Imus Issue

Ok I was debating on whether to spaek my pice on this but I can't hold my tongue any longer. Personally I was not offended and why????? Because its something that I hear on a day to day basis on TV, radio and just in the street. Black women have been called bitches and ho's by other black men and women alsmost as long as the N-word has been around. And there is no distinction on the use of the word in our community. You can be a lawyer, doctor, CEO, stripper, or porn star and you will still get called a ho. Its is the new adjective. So forgive me but Don Imus was trying to be 'cool' and 'hip' on his show and I can assure you he didn't get that word from his caucasion background. I don't think we can ask for his head on a platter until we ourselves stop calling each other derogatory words as nicknames and slang on a daily basis. Thoughts on the issues?????? I ill say that it is sad that the focus has been completely lost on the game and the team that actually won the champioonship.
