If I were black, I'd cringe at these people making themselves out to be my spokesmen.<BR/><BR/>I feel the same way when I hear the women on The View pretend to speak for women. They give girls a bad name.<BR/><BR/>In this era of individualized voices, does any minority need a "voice" anymore?Melissa Clouthierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15864991953502438461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19646581.post-50778360284510642302007-04-13T10:24:00.000-06:002007-04-13T10:24:00.000-06:00So I listened.

I say this, not as an Imus fan (I never listened), but as a fan of free speech and critical thinking.<BR/><BR/>The reality is this, the only reason Imus deserved to be fired is because advertisers pulled their ads. Funny thing is, CBS is still going to lose that money, and that makes me happy. Happy that the spineless company that is CBS Radio is once again taking it in the pocketbook. They replaced Howard with David Lee Roth... failure. They have now replaced Roth with Opie and Anthony, remember these guys? If not, check out this link http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/08/21/entertainment/main519365.shtml<BR/>Fired and yet now they are back on CBS radio, good news though, their most foul radio is saved for XM listeners. <BR/><BR/>Imus' replacement will most certainly not bring in $15M per year in ad revenue unless they bring in Rush Limbaugh.<BR/><BR/>Funny thing is, Imus probably will have work by the end of this month on XM, unless he is willing to take a job from Howard, his longtime arch-enemy, in which case he would end up on Sirius.<BR/><BR/>Now let's all sit back and wait for Rev. Sharpton to clean up the African-American dominated Hip Hop community where sexism, misogyny, racism, illegal activity, degradation and drug use are celebrated...Chalmershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06355578099725547881noreply@blogger.com
