Big big big huge huge huge difference. Imus was directly calling out specific people, and in a totally inappropriate manner. Yes, some rappers have issues with denigration of women, but not specific women (unless it's a 'feud'). Imus was totally in the wrong. I'm sorry if some of the players on Rutgers' team don't correspond to his idea of femininity, but they can play the game.

Smedly Dedly, the point is, Imus said something stupid and has apologized for it. If we are supposed to accept the apology by Ray Nagin for his extremely stupid and racist 'Chocolate City' remarks, then I think it should apply to Imus, also. If Al Shaprton is still best buds with The Revrunt Jacksnnn,then I am forced to ponder who the 'nappy headed ho' really is.

If you have the kids I have, then it's quite offensive. AND, that was not much of an apology. "I've gotten away with it for 30 years" don't wash in my book. Calling out SPECIFIC people isn't good enough for just a simple apology. I'm not forced to accept ANYONE'S apology. I never said I was cool with Nagin. Don't paint that broad brush, please.
