My Duke/Imus Moment.

by

Last week.

Umi says, you gotta shine ya light.

In evidence class last week were discuss the rape shield laws.

Rule 412. Sex Offense Cases; Relevance of Alleged Victim’s Past Sexual Behavior or Alleged Sexual Predisposition

(a) Evidence generally inadmissible.

The following evidence is not admissible in any civil or criminal proceeding involving alleged sexual misconduct except as provided in subdivisions (b) and (c):

(1) Evidence offered to prove that any alleged victim engaged in other sexual behavior.

(2) Evidence offered to prove any alleged victim’s sexual predisposition.

Translation.

An alleged rape victims sexual history in a rape case is inadmissable.

The Duke case just came down last week, so my professor decided to use it as a “teaching moment”.

One of my colleges says,

“Well can we offer into evidence the fact that she dressed like a prostitute [I paraphrase but this is the gist of his statement”.

There were good hearted chuckles in the class as well as several FEMALE class mates looking around. Like. What? Did he just say that for real.

Personally.

I felt my HEART raise up in my throat and I KNEW that I had to say something.

I raised my hand.

She didn’t call on me.

30 seconds later.

The moment passed.

She asked, “Did I see a hand raised in the back?”

Umi says, you gotta shine.

I did a two second debate in my head.

DID I wanna be the BLACK girl, talking about the Black girl topic?

NO.

But.

My hands were sweaty so I said. Yes.

I raised my hand.

“In response to my collegue David’s statement [class laughter] regarding
the admissability of the fact that the prostitute wore prostitute like clothing.

Him.

“Oh I was just kidding.”

I didn’t THINK to say it, but IT WAS THE IMUS defense in class.

White boys love to use it.

He said it. He meant it. He SHOULD have rode for his.

Have some integrity for christ sake.

But my mind was racing at the time, and I only realized it after class.

I responded.

I know, However, some things need to stated explicity.

One has to be very careful when making a statement regarding a womans clothing in relationship to rape, because it can lead to the very dangerous inference that how a woman dresses INVITES her to be raped.

A classmate that I have sat behind for 15 weeks turned around and mouthed thank you.

At first.

I was like “thats right”.

But then I was like f*ck her.

I had to say what I needed to say, so it wasn’t on MY HEART for the rest of the week.

I ain’t your moral compass.

We all sat in the same class.

We ain’t friends.

And I am the one that the courage to speak.

Why was Imus Allow to Remain on the Air for so long? Wonkette Speaks

by

Do the right thing.

4 Words.

So simple.

But not necessarily because it requires you to think of the impact that your words AND OR your silence has on others.

Do the Right Thing Brings me to Wonkette and how she along w/ the many other White people appeared on Imus despite what he said, because he helped her shine.


As the invites kept coming, I found myself succumbing to the clubhouse mentality that Imus both inspires and cultivates. Sure, I cringed at his and his crew’s race-baiting (the Ray Nagin impersonations, the Obama jokes) and at the casual locker-room misogyny (Hillary Clinton’s a “bitch,” CNN news anchor Paula Zahn is a “wrinkled old prune”), but I told myself that going on the show meant something beyond inflating my precious ego. I wasn’t alone. As Frank Rich noted a few years ago, “It’s the only show … that I’ve been on where you can actually talk in an informed way ? not in sound bites.” Yeah, what he said!

1. For the record, a reasonable person would infer that “casual locker room” placed infront of misogyny was intended to soften the crudeness of the term misogyny.

But It doesn’t. It merely demonstrates what she thinks is acceptable language from a man that helps HER get cake.

I’m embarrassed to admit that it took Imus’ saying something so devastatingly crass to make me realize that there just was no reason beyond ego to play along. What’s more besides you can get modest nonexclusive sildenafil pills that doesn’t blaze a gap in your pocket.

I did the show almost solely to earn my media-elite merit badge. The sad truth is that unless you have a book to promote, there’s often no other reason any writer or columnist has to do the show.

Girl. Don’t be embarrased have some integrity.

And ask yourself.

What OTHER clubs am I a member of whose entrace price requires a jar of vaseline and extended periods where I suspend my integrity?

And here is where the gettin’ gets good.

It’s depressingly easy to find female journalists who will tolerate or ignore bigotry if it means getting into the boys’ club someday. (If only I were the only one.)

This astute observation brings me to another questions.

At the end of the day do the Wonkettes of the world feel more kinship w/ the nappy headed ho’s or the boys clubs of the world?

Based on her article and previous appearances. Her choice was clear.

Perhaps the future will tell us something different The Wonkettes will Do the Right Thing.

Why was Imus allowed to stay on the air for so long? White People’s Complacency w/ bigotry. Part I.

by

I thihk that its dope that Post Imus (p.i) there is more dialogue ABOUT how harmful g-rap is and a very small, yet significant conversation on about the WHITE PEOPLE who appeared to benefit on his show.

White Privilage Analysis.

De.lic.ious.

So far, only two white people have written about the benfits of rockin’ with Imus.

1. Ann Marie Cox aka Wonkette.

2. Sam Tanenhaus
Sam basically says that he was able to look the other way when it came to Imus’s bigotry because Imus helped him shine.

Cool. At least he aknowledging it.

For a period lasting many months I was one of Mr. Imus?s collaborators, or enablers ? in fact one of the more conspicuous ones. In October 1997, when I was a freelance writer, a friend phoned with the news that Mr. Imus had begun talking up my book, ?Whittaker Chambers: A Biography.? He did not succeed in making it a best seller, as he did in some other cases, but his efforts resulted, by my estimation, in an additional 10,000 sales, plenty for a densely footnoted biography with a $35 price tag.

More gratifying still were the letters and phone calls from readers, not the presumed yahoos we?ve been hearing about in recent days, but civil and courteous people from all walks of life ? students, retirees, history buffs and, in some instances, professional authors ? who also were part of Mr. Imus?s following.

Which brings me to the contributory negligence.

You see. In life. We all give up a little bit of our integrity for something.

Its the way the game is played.

Below, Sam disloses how he gave up some of his for some Imus Shine.

By now, I was tuning in regularly. It had become part of my routine: waking up each morning to WFAN and the frisson of hearing my name broadcast on the radio. Of course, I was hearing other things, too, and they were disturbing at times: slurs against black athletes, an ?impersonation? of Clarence Thomas that didn?t sound like him at all (unlike the impersonations of white figures), but instead drew on the stalest of the ?here come de judge? grotesqueries of a previous era; the almost continual soundtrack of leering sexual comments.

Today, in the harsh light of Mr. Imus?s disgrace, it is hard to explain why none of this bothered me very much. But the truth is I tuned it out. One reason, I think, is that my position seemed paradoxical. I was pleased to have been admitted into Mr. Imus?s club ? alongside famous columnists and TV pundits and celebrated authors.

My only question for Sam and other white men is, WHAT ELSE ARE YOU TUNING OUT IN ORDER TO BE A “MEMBER OF THE CLUB?”
