   Matt Lauer interviewed Don Imus and while I do not listen or like Don Imus’s hmor, why shoud he be fired? The race card goes both ways. What about the Duke Lacross players wrongly accused by a black woman for rape. What about those players losses of jobs, schooling, respect, financial burden of lawyer fees, etc. Who suffered anymore than these innocent Duke students vs the Rutgers students How does jesse jackson get to call NYC hymie town or Al Sharpton and Tawana Brawley not just as racist as anything they accuse white people of saying. Let’s be fair. The race card goed both ways. While I do not condone the words of Imus or others, why don’t the whie race appoint a spokesperson to remind the other minorities of the offenses they say or do against white people. The fault goes both ways but we only rail against a one-sided racial issue. Not fair.

   IMUS???? it all boils down to respect. If we all had some of this NO one would say anything like he did. People in the media need to take time to think before they speak. We spend too much time on incidents like this, they just should not happen. What happened to “Love of Neighbor”? I think its time to think of the other person and not whats going to get a laugh or good ratings. We are not giving our children a good example at all.

   I do not listen to Imus, but those that do are intitled under our freedom of speech. The control of the airwaves is governed by the FCC and the popularity of the show and it’s ablity to generate income. If either are displeased with the content it can be removed from the airwaves. The situation that exists with Rap/Video/Violence, and the vulgerness that it spews to our mostly younger generation is appalling yet we see nor hear of any serious effort to condem these artists or producers of this optional entertainment. To much money involved both black and white. Spike and Woopi are not people that I would look to speek up about the problems with society today, they have been part of the problem and do not deserve to be considered role models. Intolerence is not born into our young it is taught through example. It’s time to stop blaming everyone for our problems and step up to the plate and make a difference.

   Al harpton and Jesse Jackson are racists, not Don Imus.
   They seize athe slightest opportunity to divide our country into opposing factions. Many of us recall the Brawley affair which Sharpton used to create hostility. Don Imus has confessed to much, but not to spitting in others food.
   Imus and his gang had a non-scruoted B. S. session during which they talked the way guys relly talk. HIs hurbris was worth putting up with for the interesting discussions and entertaining interpretations provided by Chuck and Brnard.
   The symbionic relationship between his program and the
   entertainers and politicians who phoned in provided insight and information obtained nowhere else.
   During a bus ride another old woman and I took from Palm Springs to Phoenix, the African American youtng people who sat around us happily called one another em effing N words the entire way. Had one of us done so, there would have been an unmpleasant incident. Meanwhie, Rosie continues to spout her seititious propoganda daily. No one cares that she offends those of us who belong to the “minority” composed of old fashioned Americans. The media are moved by money and hyproocricy.
