Beacuse they're not on a public TV show produced by a major network! They are being signed by record companies that full well know exactly what type of songs they are writing and performing.

Re: Imus dropped!
As a society though, its ok for rappers to say the same exact stuff, if not worse. Society doesnt go crazy. Al Sharpton doesnt get on them does he??? They are still saying it and its perfectly ok?????????

obviously - there are people out there that feel that way - they are only concerned about the almighty dollar - and if that's what's selling, that's what they're peddling!

Re: Imus dropped!
I don't like Imus but I don't agree with NBC at all on this one.
There are so many people on TV or radio that say crazy offensive things...
I think Imus is taking the fall for all of them

Not quite - more like, as long as your sponsors are happy, you can say whatever you want.

Re: Imus dropped!
So you guys are mad that Imus was dropped. I think I am ****** that as a college educated mother of three smart beautiful children - I had to explain to my children all week why it is so wrong to call someone a NAPPY-HEADED HO! Believe me the Ho part is not as bad as the nappy-headed part. As an african- american, words like nappy-headed are derogatory as it is insulting to my being black. My dark skin, my full lips, my big hips and my thick hair. We are sick and tired of being looked at as being less than, because of our black features. And ladies let anyone call your college-educated athletic daughter a HO and see how angry you get!

Re: Imus dropped!
what rappers do and what Imus did are 2 different things. rappers are not saying things in a derogatory manner or being racist. they dont call out specific groups and publicly humiliate them.
i believe a while back Opie and Anthony got the boot because a listener was dumb enough to have s ex on a train cause they said to. THAT was a dumb firing. but making racial comments and embarassing a group of women who did nothing to him personally is just wrong to me.
being a person of ethnicity, the topic of racism is always touchy to me. flame away if you want, but i was offended FOR the girls of Rutgers by what Imus said.
