Default Re: Don Imus

Well, if anything, given the hue and cry over this, it seems to me that a correct analogy is that Don Imus::Racial tension as straw::camel's back.

It looks like african-american communities are -finally- starting to realise that one of the main causes of racism, racial tension, and the prevalance of racial slurs in America is that they are paying african-american people millions of dollars to make a career out of degrading their own race.

I can't think of a single other ethnic group that seems to go so far out of its way to present itself as bigoted, sexist, crude, violent, criminal and obsessed with wealth and showing off wealth. The sooner it is made clear that their own people find what they're doing reprehensable, the sooner it can be put behind them.
