‘What Color is He?’ Don Imus Raises Race Card Regarding Troubled NFL Star
Politico: On “Imus in the Morning” Monday, the controversial radio host Don Imus — who was fired last year for making racist and sexist remarks about the Rutgers University women’s basketball team — made a racially freighted comment about another African-American athlete.
Its almost hard to believe that Imus could say this in the wake of the unending controversy over the Rutgers’ women BBall team.
It clearly seems like a racist comment and he doesn’t even try to amend it.

He’s a Shock Jock – He’s going to say things that create controversy and media hype! It is what it is! Maybe he’s just trying to get our attention to see what really is up with the OVERPAID players!
GameGrrlJune 23rd, 2008 - 1:12 pm
You don’t hear about other races in the NFL going out and trying to be wanna-be gangstas … He’s merely asking what color he is, because it’s true and it’s what is expected from them. Shame on them .. try working for your money. Stay home, work out, stop doing drugs!!! EARN YOUR MONEY! I’m tired of these players thinking their unstoppable and can do what they want on their private time!

Gaaawd, i am so sick of this black and white feud. We have lost entire states to the nation of Mexico. Yet, we remained fixated on blacks, who are not even a minority compared to the Hispanic. Ten years from now, both white and black “AMERICANS” will regret the silly in-fighting.
Congratulations Spanish-speaking immigrants. We gave America to you.
P.S.
I know what i speak, i used to live in Miami.

Imus, speaking truth to power.

Stop all war, bring peace, disarm the USA, disband the military and provide for the poor. Watch the video and vote for Obama!
Why would the jews who started the NAACP and then a year later the Black Urban League want this white/black racial thing to continue all these years?
In fact, have caused it to happen with their owned media fomenting it?
BamBamJune 23rd, 2008 - 1:22 pm
Gee…what color is 99% of the people in trouble in sports,13% of the population 52% of the prisoners…Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmm….just think if they were half of the population we might be like….Ohhh My God….Africa…Can I say that without being…OOOOOOOOOOO politically correct even though I am right. As Bugs would say….I am a baaaad boy.

Whoever wants socialism for America .. is not a TRUE american! You’re a freakin’ Moron if you vote for Obama. When you’re in a hospital bed, dieing of cancer and need radiation .. do you think your socialism medicine will be there? NO .. cause you’ll be on a WAITING list .. and chances of you getting the treatment you need on time .. is not good! WAKE UP morons! Better research before you vote .. idiot sevants!

Of course the P.O.S. Biden is buying the V.P. position by using his son, the current Attorney General of Delaware, to lock up Obama’s smoking gun, Larry Sinclair.
Read all about these wonderful people who will be bringing the U.S. a new beginning:
Give me a fricking break…Where were the comments when the “chosen one” Barack Hussain Obama called me a “typical white person??!!!!” The double standard is way too overused…it’s okay for you call me anything, but I can’t even ask about you or it’s “racial!!” Bite me…black or white!!!!
RoverJune 23rd, 2008 - 1:57 pm
This is so upsetting to me now I will be put in a position to apologize to all my black friends for anothers hateful racist remark. Imus is a racist and should be pulled from the public airwaves. Shame, shame, shame on Imus the racist. Imus should do himself a favor and educate himself in a Black American Understanding forum. I’ve attended several and now I fully grasp the struggle of the Black American. From the comments I have read it would help many in these blogs with their racist tendencies.
By the way Obama was not being racist when he remarked typical white person. If anything he brought to light how most white people feel about peopole of color. Obama is brillant in this regard he actually educated many when they did not even know it.

