Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	What was Don Imus thinking with his horrible, racist remarks? I can't believe someone in his position would call young, female, basketball players nappy-haired ho's. Do you think two weeks suspension is enough. Like Michael from Seinfeld, he apologized but how can you ever go back and pretend it wasn't said and the attitude that goes along with those words? This just floors me. _________________________ If it doesn't feel good, don't do it twice. www.eadv.net Boomer Queen of Shoes

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Dianne, I believe guys like Imus get caught up in their own importance and just mouth off. To start, it's my opinion that NO female should be called a [ho]! That's degrading and disrespectful. Where do men get such high and might attitudes to be calling women names? I can think of few unflattering descriptions for the male gender. And I'm sure you could, too. But ladies are much kinder than that.

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I think he should be canned. There is no excuse for a radio host to speak like that in this day and age and get away with it. I'm hoping the people who sponsor his show pull out. That's what it will take for him to lose his job. Unfortuantely, it's often about money. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	I guess the network is going to let his listeners decide. After his suspension if the ratings go down, he's history. I hope he leaves. He's arrogant. _________________________ If it doesn't feel good, don't do it twice. www.eadv.net Boomer Queen of Shoes

NewLeaf Member Registered: 12/26/05 Posts: 1066 Loc: Deland, Florida	I've never heard of him. What cracks me up is that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson had to jump on it...they are hopeless! I don't agree with anyone calling another person names...but in all fairness, you should hear what my sisters here at work call eachother!!! Its hilarious! I sit in the middle of all of them and enjoy every minute. They call each other a LOT worse than that, however, no excuse for airing that kind of nonsense. _________________________ Aarikja Ann

This is what it will take. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com
