Don Imus on Pacman Comment: 'I Meant He Was Being Picked on Because He's Black'

Imus is an idiot. He was already chased off the radio once for racist comments, and then he says something stupid like this. He just needs to leave race alone completely, and let Howard Stern make all the jokes.

It is a shame some people have to watch every word they utter. Someone is always waiting for a slip and then blow out of porportion. There are alot of other things to get upset about. How about when God was taken out of our schools? Get on another bandwagon.Leave the man alone.

He's idiotic for even mentioning race at all--"I meant he was being picked on bc he's black?" Get tha eff outta here w/ that. His comments about the Rutgers team were offensive, but in his defense (regretably) he DID mention how "cute" or wateva the Tennessee team was. I don't know him as a person, nor do I care to, but he should know by now not to willingly interject race into conversations on air--that's just stupid.

Wrong again, Pacman will not be viewed as the victim if he indeed did something wrong. But that does not excuse the bigger idiot who is now causing a bigger problem. Like its said, a lepord can't change its spots. Everyone deserves to be forgiven, BUT.......Its like I tell my child, when someone does or says something negetive to you, its an accident, you give a person the benefit of the doubt, if it happens again, its on purpose and you deal with that person in the mannar that's called for.(UNDERSTOOD) I say, this time around, boycott his dumm ass, skip the excusses and be done with him until he's off the air completely.

I am not an Imus fan and was not happy with his earlier comments about the Rutgers Girls. But, in his defense, he does use that term "well there you go" often, judging from the rest of the article. It could be that was what he was implying. Unfortunately, his past bad acts aren't a good indication that his meaning was honorable. No wonder we are quick to jump at Imus for comments like this - this is all we need to perpetuate the notion that it is a given - Black Man = Criminal. We must change this way of thinking.

Black people have been saying shit about whites for years on radio and television,especially the comedians. I dont hear any whites crying about it.?? Maybe there should be an NAAWP lol Who gives a shit what imus says its no different.

Seriously, I understand that Imus is not very smart. He is having trouble accepting the fact that he cannot speak freely anywhere. Especially on the air. EVERYTHING he says will be scrutinized to death, for the rest of his life. I think it's ridiculous though.
God, please..... can you just help people to try and stop looking for reasons to be hurt or slandered. If this situation was reversed, (meaning Imus was black and Pacman was white) this would be a non-issue. I'm tired of listening to overly sensitive people mouth off about something like this. It's a double standard and it stinks. Get over yourselves!!!
Here.... lets see how many times I get labeled a racist. Try this one on for size. The next thing you know, that wonderful man of the people, Al Sharpton will be inciting riots over the latest comments by Imus. Sharpton is the biggest racist I have ever had the displeasure of reading about. But.... you won't hear anyone criticizing his off color comments and racist views.
If you don't like Imus, DON"T LISTEN!!!!! I don't listen to him. I can't listen to Sharpton either. They both suffer from diarrhea of the mouth.

I don't know when white people will realize that they are the only ones without the freedom of speech. Any other race can say what they want, but if a white person even halfway suggests something that the other races may interpret as racist, all hell breaks loose. Chris Rock and other blacks can joke about honkies and crackers, and it's all fun and games, nobody says a word about it. But you let a white man talk about blacks and Al Sharpton shows up. It's a damn shame. I wish just once, whether there's consequences or not, that one of these white celebrities would take a stand and say "yeah I said it, so screw you."

We as a people cannot overlook the race issues, there will always be people who think we should stop complaining and let it go. The only way to heal is if God comes down and wipe the universe clean and start over with people who are all on the same level. Since we know that is never going to happen, we continue to fight to be recognized for our abilities and not the color of our skin. On the other hand, if we continue to look at the world through BUSH eyes, God might come down and wipe out the world, (IRAQ WAR).

You know, Imus is old enough for Social Security. He should be able to live well on that after he's banned from radio!

So what if he said that he is an idiot and his subject happens to be just another black man with a record big freakin deal.

On the other hand no one seems to cringe or get offended when all the violence, insults, discrimination and vulgarity committed against women in society, on TV, Radio, Media, the Politicians and above all the stupid God and his Religious insitution. Please spare us your victimization as they say there is no smoke without a fire period.

why is it when any other race says mean and hurtfull words to them that no one defends them........

The problem here is that Imus was fired the first time - gave the complianers AKA Victims, validity! Time to tell the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jackson to get a real job and a real life instead of always wanting to hear themselves talk! Not interested, not now, not ever. Sorry the blacks were enslaved and had to come here and be allowed to be where they are today! How unjust that some of our ancestors actually bought their ancestors from their black brothers who rounded them up and sold them to slave masters! Sorry that ever happened.
