More (Hopefully the Last) on Imus
Bob Herbert has an outstanding followup commentary on the Imus insanity. He writes,
“Something has gone completely haywire when young American boys and girls are listening to songs like “Can You Control Yo Hoe” and “Break a Bitch Til I Die,” by Snoop Dogg, formerly Snoop Doggy Dogg, formerly Cordozar Calvin Broadus.”
He goes on,
“We should also be in a better place in the way that women are viewed and portrayed in the culture. And one of the first steps in a conversation about how to honestly address these issues should be a discussion of how to get more more blacks, other ethnic minorities and women into positions of real authority in the major news and entertainment outlets.”
What he said.
For a nice little compendium of the numerous outstanding feminist commentaries on Imus, check out Women’s Voices For Change. And lastly, John F. Sugg reminds us that it wasn’t so long ago that Neil Boortz let loose an eerily similar attack on Cynthia McKinney.
