Don Imus’ New Sidekicks
Posted by Bossip Staff
Don Imus went back on the radio today and has two new nappy-headed sidekicks. Comedians Tony Powell and Karith Foster joined him and will be discussing race relations among other topics on the show. Imus also made a statement for the ladies of the Rutgers Basketball team:
“I will never say anything in my lifetime that will make any of these young women at Rutgers regret or feel foolish that they accepted my apology and forgave me. And no one else will say anything on my program that will make anyone think I did not deserve a second chance.”
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Don. We bet he would say pretty much anything to get his ass back on the air.

Chamillionaire will appear on Larry King Live this evening on the show that will discuss Don Imus’ return to radio and whether or not he deserved the second chance he is getting.

^^^^ Smh.
Shit is bullshit.
http://www.theblackactor.com
soooo…we’re all just supposed to accept him now that he has two black sidekicks????
what tha hell??
this man is a class act!!
Well, if we’re all about second chances, can the exes at Grey’s Anatomy puhleeeeeze bring Isaiah Washington back. It’s not the same w/out Dr. Burke!!
Who in their right mind believe anything that comes out of his mouth. That hair he got on his head looks mighty na_ pp_y to me! lol
I wonder…what could they possibly talk about????
SMH. so quick to put a racist clown back on the radio, but a black man goes straight to jail set up by racist cops, judges, and prosecutors? Fuck Don Imus with a sick dick!
racism is written all over that son of a bitch`s face
why a comeback?
fuck imus
Sungoddess,
“…fuck Don Imus with a sick dick”
ew?
shame on those black people accepting to work with him but then again why am i not surprised? there must also be some “slave“ willing to please his master
that dude is no more racist than those clowns at Faux news… I’m riding with Damon Wayans on this one.
There is always a black person out there willing to be bought
Ps,
why you guys all upset?? No such thing as a second chance anymore?
All Don Imus did was repeat the hatred balck men have for dark skinned black women. Just like the Spike Lee movie he referred to. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton hate the dark skinned rutgeers team and probably called them worse behind closed doors. Don Imus was scapegoated for black racism and ignorance.
shawn & weezy,
I agree with you both. After all that Imus said, what respectable black person would want to work with him? I wouldn’t work with him is someone offered me 20 billion dollars to do so b/c, imo, working with him would make it seem as if black people are okay with what he said.
notice he didnt say that he didnt mean it, and that he was sorry, all he said was that he would not say anything like that (on his show) anymore…… so it aint no tellin how hhe relly feels, or what he is sayin about black people at home! he is basically stating that he is still a racist,ignorant ass, only this time around he is smart enough to not say the sh*t on his damn show! pathetic!
@mydixiewrecked
“that dude is no more racist than those clowns at Faux news… I’m riding with Damon Wayans on this one.’
I’m with ya.^^^^^
@JillyBean819
I don’t know…20 billion dollars and I would be right up there with his ass…hell 1 million will do lol.
lol, yall ignant
Was it bad what he said? Yes. However, part of me wanted to tell Vivian Stringer to shut the hell up and stop playing the “woe is me card.” I kept seeing her on television and she was making all black women sound like victims, and I’m no victim.
Lovely and Amazing

