Comment: Don Imus, like most other people who've not committed a crime, should be allowed to work in his chosen profession if he wants. My big question is -- when the heck did Al Sharpton become the moral and racial compass for ALL Black people?! While Al Sharpton can monitor Imus' show if he likes - who's monitoring his doggone show? I've heard him say some questionable things on-air too.
Name: SoopDawwg
Comment: Imus can work wher he wants to. The question is will he have any sponsors and will any station want to put up with his nonsense. It doesn't seem like he's worth the headache. I wouldn't hire him.
Name: ChocolateBrownGal
Comment: ...."Word has it that Imus has been out at comedy clubs looking for an African American comic to serve as his sidekick and to keep him in check should any racial jokes pop up, the Post reports.".... So what Uncle Tom would take this gig? NVM...I'm sure someone will and that's even more pathetic! SMH
Name: TGen
Comment: The biggest elephant in the room (article) is, will that RACIST sidekick of his Bernard what's-his-face be coming back with him? I used to watch the show periodiocally and the only thing I consistently had a problem with was that RACIST producer's CONTINUOUS RACIST and BIGOTED remarks. Imus: Lose Bernard, lose A LOT of headaches
Name: Renetta
Comment: Now all those who slammed Isaiah and saying he got what he deserves should be slamming the fact that this white piece of garbarge should NOT BE ALLOWED BACK ON THE AIR. If they don't forgive Isaiah after giving sincere apologies and doing a commercial for GLAD, then why in the fck should this piece of garbage be allowed back on the air. DOUBLE FCKING STANDARD FOR THEM. ALWAYS HAS BEEN ALWAYS WILL BE. Now he'll have some shucking jiving azz kissing uncle tom coon as his sidekick. Give me a break. Channel 2 just staged the firing, they knew all along they were going to bring his racists piece of garbage azz back.
Name: ez3372
Comment: I have the same question as ChocalateBrownGal...what BLACK person in their right mind would take the position?? I guess one that is hungry and needs work. But why does he need a "BLACK" person to keep him in check? He's a grown azz man! He knows what he should be saying and NOT saying...FOOL!
Name: sdedee
Comment: My whole thing is if he needs someone to "keep him in line" he knows he has all intention to continue his racist ish! who ever takes this job is sure the media's next porch monkey!ISI what!!
Name: B00TANEB00TUS
Comment: ...Yo, I posted this scenario as soon as this sh1t went down...Now Imus gets a Black stooge like Howard Stern has Robin...WTF does a grown, old azz man need to be kept in line?...Looking for a Black sidekick?...I might audition..I won't be a sidekick but I'd be a Big Black pain in the azz...
Name: Sigmatherunner
Comment: Now that Imus is coming back to the airwaves I wonder how people would feel if Star (power 105 ) would return to the airwaves? Is this life sentence only for some and not everyone?
Name: nycGYRL888
Comment: I agree with the statement of why does he need someone to keep him in line. That's ridiculous. I don't agree that he should not be allowed to work, maybe he needs a different venue like satellite radio. Let folks that want to listen to him, pay for it. As for Isiah Washington, I heard yesterday that he was cast in the new tv series of Bionic Woman which I can't wait to see (not because he's in it). Hopefully he'll have a good story line though.
Name: musbdherbs
Comment: Brandon, is that a rhetorical question? How many times do people have to continue asking "who made Al Sharpton what" Al is Al is and he nor his methods are going to change. Besides, If Al has not committed a crime, he should be allowed to work in his chosen profession if he wants. I listen to his show regularly and I wonder what "questionable" things have you heard him say? Either way, don't continue to compare the two..what Imus said was NOT questionable, is was explicit, straight-no chaser.
Name: islandmom
Comment: As someone who actually listened to the show for well over 10 years, Imus deserves to come back exactly as he left as he should never have been fired to begin with...He said something stupid but not meant to be malicious as anyone who knows the show, knows he is not a racist. His audience is made up of students, baby boomers, stay-at-home moms and everyone in between and we will support all advertisers who come back with him.
Name: Timolyn
Comment: Well...I say if he "just got to have a black person" put DL Hughley with him they should make a "perfect" team...lol
Name: prettieyez
Comment: I'm not suprised. I thought it would have been sooner. He's still gotta work.
Name: BigCorporate
Comment: I gotta disagree (respectfully of course) with you Brandon and co-sign off musbdherbs. I don't know why this question about Al Shapton speaking for black people keeps coming up. He NEVER says he's speaking for all black folks... so I really don't get why people get all defensive when he takes a stand. Fact is he is constantly encouraging us to stand up for ourselves and that is where the shhitteth hitteth the fan because we don't protest, march, or otherwise take forward action on most things. As for questionable things, has ANYONE ever listened to someone speak about world issue and not found some of their views questionable? I mean, I listen to his radio show and mannn... I don't have problems with hardly anything he says...that aside, just because it's found questionable doesn't mean it discredits the orator. Sharpton is doing his thing...we just gotta step up - and I do me we...me included.
Name: DoctorSmooth
Comment: Other than that, who cares? I don't know if he's a "racist" per se, but Imus has gotten away with saying his share of racially insensitive over the years. Even if he tones it down now, his inner feelings are still the same. Its unfortunate that if he does choose a black sidekick ,this person is going to be viewed as a bit of an Uncle Tom, or a house negro.
Name: StormyMonday
Comment: As the years go on, I see slowly we as American's are loosing our freedom of speech. That is the only thing I'm truly upset about. Censorship has become the norm and I think it's wrong. Yes, what Imus said was wrong, but should he have lost his job, NO. When Janet had a "wardrobe malfunction" the world to see, she she have been blackballed, NO. When there was a out-cry because Nelly's "tip Drill" video, those women had the right to protest and he had the right to make the video. When we as a people start trying to censor what people say and do that becomes a HUGE problem, not only today but for years and years to come, because it'll only get worse. It's sad when government claim they have the right to listen in on American citizens phone conversations because of "terror" issues. When Paris Hilton get's more air play than the issues the troops face in Iraq, we as an American people are being bamboozled. We need to wake up and focus on the real issues, issues that will matter for our children tomorrow. Don Imus, Micheal Vick, the Beckhams moving to the US, Lindsey Lohan getting out of rehab or Dave Chappelle's exhaustion are nice destrations, but don't get caught up in the hype and loose your freedom in the process.

