I would think that, but I dunno. When I think back to when I heard public black comments like IMUS', I can't think of a time when the black offender wasn't taken to task. But I've heard plenty of remarks against blacks, immigrants, gays etc. that go on unchallenged completely.

In the case of entertainment, I would say that black offensive comments and white offensive comments towards blacks are pretty even. And no one says anything. I mean SNL has done everything short of using the "N" word, and that Wayans Show ("Living Color"?) did the same.

I was challenged on all of this not long ago when a black friend of a friend asked me to actually name the rap records with the disparaging comments towards whites.

In the end I don't think there has been a black radio personality with millions of viewers and with politicians voicing their views and giving the host of the show credibility who did what Imus did. Those were young ladies. And we're not even getting into the implied gay-bashing of it all. I'd take MYSELF off the radio out of shame.