Exactly, as if he does not have rights. He can say whatever he wants to say. Doesn’t mean it’s right or that he should be some people in here want to take away his constitutional rights. Hell how do you know that anybody isn’t dogging black folks behind closed doors? You don’t and never will so what difference does it make. Let him be full of hatred if he wants to.
so he managed to get two Tom’s to make him acceptable in Black America’s eyes???? I don’t think so
WHAT RACISTS SAY BEHIND CLOSED DOORS ARE ONE THING…BUT BOSSIP IS SAYING IT RIGHT IN YOUR FACES…BOSSIP, I WILL BE MAKING PHONE CALLS TODAY FOR THE RECORD.
**THIS SITE SHOULD BE FOR ENTERTAINMENT AND JOKES NOT TO DISH OUT RACIAL SLURS ON THE SIDE**
“I will never say anything in my lifetime that will make any of these young women at Rutgers regret or feel foolish that they accepted my apology and forgave me. And no one else will say anything on my program that will make anyone think I did not deserve a second chance.”
^^^^
OF COURSE NOT IMUS….YOUR ALREADY 9/10TH IN THE GRAVE ALREADY…TIC TOC TIC TOC….I KNOW, I’M GOING TO HELL FOR THAT !
OF COURSE NOT IMUS….YOUR ALREADY 9/10TH IN THE GRAVE ALREADY…TIC TOC TIC TOC….I KNOW, I’M GOING TO HELL FOR THAT !
lolololololol^^^^^^^
SELL OUTS!!!!
Why is it that Bill O’Reilly, John Gibson, and Glen Beck can get away with saying racist things on a daily basis, but Imus was fired for his remarks. We should hold anyone that makes disparaging remarks about someones race, religion or sexual preference accountable.
The difference between Imus and the other people mentioned above, is Imus was against the war and spoke out about it on his show.
Of course what he said was offensive, but Fox News making false claims about Obama’s childhood was also offensive. Glen Beck asking the first Muslim congressman to “prove to me that you are not working with our enemies” Is also offensive. I believe that Imus’s firing was more about politics and less about the hurt feelings of people within the African American community.
Now he got 2 nappy headed coon’s by his side. SMH
I agree with you, rainlillie. No offense, but I think all those men are nothing but racist white ‘honkies’, in the words of my grandma.
FUCK DON IMUS.

