"donnie raceball"

recently don imus has reappeared in the news. supposedly he said something racist again. when told that pacman has been arrested six times, he asked what color is he? when the other guy said he is indeed african-american imus replied "There you go. Now we know". i can see how one might perceive that as racist, but i believe imus when he says he didn't intend for it to mean what you think it means. he claims he meant to say now he knows why he had been arrested so many times. because he is black. here is the exact quote from the explanation: "What people should be outraged about is that they arrest blacks for no reason," Imus said Tuesday. "I mean, there's no reason to arrest this kid six times. Maybe he did something once, but everyone does something once."
whoa, slow down there cowboy. you know at first that actually sounds selfless and noble. but after a little playback i realized this dude is going a little overboard in his attempt to convince the american public that he is a peace loving hippie.
the comments last year about the rutgers womens bball team were indeed atrocious. soon after, the debates flew. is he a racist or not? to be canned or not to be canned? whatever you believe, the i-man started campaigning that he truly loves everyone. he met with all the self proclaimed black "leaders". said all the right things, and when he finally got a new show, he even hired a black producer and two black co-hosts (1 male and 1 female). that is all well and good but something sounds fishy about this whole thing. when i read his quote again it hit me, this guy is becoming the white, skinny version of al sharpton. fat al totally turned him around.
to say you are not a racist, fine. to say you love all people, fine, to specifically build a diverse cast on your show, fine. but to say that pacman didnt deserve to be arrested all six , that it must be police racial profiling or that he probably didnt do anything five of the times and he got detained strictly bec of his color is mad. thers no doubt racial profiling exists but to make a loose statement to that degree without specific knowledge of all the arrests and charges is unfair, unmerited, and excessive. we've heard this before, from guys like jesse jackson and fat al. but now it sounds like he is going out of his way to bash anyone that might look at a black person the wrong way. he doesnt even know half the things this kid did. he didnt even know who pacman was, for heavens sake, until ten seconds prior to that statement. frankly, i'm offended. as an american im offended. as a believer in the justice sysytem and law and order im offended. a punk is a punk no matter what color. everyone knows that.

just ask jerry jones.