What ever happened to “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me”?
Don’t people realize when someone calls you a derogatory name and you react ALL you are doing is validating what they said?! You just gave them power over you. Air leaving their lungs and forming a sound just over powered you. You were just beat by a sound.
I am going to become wealthy as soon as I can invent “Joe’s Thicker Skin Cream”, for those who get broken bones from sticks and stones AND words.
DevJune 23rd, 2008 - 2:05 pm
If Obama can use the race card all the time, why not Imus? Obama seems to think it is legitimate but only when it comes to whities. That man has made race such a terrible issue just to get elected. He should be ashamed of himself. I hope he goes down in flames and that there is not only a whitey tape by Michelle, but one by Obama….oh that’s right, you just have to read his books…don’t quote them though or you’ll be a racist.
The jerk isn’t qualified no matter what color he is. People thing they are being progressive but they are being duped. Nothing he says he means.
DudeJune 23rd, 2008 - 2:19 pm
oh,oh,oh
as vinnie barborino would say
you people who are so upset need to get over it, your killing the world with your over the top PC
he simply brought up color and your seething and foaming at the mouth. keep your PC to your self and dont let your double standards show SO MUCH

Talk about showing racial prejudices……..what the hell would your problem be, if the answer to Imus’ question would have been ….white?????
Ignorance does not have color boundaries….get a grip and move on. Pacman is an idiot,repeatedly, and his color has nothing to do with his intelligence levels or good (bad) judgement.
ChelseaJune 23rd, 2008 - 2:54 pm
Well we have seen the hatred and racism from the black community is much worse than Imus and it’s acceptable because of things that happened over a 100 years ago. Black on white racism in t.v. and comedy seems to be a-ok, it was bound to backfire. Even Obama and his cronies are using it as well as the Press. Not sure why, but it’s out there. Black theology and black churches are teaching it along with black parents. I don’t see how this is going to help them at all as they are only 12.7 percent of the population. The hatred they have is towards Asians, mostly Koreans and Hispanics. Hatred breeds hatred and does nothing but hurt everyone. This makes other races hate also, it’s a never ending cycle. Thank God most people do grow up and live among each other. But there is an increase in all black communities, which is no better than the fundamentalist Muslim communities. Hate is a powerful thing if not controlled.
Imus is a shock jock and other DJ’s who are black use even more horrible racist comments. As do their television shows and movies. It will only end up having everyone hate them. Hate again breeds hate, there is no good to come from it. As long as churches and t.v. and radio get away with it, it won’t stop. It’s in the schools too.
He gotta brotha and sista on the show now and still downing us.
Guess they just there fo show.
YeaRightJune 23rd, 2008 - 3:21 pm
Personally from the day I first saw Don Imus on TV I really didn’t understand why he was there. I can understand him being on the radio. He is just so dang ugly and always wears that stupid cowboy hat looking like a fake cowboy out of some B movie. Then I hear his voice and it gets under my skin. Don’t know why, I just can’t stand him and he makes my skin crawl. Wouldn’t suprise me at all if he’s got some other nasty secrets in the closet. Can’t stand em.
As for the black community and your racist attitude in the urban areas. Unless your going to do something with all that hate your breeding, I suggest you find a better way to get ahead. Teaching your kids to hate the blue eyed devils will do nothing for you. If you want to hate, go to Africa where they kill each other over different shades of black. The truth is the black community does not run this country, get over it, get an education, and work your way to the top. Losers
Jim WhiteJune 23rd, 2008 - 3:35 pm
The rest of the people on here supporting Imus won’t say it, but I will: We can hear them under our beds whispering, “Get Whitey, Get Whitey.” It keeps us up all night and we are very tired, which explains our poor spelling and grammar.

Rover wrote “By the way Obama was not being racist when he remarked typical white person. If anything he brought to light how most white people feel about peopole of color. Obama is brillant in this regard he actually educated many when they did not even know it.” you could say the same about Imus By the way Imus was not being racist when he remarked what color is he/ well there you go. If anything he brought to light how most black people act in public and feel about white people . Imus is brillant in this regard he actually educated many when they did not even know it. Rover will you ever end your white guilt? When is it enough? How long will you continue to pay a debt that is not yours. Did whites not repay the debt owed to slaves by giving them freedom? Please tell me how money will remove the sins of slavery the modern day black seems to be having such a hard time dealing with, money is just that money and has nothing to do with freedom. THEY have freedom.
DeebowJune 23rd, 2008 - 4:40 pm
Kidz is crazy. My daughters are:18, 17, 16, 14, 14, 14, 12, 10, 8, 7, 5, 4, and 2. But I never gonna take no blood test. Maury Povich keeps call =in my ass to go on his sho, but I don’t want to no if doze my babies. Babies=$$$$

