What do you think of talk show host............
That makes these kinds of comments?
WASHINGTON -- A popular morning radio host is at the center of a controversy after making some racially insensitive comments about the women's basketball team from Rutgers University, which played in the NCAA championship Tuesday night. On his "Imus In The Morning" show Thursday He was talking to Sid Rosenberg with Sports Talk on the phone about the Women's NCAA Championship game. Imus started out talking about the Rutgers team as, "some rough girls from Rutgers. They got tattoos," and then went on to call them "some nappy-headed hos." He compared them to the Tennessee team, saying "The girls from Tennessee -- they all looked cute." The conversation then went on to compare the game to "the jigaboos versus the wannabes." Media Matters reported that the show's executive producer, Bernard McGuirk, made that comment. According to The New York Times, Imus also said people should relax and "not worry about some idiot saying something meant to be amusing." Free speech is one thing but it seems to me there ought to be some sort of dignity and responsibility on the part of broadcasters when refering to the way others look. http://www.nbc4.com/news/11538367/detail.html
