Don Imus Appears On-Air With Al Sharpton After Calling Black College Students”Nappy-Headed Hoes”
Angry critics of nationally syndicated radio host Don Imus called Saturday for his dismissal over his racially charged comments about the mostly Black Rutgers women’s basketball team. In an effort to save his racist skin, Imus is currently live on-air meddling out excuses to Rev. Al Sharpton. We don’t know what kind of Black chicks he’s been around, but we think he needs an old-fashioned, swizz ass-beating…NYC style.

“I accept his apology, just as I want his bosses to accept his resignation,” said the Rev. Sharpton. He promised to picket Imus’ New York radio home, WFAN-AM, unless the veteran of nearly 40 years of anything-goes broadcasting is gone within a week. And on the show today, Rev. Al told Imus he went to far.
We need to lynch his ass.
Sharpton was not alone in his anger over Imus’ description of the Rutgers’ women as “nappy headed hos” during a Wednesday morning segment of his show, which airs for millions of listeners on more than 70 stations and the MSNBC television network.
On Friday, after Imus delivered an on-air apology, both WFAN and MSNBC condemned his remarks. WFAN issued a statement promising to “monitor the program’s content” but Imus, a member of the National Broadcasters Hall of Fame, was not publicly disciplined.
The National Association of Black Journalists, the editor-in-chief of Essence magazine and a New York sports columnist joined the chorus against Imus.
“What he has said has deeply hurt too many people — black and white, male and female,” said NABJ President Bryan Monroe. “His so-called apology comes two days after the fact, and it is too little, too late.”
Angela Burt Murray, of Essence magazine, called on Imus’ bosses to take a harder stance over his “unacceptable” remarks. “It needs to be made clear that this type of behavior is offensive and will not be tolerated without severe consequences,” Murray said.
Columnist Filip Bondy of the Daily News, in a column headlined “Imus spews hate, should be fired,” said the radio star “should be axed for one of the most despicable comments ever uttered on the air.”

The Rutgers team, which includes eight black women, lost the NCAA women’s championship game Tuesday, and Imus was discussing the game with producer Bernard McGuirk.
“That’s some rough girls from Rutgers,” Imus said. “Man, they got tattoos …”
“Some hardcore hos,” said McGuirk.
“That’s some nappy headed hos there, I’m going to tell you that,” Imus said.
What a piece of White trash this asshole is. The hell is talking about “nappy headed.” He looks like he could use a no-lye relaxer himself.
Sharpton called the comments “abominable” and “racist” and repeated his demand that Imus be fired.
“Our agenda is to be funny and sometimes we go too far. And this time we went way too far,” Imus said on “The Al Sharpton Show.”
Earlier Monday, on his own radio show, Imus called himself “a good person” who made a bad mistake.
“Here’s what I’ve learned: that you can’t make fun of everybody, because some people don’t deserve it,” he said on his show, which is nationally syndicated to millions of listeners. “And because the climate on this program has been what it’s been for 30 years doesn’t mean that it has to be that way for the next five years or whatever because that has to change, and I understand that.”
He pointed to his involvement with the Imus Ranch, a working cattle ranch for children with cancer and blood disorders in New Mexico. Ten percent of the children who come to the ranch are black, he said.
“I’m not a white man who doesn’t know any African-Americans,” he said.
Imus said he hoped to meet the Rutgers players and their parents and coaches, and that he was grateful for the appearance on Sharpton’s nationally syndicated show.
“It’s not going to be easy, but I’m not looking for it to be easy,” Imus said.