Comment: You want ratings?.....Put Paul Mooney next to Don Imus..and see how that works? (LOL!)
Name: khufu
Comment: Divide and conquer; diversion...the very first post attempts to take the focus from Imus' racist azz and attack SHarpton.....white cultural supremacy at work
Name: archcookies
Comment: I think it's fair that this man gets his job back. Blacks comics say there's nothing word with the word. We can't be hypocritical about this, we blacks open the door to whites using the word so casually. I am sure that Mr. Imus won't make that mistake again.
Name: khufu
Comment: "What person in their right mind?" raises this point: "Right" mind is presumptuous...there are a lot of functioning Black folks out there who are insane and dysfunctional.....therefore a whole lot of them will take THE JOB....because it's all about the jobread the first post and there you have your first candidate......
Name: HHCassius
Comment: islandmom, all those students, baby- boomers, and stay-at-home moms might well be breeding the next generation of undercover racists. I agree that everyone who said that Isaiah should be gone but Imus should come back are hypocrites.
Name: khufu
Comment: imagine a Jew saying "sure, that person who said the holocaust never happened should be able to have their job back on radio.." Some Black folks are lost forever..that explains why it says only 144,000 will be saved.......
Name: khufu
Comment: wait ISLANDMOM if ou were arrested for breaking a law that you didnt know you committed what would happen? They would see ignorance of the law is no excuse...so are you saying that because he says "stupid" stuff that his degrading and disrespectful comments about Black folks should be....what? forgiven? forgotten?
Name: MOTHERSHIP
Comment: Thank you, BigCorporate. Khufu, keep it real and regular. If ol' Donny boy would have said that about a bunch of Jews he'd been drummed out of town, much less get his job back.
Name: khufu
Comment: and even if they were forgiven should his penalty not still be enforced? Well, some might say, it depends upon the severity of the crime....well what he said and did was pretty damn severe according to me...and my ancestors
Name: islandmom
Comment: Imus is coming back and some of you can choose not to listen as you probably never heard of him before April anyway. The marketplace will decide his fate. If nobody wants to listen, he'll be gone. If his audience wants to hear him, he'll be fine. I know as the parent of an autistic, there are thousands of us out here desperate for Imus to return as our champion. He is the only one in the main stream to help us.
Name: islandmom
Comment: Don Imus did not commit a crime the last time I checked. What context does a crime fit this mess? There are plenty of criminals out there and Imus isn't one of them.
Name: khufu
Comment: LOL I am from NY I grew up on Imus in the morning....so I think I knew him before you did
Name: khufu
Comment: See, Imus is the savior of autistic children so he can hate Black folks or engage in antics that are derogatory to Black folks as long as he is okay in ISLANd mom's "backyard"
Name: wyjak
Comment: The punishment never fit the crime and Imus deserves to come back. I've heard from many sources who believe racism played a very little part in Imus' firing but the fact that he doesn't support Hillary Clinton and the rumor is she and Bill were behind Sharpton on this one. Media Matters started the whole thing. In any event, it's time for his return to those of us who love the show. It's been a long 96 days w/out him.
Name: khufu
Comment: that's another tactic used to keep Black folks dazed and confused..they use it on themselves...."You alright with me"..you can kill a thousand other Black folks..but youse awright wit/ me
Name: khufu
Comment: Actually last time I checked wasn't certain speech & behavior classified as HATE CRIMES?