CrackerJune 23rd, 2008 - 4:43 pm
yea she got a lot of junk in the trunk. I’ll take the 18 one if her names coolade. im not calling her back though
DeebowJune 23rd, 2008 - 4:46 pm
her name is tameequa or Zakeria or Molly. I forget. She don’t like white guys, her momz taught her to fear whitey. And my disrespect for her mom made her hate men. So she only dates other black girls.
CrackerJune 23rd, 2008 - 4:47 pm
You see people, a poor white cracker can find common grounds with a poor black man. Its all the same. Now pass me the Red Dog Dog
DeebowJune 23rd, 2008 - 4:52 pm
Cracker is right. an hour ago I hated white america, but with the help of Cracker i see it differently. We alls aint that different (other then the snake in my pants).
So big ups to Cracker and a Red Dog for him. I’ll sip my Colt 45 and light this blunt and hope that ya’ll can learn from us.
GoodforHimJune 23rd, 2008 - 5:00 pm
People are fed up with the “hiding” of ethnic and/or racial identification when news items are reported. What is the point of even hearing a news story if the CHIEF IDENTIFYING ELEMENT of the criminal/perpetrator (oops, guess that should say ALLEGED criminal/perpetrator) is always “protected” out of political correctness?! Americans want to KNOW what (and who) it is we should be on the LOOKOUT for!!!
randeeJune 23rd, 2008 - 5:31 pm
Sure miss Imus in the morning on TV. He always was irreverent and funny. The NFL guy he asked about….hello….most NFL guys arrested are black. They have all the fame and all the money and they still act like street punks.We need to quit glorifying sports figures. Our celebrity obsessed world helps create these punks.
I hope Imus does not cave and apologize since it appears only whites have to apologize for perceived”racial ” comments.
LarryJune 23rd, 2008 - 5:33 pm
Imus wanted to know if he was white or black because he knows he’s not allowed to make fun of black people anymore. He’s been back for 6 months and hasn’t said anything negative about an african american one time. He will go after everyone else except that. If pacman was white, Imus would have spent more time on it. Why are so many nfl players getting arrested? Go to http://www.nflcrimes.com. Its shocking.

TomBrooklynJune 23rd, 2008 - 6:37 pm
His comment was both responsible and relevant, as well as funny in a way, although I was about 95% sure of the answer before it was given.
Why not make the point that something like 90% of violent crime in this country is committed by Blacks? For a problem to be addressed it needs to be defined. Imus does this in this case.
BrianJune 23rd, 2008 - 7:05 pm
My god, stop creating news out of nothing. Nothing to see here. There’s no middle area anymore, no context. Its either family safe or hate speech. There is NOTHING wrong or racist with what Don Imus does. If you don’t like it, turn the dial. Enough of this.

What color is Rev. Al Sharpton?

What color is Rev. Jeremiah Wright?

What color is Bishop Desmond Tutu?

