[Vision2020] Double Standard

[J Ford]

Ok, so I am acknowledging ahead of time that I KNOW I AM GOING TO MAKE 
PEOPLE ANGRY, but I really think this is something that needs to be 
explored; the following story makes me angry.  Not because of what the radio 
personality said, but because of the fire that got lited up because of what 
he said.  QUESTION:  Why is it ok for blacks/negros/"African Americans" to 
use the word (yep! gonna say it) "nigger" when talking or singing or acting 
to/about/for/with other blacks/negros/"African Americans" and not ok for the 
rest of the world to?  And why is it ok for them to degrade, harass, and 
otherwise demean their women folk, but if someone else says anything even 
remotely disparaging or something that is taken as such, they are to be 
fired/killed/hurt, etc?  When do you draw the line and where is it drawn up 
that the blacks/negros/"African Americans" can mistreat their people, call 
them names, kill them, etc. and we (as a community of man) do nothing about 
them?  Such as ask for them to be fired from whatever job they are in (be it 
their music, acting, radio, CEO, positions?)  Why is any comment made, one 
of  a "racially charged" genre?

Why is there two rather obvious and distinct rules that govern what the 
blacks/negros/"African Americans" can/are allowed/will do and what the rest 
of us are allowed to do or forced not to do?

Just when did the term nigger become one of endearment for the 
blacks/negros/"African American" community?  I hear them using this word in 
anger, jest, as a greeting - you name it, they say it.  BUT, let a white 
person do so and BAM!!! Literally - BAM!!!

And, finally, since when is it ok or when did it become ok for the 
blacks/negros/"African Americans" to call a white person a nigger and they 
not get bashed for it?




NEW YORK - Even if talk show host Don Imus survives the storm of protest 
swirling around him, his employers are already feeling the effects of his 
racially charged comments last week as advertisers pull out of his 
nationally distributed radio show.

General Motors Corp., a significant advertiser on the show, said on 
Wednesday that it was suspending its advertising but could resume it at a 
later date. The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that American Express 
and GlaxoSmithKline also were pulling their ads.

“This is a very fluid situation, and we’ll just continue to monitor it as it 
goes forward when he returns to the air,” GM spokeswoman Ryndee Carney said, 
adding that GM would continue to support Imus’ charitable efforts for 
children dealing with cancer and autism.

Imus’ show originates on the New York radio station WFAN, owned by CBS 
Corp., and is distributed nationally on radio by Westwood One. It is 
simulcast on the MSNBC cable network, which is owned by General Electric 
Co.’s NBC Universal unit. CBS owns an 18 percent stake in Westwood One and 
also manages the company (MSNBC TV is wholly owned by NBC Universal. 
MSNBC.com is a joint venture between NBC Universal and Microsoft).

Procter & Gamble Co. and the office supply chain Staples Inc. have also said 
they would pull out, and Bigelow Tea said it was considering doing so. How 
many other advertisers follow suit could depend largely on how Imus handles 
the fallout from the controversy.
