Don Imus Does It Again
Don Imus, the radio host who caught a lot of heat last year for calling the Rutgers University women’s basketball some “nappy headed hoes,” is back at his racist rants again.
Months after returning to the radio with a pledge to mend the wounds caused by his past comments, he is once again defending on-air remarks regarding race.
During an on-air conversation Monday (June 23) about the arrests of suspended Dallas Cowboys cornerback Pacman Jones, Imus asked a co-host, “What color is he?” The co-host responded by tell him that Pacman was an “African-American.” To this Imus responded: “There you go. Now we know.”
In an attempt at damage control, Imus released a statement shortly after, saying his statement was misunderstood.
“I meant that he was being picked on because he’s black,” Imus said in a statement released by his spokesman.
This guy doesn’t get it does he? He should definitely watch his mouth.

No, he should not “watch his mouth”. It’s like he’s under some white hot light and walking on egg shells with the black community.
quit being so sensitive and just look at the numbers. is he really that far off when he isn’t surprised about this player’s skin color?
i’ve seen too many posts about people targeting that man because he is black. no he is targeted because he is a criminal.
Don Imus has every right to say whatever he wants. maybe the next public outcry will be to stop all of the black DJs from bashing white people on a daily basis. let me reiterate- that happens on a _daily_ (perhaps HOURLY?) basis.
