What Color Are You?

Here’s the height of the double standard when Imus is under fire for actually having the race discussion Obama was talking about. He actually asked what color is he? (sarcasm)

In our churches, we have been singing “red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight”, and then we find out people like Wright and Pfleger are preaching that white people are the sole cause of any and all things that have gone wrong in the world. Come on. Have we lost our minds?

Please listen and watch this video for a little perspective on the question of race.

Has anybody looked into the Supreme Court decision involving “public figures” lately. Imus has the Supreme Court on his side.

Al Sharpton is the racist one and making money at it! For some reason he is out to try and break Imus. Maybe Imus found out what Al Sharpton really is and Sharpton worried about it getting out to the people! :)

Hey, I like Imus and I buy his explanation today, that he meant it in a sarcastic way in suppoprt of Pacman Jones. But be honest: he didn’t get into trouble for merely asking what color Jones was. He got into trouble because, when he heard that Jones was black, he said “That explains it”

Everybody thought that “it” was an inference that it makies sense that Jones had been arrested a gazillion times, because he was black. Imus now says he was trying to criticize a system where black youths are unfairly arrested time after time, that Joneswas being unfairly persecuted. Given Imus’ stance on some law enforcement activities, I believe his explanation… not that I particularly agree with either over-generalization.

And please, keep harping on racial differences, day after day. It helps to unify us all.
