Imus

Hube is covering the media reaction to the recent Imus Nappy-gate scandal. Surprisingly, the News Journal's Rhonda Graham has a great opinion piece on the subject. I'm not a big fan of Rhonda's but she makes the very valid point. If black people don't want white people using that sort of language, then they probably shouldn't use it themselves.

What amazes me about this whole thing is that Imus is now being portrayed as some sort of conservative. Imus is shock-talk jock. Like most shock-talkers he votes Democrat. He supported Kerry in 2004 and Bill Clinton used to call his show regularly. He's probably in the more moderate wing of the party, but he's no conservative. People are only calling him conservative so they can tar Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity with the same brush they're using on Imus.
