Race Hustling: When Will We Recognize The Manipulation?

I don't get enough time top listen to Rush these days. Just some driving time, usually to work. The other day he spent some time discussing the Rutgers Women's Basketball Teams' insult. He received a call from an African-American woman from Cleveland, I don't have a transcript and I can't remember her name. But she impressed me very much. Very peacefully, yet also assertively, she spoke to how her joy is hers to possess. She eloquently told of raising her children, (whom she would not have allowed to attend that press conference - though I don't know how she would have prevented it!) to understand that they are in control of their own destiny. The line I remember, however imperfectly, was "Don Imus does NOT carry my joy in his pocket, and it is not for him to steal." This was in response to the news conference the team gave in which it was stated that the team's incredible season, struggling against very far-fetched odds - had all come down to "nappy-headed ho's" rather than the celebration of their hard earned and victorious season close. The theme of the conference was, whatever the target of any speaker...Imus, network greed, racism...whatever the target, "it has stolen our joy."
Don Imus gained his reputation by insulting, mocking, and berating targets that "polite" America looks up to. When the Rutger's team beat their vaunted opposition, (also a majority black team) he called them "nappy-headed ho's" because he wanted the other team to win. This is to Imus, what is called his "shtick" - that is, his signature verbal riff - for which his audience seeks him out on their radio dial in the first place. It's why they listen to him. Immaturity has no racial boundaries, and no American, iconic or unfortunate has ever been safe from his belittling attentions. If I knew about him, surely most of America did.
Indianapolis isn't much better. The Bob and Tom Show " started here. If they are syndicated to a station near you, on behalf of central Indiana, I apologize.
We don't have an Imus franchise station, but he has been simulcast for years on MSNBC. Whenever I've been unlucky enough to catch some of his program, he sounded much like any other liberal moron and I kept looking for a more suitable program.
No one defends what Mr Imus said as good or honest or right or true. That's not the point I wish to comment on.
If MSNBC wants to drop his simulcast , that's a business decision for them to make. Same for CBS, who have suspended his show for a couple of weeks, or for good. That's not the point, either.
The point I wish to make is that these were comments made by a man who has found a niche in the media and gets paid to make outrageous statements. As out of line as his comments were, he has apologized profusely. After all, he, and far too many "Euro-Americans" get their cultural education from the drug-sex-violence culture of the rap underground, which has gained acceptance from his audience anyway.
MSNBC and CBS can hire and fire Imus a thousand times and it won't change anything.
The culture that needs changing is the one that gave us words like "nappy-headed" and "ho" and uses with impunity the "n" and "b" word from which people like Don Imus receive their permission to use it in the first place. THAT culture is a sub-culture of the African-American community that too many are still trying to cover up with a "boys will be boys" attitude.
The rest of America has made quite impressive progress in race relations. White racists are no longer immune to the castigation of their peers by race. They still exist, but they speak in whispers, only to select confidantes. They are weak and still losing strength. I firmly believe that Imus had no idea that anyone would actually take his material seriously. Why should they? No one has for thirty years, why start now? Lady Espresso and I have been surprised, not by support for the Rutgers team and their predicament, but by the support we've seen on Shoutlife for people like "Rev" Al Sharpton and "Rev" Jesse Jackson on this issue. It is long past time that Black America see the problem that really exists in their own back yard and stand up to their own promoters of immaturity and race hustling. It is not news that sells the advertising that the various media crave, it is controversy.Where is our Christian moral outrage over "Piss Crist" or the sculpture of Jesus in chocolate, with his genitals exposed. Why are we SO incensed by a shock jock's shock? and not by the cowardly self-exaltation of antagonist atheists?