So true and to add on why is it that black people get away with saying racist things on a daily basis? I watched about 4 mins. of Boondocks the other night and was in shock. How the hell do they let them play that? Is it b/c it’s black characters saying racial and stereotypical stuff or b/c the creators/director is black that it is excused? Please, if you’re gonna be outraged by someone’s racist comments then be outraged at all of them not just the WHITE FOLKS.
It’s so funny how we as a black race, can sit here each and every day and call each other nappy headed, black as tar, and n*ggas, but get real pissy when a white person says it????? If we stop saying it to each other and especially in front of company, they have no choice but to stop saying it…..Whites aren’t the ones setting our race back, we are. We are our own worse enemy!
Just Sit And Be Pretty
So true let my Isaiah Washington get his job back!..What he said was begind closed doors and he gets fired??While Don Imus and many other celebrities can be open about their prejudice remarks on television and still be able to keep their job?..We have no equality here!
LMAO @ AND..
so true he does have the rights to his opinions of how he feels about anything no matter how ignorant..because ignorance to me is to be laughed at..Don Imus said was not culturally sensitve black woman at all..he made a joke about how rough looking the women were..he said so about the white women too..pretty much sayin that they butch..but since he was white..all hell broke loose when he said “Nappy Headed hoe”..if he was black he would’ve got away with it..so let me ask everyone on Bossip..are we being prejudice when we can say hurtful things about each other jokingly but if a white person says it jokingly it’s not okay?..Think about it logically than emotionally and come back with a response
@dani
I never watched Grey’s so why did Isaiah get kicked off?
@ rainlillie
my sentiments exactly!!!
Hannity and Colmes (Faux News) attempt to belittle the black community on a daily basis but are never reprimanded. Imus’ remarks were made to entertain and shock, he was not placed on the air to “make nice”, hence shock jock. If anyone on here believes that Imus is the grand dragon then you definitely don’t need to listen to Howard Stern’s show. The intent of these shows is to boost ratings and revenue for the parent company (Viacom). They could care less about embracing or supporting a minority group. What’s really scary is that the same company that owns BET also owns Faux News.
It seems that it’s okay for each race to say offensive things to their own but you can’t do it to any other race without getting in trouble.
AND..
he got kicked off because he called one of the co-stars a “faggot” on set which was said behind the cameras and someone snitched and told the media and then it got out so he was fired. I’m not saying that it’s right for him to disrepect gay people but some people get second chances..if you get Don Imus a second chance than they can help the brotha out and give him his job back..he was a damn good actor on the show
I knew this clown would be back… he made too much money for radio to stay away for long
Maybe it is cause I not struggling, definitely not rich, but Imus couldn’t pay me enough to be on his lame ass show. There are plenty of way to get money that dont involve his old racist ass.
I guess I shouldn’t be shocked that he found two no-name black comedians who don’t feel the same way….
Just like Halle Berry talking about her jewish cousin and they turned on her saying she was racist. Hell, that’s her cousin but her complexion was too dark to get away with it apparently and hollywood loves halle.
@dani
Is he working now? I mean for someone else. Imus got a job back but not his original job right?
AND..
I agree but isn’t that prejudice though? Doesn’t that affect how we the human race communicate with one another?..I mean if some white person called me a watermelon eating black person..I wouldn’t get upset because I don’t like watermelon..I understand the negative connotation said behind it.but ignorance is to be laughed at..why get so negative and when it was already negative to begin with..that’s not helping it..lol..prove to that person their ignorance doesn’t matter…instead of getting Don Imus kicked off air..they should’ve had him fund his money into Spellman College
AND..
I don’t know if he was working but the brotha does need some help with anger management though..he is too talented to be acting a damn fool..but I know in some way it hurt his career
@dani
I agree (11:35 post). I just can’t stand double standard. The same people calling each other the N-word and every variation of it meaning the same thing want to call Imus racist. If he is racist then so are they and yet I haven’t seen half as many people get upset about that.
It’s okay that a white person calls you a watermelon eatin black person? WOW…
whose Tony Powell? i’ve seen Karith Foster on Comedy Central. she’s mildly humorous.
Guess I’m out of touch. I’ve never heard of Tony Powell nor Karith Foster
**who’s
Ummm, Imus’ whole establishment if offensive. That fool had a history of making ignorant comments against blacks.
And so he’s got black folks as tokens, and I’m the only who find it offensive?
Regarding him and making comments against the war. Umm, well, nobody wanted him fired accept for a lot of blacks. In fact, they tried hard to keep him, the pressure from Sharpton and ‘em was too much – and Sharpton himself is anti-war. So I seriously doubt that was the case.
