This is Wrong

I don’t know why someone decided to support by Don Imus by making a teddy bear that says “Nappy Headed Ho.” It is 17.99 and advertised as…

“Our plush bear is a cutie in his own message-bearing t-shirt and festive red ribbon. He’s a great gift for Valentine’s Day, baby showers, birthdays, get well-wishes, a pair of wedding bears, or any reason you dream up. Put a smile on someone’s face. Just grin and bear it!”

Awesome support someone who essentially is a racist a-hole.

I understand free speech. I don’t understand ignorant comments that just are generally hateful. It is 2007 and that means you are supposed to be senstive to races, sexual orientations, and general cultural differences. You are allowed to make fun of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and people that put themselves in the public eye. Young women who work their butts off playing college ball aren’t allowed to be made fun of.

Should Don Imus have been fired. Yes. Should people defend his comments? No. Are we allowed to make fun of celebrities? Yes. We can say their pants make them look fat or that they seem drunk on American Idol. That is funny. Making racially motivated comments because you find it funny is socially irresponsible.

On that note. Lindsay Lohan’s face looks fat. Blond headed whore. See…doesn’t that sound better.

  • Everyone screams about anything that has to do with race or sexual orientation, but it seems like an awful lot of people have absolutely NO problem at all making fun of the mentally handicapped. They can’t help their situation anymore than someone can control the color of their skin or who they might be attracted to, yet somehow they are a fair target. I find this to be far more repulsive and hurtful. All this is, is a bunch of hypocrites making a bunch of noise.
