The young basketball team of Rutgers University said they were offended when the radio commentator Donald Imus dared to insult the hair, the so-called "nappy-headed hos" (or, in Puerto Rico, "with strapping Hair tap ").
"How dare you insult me this gift to your hair?" Said offended Essence Carson, captain of the team Rutgers women's basketball. "What we are half strapping, good: bread, bread and wine, wine ... we are whores, pussy, but my hair can not be as good!"

Matthew Ajavon, another member of the team, said between sobs: "I can not believe that after I killed for hours smoothing the hair to look like Rapunzel, come insultarmelo someone that old ... I should not apologize only to me but also my stylist! "
"That a white man came to tell me I have bad hair?" Exclaimed Ajavon. "Oh, I did not di'int!"
The reaction of her stylist, LaShawnda Johnson, was also angry: "I am an expert of the smoothing, and I do not know who it is believed that this is the old (which is quite descojonao hair, let me tell you) to come and criticize my domain the tongs in the art of styling. Be true that Matthew has so much mileage you already cleared the counter to zero, but her hair is on show. "
"When the girls leave my salon," said the proud designer LaShawnda Jackson, "could be the protagonist in a novel or a Mexican Miss Venezuela"
At the beginning of the controversy, Imus insulting comments released just threw more fuel on the fire, saying: "Why do not these girls could do as the Harlem Globetrotters, and get a sense of humor of the great passes that are their heads? "When the issue became a national scandal, Imus had to come quietly and try to mend the injury, even offering to donate his salary for one year, amounting to $ 10 million to a charity of choice Rutgers team.
"Sure," said Essence, "the white man always trying to heal the Lord with all money ... as if those 10 million to feed millions of children throughout the years to repair the affront to my hair and that of my mates! "he exclaimed, while millions of hungry children dissented.
The negotiation of what would be an appropriate compensation for the damage continued to escalate, and when the offers to dismiss Imus from his radio program, imprison, and even send him to live in Harlem for a year, all were rejected by the girls as "insufficiently penitent "Imus had no choice but to sacrifice, bathing in gasoline and burned alive.

"This still keeps us unsatisfied," said Essence.

From here you can clearly see that his jaw may still move a little but not heard apologizing. Our hair is still highly offended! "

The average American creates a vicious cycle that obliges them to use the politically incorrect to sell or to censor it in extreme cases like those of Don Imus, the radio veteran car crushed by the same media stars and stripes, which, as created He destroyed

