said I hate niggers lets kill all the damn spics, hey Hitler come back there's still Jews and lets see if we can get a faggot or a carpet muncher to make my damn dinner as well as a barefoot pregnant bitch in the kitchen or anything like that then yeah, he's got a problem and probably shouldn't be spouting it on the radio.
However he did no different than any sportscaster putting down a team he or she doesn't like. No different than saying the 49ers are a bunch of cokeheads or the florida buckin-queers blew another game, or in general most football players are idiots who didnt finish highschool or whatever. He was making fun of a sports team. Period.
The term nappy comes from blacks over a hundred years ago who would wear a nappy (form of napkin) on their heads while working or slaving for the man in the south. The japanese have the same term for what the sumo wrestlers wear. Today, it means unkept or greasy hair and is used across all races. That's it, it has no "racial slur" what so ever. Anyone and everyone on the radio, TV whatever who talks sports always has something negative to say about whatever team they dont like. This was no different. 'Ho' is just like saying 'bitch' and is used in the same context, this was an all-female basketball team. If it were an all-male white basketball team (like that'll ever happen) he would have called them a bunch of pale idiot wannabes.
I swear to god people go out of their way to find racism just so they can point and say see? racism is still alive! and in the south i'd agree but its no where on television or the radio or films unless its put in a negative light to begin with ie: racism is bad, here is a character depicting how and why racism is bad.
If someone can find a clip of Imus stating he hates blacks then lets see it. The most negative and clearly racist thing he's ever said were about his own producers who he's friends with and are jewish, he would constantly poke fun at how cheap they are and money grubbing, etc. but this was always in fun.
Howard Stern on the other hand, has gone on record stating things much, much worse, using actual terms like kike and nigger on air. "Oh but he's a shock jock" and so is Imus, minus the lesbian midgets.
This is the dumbest thing i've ever seen. We're becoming a nation of pussy farts.
