Here is my question. In light of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton’s
activities to get Imus fired, where did Imus or for that matter, any other white
person come up with the designation of a woman as a ho and feel it to be acceptable to that word to refer to Black women?
I am not
defending what he said, someone as savvy as Imus should have foreseen the firestorm, but firing Imus is treating the symptom and not the
disease, is it not? Is it acceptable for some to use that sort of language and not for
others?
If so, someone please enlighten me.
