Title: I Was Wrong: Imus IS A Racist

Video included.

I was fighting tooth and nail about how stupid the circus surrounding his "nappy headed ho" comment was. In fact, I still maintain that there was nothing racist about that statement, and certainly nowhere near worthy of the firestorm it caused.

This is just a flat-out racist comment not possible of defending, though I'm sure GarMan will try.

My question is, after all the accusations of racism for saying "Nappy headed ho", how do you think saying something like this is ok?

Don't you have a gay wedding to attend?

I can't defend that statement.  Sorry...  That was just stupid.  I bet that his rationale behind it has something to do with the "we're all victims" crowd, but race has nothing to do with it.  What an idiot!
