"this is that ignorant shit you love"
Shock-jock extraordinaire and world-class dipshit Don Imus is once again under scrutiny for some, well, more than slightly bigoted remarks on the air. Read about it here.
What blows my mind is how Imus simply thinks that his "misunderstood" intentions--that he was trying to highlight through sarcasm how black males are "picked on"--somehow vindicate his actions.
If every intelligent (see: not brain-dead) person out there is interpreting his comments as racially insulting, then who cares about the desired effect? The failure of Imus' sarcasm coming across is his own, not the audience's.
And another thing: who the hell hired him again, anyway? The man is a sensationalist. He's consistently offensive, and never in a beneficially provocative way. What a joke.
Turn up the Jay-Z.
