VIDEO: More from KC Star columnist Jason Whitlock on the Imus ‘scandal’ (ADDED:THE LATEST WHITLOCK COLUMN)
Yesterday in my general commentary post on the Imus scandal and the dropped charges against the Duke lacrosse players, I referenced a column from Jason Whitlock, who writes for the Kansas City Star, who I think nailed the REAL problem that has come out of the Imus/Rutgers ‘controversy’, and that is, that the real bad guy in all this isn’t Don Imus but instead “gangster culture.”
Where are YOUR apologies, Jesse and Al? General thoughts on Imus and the lacrosse cases
The Imus controversy couldn’t have happened at a better time for the Democrats’ favorite racist Reverends Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. The mediots are so focused on their ‘righteous outrage’ over racial comments Don Imus made about the women’s Rutgers basketball team that they are largely ignoring asking them what their thoughts are on the news that the three lacrosse players whom the Reverends proclaimed as guilty were being cleared of all charges and had been declared “innocent” by the NC Attorney General, citing a rogue Democrat district attorney by the name of Mike Nifong.
Will Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson head to London next?
Considering what Tony Blair said about knife crime and black culture?
Next time, Don Imus should just use the “artistic expression” excuse
I don’t have any particularly strong opinions about Don Imus one way or the other, other than thinking he’s always been overrated.
Weird: Don Imus on Al Sharpton’s show (MORE: IMUS’ MSNBC SIMULCASTS SUSPENDED 2 WKS.)
Is it just me or does anyone else out there feel a bit surreal about MSNBC’s Don Imus apologizing for racially insensitive comments on Al Sharpton’s radio show?