*is offensive.
A brightseatbully
no i never said that I’m saying that reaction to ignorance counts..I’m thinking logically than emotionally..i said that i understand the negative connotation behind it but why get upset and get react negatively to something that’s already negative?..lol..you got to brush your shoulders off on negative shit no matter who says it..let them know they no matter what they say won’t ever break you down
You know Imus had two previous sidekicks, a Jew and this other dude named Mcgirk or something. Both the jew and mcgirk would constantly pushe old man Imus to say the most damaging things, they constantly instigated shit. The jews you owned his station and all the other media outlets kept Imus on the air even when he said anti-semitic things because Imus was making boatloads of money for them, but you better believe they never forgot about this bigoted slurs and waited for the supreme moment to pay him back, that moment came with the female basketball team. They knew that there would be a public backlash against firing Imus, and to keep that backlash off the jews, and onto the blacks, they kicked him to the curb when black folks demanded his head. Right after Old man Imus made his remarks he wanted to go directly to the girls to apologize, but smelling large rantings and a boost in his prestige,his jewish boss forced him to go to process headed Sharpton to make amends. it all sounds fishy to me.
Don like Isiah Washington didn’t get his old job back. Its a total different show now. He’s no longer allowed to make jokes without the fear of tactical censorship. just like Isiah Washington. Washington didn’t get his old job back but is now on nbc staring in the Bionic women. Unlike Imus, nobody was “OUTRAGED” over this. He was allowed to work with out idiots protesting him and he barely got any press from the media about it. Its just another example of the double standard.
SMH, LMAO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Psssst….: I heard that Imus’ lil’ brother, Ronnie Imus and Bill O’Reilly’s cousin, Silly Willie O’Reilly own Bossip…
NOW WHAT?
Is it not okay for Bossip to call our folk coons, hoes, or say that they are “burnin?” GTFOH!
As for that old Imus B.S, I still do not think it was right for him to have called those ladies hoes…he didn’t know they sexuals… The problem was when he called them “nappy-headed” and it was TRUE.
“Nappy” is a shortened term for “Napkin Head.” Napkin Head is a term, once again, that white southerners would use to refer to the slaves who wore the napkins on their heads (like scarves) to cover their head from the sun and constant ridicule (from whites and eventually their/our own kind) regarding the texture of their hair. So, IF U R ASHAMED OF THE HAIR YOUR GOD And ANCESTORS put on your head and u feel the need to alter it with some process to get it “more managable” or however the fucc u rationlize it, u are a NAPKIN HEAD. “More manageable…” That kills me. Lemme get this skraight, how is anything more cooperative than natural hair? How is straightening it and/or adding fake hair and then having to deal with it falling in your eyes constantly, pulling it off ur neck or having to “retouch” it more manageable?
Our folks, even our men, get texturizers (perms), presses, perm perms, straightners, processes, etc. so THAT THEIR HAIR WILL LOOK MORE LIKE…LIKE…LIKE WHITE FOLKS (that is, with the exception, ironically, of Don Imus)!!! Who really cares about Imus? He ain’t runnin’ nothin and neither are most of us. U want to see some equity, some fairness, some justice? STOP WASTING TIME ON STRAIGHTENING AND FIXIN’ YOUR HAIR. STRAIGHTEN AND FIX UR EmmEFF’n MIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
p.s. for the record, i almost died dead when the ladies Imus insulted had their press conference and the vast majority of them had presses,perms, weaves, extensions, slickums, etc…I don’t know about all that “hoe” talk, but what I saw, save one or two of ‘em, was a bunch of New Millinneum brainwashed Napkin Heads still trying to make somebody think otherwise.
Home girl better keep the relaxers coming.
Pops, a character on a TV show is less important than a man with his own show. Also, people did boycott ABC and many signed petitions online that led to the decision to have Isaiah fired.
MSNBC audience is more sensitive toward blacks than Fox audience that’s why Don got the boot. Sponsors were pulling out as well. It’s a business you can’t let one ignorant person sink the network. Fox’s viewer’s(besides the ones that watch Fox simply because they love to hate Hannity and O’Rielly)have a very racist mindset so O’Reiley saying racist stuff doesn’t shake thier viewers. Very High rating on that show. Scary!
hell, that girl looks JUST LIKE HIM! are we sure this isn’t his illegitamate child from some nappy headed hoe? i don’t know .. and the gay brother looks like he stay clowing blacks, so good look for the uncle tom .. wow .. i can’t wait till something pops off ..cause you know it will
Now white people are going to say that those two black people who now work with Don Imus were given Affirmative Action positions.
Your blog is really a joke. Get with it. White people do not think two African American comedians are tokens. Are you NUTS?
Give the man a break.
WHY TONY GOT THA GAY NEYO LOOK
WHO R DEZ PEOPLE DAT SOLD OUT TO GET A JOB