New York - If the Italian television blasphemy can be fatal to a competitor of Big Brother, on average statunitesi the politically incorrect - especially if it touches the wounds never healed as racial discrimination - can trim thirty-year career full of successes.
This is the case of Don Imus, the popular CBS radio that has attracted the criticism of politicians, journalists and the American black community for having defined the players of the basketball team of Rutgers University in New Jersey, on the day of Students win the championship, nappy-headed hos, or "black accrue from terrorism", taken around the hair fashion ranging between girls of color. Hos is a rapper who use the color that should never be on mouth of a person with white skin: Some words - like nigger - assume different meanings according to who says, can create solidarity if used in the same community or mark irreconcilable fractures.
The operator, after an initial suspension of two weeks, was fired by CBS and MSNBC, which broadcast its program of interviews with simultaneous radio rival.
The case has gained the front pages of New York Times and Washington Post and the weekly covers of Time and Newsweek. For a week the America, was interrogated on the question: what can we say and what you can not say on average, when speaks to the whole nation?
Even the presidential candidates of 2008 have not pulled back. The former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, interviewed by Newsweek, said he sees no racial discrimination in the attitude of Imus. The New York senator Hillary Clinton, by contrast, has just gone to university girls offenses - advantage, the most noticeable hull, long taboo dell'insulto broadcast media - to give a lecture on why the policy has: women and public leadership. For his part, Barack Obama, the son of a black African, had joined the vehement protests of the black community, led by its historic leader, former presidential candidate Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, who had asked the top court for the Cbs the head of the radio commentator.
After politics, it became the finance: the Imus show, which led CBS to two million listeners a day and 15 million dollars a year, began to lose large advertisers like American Express, Staples and Procter & Gamble .
"There was a big debate on the effect of expressions like those of Imus on our youth, especially girls of color who seek to make its way into society" said the chairman of CBS, Les Moonves, announcing the decision to torpedo the popular conductor, the cow 67enne boy who lives on a ranch in New Mexico, at one time included by Time among the 25 most influential people of America: politicians of right and left were competing for an interview and in un'ospitata his living room radio.
Miner, singer, train driver, assigned to the gas pumps, a novelist, Marine. Don Imus, Class 1940, has had an active life. The use - and abuse - of alcohol and cocaine had already lost the job at WNBC in 1977, which two years later, however, attracted him. In 1985 the tenant was assisted by Howard Stern, and equally controversial as well paid as the peak torque of TV channel. Imus is also remembered for having apostrophe Gwen Ifill, a journalist of color Cbs call from New York Times to tell the Clinton presidency. "The Times is not great? - Had the driver commented sarcastic cow boy - The journal of New York called the cleaning lady to tell the White House! "And the famous blogger Ana Marie Cox," discovery "by Imus, remembers how embarrassing it was to endure for the appreciation his "beautiful pair of eyes ...."
As Time explained, the term nappy-headed hos, which attracted many lawyers ready to begin lexical endless guerrilla warfare, is a real diamond dell'insulto a perfect creation because it created discrimination of race, gender, and perhaps even class. "Imus is white, rich and famous and if taken with the young college girls, mostly black, often wealthy, but also because so much noise?" Asks James Poniewozik on the week, remembering that the insults from the signing prestigiosa abound in the recent history of statuntensi media. Some examples? The comedian Michael Richards and "nigger" (negro). The actor Isaiah Washington and "fagot" (frocio). Senator George Allen and "Macaca." Mel Gibson finally did speak with himself and his "fucking Jews" (fucking jew) addressed to the police who had stopped while drunk driving.
The politically incorrect also sells: the list of films and show successful use of equipment and politically incorrect jokes is very long. Consider the recent Borat, in which the protagonist enters a store of arms ask for "something to make out a jew", the large production of Quentin Tarantino and the cruel jokes of the cartoon South Park.
The problem, in short, is a mountain. "What Imus said - Brent Budowsky writes in The Hill, published widely in the palaces of the United States, taken from the site MediaChannel - is just the latest example of the rancor, ridicule, bias and bigotry infest politics and American media. The problem is not Imus, but rather the idea that it is profitable to sow hatred, venom and ugliness in public debate run by the media. "
What happens, continues Budowsky, is that the rich and famous they spit their insults, then follow them from a contrite and apologize and then business as usual as if nothing had happened, until the next player, who will follow the same scheme.
"These vicious circles of the media must be stopped" judgments, the journalist who, as an alternative to dismissal of Imus, it proposes to devote the annual salary of the holder to any charitable foundation designated by the Rutgers players.
The radio commentator, however, began a tour of apology, however, speaking of charity: one which, at first hand, brings out by several years, as support for the candidate Harold Ford Junior color or aid offered to sick children in his ranch. His torpedoing also stopped marathon radio subscriptions for a number of charitable causes he supported with more than 40 million dollars since 1990. Imus also has also raised 6 million dollars for the Center for the intrepid, which hosts wounded soldiers in the war in Iraq in the process of rehabilitation. His words, says the radio commentator, should be considered in the broader context of charitable activities promoted by him.
But the Time commented with irony that it is not the charity of the Imus ranch to go on the air twenty hours a week, but a show full of double meanings and jokes with which the political world, sometimes moralistic, must make compromises. In fact, the Washington Post wonders who will end the friendship - rather than professional - developed by Imus: the Republican candidate John McCain for the presidency, the powerful Nbc journalist Tim Russert, who has sent gifts to the son of radio or my colleague Bob Schieffer of CBS.
The American media, the same as for the robbery of a bank in a suburb of Atlanta at the hands of two blonde girls speak of banned Barbie, create a truly vicious circle, which obliges them to use the politically incorrect to sell or to censor it in extreme cases as those of Gibson and Imus, a veteran of the radio but had not grasped the perverse workings of the media machine in the stars and stripes, which, as it has created, he has destroyed.
