Hi Jim,
The way I see it is...
A lot of people were apparently offended by his remarks... And it made the news (so even people who weren't his listeners knew about it)...
The way I see it is that people weren't offended until Jackson & Sharpton jumped in and told everyone they should be offended.
It was nothing more than 3 little words that were probably not the best choice of words, but certainly nothing that could offend the entire country.
It got blown totally out of proportion by people with their own agenda and by the media who think that it's somehow cool for people to get behind racial issues.
Walk a mile through any town in this country and you will hear a lot worse things said than "nappy headed ho"
It deserved a laugh, not a firing.
Imus is a good guy who does a lot of good and raises a lot of money for some great causes.
He deserves to keep on doing what he's doing.
If anyone in this whole situation should be looked at for their racial comments, it should be Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton.
