I'm the victim

I don't care for Don Imus. I've listened to him in the past and will admit that when I've changed the dial I was a bit better informed than I was when I first tuned in. Some of his bits were funny years ago ( my favorite was the Wilford Brimley Turkey Stuffing bit) but I don't see him as the radio powerhouse that I guess he is or used to be. he was good for killing about 6 minutes in traffic.

But the persecution of Imus kind of baffles me. In the simplest of terms, I don't see that he did anything worse than other DJ's have done, or rappers , or comedians or TV shows. I can site countless instances where not only black people, but people of pretty much all races have taken it on the chin. Look at SNL or Mad TV. Look at the atrociously racist stuff that Chris Rock spews. Look at UPN when it was around (Homeboys in Outer Space??? )

Spike Lee is perhaps one of the biggest racists I know. Why doesn't anyone come down on Carlos Mencia? George Lopez consistently bashes white people against Mexicans and he's on a top 20 TV show. Can I sue him too?

I know how ridiculous this is going to sound, but I'm going to say it anyway. In this melting pot of cultures that we live in, who's offended when the white guy gets insulted? Can I be indignant every time it happens. Can I complain every time Chris Rock decides he wants to belt out "I hate white people!" Didn't Richard Pryor & Eddie Murphy make their bones by joking about how the white man kept them down?

Well, I'm not that white man, the same way the Rutgers basketball team aren't nappy headed hoes.

Are there nappy headed hoes out there? You bet there are. In fact, they've obviously made more of an impression on people than the attractive well coifs educated virgin young ladies.

Well, now every time someone insults the white man, i should have a right to retain legal counsel. I should be able to demand they are fired. I should be able to get a group of other middle class middle aged somewhat portly follicle challenged white guts together and demand restitution.

I have to think there's a TV lawyer who would take this on a contingency basis. Imagine what I can make from Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson....
