MSNBC To Fire Imus, According To TVNewser

No matter how much "news" comes out of this, MSM, you do not have the power to make me give a fig either way.

In more news I don't care about, Rosie defends Imus, which is predictable, given that she's in a similar situation, Michelle Malkin notes the top four rap singles use the terms "ho" and "nigga" like there's a Spring Slur Sale on at Target, and Snoop Dogg says it's different when he calls black girls nigga ho's because, and I quote,

We're talking about ho's that's in the 'hood that ain't doing shit, that's trying to get a nigga for his money.... We are rappers that have these songs coming from our minds and our souls that are relevant to what we feel.

David Duke just emailed me to say, "Hey, those are the kind of nigga ho's I'm always going on about, too! And believe me, it comes right from my mind and soul and is relevant to what I feel."

I feel stupid even posting this.

Crucified By The FCC: MSNBC announces end of Imus simulcast, which means they'll have to put together a new morning show that gets zero ratings; and the FCC will give Imus the full Stern treatment for his deeply offensive remarks.

They might also want to check out rap stations that may have played this Easy E song from back in the day:

so i grabbed the stupid bitch by her nappy-ass weave
she started talkin shit, wouldnt you know
reached back like a pimp, slapped the hoe

David Duke just emailed me again to say "That song touches my soul."

Thanks to Jay for that.

From an earlier Hot Air post on this idiot story comes this article, which is some sense about nonsense:

Imus isn’t the real bad guy

Instead of wasting time on irrelevant shock jock, black leaders need to be fighting a growing gangster culture.

By JASON WHITLOCK - Columnist

Thank you, Don Imus. You’ve given us (black people) an excuse to avoid our real problem.

You’ve given Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson another opportunity to pretend that the old fight, which is now the safe and lucrative fight, is still the most important fight in our push for true economic and social equality.

You’ve given Vivian Stringer and Rutgers the chance to hold a nationally televised recruiting celebration expertly disguised as a news conference to respond to your poor attempt at humor.

Thank you, Don Imus. You extended Black History Month to April, and we can once again wallow in victimhood, protest like it’s 1965 and delude ourselves into believing that fixing your hatred is more necessary than eradicating our self-hatred.

The bigots win again.

While we’re fixated on a bad joke cracked by an irrelevant, bad shock jock, I’m sure at least one of the marvelous young women on the Rutgers basketball team is somewhere snapping her fingers to the beat of 50 Cent’s or Snoop Dogg’s or Young Jeezy’s latest ode glorifying nappy-headed pimps and hos.

I ain’t saying Jesse, Al and Vivian are gold-diggas, but they don’t have the heart to mount a legitimate campaign against the real black-folk killas.

It is us. At this time, we are our own worst enemies. We have allowed our youths to buy into a culture (hip hop) that has been perverted, corrupted and overtaken by prison culture. The music, attitude and behavior expressed in this culture is anti-black, anti-education, demeaning, self-destructive, pro-drug dealing and violent.

Rather than confront this heinous enemy from within, we sit back and wait for someone like Imus to have a slip of the tongue and make the mistake of repeating the things we say about ourselves.
