Imus : 0. Nappy Headed Ho’s: 2. Advertisers are Pulling Ad’s. NICE!

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Companies including Procter & Gamble Co. and Staples Inc. are pulling advertisements from Don Imus’ show due to the shock jock’s on-air racial slur about the Rutgers University women’s basketball team.

Cincinnati, Ohio-based P&G also withdrew its sponsorship.

“Effective Friday, April 6, we pulled all P&G’s brand advertising from the MSNBC daytime rotation,” said P&G spokeswoman Jeannie Tharrington. P&G would not advertise again “until we can evaluate the Imus situation fully,” she said.

Imus: 0. Nappy Headed Ho’s: 1.

Update. Your boy has been suspended.

The Rutgers team is going to “meet” with him.

Here are some interesting quotes that I have collected around the internet.
The players said today that,

We just hope to come to some type of understanding of what the remarks really entailed,” said team captain Essence Carson. “We [would] just like to express our great hurt ? the sadness that [this] has brought to us.”

Carson, Coach C. Vivian Stringer and other players described how Imus’ remarks and the controversy that followed overwhelmed their achievement.

“We were stripped of this moment by the degrading comments made by Mr. Imus last Wednesday,” said sophomore Heather Zurich. “We were insulted and, yes, we were angry.”

The coach ,

Stringer, the coach, said her team was hurt by the remarks, but that the issue reaches beyond those 10 women. She also called on the nation — and national media companies — to reject hateful speech such as Imus’.

“This is not about the Rutgers women’s basketball team, it’s about women — are women ho’s? Would you want your daughter to be called that?” she asked. “It’s not about them as black people … it’s about us as a people. … I don’t know how anybody could have heard this and not been personally offended.”

Some New York Times readers respond,

Frankly, I think he should be fired. It won?t happen but it should. Imus? comments were horrid, hateful, and abusive as well as racist. In most private companies, remarks made like that during the course of business would result with firing and probably a number of sensitivity sessions. What makes me sad is that Imus, CBS, and MSNBC executives believe that a few ?mea culpas? are enough to smooth this thing over. I am a black women with 2 children. This is not funny. It is damaging.

If you think Imus is an insensitive, childish, clod then don?t listen to him for two weeks.

Mr. Imus has apologized again and again. Let?s forgive and move on.

Allowing Imus to remain in his job sends a message that racism is acceptable and excusable. Regular people lose their jobs, every day, for less offensive conduct.

Punished? What is this Romper Room? He should be FIRED. I cannot walk into my office and refer to the black women employed there as ?nappy headed hos,? without losing my job for being grossly offensive and cruel. Why should Imus get to keep his?

Imus is probably one of the most racially tolerant shock jocks of them all. Although his comments were not politically correct, he?s a funny guy and his program is interesting and oddly enough, informative as well. Firing Don Imus will not advance anyone?s civil rights one iota, it will merely push racism further underground and create a backlash that may hurt those that were supposed to be helped in the first place. Let?s all take a chill pill here and then decide how we want to handle a situation that can escalate into something unintended.

Do Fortune 500 Companies believe Black Women are Nappy Headed Ho’s?

by



If fortune 500 companies do not believe that the Black women are “nappy headed hoes”, then they must pull advertising from his show.

An entites budget is one of its most vocal tools.

Former New York media critic Philip Nobile has made a crusade of documenting Imus’ awful racial remarks, including calling the highly-regarded black journalist Gwen Ifill a “cleaning lady” when she was sent to cover the White House for the New York Times.

Imus3 Nobile also noted Imus admitted to 60 Minutes that producer Bernard McGurk was brought on “to do nigger jokes,” called Washington Post media critic Howard Kurtz a “boner-nosed Jewboy,” called Patrick Ewing “the missing link,” Shaquille O’Neal “a car-jacker in shorts,” and the Knicks “chest-bumping
pimps.

It’s been easy to ignore his nonsense because I find the show so boring I never watch it. And critics such a Nobile who have taken on Imus have paid a price, as the celebrities and journlists who frequent his show find it easier to disparage the critics than turn away from the book sales and TV ratings Imus fans deliver.

But turning away from this is wrong. Pretending it’s all in good fun is wrong. And with Imus show growing in popularity — the Washington Post noted a 35 percent jump in ratings from last year — it’s time to demand this crusty knucklehead join the 21st century.


How and where and entity spends its money is indicitive of what it supports, tolerates and believes in.

There are a LOT of African American women, men as well as other white folks, asian folks, and latin folks that find Imus’s statement offensive.

The National Association of Black Journalists today called on journalists to boycott Imus’ show until he sincerely apologizes and cleans up his act.

Matthews_imus_2 I wonder if NBC will do the same? Will regular Imus guests like Sen. Joe Lieberman, Meet the Press host Tim Russert and presidential candidate Sen. John McCain do the same?

Hard to believe that, in 2007, you still have to make a case for shunning a guy who slings around slurs about black people and Jews like it’s 1957.


We are talking about teachers, police officers, federal and state employees who have have 401k’s.

They invest.

And not only do they invest, but they invest in funds that advertise on Imus’s show.

Do you see where I am going with this?

Imus Talks.

But Money talks louder.

Here is an excerpt of Imus on Kobe:

Meantime, this morning on Don Imus’s morning radio show, which attracts guests the likes of Senator Orrin Hatch, conservative commentator and gadflies Pat Buchanan and Joe Scarborough, Vice President Dick Cheney and Sen. John McCain, Imus’s producer chimed up with ridicule of the new husband of the woman who accused NBA star Kobe Bryant of raping her.

Radio Personalities get fired all the time.

1. Star, from Hot 97, we all know about that.

2. Dave Lenihan, Called Condelizza Rice a “coon.”

3. Trish Maney and Lucas. (A Sacramento area radio station fired employees in reaction to a tragedy in which a woman died Friday after an on-air water-drinking contest at the station’s studios.

4. Michael Graham’s, called Islam a “Terror organzation”.

5. Bob Lonsberry who is white, joked on-air about an orangutan that escaped a zoo, then commented the animal was now running for county executive. The then Mayor of Rochester, William Johnson, Jr, was running for county executive.

Its time for Imus to meet the Pink Slip Guillioutine.

to time.

4. This n*gga was a card carrying member of the NRA.

5. He told me I had a _____ me face. Lol.

6. He read Feds & Don Diva.

7. Taught me the correct pronounciation of Camus. [Kam-OO]. [Not Kam- US].

work relationships and personal relationships were differnt. (It found it to be a
a nice way to say lighten up).
