1. Imus' firing is utter BS! How long have we listened to the VERY racist Sharpton and Jackson? Give me a break...why is it okay for African Americans to use some dialect but, the minute a Caucassian does...BOOM, you have the NAACP and every other AA group after you! TRUE AMERICAN H?Y?POCRISY!!
First Couric and now Imus...bye bye NBC! I have had it with your network...

4. Imus was wrong but it is alright for the Reverend's Sharpton & Jackson to say and do things against God and man and that is okay. Why do people black & white follow them like puppy dogs? why can they be forgiven for saying things out of school but not anyone else? I think since Imus apoligized and was going to meet with the women from Rutgers then we should have waited to see what that outcome would be instead of listening to the Reverends.

6. ALL SHARPTON, JESSE JACKSON AND OTHERS TALK ABOUT HOW A CERTAIN RACE HAS AND CONTINUES TO OPENLY AND BLATENTLY SHOW RACISM AND MALICE TOWARDS MINIORITIES. WHAT IMUS DID WAS RACIST AND MALICIOUS.
SOME SHOCK, POKE FUN, AND MAKE US THINK. WHY DO PEOPLE DEFEND SUCH OBVIOUS RACISM? ARE WE STILL LIVING IN THE 1950'S?

9. Very poor Joke..BUT why is it OK for Blacks to make cracks about whites.. but not the opposite. I think he was in very poor taste and shouldn't have gone there. But heck he's old and doesn't always think before engaging his mouth. Stern moved.. so can he.

11. I am a single white mother and far from racists. We were living in a bad part of town and was a minority, I always encouaged my children to play with others no matter of the color, they were coming in crying from the rcaial comments towards them and even the day care was calling all the little black kids niggas and my kids would come home saying that. I had to fight to get them out of the schools and even the area because of the racism that the black kids was learning from home. I think it is not fair when a good white man says one bad thing he is persecuted for it. He does so much good in the world and he needs to be reconized for the good and not for the bad, but the bible does say the world hated me first and you will be persecuted because of me but be hold I overcame the world. This is a prophecy being filled but with help from other christains, Don will also overcome.

12. The "Revs" Sharpton and Jackson as the moral authority is outrageous.
Advertisers responding to their racist hate is inexcusable.
