Imus is a Racist Ass!

So what else is new? - this is not a revelation to most people that have heard him over the years. His denial that he is a racist, is standard fare - I rarely hear a racist admit what they are. He is no exception.

There are far worst haters on the air like Limbaugh, Beck etc., but they all never cross the line of truly offending one notable group, the Jews. If Imus had said the holocaust was a myth, every Jewish organization would be calling for his scalp, and they would not be excusing his offensive words on the basis that he he was trying to be funny and he has been doing it for a long time. Some are giving him a pass on this latest offensive incident, because they assume he was merely trying to be funny, and doing it for the shock value. They would never make that assumption and excuse him, if he denied the holocaust or some other similar things offensive to Jews.

My point is that it does not matter what was his intent. It was racist and the fact that he has been making racist comments all along, does not excuse this latest outrage - like referring to the predominantly Black Rutgers female basketball team, as "nappy-haired ho's".

The standard should not be his intent, but what he said. Jews would never excuse him on the basis that his intent was to be merely funny. No one would say he was denying the holocaust for entertainment purposes or for shock value, so Blacks and progressive, thinking Americans, should not excuse him on this one either.
