i-mus wash my mouth out with soap

so i've been trying to figure out what i might say about the idiot who used offensive and derogatory language about the rutger's ladies basketball team.

and i've been having trouble deciding exactly what i should say.

do i think he should have been fired? if i employed him i would have fired him that same day. GONE... DONE... don't let the doorknob hit you... because he was too dumb to keep his big mouth shut when those thoughts came into his head. yes, i have certainly said some dumb things in my life-time... and i support free speech even when i don't like what is being said... but his job is based specifically on what he says and he blew it.

so i've been home with the kids and hubby who are all sick with strep (again!) and all day as i have flipped channels on the tv every white faced pundit has been complaining about gansta rap and why it's ok for them to use offensive language, but not poor ole imus.

sigh

i suppose there is some good answer for that question... i just have a hard time answering it for the media.

then i go and read abb's comments on the whole thing and think... oh thank God someone is making sense.

"I don’t support banning words. I’d like this to be a world where my blog doesn’t average an anonymous n-word comment a day…but I do not support banning words.

Banning people? Hmmm. But that’s for another post.

Now, if I had a dollar for every long skirt wearing, Wednesday and Sunday all day church attending, well-read yet still misunderstood bible carrying sistah who took more time to communicate her dislike of my blog title than she has ever taken to participate in the community she alleges to defend against me I’d own CBS Radio!

Regulating language...no matter who is using it... doesn’t get anyone off the hook for what we do or fail to do in our communities.

My brothers and sisters we need to engage our community with consistency and authenticity, not only when some a**hole on the radio touches a nerve."

she is always worth the read. just be warned she does use strong language to get her point across.

God's peace y'all
