Well, there you have it - CBS is "revulsed" by Imus' words and have given him the axe. Of course, it took them almost 9 days to be "revulsed." And their "revulsion" coincided with sponsors pulling the plug.
As I feared earlier, this is too much, this is an overreach and now you can feel it swinging back in the other direction. Instead of using this as an opportunity, we have screamed and stomped our feet with such fervor that such a chance for possible change is dead and buried and, like an eyewitness shot dead before testifying, of no use.
Is this right? Is this the direction to take? Or, instead of bringing us together and creating meaningful dialogue is this going to be a flashpoint for white people to look at the next black person they see with resentment, shaking their heads and causing even more distance?
Great article by Jason Whitlock here.
