ever heard of rap music? http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2007/08/14/rutgers-kia-vaughn-sues-don-imus-for-nappy-headed-ho-comment/

A friend of mine and I was having a serious discussion about this yesterday. We are both black women and I told her that I didn’t care what Don Imus said, because this man offends everybody. I thought him getting fired was a little over the top but a punishment should have been set in place for his insensitive remarks.

My friend said that he was white and he shouldn’t have said that period and he deserved to be fired.

I disagreed with her on that even though I understood where she was coming from. Don Imus is an entertainer. A shock jock. Your average rapper is also an entertainer and what he or she says is shocking too.

Black women are looked down upon nowadays and a big reason for that is because of the way we are portrayed in the media, specifically by rappers and comedians. If we are going to start suing people for devaluing us, let’s not just sue Don Imus.
