Don Imus at it again with racially-tinged comments
Published 6/23/2008 by Evan Brunell at MVN Outsider
You think that he would have learned his lesson. Don Imus, famous for his “nappy-headed hos” comment that led to him being fired from CBS Radio, has seemingly insinuated that Adam “Pacman” Jones’ transgressions are because he is African-American on ABC Radio. Imus: “What color is he?” “He’s African American.” Imus: “Well there you go… now we know.” Some people never learn… ...

Don Imus on Adam Jones: 'What Color Is He?'
Published 6/23/2008 by Michael David Smith at FanHouse
Filed under: Cowboys, NFL Media Watch, Dallas, The WordDon Imus, the radio jock who was fired last year for calling the Rutgers women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos," has once again put his foot in his mouth in comments related to the world of sports. Pro Football Talk passes along the audio: When one of Imus's on-air partners discussed Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam Jones' legal troubles, Imus asked, "What color is he." When told that Jones is African-American, Imus said, "Well, there you go. Now we know." The full transcript is after ...

Imus, still on ‘nappy-headed’ smear campaign, now aims at man
Published 6/23/2008 by B-Roy at The Sports Culture
Don Imus reminds me of the 97-year-old white guy wash-up that still thinks Rosa Parks didn’t call shotgun. Now, Imus, directly associated with his Shot Heard Around The World, is back at being what he is best — general rule of thumb: once a douche, always a douche. ...

Don Imus Is a Racist and an Idiot
Published 6/23/2008 by Brinson at Brahsome - Care To Get Nice?
I say both those things feeling nearly 100% certain that they are accurate. How else could you explain his decision to blame Pacman’s six recent arrests on being an African-American? ShareThis

DON IMUS IS MISSING BRAIN CELLS
Published 6/23/2008 by World of Isaac (noreply@blogger.com) at The World of Isaac
You'd think Imus would wear a muzzle or something. Or maybe just think before he spoke. But nah, not good 'ol Don. He says whatever he wants, whenever he wants.

Crypt Keeper strikes again?

Don Imus looks as if he crawled from a grave to make another controversial remark about race. (I'm sorry, but the man's resemblence is uncanny.). But was he being racist or simply lack depth in his opinion about stereotypes toward African-Americans in regard to resident NFL jailbird Adam Jones? I see his comments as two ways.
