Imus on WILD-AM Today

Time to get off the fantasy island, deflecting, and finger pointing at everyone from archie bunker to chris rock and get a grip on FACTS:

Fact #1: Because hate radio generates profits, and is popular among mainstream white audiences, mainstream white radio racists like imus and severin can get away with it. It’s no secret that racism is alive and well in America, you don’t need to attend a klan meeting to know that.. All you need to do is tune in to your local broadcast on radio and tv.. much how the Nazis came to power with their derogatory “comedic” banter about the Jews, while the majority defended “free speech” and/or stood by in silent agreement… ”

Fact #2 As long as you are white radio racist who can make a fortune for sponsors, you can rant and rave against any minority group, any minority religion, any minority ethnic group. Just ask stern/servein/graham/ imus etc. who derive a hefty living from it..

Fact #3 As long as white audiences love it and doesn’t complain about vulgar racist remarks on the airwaves, a self pitying “mea culpa” is the order of the day. Of course the half hearted phony apologies are doled out only after decent people speak out.. followed by the familiar “ ok I apologized now get over it”..
In case you haven’t figured it out, it’s not his audience calling for Imus to be fired. White leaders, are not calling press conferences to demand that Imus be fired. Their silence= approval
Fact #4
The only color that counts in this country besides white is Green. The holy dollar.(profits ) decide the line of morality in America, not principle.

Money is the lifeblood of society. On that count we agree.

But I'd submit that Farrakhan is equally responsible for hate speech in this country. Jackson's "Hymietown" as well.

Once again. you cannot point the finger of racism without first acknowledging that it's a pair of dice with multiple faces. Each with its own ugly face.

And occasionally...everyone craps out.
