Imus: I Was Taken Out of Context
June 25th, 2008The radio show host says he’d have to be “insane” to make a fresh racist remark
Don Imus says that people are taking his latest controversial remarks out of context, but the Rev. Al Sharpton didn’t sound like he was buying it. “It has been reported to me that statements were made by Mr. Imus this morning, and National Action Network has monitored his show since his return,” Sharpton said in a statement. “I find the inference of his remark disturbing because it plays into stereotypes. Any use of stereotypes is always counterproductive. We will determine in the next day or so whether or not his remark warrants direct action on our part as we did in April of last year.” Imus, who was suddenly a well-known name in Black households after his infamous “nappy-headed hos” comment last year, says he definitely wasn’t dissing Dallas Cowboys D-back Adam “Packman” Jones when he asked “what color is he” after hearing that the baller had been arrested again. In fact, he says he was making a “sarcastic point” about racial injustice. “What people should be outraged about is that they arrest Blacks for no reason,” Imus told The Associated Press Tuesday. “I mean, there’s no reason to arrest this kid six times. Maybe he did something once, but everyone does something once.” Another racial controversy is the last thing that Imus can afford after his nine-month suspension after slamming the women on the Rutger’s Women’s Basketball Team in April 2007 with the nappy-headed hos remark. Many people, including Sharpton, initially called for Imus’ firing. The civil rights leader later said that Imus, who promised future sensitivity, had a right to forgiveness. Six months ago, Imus returned to the airwaves. During Monday’s broadcast, sports announcer Warner Wolf mentioned Jones’ run-ins with the law. That prompted Imus to ask, “What color is he?” Responded Wolf: “African-American.” Imus responded: “There you go. Now we know.” On Tuesday, Imus said he’d be crazy to be guilty of what he’s currently accused of. “How insane would I have to be? What would I be thinking?” Imus said. Jones told The Dallas Morning News in Tuesday editions that he’s upset by Imus’ comments and plans to pray for the radio host. Take this poll.
BET:
Where is my comment? if you are going to start screening comments you might as well close down this blog.
I don’t believe he was being racist when he made that comment. I do believe he is a racist like 90% of the people who run this country. I,m so impressed with the african americans in this day, they may not see or understand,but i do. I love it!
yes they screen the comments… and they do that to make the blacks look good. well honey it will take more then BET screening comments to make the blacks look good.. trust me
ohh I love when the blacks are loosing at something they ” play the race card” gotta love that crap
its a known fact that less blacks in the world means less crime
less blacks less crime get it right
Ebony Rogers,
Yes, I did make grammatical errors while I was typing my last comment and believe me that was only because I was angry at the moment. Furthermore, I was being sarcastic in a lot of what I said, if you hadn’t noticed . Perhaps you should reread my comment and take that into consideration. In addition, I am a strong believer in the Lord Almighty and his Son, Jesus Christ, so do no question my Christianity. Yes, God makes the heart beat, the birds sing, the sun shine, but that was not in the context of which I was speaking. The comment was strictly relating to Good Ol’ Shucky’s comment about Blacks being stupid. Again maybe you should reread. And just so you know, I have won awards and several honors of recognition for my writing skills. Moreover, I have severly raised the bar of excellence for African-American women by graduating college, law school and passing the Bar all by the age of 25. I also am one the few African-American females who is practicing law with my own firm at my current young age of 26. I think you should stop judging people until you know. I am very involved with children organizaions and donate regularly to such associations, so againg do not judge me. Perhaps it is you that needs to reevaluate herself. I am preparing for the 2nd Coming, but until then I am still human, bound to err, but, still on the mission to stand up for my people. Try it sometime girl!
