Comments on: SHARPTON’S GROUP WEIGHS ACTION ON LATEST IMUS REMARK http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/06/23/sharptons-group-weighs-action-on-latest-imus-remark/ The Best Pro Football Scoop on the Internet Tue, 02 Dec 2008 01:00:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: downsouth49er http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/06/23/sharptons-group-weighs-action-on-latest-imus-remark/#comment-47187 downsouth49er Wed, 25 Jun 2008 07:09:52 +0000 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/06/23/sharptons-group-weighs-action-on-latest-imus-remark/#comment-47187 Okay for those of you shouting about "freedom of speech" lets look at the facts. Research when the constitution was developed. It started with the Bill of Rights that included "freedom of speech" in 1791. That was still slavery time up until around 1863. After this period, when all slaves were considered free, so to speak, what would happen and happened if a black man were to say something like "F U" or " I hate you crackers" to a white man? Not being funny or anything, but he would be beaten, jailed or even hung wouldn't he? He would not even have a fair chance at defending his remarks or anything of that nature. So how is that not "freedom of speech?" What I'm saying is that during the period of time that "freedom of speech" was in effect, it applied to the white race because the things whites said to blacks back then were overlooked, whereas the things blacks said to whites, they were jailed, beaten or hung for. In today's society it is the other way around. Meaning, you have some blacks (mostly comedians) that say things about whites and society views it as funny. Then you have some whites that say things about blacks and society views it as racial. That's where you have the "freedom of speech" supporters come in and claim "people have the right to say what they want under the constitution". But, if this was true all these years, how do you explain Blacks that were jailed, beaten, and murdered for doing the exact same thing that the constitution guaranteed since 1791, even after blacks were awarded freedom? Let’s be honest, besides comedians, how many blacks do you see in the media say something racist about a white person? It really never happens….it’s always someone white that is saying something racist about blacks. All I’m saying is that I love all people, especially people who have an understanding of God and his love for all. At the same time, call a spade a spade. If you find it funny when a black comedian makes a joke about whites, laugh when someone white makes a joke about someone black. If you view or viewed someone white calling a black person the N word back in the day or now as “freedom of speech”, view someone black from back in the day calling a white person a cracker as the same, “FREEDOM OF SPEECH.” And not warrant of jail, a slashing, or murder…God Bless!!!

Would you make a joke at the dinner table about the poor if your affluent family had invited a poor family to dinner? You did not contribute to their plight but it would definitely be a douche thing to do and would probably end the mood there. When I first came to the US I took a job driving Semis. One Cold February evenning am in the Northern Pennsylvania boondocks sick like a dog emerging from a Walmart with some medication. Between me and the truck are two White women unloading groceries from a cart. Between them and the truck is the cart return. one of the ladies proceeds to return the cart walking about 10 feet ahead of me. She wheels around to return to the car spots me freezes DEAD in her tracks for about as long as it takes for me to walk 7 feet and go pass her. Fear...Simply because I am Black.....This is a woman am sure has never suffered from a crime comitted by a Black person, and the area is quite frankly devoid of Blacks. She however saw my Black skin and equated that to criminal danger in the middle of a Walmart lot. Why? Is it all Blacks fault? Or is it also a Culture perpetuated by Whites and the way the marginalise and stereotype the Black Race? Vox….Am sure you are frustrated with that, but it is what it is.

Maybe when we look at others the same way we look at a prospective girlfriend, then this World will change for the better. But that will never change i suppose.

That being said jx, it's easy for you to say that "people" need to be more worried about their education. Why didn't you just say black people while making yet another generalization about us. So now black people aren't as concerned with being productive or their education as much as they are with the white man? People need to think before they speak or else they just end up creating more generalizations and making an ass out of themselves. I would love for some of these people saying that blacks play the victim all of the time to try being black for a while. As much as you try to live your life without seeing color, things happen everyday that make you realize that you are sometimes being treated unfair because of your color. And it just doesn't come from other ethnicities, it comes from other black people as well. Being a minority in this country is not easy at all. People need to take sociology classes and brush up on their history.