Name: khufu
Comment: WYJAK what should the punishment have been?
Name: khufu
Comment: WYKAJ & Islandmom....what should have happened to Michael Richards and Isiash Washington?
Name: wyjak
Comment: I can't imagine what kind of person would down play all that Mr. Imus does for autistic kids, kids with cancer, SIDS research, sickle-cell anemia, wounded soldiers, etc. The man practically carried Harold Ford Jr. on his back last year trying to get him elected. If some people are so closed minded, so be it and island mom, let's not engage a race baiter. Imus fans are not racists and either is Mr. Imus.
Name: musbdherbs
Comment: Island, if your champion is in the form of someone who regularly makes insensitive and sometimes racist remarks, then maybe it's time to change. What's funny is that Louis Farrakhan is treated with less respect than Imus and it can not be disputed that whatever Imus has done pales in comparison to what The Minister has.
Name: wyjak
Comment: Now Don Imus commited a hate crime - even Sharpton would say you're off base. You're not a reasonable person so I'm out of here. Good luck.
Name: GHank
Comment: As I said last time, forgiveness does not mean restitution. I'm sure Don Imus can find another job. Besides, the man is 66 years old. He needs to retire. He got enough money. If I called a white woman at my job a "Sissy Spacek..coal miner's daughter..stringy haired ...country azz ho bytch", I would be out of a job and out of a career with a quickness. I would be working as a bag boy at the local supermarket singing negro spirtuals.
Name: B00TANEB00TUS
Comment: ...It amazes me how we have to defend Rev. Al...He's only doing what Frederick Douglas told Black folk to do...Agitate, agitate, agitate...If Don Imus wasn't a repeat offender I wouldn't have an an issue with him comming back...Yo, he made a joke about Dr. Shabazz being burned... I don't wanna hear that sh1t about him being a equal opportunity offender...Black folks always fare the worse with that sh1t...It locks us from opportunities...It perpetuates a stereotype that's hard to shake...A lot of influencial White folks listen to Imus...That's why he's dangerous...Years ago the legenday Gil Noble cursed the Rolling Stones for their song "Some girls"...Maybe we need to curse Imus azz...Yo, somebody posted Don Imus looks like the Wolfman in mid tranformation...That sh1t still makes me laff...Just thought I'd toss that one in....
Name: TesticAl
Comment: Let's just kill Don Imus, then we won't have to worry about this dude being on the radio. Who's with me?
Name: khufu
Comment: LOL Im off base..LOL..unreasonable? LOL wow......It is said that : "in the last days, things wrong would appear right and things right would appear wrong"
Name: khufu
Comment: The amazing thing is this statement: "Name: wyjak Comment: I can't imagine what kind of person would down play all that Mr. Imus does for autistic kids, kids with cancer, SIDS research, sickle-cell anemia, wounded soldiers, etc.." Well...i cant imagine what kind of person would say what Don Imus said....amazing this poster applies that criteria to me but not to Imus (to be continued)
Name: khufu
Comment: watch this: hey ISLANDMOTHER...what would your response have been if he would have called autistic children retardo's?...Now I am not calling them that..I m just asking would you have been %*$!ed if he made that comment?
Name: khufu
Comment: peeved..perturbed...angry
Name: juleso
Comment: Wow, what kind of person would suggest murdering someone for saying something offensive but not with malicious intent according to the Rutgers girls. I pray that is a joke. I didn't have a problem with Imus being fired although the Rutgers Team said they didn't want him fired so it was a bit extreme. Sharpton will make sure he's in line so I wouldn't worry much about him. Everyone should be able to make a living.

