The WNBA has nothing to do with it. NCAA has nothing to do with it. Being college-educated has nothing to do with it. Hippies are often 'college educated', but still get called: stupid, loser, idiot, and other things; to some, these labels are applicable, and to others, they are not.
The comment was funny. Maybe not to many...but it was surely funny. Hell, the Aristocrats joke isn't "funny" to lots of people, but for others, it's funny as shit. I don't listen to Imus or know his humor, and the comment is still funny to me.
NOW, if he would have said nappy-headed WHORES...and not HOS...it'd be a lot different. That he would go out of his way to say HOS instead shows that there was actual (some might argue, comedic) thought present, and not just an intent to slander. It's the same way its easier to excuse NIGGA but not NIGGER when someone claims to be making a joke or trying to be funny.
As for the future of women, or we Black people, or the future leaders of the country, etc.....inconsequential. Go worry about something that matters. In fact, do this: do a Siccness search on your name, and see if, in your last 10-20 posts, you've called someone an insulting name based on their sex, or race, or intellectual abilities, etc.
If you have...please, do shut the fuck up and don't complain about Imus, because you are a hypocrite. If not...congratulations. You're the 1% of Siccness that has a leg to stand on. The thing is, if you're in that 1%......you're probably not one of the ones complaining.
In an ideal world, that would tell you something.
