Are you kidding? It's total overkill! Imus gets suspended for making offensive comments about black people, but Ann Coulter can make offensive comments about gay people and not suffer any consequences? Or what about the issue of the Celtics announcers making derogatory comments about a female referee? Did they get suspended? Nope. Should Imus be suspended? Nope. He's an idiot, but he's an equal opportunity one. Don't like him? Don't listen to him! Same thing with Howard Stern. I know I don't listen to either.

there is no such thing as freedom of speech anymore. it wasnt nice what he said but he has a right to say what he wants that was the constitution says.

What Imus said would have gotten other talk show host fired. Suppend for 2 weeks is like a vacation to him this guy makes 10 million a year. This guy is not funny! But what he said also gets me would there be a big hub bub about this if it were a black talk show host said it? what about the Hip Hop artist who say racial coments in their songs. Shall we say the pot caling the kettle black? As for Howard Stern all he talks about is sex whihc will run his course soon, and being on Sirrus radio allot of people are turning him off and finding out there are other radio chanels than him on Sirrus, like comerical free music stations. But when we went on Al Sharpton's radio show Al Sharpton proved to be a big moron when his show had a commerical he left the studio it showed no class for him either. Al Sharpton is a racist to white people. Also don't forget folks what Jessie jackson said about teh jewish people calling them Hymies. So the racial slurs can go both ways.

I think the dismissal of Mr. Imus is wrong and unfair. I do admit that his comment was derogatory and aiming. However, the question we need to ask ourselves is this; is this the first time he does that? The answer to this would determine whether to dismiss him or not. I am black myself and I don’t think that African American community should take this a war in between Imus and the community because that team is not composed of black girls only. Do we correct mistakes by getting rid of people or by teaching them to improve? We all are activists of the immune communities, therefore, if we take it hard on Imus, let us be the same to the rest of the world and that includes Hip hop artists.
