LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Shock jock Don Imus, who has made a career out of outrageous comments, was suspended on Monday for making racist remarks by both the radio and television networks that carry his program.
CBS Radio and MSNBC, which broadcasts the radio show on television, suspended Imus for two weeks for saying the mostly black Rutgers University women's basketball team looked like a bunch of "nappy-headed hos."
[...]
- "CSB/MSNBC hired him knowing what he is like, so they shouldn't be penalizing him for doing what he does."
- "He said a racist thing and should be fired immediately."
Fucking shit.
Lyrics in rap songs are more derogatory than anything to ever the radio and teevee airwaves, but yet those are not only totally acceptable, but they're worth a fucking fortune.
You don't see Al Sharpton clouding up and raining all over rappers asses.
