Yes, it’s true that Don Imus has appologized for the comments he has made. Don’s morning broadcast “Imus in the morning” will be dead air for two weeks while MSNBC decides what they are going to do. This is the result when a cranky radio talk host calls the Rutger Basketball Team “Nappy Headed Ho’s. So instead of having dead air during the “Imus in the morning” show. These selections of songs should be played in replacement to remind Don Imus of his Rugter commentary.
Don Imus the first selection that you will be listening to and learning from is We Run This by Missy Elliot.
The first thing Don Imus needs to learn is that he is just a messenger of the news, events, and sports of the world. My paycheck is payed by the people that read my blogs and articles. Don Imus your paycheck is payed by all the people your commentary is about.
If MSNBC actually does put “Imus in the morning” back on the air, Mr Imus will need to remember a few things. Don Imus needs to remember that there is life and death in the tongue and people are listening. Nasty comments about other people will only come back and ruin your radio career.
The second selection that Don Imus will be listening and learning from is I am not my hair by India Arie.
“I am not my hair, I am not this skin, I am not your expectations, I am not my hair, I am not this skin
I am the soul that lives within.” are the lyrics of pride. African American women are finding freedom with thier natural hair color and hair styles. So this song is just a reminder of how pointless the comment is.
Between the Trees reminds us “That sticks and stones may break my bones, but your words should be killed” Has Don Imus not heard of a Thesaurus. There could have been many different words used to say “Nappy Headed Ho’s”
Yes, I even hate writing that. Don Imus could have used ballsy, blunt, brusque, coarse, crass, crude, hard, harsh, raw or rowdy.
What do looks have to do with Women’s Basketball anyways? When a person watches Men’s Basketbal they are focused on thier passing, blocking, and shots. For that sheer idea Don Imus will have to listen to Christian Aguilera’s song Beautiful. Everyone is beautiful in thier own way and when watching Women’s Basketball the focus should be on thier pasing, blocking and scores.
The final selection that Don Imus will be listening and learning from is Words From Missing Persons. Dale Bozzio sings “Do you hear me, Do you care.” The one lesson from this song is that if you keep on making mistakes like this, no one will listen anymore.
