No. I’m not going to defend Don Imus. He’s old, passe, and plain stupid. “Nappy headed ho’s” won’t even get a laugh in a nitrous oxide bar. The fact that he’s 76 just shows he’s old and wanted attention. A lot like Grandpa when he wet himself during Thanksgiving dinner last year. Don Imus is irrelevant, because he’s fired.

But what of my buddy Al Sharpton? He was at the front of the rabid pack demanding apologies from Imus. But what about Sharpton’s comments immediately following the bogus Duke Lacrosse team accusations? And Sharpton’s color is no more of a defense than Imus’s age and bad taste.

Sharpton had already put Tawana Brawley on a national stage years ago, with false accusations about white men attacking a black girl. He paraded his pomaded hair in front of the media months ago, making the loudest noise about the 3 Duke lacrosse players indicted for assaulting an ACTUAL nappy headed ho. I’ve heard Imus’s late and warbling apologies. Where’s Al?

This is the unfortunate game we’re playing in America. It’s called “pointing fingers”. Kind of like a quick draw contest. And if you can bring race into the equation…all the better. The self righteousness is oozing with irony. Al Sharpton..defender of african american women. Defender of Rutgers women’s basketball. Defender of Tawana Brawley.

Don Imus doesn’t pretend to speak for me. And if he tried, I’d slap him upside his 76 year old head. But Sharpton wants to convince America that he speaks for his ethnicity. I think black America knows better.

Al Sharpton is playing the finger pointing game. And I guess now I’m pointing my finger at him. Invariably, an upset reader will then question my ethnic sensitivities. So let’s start over.

Rutgers lost the women’s NCAA final game. And their hair had nothing to do with it.

Don Imus deserved to be fired. Because he stooped way too low for attention.

Prostitutes who are assaulted deserve justice.

Prostitutes who lie about being assaulted deserve to be fired like Imus..well…I’m not sure how to do that. But a good start would be to force Sharpton to meet with the prostitute and have them apologize together. Then we can all sing Kumbaya and stop pointing.
