Don't call him Mr. Racial Crusader

| | Comments (1) |

Earl makes a good point below: Imus may not be a flaming racist, but he sure isn't a racial crusader.

I can't see into Don Imus' heart -- and believe me I don't want to. But I do know that many people are still raw from his tasteless and truly offensive "nappy-headed hos" comment about the Rutgers University women's basketball team members last year. Everything he says from now on will be filtered through that one instance of poor taste.

He's got free speech rights like the rest of us, but the constitution can't help him protect his reputation. And he should remember that.

In any case, someone should tell Imus that these days the only people you can make offensive remarks about with impunity are white Anglo-American men, Hispanic illegal immigrants and Britney Spears.
