Should Imus be fired?
Imus should be fired only if every African-American comedian, "artist", actor or celebrity who uses the word nigger as a part of their act is similarly terminated. What Imus said was inappropriate. However, it is time for the racist sycophants (like Sharpton) to stop the posturing hiding behind what is an unacceptable set of social double standards based on skin color.
Imus' second inappropriate act was to stoop and go on the Al ("I'm tha real ho") Sharpton radio show in an effort to appease his African-American critics. Let's face it, most anyone who listens to Sharpton is not going hear to what Imus says no matter how sincere.
He needs to appropriately apologize and then tell his critics to get over it.
