Don Imus will not go away
Perhaps I’m just sheltered - with me, that’s always a possibility - but I had never really heard of Don Imus until he called the Rutgers women’s basketball team “nappy headed ho’s” last week. Frankly, I would like to return to that state of bliss.
Instead, I am stuck hearing about this decidely offensive guy everywhere. He’s on ESPN, he’s on blogs (now including, admittedly, this one) and he’s entered the national consciousness the way only a big idiot with a bigger mouth can. It’s unbelievably frustrating; can’t we all just pretend the dude doesn’t exist again?
Anyway, just to punish you, here’s footage of Imus’ apologetic interview with Al Sharpton today. Enjoy, you poor bastards.
Also, this is as good a time as any to address that other controversy. Seriously, Trey Wingo’s sorry, people.

I’m not sure whose apology seemed more forced: Don Imus’ or Colin Cowherd’s.
Let’s put racism where it should be. Right in front of everyone. It’s here and let’s talk about the whole damn thing. The elephant as well as the serpent has to be dealt with. It goes way beyond what someone says.
