Never on time but always real!! This is the true meaning of "Burning"!! I don't have much to say on this topic because it's so repetitive (Then again I do). I will say this "Everything happens for a reason." And this is the perfect diversion from the topics that need attention (Sean Bell case). I don't feel bad for Imus and personally I don't care (I got bills). Imus is so paid that they can take him off of every endorsement deal, and people still couldn't count the zeros in his bank account. My point being, he feels that he can say anything he want at this point in time...with one foot on the grave and the other on a banana peel.
Amongst all the controversy over words "Nappy Headed Hos", we forgot to congratulate the females for their accomplishments. I would like to take the time out and say, '"Congratulations Ladies" from the entire Loosetonguez Camp. There was a song "Who The Cap Fit - Bob Marley", let them wear it. If you consider yourself that, then it becomes offensive (As an adult). As for children who need clarification, that's where "Parenting" is necessary!! You need to raise your children, not television. Get the big picture, Don Imus probably wants out the game anyway. And for those who didn't know he existed, you definitely know him now (More publicity). Sometimes, people can be like crabs in a barrel meaning everyone hops on the same topic when it's hot but next week it will be a memory.
I challenge anyone to swing by your local High School or even better a Elementary School... just listen to the vulgar content that comes out of their mouths. Then if you're bold, ask one of them " Who's Don Imus??" They won't know...(Maybe now because we made him sOoO important.) But prior to this incident, he didn't exist...unfortunately, his words have. If you want to see change, you have to make change. Starting with our children...they didn't learn the names they call one another from Imus!!
There's no need to point the finger, just be real with yourself. His apology doesn't make it right, and for that he was repremanded. But sadly he is not our enemy (We are). As an adult, I realize that people know how to turn a story around until it justifies their cause, and how do we argue?? With "Celebrities" (Some Musicians) and ordinary people, they practice this language on a regular. It makes it hard to Argue...Talk to Me....
