I saw you on Scarbourough Country and you are either a hypocrite (most likely) or perhaps just stupid. But if you really think Don Imus with his .3 rating has a bigger platform and more influence on African American values and culture than rap, hip hop BET and MTV, than maybe you should be fired. Of course, it's more likely that you are just piling on to the "controversy flavor of the week" to promote your own pathetic views and career. I'm a Democrat, but to see bleeding hearts like you dismiss the real causes of mysoginy and racism in society demostrates to me that you are just part of the problem. Maybe you should actually listen to John Ridley, the African American commentator, who has more invested in how his culture is portrayed in society than guilt ridden,hypocrites like you.
I feel sorry for your daughter. Keep on encouraging her to listen to rap music. Glad you have protected her from Don Imus.