Quote from follow-up article linked on Drudge:
“‘I find the inference of his remark disturbing because it plays into stereotypes,’” Sharpton said in a statement. ‘We will determine in the next day or so whether or not his remark warrants direct action on our part.’”
Aw, come on, Al! Get over this! You’re sounding paranoid and pi$$y if a person cannot even ALLUDE to an arrestee’s RACE, and in fact cannot even ASK WHAT COLOR IS HE??? You better get USED TO IT, because people are getting really fed up with this hush-hush about RACE and ETHNICITY in the news.
Besides, EVERYBODY knows that within the heart of EVERY stereotype resides a kernel of TRUTH.
By the way, what “ACTION on your part” did you have in mind? More protests in an attempt to get Imus fired? Well, here’s a thought: How about some PROTEST “action on your part” *against* BLACK CRIMINALS and ARRESTEES TAINTING YOUR RACE’S REPUTATION–just for a little change of pace???
Would be so refreshing for ALL OF US!
If you really want to express OUTRAGE, why not, for a change, PLACE THE BLAME WHERE IT BELONGS? Focus on the perpetrators instead of those who merely wish to DISCUSS what’s going on.
tfJune 23rd, 2008 - 11:25 pm
what’s racist about ” well there you go”…if it sounds and acts like a duck…it’s probably a duck…where are we wrong on this line of thinking?
that sounds like Tennessee’s Parole Board…the chairman (black) requires the race of the victim in rape cases to be edited out because he doesn’t want the board members being biased against the black inmate that is sitting in front of them for raping a white woman…how about THAT Mr. Fung!?
RobertJune 24th, 2008 - 1:22 am
The segment appears to have had a common theme with earlier segments. While talking about Tiger Woods winning the U.S. Open, Imus asked about the race of runner-up Rocco Mediate.

Adam and Eve - Eve Was A Black Women Adam could have been (?)August 8th, 2008 - 11:42 pm
The Human Race Started in Africa
The contention would also violate Mendel law. Mendel, the father
of genetics, stated that Black genes were Dominant and White
Genes were recessive and that a recessive cannot produce a
dominant, meaning if you had began with White people, you
would not have got Black People………………………………
THIS SITE CONFIRMING THAT EVE WAS BLACK PRODUCING
ALL RACES….This information comes from the website that I just
posted at the top (The Human Race Started in Africa) White
people can’t produce darker skinned people.
This sites confirms The mother of all races Eve was ( A Black
Woman) as for Adam he may have been (?) not sure
because.. Black genes were dominant and White genes were
recessive and that a recessive cannot produce a dominant.
But Eve a (Black) mother of all races………………………… thats
why we have different shades of races today………………………….
…………because a white woman has Recessive Genes can’t
produce darker races and the black woman has the Dominant
Genes that means the blacks have the strongest genes of all
races…………. she can produce all skin tones…………………..
A white man and a white women could never ever produce dark
skin tone because they are Recessive Genes.
Only a black women can have babies of every skin tone because
she’s the Dominant Gene.That’s why you see black men and
black women with features of other races but mostly the black
women they have features of Asians,Indians,Hispanics,Latina’s
Women and so on.
God gave the Black women the full package starting with the
Dominant Gene,full lips,curves,big butts,and most of them with
big breast,black women also have the most Exotic Features and
Exotic skin Tones along with different hair textures no other
race have the full package but the Black Women.. God made
Black Women the mother of all Races.
Make sure you copy and paste this link it explains more….
Scientist did gene studies on all races and found out the
Black Genes were the only gene pool that were mixed with
every race. Also a study was done with 20 white people
and 15 black people scientist confirmed that white people
only had White Genes they weren’t mixed with any other
race but the white race. But the 15 Black Genes were mixed
with every race. This proves that Adam and Eve Could have
never been White…The Black Gene is the Dominant Gene
of all race and is the only Gene that can produce All Skin
Tones and All Features of every Race.
May 11, 1986, Newsweek magazine published a story of
a Blackman eating a fruit from a Black woman. It was titled:
“The African Eve”. In January 26, 1987, Time Magazine had
another photograph of a Black woman with a headline, “Our
Genealogical mother from Africa”. All the other Euro-American
magazines, The Economist, Philadelphia, Science News, Organic,
Inquirer, Natural History, Nature, BJS and recently The New
York Times book of the month, wrote about the subject.
Its almost hard to believe that Imus could say this in the wake of the unending controversy over the Rutgers’ women BBall team.
It clearly seems like a racist comment and he doesn’t even try to amend it.
