Thread Name: BS: Don Imus replacment
Subject: RE: BS: Don Imus replacment
Good people who are honestly concerned about the use of racist and miscegenist slang terms shouldn't just rest on their laurels after forcing Don Imus into losing his job. The following is a list of companies who sell and sponsor such slander for profit on a daily basis. Why not demand they drop these terms? Better yet, because of the depth of their past transgressions, demand the resignation of their CEOs!