PEEP THA NEW SMOKERS ANTHEM “SMOKED OUT”
Larry King is really unattractive. I mean, really.
There’s a more bangin’ dilemna…Larry King or Don Imus?
Gotdayummmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!
does anyone else find this funny? he gets in trouble for calling a race “names” then goes and hires said race on hs next show? It’s like those ppl that say ” I’m not racist, i have black friends”
LMAO!!!
@ Bahama Mama
I thought that too that is hilarious!
of course it’s funny!! he knows what he’s doing…trying to score points!! he wants us all to accept him now……….????
that was the first question I asked……
This could be hella interesting. I wonder what Imus’fanbase thinks of this.
never Don Imus NEEEVVVEERRRRRR!!!!
Nothing but white folk double talk. Yes, Don will say what he think people want to hear just to get back on the air and as to his two black cohost, I bet they won’t be there long!!
I’ll be looking for Chamillionaire’s reaction tonight…..
that’s an intelligent brotha!!
Yeah, WeSSide, Larry King is TOE up! He looks like the gecko on the GEICO.COM commercials. And he has a little girl, so somebody’s been giving him the puddy….ewww!
Curly Fries-
And he has a little girl, so somebody’s been giving him the puddy….ewww!
^^^^The thought alone makes me wrech….Ugghh.. Lawd, help me..
Curly Fries…
uh…i’d happily, willfully and graciously give it to that GEICO gecko… Sh*t…i’d give it to any gecko before I’d let a toe up alien headed lookin’ lizard like Larry King near my puddy!!!
Bahama Mama
does anyone else find this funny? he gets in trouble for calling a race “names” then goes and hires said race on hs next show? It’s like those ppl that say ” I’m not racist, i have black friends”
LMAO!!!
I heard he had a black guy on his last show so these two are nothing new and I doubt it’s for acceptance. He has his show back meaning he’s getting paid. What the hell does he care if the blacks accept him?
I can’t wait to hear Chamillionaire talk about that racist Don Imus. Maybe he should apoligize to the white folk for going in white face in a rap video. I guess its funny when we make fun of whiteboyz, but its bad if a dude like Imus wore black face. I doubt Larry King will call him out on that. You would never see some haevy metal singer in black face in a music video. They know better. Its wrong on both ends.
Thats true. If Fat Britney Spears dressed like Oprah, we would want her banned. This hate gots to stop.
did Chamillionaire had a baby with yaya from american next top model
@Lil Ray Ray
Wait, wait, wait, Chamillionaire dressed up in white face for a video????? WTF, no one said anything about that??? Aww hell naw that’s that bullshit I be talkin’ ’bout.
I’m glad he is given a second chance. We need to do that with Michael Vick as well. Let’s see if it happens!
@ AND…
he sure did..lol
Superman That Ho!
More black kids know and are affected by that line than will ever be affected by Imus’ comments.
AND >/B>
No I am not distracting attention from or taking up for Imus,
BUT
What’s the point of scrutinizing this guy and not our own?
AND
If Rap is just entertainment andis protected by the 1st Amendment,
SO
Is everything else anyone wants to say about us includin Don Imus.
I say, Protest Them All
As someone already stated, he had at least one black person on his show the first time. If I am not mistaken, this so-called brotha, actually participated in the use of the word “ho” to describe the women as well.
Superman That Ho
dani
@ AND…
he sure did..lol
Damn now why didn’t that get national news like Imus and Dogg.
@Kdogg
You are right. $100 says you go into a high school in inner city and ask the kids who is don imus they couldn’t tell you but ask them to sing the lyrics to crank that soulja boy and they would all be in unison. You are on it man. We (that includes me) are focused on Imus like he is reaching everybody. These kids are calling each other ho all the damn time and WE don’t throw a fit about that. SMDH…

