Don Imus & The Hip-Hop Aftermath

I don't think most white people realize how much or often they piss off black people, in particular, ones involved or associated with Hip-Hop. Why is it every time a white person gets in trouble for making a racially charged rant they try to turn the tables & justify it by saying its not a problem when "rappers" say it. First of all, who the hell is "rappers"??? ...Oh ok just the black ones! Not the white ones who say the same, or the countless wiggers making a mockery of the culture who also partake. Nope, just the blacks...suprise, surprise. You might as well say what you mean, "black rappers."

Even besides the fact that the white majority ruled media found a way to overlook the absolutely uncalled for & deplorable comments by one Don Imus (not even a week later might I add), we are talking about 2 completely different audiences and 2 completely different classes of woman. "Black rapper's" core demographic isn't 30-something through older white people (though mainly male), as well as Imus' isn't urban youth...or youth period. Besides that, "black rappers" neither interview politicans and other prominent whites nor do they have nationally sydicated shows that also air daily on MSNBC. So if Imus' core demographic is older white males who was his "'napped-headed hos' joke" meant to amuse?? A white man has yet to be that kind of funny. The other thing is Imus was talking about educated college woman, "black rappers" are talking about hoodrat girls with nothing going for themselves & not much to offer besides spread legs. Big difference! Not saying its acceptable but we aren't even talking about the same class of people.

Another factor to consider is that Don Imus is a 66 year-old white male. His birthday isn't until July, which makes his birth-year 1940. So by the time the 60s came in he was already a 20-something year-old high school dropout & more than likely in his "nigger hating" prime with all the Civil Rights movements going on. Is it really so hard to believe he is a undercover racist? Remember we talking about the same man that referred to New York Times sports columnist Bill Rhoden as a "quota hire" and PBS anchor Gwen Ifill as a "cleaning lady." The same man that refers to Arabs as "ragheads" and lets not even get into his current and former co-hosts.

Basically, if you agree that this racist's comments have anything to do with any rapper or Hip-Hop overall then I'll just take it that you agree with him.
