Racism is alive and well if you're a white man in America. You are the minority to be attacked and used as an excuse for everything from stealing from lazy welfare recipients to creating AIDS.

RE:"I don't think you can get upset with Imus calling some black women nappy headed, but calling a bunch of women whores (for no apparent reason) is wrong. But it's not racist, it's just a plain old insult." Imus should have these women on his show and apologize. He owes them an apology more than anyone. He simply said a hurtful thing when he called them Ho's for no reason with no basis. Meanwhile, I expect Sharpton to stand against Rappers who degrade black women by using the N word and calling them whores. At least Bill Cosby has it right.

I don't think you can get upset with Imus calling some black women nappy headed, but calling a bunch of women whores (for no apparent reason) is wrong. But it's not racist, it's just a plain old insult. Well let me ask......Elroy is a name more common among blacks than whites. What would your reaction be if I referred to you as a nappy headed moron? Do you think I was being racist? Here are some photos of the Rutger's Women Basketball team.......there are white women on the team as well as black women. Why did Imus only refer to the black women? scarletknights.com
