With all the hullabaloo that the Imus comment is getting this week, It got me wondering about a few things in society that i believe are major contributing factors to why we are going to hell for this one.
For those who dont know, Don Imus, a popular talk radio personality, was shit canned from CBS on 4/12/07 for calling the Rutgers womens basketball team a bunch of “nappy headed hos”.
He was fired for speaking his mind and to Rev. Al Sharpton this was a racially derogatory comment requiring severe action. More than a few Hip Hop albums call women “ho’s”, but when a white man says it, its a racial slur? If the team were predominately white it would be been forgotten in 10 minutes, but since its mostly made up of black players it makes it racially negative in nature? A crock-of-shit double standard if there ever was one.
One thing I found rather disturbing was that some people are saying that this will damage “race relations”. What the fuck is that? Are we negotiating with Martians or something? Why wasn’t I informed? I was under the, I guess it was mistaken, impression that we humans were all part of the same race. We just come in different styles and colors; much like cars do.
So now a days, if someone of a particular skin color says something that offends a few folks this will… what? Lead to total social anarchy? If thats the case, then excuse me while I get my nail studded baseball bat from the storage closet.
I think Oprah Winfrey is a didactic, shit-stirring, opportunistic yammering cow who uses crying pregnant teens to push up her ratings, but that doesn’t mean I dislike every black person in the country. I just dislike her; because shes Oprah; and she pisses me the fuck off.
To restate it, we are going to hell. Not just some of us. All of us. Yes, even the ones who go to church and pray and whatnot. You, too, are going to hell.
We are going because God hates dumbasses. American society has become so overly-cautious when it comes to talking or saying anything regarding race, gender, sexual preference, religion, and so on that a lot of people would rather not associate with people of a different color; all because they don’t want to be slapped with a lawsuit for saying something that even remotely approaches a hundred mile radius of possibly racial comment.
And that is just stupid and sad. How are we supposed to get along when everyone is walking on eggshells with their hands clasped over their mouths?
If God were even a hair less forgiving and patient then he is, He would wipe the whole planet clean. Just undo every fucking thing in existence and go from there. (BTW, O’ great one, thanks for not clearing us off like last nights table scraps just yet).
You couldn’t really blame Him though, given all the crap thats floating around society at large? We have so many rules regarding speech that we have no room for talking. And if no one talks, it’s going to get very boring.
I’m not suggesting a law-less society (no matter how fun it would be) but easing back on a few things would make a great deal of progress on the whole “lets get along” mentality the huggy-feely types are pushing on us.
Before you go back to pretending to work, let me summarize this in a simple list:
- American society is too cautious about whats said to whom that original thought and freedom is almost lost
- Racism, true racism, is from ignorance.
- God hates dumb-ass’s. Period.
- Ty looks ridiculous in 12XL Fubu shirts
- If you think you’re racist, you probably aren’t.
OK. You can all flame my comments now. And if anyone thinks I’m a racist, please let me know 
-Cheers