I definitely watching Chamillionaire on Larry King…that’s gonna be way more interesting than seeing Cam’ron on 60minutes.
Never heard of these two comedians…they must be trying to jump start a career that never got off the ground. I bet you those two grew up in the surburbs, went to an all-white school, and are conservative.
You don’t even have to go to high school. Elementary kids can recite Souljah Boy lyrics and cant ever get their Sunday School bible verse right.
If I could place a copyright on the words “Ho”, “nigga,nigger, and other variations”, and “nappy-headed”, I wonder which race and/or gender would have to pay me the most in royalties?
Commercial Hip Hop AND certain R&B/pop are in need of major reforms. And that goes to the Beyonce lovers out there. Her style of music is as DANGEROUS as commercial Commercial Rap.
Chamillionaire is a pretty well spoken individual.
I bet he’d sound even better if his mouth didn’t weigh 3 lbs.

i agree, nahnah. and of course, not only her style of music but her “style,”
—period. The hair, the image, the empty chatter…gross! Once, i would love to see that sister come out with her little afro…but it will prolly never happen. all hopes of that prolly died when she/her handlers had her real nose cut off and the fake mammaries slapped in.

You act as if the majority of blacks use ‘nigger’ in their everyday language. The majority of blacks DO NOT USE NIGGER/NIGGA.
And just because whites don’t use ‘nigger’ in public doesn’t mean they don’t use it. In fact, whites have been taught to be politically correct when dealing with black people.
In regards to ‘ho’, whites may not use ‘ho’, but they sure as hell use ‘whore’.
I’ll give it to you for ‘nappy headed’. I think blacks utilize it more than whites, but blacks ain’t create that word, whites did.
Some people have tried to defend our music and minimize its effect on our music by pointing out the fact that whites are the main purchasers of it. Whites are probably the main purchasers of most things in the US since they are the majority, but thats beside the point. They probably were the main ones purchasing tickets to the minstrel shows as well. They came out in droves to watch hangings. Slave Auctions were social gatherings.
Our music has become a parody of our culture and has become guilty of defining our culture as well. Whites have always loved watching us make fools of ourselves and they have never had a short supply of minstrels to please them. Our entire culture right now is labeled as “The Hip Hop Culture.” We are the only ethnic group (African American) to have their culture limited to a style of music. We are the only ethnic group that lets the music define our behavior…our speech, dress, etc.
WeSSide Eviscer8r:
right! i mean, those who criticise rap msuic must be willing to criticise those highly paid video whores out there who trademark their body parts and shake their thighs on stage, and sell millions of records based on that gimmick alone.
seriously, what message are those ‘artists’ sending to our young girls and boys out there? yep, we ain’t worth a damn thing intellectually. but we sure can shake our asses.
@ nahnah
Obviously I am talking about the public use of those words. I am also clearly directing this at the music as I would get paid everytime a song was made using those words. I’m also accurately describing our youth as their vocabularies have become increasingly limite. Nah mean? Nahmsayin? That was a hypothetical statement and nothing more.
However, I take my kids to a park on Sunday afternoons. Why do I hear the “N” word constantly coming from the black kids at the park? White kids are there too. They may be saying it behind my back but the kids that look like me are saying it out loud in front of everyone. Thats a reality. If we don’t use the “N” word more than whites, we definately use it in public and in our music more than they do. Thats more harmful in my opinion, especially if an impressionable 5 or 6 year old is around…like mine were, at the park.
I just saw that Chamillionaire is going on the Larry King show to talk about this. That’s a joke. He calls black women hoes on his CDs. I wish the media would stop showing these bullshit machismo black fake ass men and show the REAL BLACK MEN!

IDK about her style of music maybe I’m too much of a fan to see anything wrong with it but her style in general needs to reform. I also agree with your 5:09 post but disagree with the 4:54 post. I could very well be wrong (and I hope that I am) but I think the majority of black american use the N-word
when I read your posts, the song that pooped in my head was “Man in the Mirror”. Michael Jackson wrote truth when he wrote that song. We got to start with ourselves….I agree with you one million percent!

^^^never a truer statment. They know not to say to our faces whether from political correctness or fear the things they say in their own homes. I however know that the 1st amendment give the right to say whatever they want and yet when Imus or Dogg says it in public it is sooooo horrible. I guess 1st amendment don’t mean shit after all.
My last post was to KDogg.
@Kdogg
I really enjoy reading your threads.
If we don’t use the “N” word more than whites, we definately use it in public and in our music more than they do.

