Don Imus

He's a shock jock, what did you expect? Everyone knows that good ol' Rev Al and Jesse Jackson are both racists, why are they not held to the same standards? Don Imus apologized, a suspension was enough, not a firing. People overreact today like you wouldn't believe. Imus should sue CBS for wrongful termination due to freedom of speech. I guess we can't say the word "nappy" anymore (at least white people can't) because black people will have a hissy fit, after all, it's a word that refers to their HAIR, nothing else.

I'm not a racist, but I am tired of affirmative action and people of other races not being held to the same standard. We can't say the "n" word, (the older "n" word) but how many times do you hear it spewed from the mouth of black people, all in the name of hip hop music and freedom of speech?

I am glad affirmative action in the state of Michigan is gone. I know that I can't get into U of M Ann Arbor on my grades alone because I will be trumped by some minority who doesn't have to work as hard to get into the 7th best school in the country. Mary Sue Coleman has to look at the state taxpayers who fund her salary and see that more than 80% of them said no more affirmative action.

It was a good thing back then when times were different. Now that black people are equals, there is no need for any program that looks at their skin color before making a judgment call. Maybe someday we will truly get past those labels and look at the person.

I think Martin Luther King Jr was a great man. He fought for the rights of black people, and he did so PEACEFULLY. He marched, he organized sit-ins, and look what he accomplished in the years he was here. Amazing, isn't it? What a novel concept, to do something without rocking the boat and get it done right. Some people still can learn from him.
