Imus and Hip Hop
Does Don Imus listen to rap music?
People kill other people, people smoke crack, people lie... Does that mean that I should do it because they do it?
I believe that this is a diversion. Why were Imus' comments offensive? You have to understand the impact that slavery and white supremacy have had on the African American community. If you understand that then you would not be surprised by the outrage expressed in the community.
How has this Imus situation shifted to black rappers and censorship? If I went to work and made racial and sexist slurs against a specific person or people, than I would have to suffer the consequences for those actions.
