Imusgate Part Deux?+Ruben Studdard's Getting Married?+On The Set Of J-Hud's New Video

Here we go again.  Some folks are up in arms about Don Imus' latest "color" remarks about NFL baller Pacman Jones on his radio show yesterday.  According to the Daily News: Monday, after Imus' sportscaster Warner Wolf (who is African American) noted how many times football player Adam (Pacman) Jones had been arrested, Imus asked: "What color is he?" "African-American," said Wolf. "Well, there you go," said Imus. "Now we know." Color?  What is this--a review of a box of Crayola Crayons?  Stop it Imus.  But he's now saying he was just being sarcastic and was saying "Now we know" because now we know why Pacman Jones is getting picked on.  Hmm...I'll hold off on the march on Don Imus for now.  But clearly no one--including the station he works for or their advertisers who allowed him to come back--would care even if h meant otherwise.  But y'all already know Rev. Al "spoke out" against this ish though.  Sigh.  The whole story is here.  Speak on it....

Somebody's locked down the velvet teddy bear.  29 year old Ruben Studdard has reportedly filed for a marriage license in his hometown of Birmingham, Alabama with his fiance 30 year old Surata Zuri McCants.   Anybody else not know he was engaged?  Anyone?  Anyways, they walked in, filled out their paperwork, and walked away looking extra happy.  Marriage licenses are valid for 30 days in Alabama.  Looks like a wedding is about to take place soon.  Congrats to the couple. Check out Jennifer Hudson on the set of her new music video for "Spotlight": And she's bringing the eye candy for the ladies.

People honestly are who they are and if you're a racist son bitch then be just that. I don't understand how they let this fool broadcast publicly nationwide.

Its just that the media decided to pay attention when he made the comments about the basketball team. Then he "apolo-lied" to make everybody shut up, and he laughed his racist ass all the way to the bank when he got another contract with another station. He doesnt care.

Honestly, I'm not the least

Honestly, I'm not the least bit upset about the Imus 'scadal'. I'd rather a person be blatantly racist, at least then I know where you stand. Secondly, Don Imus disrespecting the Rutgers team who are positive role models and him talking about a dumb a$$ football player are two different things. I'm tired of male athletes doing dumb sh!t. LOl Dang have some accountability for your actions...

Why are we even giving this

Why are we even giving this fool Imus any attention? He is a racist!!!!!! We are entertaining the ignorance. His points and views aren't even valid in my opinion as an African American.

Don Imus' comment wasn't

Don Imus' comment wasn't offensive. When I heard it, I got that he was saying that Pacman Jones was going to say that he was being picked on only because he was black and not because he makes the orst decisions regularly. I thought he was being sarcastic. I think black people (and I am black) are too damn sensitive. We let our comedians and rappers get away with calling us everything but a child of GOD but as soon as someone else says anything, WE MARCH. CHILL THE HELL OUT! Pacman Jones is a trainwreck and he deserves to be scrutinized. Hell, I wasn't even offended by the "nappy headed hoes" comment because I heard the whole thing (and I saw the girls on the team) and it was all just jokes. Most girls who are any good at playing basketball do look rough, if not BUTCH. The cute ones are sorry so calm down! Al Sharpton must have been bored yesterday. Ruben did good.

I dont think Imus was trying

I dont think Imus was trying to stir up any racial issues with that comment, he was simply voicing a common sentiment about what colour of people the police routinely harrass - "Why was so-and-so pulled over by the cops? Oh, he's African American? Well there you go, now we know". The guy's proved to be an unthinking ass in times past but I agree with who ever said we need to pick our battles so we dont get worked up over irrelevant ish... ================================================== Ruben Studdard is 29??? "LAWDAMERCY" indeed, you could have fooled me, thot he was older....

