I agree that there are certain sensitivities but don't persecute ppl then turn around and dismiss the same behavior. Again I wasn't personally offended but calling Miley Cyrus a white b**** on the radio was not ok. I just find the double standard offensive. It's not fair that white people are made out to be these terrible people when they make a comment but black people can say whatever they want. Yes there is a history of oppression and I think certain sensitivities are justified but the only thing I can compare this to is like one side has a gun with unlimited bullets while the other has their hands tied behind their back with their mouth gagged. If racist comments are wrong they should be wrong all across the board.

I also don't feel that Jamie Foxx should be fired. Ive always liked Jamie Foxx and I still do. I'm just tired of hypocrisy.

I agree homey. It's a double standard like a muthafucka. The only thing I say we as black people have to validate Jamie's words over Imus' is that Jamie is a comedian and makes those kind of comments all the time. With a person like Jamie Foxx, you don't question whether he's racist or not because of his lifestyle. He's in the movies with white people, he's hanging out with white people, all that s***. With someone like Imus, we don't know if he's really racist or not, but he damn sure looks like it. And like the homey Justice says, America feels it should give black people a pass for s*** like that because they did have us f***** up for years. Even subconciously, white people feel as though it's much less offensive for a black person to say cracker than it is for a white person to say n*****.

But, no doubt, black people can't really hope to get past racism unless we learn what's politically correct/incorrect to say in public.
