So Don Imus was fired.  This is a good thing, I am far from disagreeing that he should have been canned.  However, I still find irony in the lack of attention to the TRUE racial barriers which are hindering minority progressions.  It seems to me that blantantly destructive and anti-social behavior glorified in gangster rap music is passed off as the true expression of what being a minority is.  You have to only care about cars, money, and women if you are really black.  But nobody addresses this.  If they do, they are either racists or they don't understand the truth. 

So while Don Imus is a bigoted ass, tell me this:  How is it that calling somebody a nappy headed ho, aside from eliciting an initial cocking of the head and flush of anger, has done anything to prevent racial progress?  Is he telling black children that school is for suckers and that the only way to solve issues is by the gun?  That money is the most important aspect of life, and to get it in any means necessary?  That the size of your rims and the size of your entourage is what defines you as a man?  Or more importantly: As the true definition of Black!?

People like to find sombody who can perpetuate their unwavering assumption that  only when the white man stops using racial epithets, then and only then can they rise above and make something of themselves.  The CEO of AOL-Time Warner is black by the way.  But he is probably a sell out to the white man.  Bill Cosby has apparently sold out.  Nevermind that P. Diddy grew up in the suburbs in an upper middle class family and attended a private school. 

So again, I ask, while Imus is even still a bigoted ass, why are we wasting our time with those who don't hold influence over those who people claim are being barricaded by racial discrimination?  When will people stop trying to defer their attention away from the true detriments and stop the bromides over a god damn sports commentator?
