I've never understood why people listen to smart-aleck jerks
on trash radio like Don Imus and Howard Stern who get paid a lot of money to
say nothing of substance but say it in a pseudo-clever, hyper-cynical,
juvenilely outrageous way.
But I sure am enjoying watching him squirm. This is great karma. His public persona, with the phony cowboy
hat, the gravel voice, the wrinkled glower, was of a super tough guy, as tough
as say, the British Royal Marines.
Turns out he's as much of a surrender pussy as they are.
Imus should exchange his cowboy hat for a dhimmi head scarf
like that worn by Pelosi Galore or Limey sailorwoman Faye Turney to best
signify his submission to the gods of political correctness.
If he were as smart and tough as his image pretends he is,
he would never have apologized for his graceless remark about the Rutgers
women's basketball team. Instead he
would have told the joke about the Miss Ebonics beauty pageant.
Turns out the pageant only allowed contestants from 49 states. The sponsors wouldn't permit a Miss I-da-ho.
For those of you not literate in Ebonics - black American
slang - "I da ho" literally translates as "I'm a whore."
"Ho," in other words, is not a white racist term. It is a black slang term used by black
"gangsta" rap singers as their favorite term - along with "bitches" - to refer
to black women.
This has been going on for over 20 years: the disgusting degradation and hatred of
black women by black men in black rap music.
Where have Imus's enraged critics been for the last two decades?
The PC crowd evidently thinks it's okay for black men to
spew genuine hatred for black women in the most vile way - but it's
"inexcusable" and "despicable" when a white man, whom no one accuses of
actually hating women, black or otherwise, tells a joke using a black slang
term.
Now, if that's all this teapot tempest is, yet another
example of bottomless PC hypocrisy and Al Sharpton's unceasing effort to prey
on white guilt, it'll soon be replaced by the next media frenzy.
The real question is whether the Imus scandal will wreck the
presidential candidacy of Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.
Already the stories are appearing, like in the Boston
Globe, about Gumby not "taking the lead" in denouncing Imus or calling for
his public execution. The reason why he
hasn't is he doesn't want to draw attention right now to the support he's been
receiving from black rappers like Ludacris.
Take this recent AP story, Sen. Obama, rapper Ludacris meet
for a chat. Talking with Obama was
"like meeting with a relative," the rapper gushed. "We talked about empowering the youth."
Not a word of criticism from the Obamarama for Ludacris'
"empowering" young black women by not only repeatedly calling them whores in
his songs, but even entitling one of them Ho. If you have the stomach for it, here are the
lyrics to Ludacris'
Ho.
Imus will have performed a real public service if his
scandal ends up highlighting Obama's political cowardice. This could turn out to be a terrific
two-fer: Imus's tawdry career and
Obama's shallow candidacy gone with the wind.
Gumby could go back to accomplishing nothing in the Senate
as before, and Imus could retire to a remote ranch somewhere out West... say in
Idaho.
