Well, I guess all is forgiven. Don Imus has been fired. The black community can now safely go back to calling each other niggers, bitches, and hos without having some white interloper jump in the middle of it.

For years I’ve been consistent on one thing. You have the right to say whatever you want and no one has a right to not be offended. For this stupid off-color remark to blow up into what it did proves only one thing: you can say what you want, just not about black people.

Doubt it?

Think about it for a second. Do you really think this is the first time a radio host made an off-color comment about a race? Or a religion? Or a sexual orientation? Hell, this wasn’t even a racist comment. It was, at worst, a comment about the players being from the ghetto. So fucking what?

Here’s a piece of advice for the losing non-national-champion Rutgers basketball team: Get some thicker skin. People aren’t going to like you and they aren’t going to have a lot of good things to say about you at every turn in your life. Hell, if you had actually won the tournament, he wouldn’t have said anything either, but you lost. You didn’t win second. You lost.

Which brings me to the point of this post.

One of the idiots on the Rutgers team actually had the stones to say that this “spoiled all their accomplishments.”

You lost.

I repeat.

You lost.

Apparently losing a national championship is nowhere near as bad as being called a nappy headed ho.

Talk about needing some perspective.

Don Imus made a stupid remark. He did not make a remark that required him to be fired. He certainly didn’t deserve to be lectured on racism by two of the biggest race baiters in the world, Al “White Interloper and Tawanna Brawley” Sharpton and Jesse “Hymietown” Jackson.

The good news is that Al Sharpton says this is only the beginning. I’m sure he’s going to go after the 3 urban stations in New York City where they fling around the word nigger, ho, pimp, slut, nappy-head, hooker, bitch, and so on. After all, they’re demeaning black women left and right.

I can’t wait to see that happen.

It’ll probably happen around the time a monkey flies out of my ass.