If Imus can't speak without being "misunderstood" then maybe he should learn to STFU already! Congrats to Ruben and his lady! Live to love Ruben - don't live to eat! I really like Jennifer Hudson's new single! Her makeup looks fab in the video :)

It never ceases to amaze me

It never ceases to amaze me that we as black people are still surprised that there are many people out there who hate us based solely on the colour of our skin. Let's face facts people. There are those who hate us because we're black. That does not mean we have to give credence to their foolishness, or allow it to affect our equilibrium. If you know you're a decent, hard-working black man or woman who takes care of your family, then you're already waaaay ahead of the likes of Don Imus

I think where ppl see a

I think where ppl see a problem is not just the totality of what he said, but it was poor choice of words when he said "what color is he?" But like some1 said, if he cant speak w/out somebody misunderstanding him all the time, to the point where he feels he needs to explain himself, then maybe he needs to STFU.

[quote comment="126465"] That whole speech he gave about the true meaning of his words is a bunch of Bs -he was twisting his words to sound like he was not making a racial comment. He got caught, he is definitely a racist; he probably speaks derogoratory remarks about minorities all the time, and he forgot he was live on air...again.[/quote] I'm not going by his explanation but by his original words. He was saying that black are targeted by the police because they are black. Then he was trying to show why Pacman was arrested like 6 times because he is black. So fine Imus was being a racist person, but this times towards white cops.

I'm not an Imus fan, and I

I'm not an Imus fan, and I think he should not have been let back on the air. Howveer I have to say his comments this time are taken out of context. Based on the transcript he said that cops arrest African Americans for no reason and he asked Pacman's race in support of that fact. He even went as far as saying black get arrested more for petty stuff that everyone does. Again not an Imus fan, but calling racism on stuff that isn't hurts the cause.

Don Imus old nappy headed hoe

Don Imus old nappy headed hoe lookin' boy..... that part stays stuck in my head....anyways...Oh Imus. Whatever. People are gonna say what they want regardless. Ol Imus is tryna pretend he is not a racist *hint to Imus...we know you are racist the act is not working* Congrats to Big Rub I can't wait to see Jen's new video. I love that song "Spotlight" it is so refreshing to hear someone who can really sing....

Don Imus' comments were not

Don Imus' comments were not offensive - it's just that given the past incident, people are a little sensitive when he even mentions black people. But his point was that it is beacuse Pac Man Jones is black that he may be unfairly targeted by the police. Come on - that's an arguement we make everyday...So why is Don Imus wrong? If Miss Jones would have made that same comparison - using his same exact words no one would think nothing of it.

Hi, I enjoy your site. I

Hi, I enjoy your site. I wanted to share a correction about this post. Warner "Let's go to the Videotape" Wolf is NOT african american. I grew up in NY and watched him on local news for many years. He is a white sportscaster. (You can google him for confirmation). Imus is a wealthy ignorant man who lacks respect for others. Unfortunately high ratings is more important in America than respect for all of mankind. He will still be on the air because he is a big payday for the corporation.

Get it then J-Hud!! I can't wait for the album! Congrats to Big Ruben, hopefully he will be able to get his career kicked off again. I could careless about Imus. Seems like these days it's open season on black people. And the passive agressive racism is bubbleing to the top for many people. Change is coming and they hate it. i think peoplepf color should just keep it moving and let those who make fools of themselves do just that.

so are we ( blacks i am one

so are we ( blacks i am one by the way) gonna continue to allow the devil to deceive and distract us this way... we always want to talk about the little flies but not the big fat pink elephant in the room. I don't agree nor accept anything that imus says but not because he's an old white man...but because it's not right whether it comes from him or someone black... we've got to stop sayin it's acceptable or funny if this had been said by someone black but let's make sure to punish someone white... let's be real clear things of Satan are not black nor white... funny how if we were to poll who's a christian on this site everyone would swear i love jesus... but jesus himself said with your mouth you love me but your heart is far from me... fact of the matter did we forget that the brother did do something wrong... a step further... who's makin money off the n- word... we are! let's be real yall for a change... let's get off the wheel playing the blame game... and let's play the acceptance game...that's what's real... that's what's right. and for any profane, unnecessarily rude responses to this truth... let me say i know who i am... touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm 1 Chronicles 16:22 ...doth say the Lord

Look I am really getting

Look I am really getting tired of race being of issue all the time. This is something I thought suppose to had left in the 60's but it is 2008 and we are still here. We are all human and should be treated as such. Racism is still apparent in all walks of my life and I am getting tired of it. On the news, at work, in school, even at the grocery store we are constantly made out to be in the lower class.
