Is she allowed to say that?...
Okay, I was going to try to keep my mouth shut, but I can't hold my tongue anymore.
This whole Imus scandal has got me irritated. In short, I hate stupid. Stupid seems to be an infectious disease, and as of now, there is no known cure. Stupid people are just allowed to walk the earth freely, endangering themselves and others.
Okay, so the man called a bunch of black women "nappy-headed hos". That would seem like something that nobody should care about, right? Wrong. Everyone is this "free" country seems to care.
First off, I've seen these women, and as a black woman, I agree with Imus; they're nappy-headed hos. The man was telling the truth, so let it be.
Second of all, wasn't there some kind of ratification to the Constitution that said something about that? Oh yeah, it was called the First Amendment. I have the right to say anything I could ever want to say, and there isn't a damn thing that should be done about it. But because we live in a country that wants to protect everyone's feelings and hurt nobody, somebody got a stick up their (insert inappropriate body part here) and complained.
Jesse Jackson has already said that he thinks Imus should "seek rehabilitation", which upsets me. The man has the right to say whatever he damn well pleases, and to hell with the rest of the world. It's sheer and utter stupidity that allowed that man to be fired and have his life torn apart.
Following this incident, the state of New York has tried to pass a law banning the word nigger. Now, I'm just a simple nigger from Ohio, but doesn't that seem like they're trying to take one huge, political dump all over our freedoms?
I think people need to grow some backbone, quit getting their feelings hurt over such simple things, and get a life! Good lord, we have dozens of soldiers dying in Iraq every week, and we're all gonna go get offended over some thousand year-old man making a comment about a basketball team?!?!
I will reiterate, I HATE STUPID.
That is all.