Comment: My 9-year-old is made fun of all of the time. He doesn't have friends or play sports, etc. and other children and even teachers who do not understand his disorder constantly say offensive things which break our hearts but we are teaching him that people say stupid things and that doesn't mean they are bad people. This is true. This is the real world and people's feeling get hurt all the time. Our son IS different and he is always going to be picked on and discriminated in his life, long after I'm gone. We don't live in a perfect world here. I say and do dumb things too and hope if I apologize, I'm forgiven. When you have an autistic child, you cannot live in a PC world.
Name: TesticAl
Comment: juleso, you "pray" at what I said is a joke? LMMFAO! Are you new here or some shyt?
Name: islandmom
Comment: I'm not asking anyone to understand if you don't have an autistic child but let me tell you, we have very few people in our corner and Don Imus was one of the few and he really helped us. I know you don't want to hear this but it's true.
Name: FiveMore
Comment: Jews never support or defend their enemies.Why are black people always forgiving repeat offenders of the race?We are so backwards until it doesn't make no sense!Forget Imus and I hope nobody with half of a cranium joins his ignorant and racist show.Bernard was/is paid to say that insensitive jibble about black people,he(imus) encouraged Bernard's racist and sick comments.Imus aint fooling me with that crap.(Cbs is putting him back on the air-)Now, I see why Reginald Hudlin can act a fool over there at BET!They don't give a damm about Blacks.
Name: Train
Comment: >FiveMore, I feel you on that and I co-sign and I blame the black church for our stand on always turning the other cheek and forgiving our enemies or those that do harm onto us. I learned this early on which is one reason why I've never been much of a religous person. I told my wife a few weeks ago that if the founder of the KKK walked into a black church and asked for forgiveness he would not only get it but some preacher would probably offer his daughter to him. Black folks need to eliminate all enemies, whether they be foreign (the white man) or domestic (black gangbangers/drug dealers).
Name: islandmom
Comment: Isaah Washington said something stupid but of course should be allowed to work again. Michael Richards I think was the worst but if someone actually wants to pay money to hear him, which seems unlikely because he's washed up, let them. Mel Gibson's comments were bad but he's still working. People will continue to say idiotic things. I don't have time to take offense to everyone.
Name: Thoth
Comment: Some folks on this list seem to be confusing “freedom of speech” with “community standards.” As a community we can decide what we think and feel about a discourse. If we don’t like it, we are well within our rights, and moral responsibility, to take action. Does Imus has “free speech”—to a limited extent, not completely. Do we, as a public have a right to say what kinds of speech we would like to have circulated—yes! And how do we judge what we like or don’t like? Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart gave us a litmus test when he talked about obscenity—he said “I know it when I see it.” I know racist speech when I see/hear it, and I am not about to defend Imus (or attack Sharpton). I have a right to have my say, and be heard—the definition of a democratic society and I say I am sick of Imus, Hughley, and all these other defenders of hate speech directed toward me.
Name: MissE
Comment: Great post Stormy. As far as the sidekick person, I think it's a great idea cause we, along with every other race, have our own language and what we say to each other, if another race says it to us it's offensive, it's a double standard, which is what all this crap is really all about. If Imus had a black as his sidekick, then he can "monitor" what he can or cannot say that might be offensive to us. Yall know it's true, you can blast me if you want. Train, you can't blame the black church for that, that's the Word of God so I suggest you talk to Him. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Comment: Khufu , Herbs Five More and Train you all speaketh the truth!!!!Island Mom and Juleso I'm just curious are you black or is this some kind of joke? If you are black or even not, to not be affected in some way, by the nature of his joke, I cannot understand it...This Imus guy did not have to say it, it was uncalled for, every black woman I see does not represent a ho, far more do not than do, and nappy headed just uncalled for, maybe if Wyjak, Islandmom and Juleso, would come down out of the tree house and face reality then maybe you can understand how humiliating that would be, and how that would insult a whole race of people, I agree with the one of the posters, we forgive & forget too doggone much!!! let it go!!! be finished with the perps once and for all. We need to take a stand, we are a joke as it is to other races, lets stop this foolishness.

