Obviously, it is Imus that is objectionable. It can't be that what he said is offensive. Def Comedy Jam is full of those terms. Spike Lee was, accurately, quoted (albeit, Imus had the wrong movie). And, don't tell me that only blacks can use these words without offrending. When a black celebrity is chastised for villifying whites, I will take this foolishness more seriously.
I am not a Don Imus fan. I heard him once and once was enough but he should not be painted as a racist for this incident. If Dave Chapelle can call them ho's,so can Imus.
And, speaking of Spike Lee, where was the rightous indignation when he said the reason his films were not recieving Oscars was that the industry was run by Jews. Sauce for the goose.....