Same reason a rapist can't joke about the good looking neighbor. Another reason.......(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Rlqjxst6xU&feature=related). But no one wants to talk about that. Everyone wants to talk about what Mexicans has brought on themselves. What Blacks have brought on themselves. What Africans have brought on themselves......Chinese Indians the whole chabang.......Just not Whites and definitely not White Americans. You want to set up a fund for the advancement of White people? Why not setup a fund for the advancement of Nazis too. Or for the advancement of murderers? Or the advancement of rapist? When someone has done ill will to someone or something at a time when they had the upper hand, they lose the power to mention it in jest.....forever. Truth we're speaking right? Or do you all have a problem with truth after all? So for all you haters who hate everyone else because of what atrocities they have committed, why not take a closer look at the atrocities that have put these same people in the current position that they are fighting everyday to shake.....and who has the hand in all of it!! Freedom of speech?? When America starts respecting the freedom of soveriegn Nations come talk to me about the right of haters to exercise freedom of speech in continuing to marginalise whole races.

Free Speech is a Right we all enjoy. Even "Hate Speech". But "Hate Speech" against racial and gender and ethnic and sexual and religious groups is prohibited by law. You can't use the public-owned air waves for that. Imus is talking out of both sides of his mouth now. He wants to make the comment to be edgy and make a joke. But when pressed for what he was saying, he backs way off and tries to spin it in a way that we all know is untrue. Imus is articulate. He's a professional. He knows how to communicate his point of view clearly. He needs to be held accountable. On Sharpton, I have grown in respect for him. He's a watchdog. Watchdogs and advocacy groups are needed in society. Citizens' Advocacy has been the American Way since the Boston Tea Party. Sharpton doesn't hide. He's a regular on conservative TV like Fox. He's a regular on The O'Reilly Factor. I have much more respect for Sharpton's work today than for Jesse Jackson's work today. Imus can freely speak his mind. And if he's wrong, Sharton can freely call him on it with his employer, with the FCC and with the courts. It's America! And the other important truth is this... It sure would be nice if "Pac Man" and all the other guys would put the squash on all the conduct problems the feed people's negative stereotypes. You know? F2B Hey Mike Florio,

"We're not actually going to re-build the 9th ward," "This apartment isn't actually available" and "I can't approve you for this loan" are examples of real racism and much more worthy of Sharptonesque counter-attacks than the words of a crusty white radio guy who hasn't deciphered the code of 21st century tip-toe speak.

WOW!! Misery loves company. How true is that? When people are upset, they want everyone around them to feel the same, when they are happy they stay away from others and guard whatever makes them happy. That,s why you see angry mobs and never happy ones. To listen to some claim free speech for a man who s using the airwaves to continue stereotyping a Race. And seeing the product of some speech right here. Blacks should work to change the stereotype? Blacks commit the most crime? All those claiming free speech for Americans against each other are againstArabs claiming they do not want Americans on their land and in their country. All those claiming Blacks commit so much crime, are decendants of a people who raped pillaged and stole to claim America. No one mentions that.......God forbid any mention of that.....All should forget about that....but they continue to claim the minority is are the ones destroying the Country. We all look at the Arabs who killed the few thousands in the WTC as enough reason to assail two Countries, but God forbid any mention of the millions killed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki blast.... Many roasted Rev Wright for his words at a Church denouncing the failed Leadership that has caused the US to be viewed as tyrants by the rest of the World.....But we defend Imus's freedom of Speech on the Public airwaves....... What a thing..... Wow….Read the previous comments and now these on this subject.

Free Speech is free speech. If you don't like what Imus has to say, don't listen. Yes his comments may have been over the line, but he can say it if he wants to. As for your commentary on it, stick with football. Stay out of politics and news like this. I know Pacman... I mean Adam Jones is a football player, but the news has nothing to do with him playing football. As for Al Sharpton, no one cares what that racist has to say. Yes I called Al Sharpton a racist. Blaming the white man for everything makes him a racist. But after all, I guess I'm just a bitter typical white person clinging to God and my guns to think any different.