Comment: B00T: Thanx for reposting that comment "Don Imus looks like the Wolfman in id transformation." LMAO. I need that. Had a schitty morning. <> GHANK: Mr. Paul Mooney! YES! <> I just got so insulted when I read that he's tryin' to find a black person to be his sidekick. Why? So he can say what he wants infront of some Clarence Thomas minded bro and when Rev. Al steps up, Imus can just say "hey, the brother was sittin' right here and he didn't have a problem with it." Window dressing. And sorry, but I couldn't care less about how he refers to his asian wife or any other chick. Black women get too much crap as it is. We gotta hear it from our own men (rappers) which is bad enough. So, no I can't see the humor in it when some old shrivelled up, decrepit old raisin face feels like he can diss us on the radio. No! <> SIGMA: Thanx for mentioning Star! I don't recall Star's quagmire gettin' half the attention that Imus got. Personally, I want Star back on the air. I LOVED that doggone show!

I got some older fraternity brothers that were born and raised in the heart of Dixie and they told me some stories that made me snap my chair in half. We have to stop being so forgiving for triffling m.f.'s and drop the hammer. Do you think the Jews forgave those cats that killed those athletes at the '72 Munich Olympics? Hell no!! They got together and did what they had to do. I'll rather spend eternity in hell then let somebody get away with harming my family or myself.

Comment: Please understand you have the right to freedom of speech however there are consequences with freedom of speech i.e. this is why you can say bomb in an airport and you will more than likely go to jail, same thing as saying 'fire' in a crowded venue. Freedom of speech requires responsibility. My thoughts on Imus as I have said over and over again, indicate an overall mean spiritedness in the guise of entertainment. People feel free to say all kinds of nasty and racist things to get a rise or a laugh. I don't thing any of it is acceptable period and there are many, many offenders black and white. I don't know why there is an acceptance of nasty behavior. As far as Al Sharpton as others have stated why do so many people have such a hard on for him? It is not as if he is not speaking the truth and he seems as if he is willing to try to be part of the solution, not saying I always agree with everything he says and does but IMO he is far from the clown some of us make him out to be, think about the fact that often he is the lone voice out there yet everything he does is subject to ridicule yet in the same breath when something comes up and he isn't involved there is the question where is Al Sharpton... Again I do not thing freedom of speech was meant to allow everyone to say anything old thing regardless of how offensive it is.

I love my beautiful black sistahs nationwide because I'm married to one and I'm the product of one and to hear these songs calling them out of their name is triffling and we can't Snoop, 50 Cent, Ludacris, Nelly and others of their kind continue to do this.

If it was the Klan doing drive by's in low income areas blacks would be up in arms and Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would be urging folks to do something. But since it's ppl that look just like us then all the excuses come out from the apologist like those idiots that ame out in support for Tookie Williams who served no good purpose for black folks.

This is coming from somebody that grew up in a crip neighborhood in Compton so I don't have no love for gangbangers or drug dealers because for the simple fact that they do harm to our communities and the excuses have to stop NOW!!!!

Comment: Train, I am never an advocate of death so I didn't support Tookie's execution. As for what's acceptable in the communities, Al has been vocal about it and urging people to do something. Cosby is saying the same thing. Church leaders have said the same thing. BUT blacks across economic lines seem uninterested UNTIL something "noteworthy" happens. The world stood still when Katrina happened but not a week afterwards, they were back to be low-class nyggas who shoulda/woulda/coulda but didn't. There's enough blame to go around. If you are afraid of attending a rountable discussion for fear of danger then it is YOU who has the problem. Apparently others bit the bullet and took a stand. You just didn't have enough drive to do the same which makes you also part of the problem. Protest loudly but back down when the fire gets hot.

Comment: I was a memeber of Rev. Sharpton's Action Network for one year. Trust me, you learn things when your inside of any organization. This morning I was awaken by 4 police cars at my gate for a sorry azz trouble making black female calling me out of my name with lies of aquasations. My point is that we need to really look at how black people treat each other. That's one of the reasons why some white people feel they can still disrespect us. Imus feels he can get away with what he says because A LOT of black people on a regular bases disrespect each other publicly!
