Imus Fired. My Take.

Don Imus is done.
The 67 year old Shock Jock will be shocking no more and it solves nothing.
His comments, as bizarre and racist as they were, are not the problem.
They merely serve to divert attention from the real racial issues facing America and our society and that's a shame.

The girls on that basketball team should have been offended, but in reality weren't hurt or denied any rights or made to feel like second rate citizens.
Just some stupid comments from an irrelevant old man.

I read an article written by a black journalist who basically said that Don Imus is an easy target for people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. As opposed to addressing the very real and sticky issues that blacks face they get to rally their constituents around an out of touch white guy who said some asinine thing. The journalist made the point that they should be talking about a prison culture that glorifies the Gansta's and makes being educated a bad thing.
I concur.
I also think that watching Matt Lauer get all prickly and indigent grilling Don Imus is a convenient way to divert America's attention away from some other sniggley little concersn. Like the BS war in Iraq, the 60 plus percent of the population that's obese and the environment. Those silly old things.
When a white guy makes a stupid remark it gets overplayed and over-discussed for weeks and in the end changes nothing.
Don Imus is done. For now at least.