Yes, we do, in public. It’s true.
And…
I don’t know about you, but i don’t see too many middle-aged blacks going around calling each other ‘nigga’. I hardly heard my black peers in college, both undergrad and grad, calling each other nigger/nigga. I don’t know too many black professionals calling each other nigger/nigga. I don’t know of any black teachers, social workers, bankers, calling each other nigger/nigga.
I do, however, see a bunch of young street kids/teens/young adults referring to each other as ‘my nigga’. And those people, regardless of how overrepresented they are in the media, are NOT the majority of black people.
i wonder if I am awaiting moderation on all threads…

i have..lol..I have heard alot of middle-aged blacks use the term nigga..don’t be fooled into thinking that only hood teenage black kids use it..lol…Hip-Hop is a reflection of the negative stereotypes that flourish the black community…alot old folks are upset at hip-hop because they feel that it is not the postive representation of us..may be so..but was hip-hop the first to use the word “nigga” in a postive connotation?..I’m afraid ladies and gentlmen it was not..I read the Autobiogrpahy of an Ex-Colored man by James Weldon Johnson and he said for the first time in life he heard the word nigga come out of black folks mouths in a postive way..he was over-whelmed..note this book was published in 1926 during the Harlem Renaisssance Era..this word has been carried on for so many years..and so when hip-hop becomes this huge phenomenon, alot older Black Americans were upset because they know that once white kids get hold of this word it’s all over so they start to blame hip-hop for something that they started or their people before started it…and it is because due to use changing the meaning, it has caused some prejudice and confusion amongest ourselves and other races of useing it..Hip-Hop was catalyst but it wasn’t the creator of it..I’m defending hip-hop but I don’t think it’s fair to fully blame it..these rappers talk about what they have gne through..so if they see their momma or uncle or someone in their family use the word “nigga” they are going to think it’s okay because they were raised to think use that word..it has gone on for so long that it’s hard to end it now.that’s just my .02 cents maybe a dollar because I wrote alot..lol
i can’t quote you any statistics, but i know MANY black professionals (doctors, nurses, bankers, professors, attorneys, teachers, social workers…) that use the n-word. it’s wrong, but it happens. at no point, however, does that make it ok for don imus to do such.
more importantly, did Sun Goddess quote mike in a previous post? and nobody’s gonna say anything?
@ brightseatbully
why should that matter if sun goddess quotes michael jackson? That song is very postive and he he didn’t write it…but he sang it from his heart..lol.however I agree with that i have heard black people from different backgrounds use it
well, i don’t know where you guys are from, but where i’m from, i rarely hear nigger/nigga from the mouths of the black folks around me.
in fact, the majority of blacks i know tend to verablly protest that word whenever they hear other blacks are saying it.
but i’m still inclined to believe the majority of black people don’t refer to other blacks as ‘my nigga’ or ‘this nigga’.
seriously, in what other way do black people use that word?
@nahnah
that’s the question that I’ve been asking for so long..why do we use it..where did it begin???..How did this happened?..i dunno we might not ever know..lol
I GUESS IT PAYS TO BE WHITE!

FOR SOME REASON BEYONCE HAD THIS SONG REMOVED. LEAVE ME A COMMENT AND TELL ME WHY YOU THINK THIS SONG WAS REMOVED FROM MYSPACE!!!
wow! is it like that, Bossip? i am not allowed to post defending Mumia but Texas dude speaking out against Mumia gets to keep posting?!
it matters that she quoted it simply because it’s FUNNY. i like and know the words to many songs from 20 years ago. am i about to write the words on an internet message board? no. hence the humor. it ain’t personal. just comical.
Mamasay, mamasah, mamacusah.
Continuing to discuss Imus is a waste of your time. He is back and if you don’t like it don’t listen.
who are these two sellouts? i would’nt work with him i would knock him da fuck out then wake him with a pimp daddy golden shower.
extreme, yet appropriate.
