Put Apology Back In Your Pocket

Why do we keep falling for the same tired-axx cons.
Two things that sell in this country is sex and black
blasting. This isn't something that the white man
invented either. As long as rappers where making
money calling black sisters B#$%&*s and ho's we
made a little noise about it but in the long run it be-
came the norm. Rap songs continued to sell and a
great many of them were bought by black women.
So now a white radio talk show host who is known for
blasting women and blacks says something derogatory
about the Rutger's womens basketball team and black
folks bite into it, locking on like a pit bull. Calls short
of public lynching are now heard comming from prominent
African-American activist which in turn is picked up
by the media and a frenzy starts. Then the talk show
host makes a watered down apology that usually
satisfies his bosses because by then there's been a
spike in the overnight ratings. And quess what, the
longer we bicker about the situation the higher the
ratings go for the talk show and larger ratings mean
larger ad dollars. Anyway check out the column below
and feel free to holler at me about how you feel about this
latest media frenzy.


Mo'Kelly doesn't want an apology from Don Imus. Mo'Kelly would want an apology from Don Imus about as much as he wants a Senate discussion on reparations or an official slavery "apology" from the United States government. Save it. Don't insult Mo'Kelly's intelligence or waste his time. Two week simulcast suspension? Whatever. It's all the same. Although the outrage and outcry for the ouster of Don Imus from the terrestrial radio airwaves has been deafening; Imus should keep his apology…AND his show for that matter. In fact, NBC could've just kept their two-week simulcast suspension too.

Hear Mo'Kelly out… This is all too familiar to "other" incidents in recent memory. If you know the words to this song, feel free to sing along. Public figure makes horrible remark, public becomes angry and demands his/her job in retribution. Public figure apologizes and goes "slumming" on a Black press tour. Public moves on. Public figure keeps job. With the exception of Rush Limbaugh's removal from the ESPN football crew in the wake of his disparaging remarks regarding Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb…exactly when does anyone lose his/her job for disrespecting my people?

Probably not since former sports analyst Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder, has a public media figure gone completely up in flames in a professional sense after grossly demeaning African-Americans. It just doesn't happen.
