What is happening in the news is apparently opposite on the scales. However; I believe these two situations are closely inter-related. The use of the word nappy was in application to the young girl Basketball team at Rutgers. These women are of color and the disparaging remarks against them should be considered in context by the one that delivered them. Who is Don Imus, anyway? As long as I can remember he has always been sarcastic and bitter. When I heard this remark coupled with his other absurd musings over the years, I was not surprised. This clown wants to deliver acerbic wit that is just not funny. Biting humor should be left to those who have mastered such without offense, i.e. Don Rickles.
Now for the other N-word-Nifong. I have posted the worthlessness of this arrogant recalcitrant shall we say ex-prosecutor? This also involves a person of color. However; this is the reverse of the nappy incident in regards to application. Nifong’s vitriol was aimed at white college boys instead of black college girls. But; the incidents are similar politically speaking. Nifong wanted to be re-elected and those old paragons of morality and virtue Sharpton and Jackson want a visible venue for their losing idealism. Free Press and lots of it!
Freedom of speech is now contained by the antics of Sharpton & Jackson. The liberals always use this for their own personal big mouth agendas, but let anyone outside of their miniscule circles say something off-color and it hits the fan! Anything but fire in a theatre was once allowed to be said; within reason I might add. But now? Political correctness only can be tolerated. Have we become that sensitive, that crybabyish? Consider the source of people that spew vitriol like the Democratic Party against President Bush and his staff. Anything said about this? Is this taken to a fever pitch and outrage level? No, not at all!
