Imus

I'm sure it's not news for everyone, however a radio personality IMUS made the most heinous remarks about the Rutgers Women't basketball team. (This team team kicked ASS throughout the tournament) Imus, in a broadcast called them "hard, tatooed, nappy-headed hoes"; not deserving to represent the state of New Jersey. Livid does not even come close to my reaction. Al Sharpton called for his resignation; many others wanted more than his lame apology; some wante his head on a stick. I heard something interesting from Steve Harvey on his morning radio show: he said he couldn't give a damn about Imus; his beef is with the rappers and the portrayal of Black women in such derogatory terms; he blames them as the culprits for allowing an Imus to even think he could go unscathed with such ideas, let alone send them through the airwaves. Me personally, I'd like to know the sponsors of the Imus radio shows and hit them where it will hurt the most. Boycott their products. Take a stand; show some loyalty and Monetary Power. I agree with Harvey, the negativity endorsed by many from the hip hop culture, leaves a lot to be desired. I'm not saying ALL hip hop, but TOO much of it. How do we begin to turn these perceptions around? Is it too late? Has there been too much damage?
