Media - Who said what now? I'm offended!

Was Imus wrong to use those words? Yeah.
Is it as bad as the media is making it out? No.

Had any of the Rutgers team EVER listened to Imus? Probably not.
Had any of the Rutgers team ever listened to gangsta rap? Most likely.

Is a dumb, old, white guy with a comedy radio show a real threat because he used a distasteful phrase? Nope.
Are mainstream, black rappers and hip-hop artists who glamorize prisonand drugs, mock getting an education and condone beating and degrading women a threat? Yes.

Will Imus lose his job over the comments? Yeah.
Will "Half-Dollar-Cube-Killa" lose his recording contract for his lyrics? Nope.

Common sense - 0, Victimization - 1.
