Did you Just Say My Hair is a Mess? Where's Al Sharpton?

So everyone seems to have an opinion on Don Imus lately, so here's mine.

Imus as an idiot. He said something he shouldn't have said, and not he's paying for it. Public humiliation. Suspension. Advertisers pulling out. MSNBC bails out. But should he be fired from his radio show? No.

If you don't like Don Imus, don't listen to him. Nobody's forcing you. That's the argument people have when you talk about the rappers and comedians who make money to be racist and/or degrade women. If you're offended, don't listen. I'd be offended by rap lyrics, so I don't listen. I'm not offended by Chris Rock, so I listen (even he said in his last special, "I'm tired of having to defend rap"). I'm not offended by Imus, so I listen (on occasion).

Here is a link for a column by Jason Whitlock of the Kansas City Star. An African-American, he says that the black community has more important things to worry about than Don Imus.

Imus isn’t the real bad guy
