I'm Baaaaack

The wait is over, bitches! I am back! As my previous post stated, I was in a six week management training program for my job and I was literally unable to find five minutes to throw up even a random post. But alas, that matters no more!

I have to take a few minutes to weigh in on this Don Imus issue. In my mind, the evolution of this event demonstrates almost everything that is wrong with today's America. Yes, what he said was bad, and wrong. But it was a joke! Certain people who claim to be out for the interests of minorities took this as an opportunity to further their own personal agendas and to fatten their own wallets - yes, that's you Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson. Where are you on gangsta rap, the source of these types of terms and stereotypes? Where are you on more serious issues like poverty, illegitimate children, teenage pregnancy, poor inner city education? - all issues that more widely and more negatively affect the people you claim to fight for than a silly comment from a shock jock?

But here we are - victims of group think. We let the media run with the story because there was nothing else for them to run with, we let disingenuine "activists" leverage the situation for their own personal gain, and we let those "activists" control corporate money in order to control speech and end a 35-year career in a violent crash. I am not even an Imus fan - never listened to him a day in my life - but even I can admit a lynch mob tragedy when I see one.
