Imus: Racism AND sexism
One of the reasons Don Imus's comments about the Rutgers basketball team was not only that it was a racist comment (all the media get that). What the media hasn't talked about so much is that it was also sexist and misogynist: using the generic term "ho" for all women, but particularly African American women, was as "ist" as the "nappy" comment. So Imus's was a double-whammy of a racist/sexist comment. Why doesn't the media discuss the sexist part more? What do you all think? gail
