CBS: Contrived Bull Shit

CBS Fires Don Imus From Radio Show

CBS fired Don Imus from his radio program Thursday, the finale to a stunning fall for one of the nation's most prominent broadcasters.

"There has been much discussion of the effect language like this has on our young people, particularly young women of color trying to make their way in this society," CBS President and Chief Executive Officer Leslie Moonves said in announcing the decision. "That consideration has weighed most heavily on our minds as we made our decision."

Language?! LANGUAGE?!

CBS-owned "urban" radio stations nationwide play so-called "music" by rappers such as Ludicris, Snoop Dogg and others who have done and actively do more to demean "young women of color trying to make their way in this society" with their lyrics and how women are protrayed in their music videos than Don Imus' flippant fark-up.

Black culture itself does more to adversely affect "young women of color trying to make their way in this society" than some old fart on the radio.

When y'all want to deal with yourselves, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, when you want to tell the truth to your young people instead of playing them for fools of yours and victims of whitey, then you might be able to act indignant over some old white guy's comments with some sort of credibility.

Until then, nigga please!

Sharp Ton:
I totally disagree with your article however you have the right to be wrong . . .
peace, much love
I killed the link left by Sharp Ton to a website called 'Hair Like Wool' because "hair like wool", from a social anthropology viewpoint, is a racist phrase and we're not racist here at Panzo.org. We also don't approve of people who Google an issue just so they can leave meaningless rejoinders and links back to themselves on every goddamned blog that addresses the issue.
