Don Imus Controversy for 4/19

ANSWER ALL THREE QUESTIONS and post on your blog. Don't forget to put the questions in bold.
Short Answer: a few sentences for each question:
1. According to the NAACP, why should Imus be silenced?

Because he needs to be silenced for what he said to start a movement to get rid of the dirty language that is being used in the media.

2. According to Frank Rich, why should Imus not be silenced?

Because there are many other things being said on the air that are way more wrong and dirty then what Imus said. The NAACP is just picking on Imus because he's white and it's unfair that other races can say those words and it won't be wrong but for some people it will end up getting you fired? This doesn't make any sense because it is being extremely unfair to certain races.

Long Answer: Write a short essay, w/ intro, body and conclusion, about 4-5 paragraphs with at least 4 sentences each.
3. Do you think Imus should be silenced? Why?

Imus definitely shouldn't be silenced, you just have to read the first paragraph of this summary and know what the NAACP is doing to Don Imus is wrong. He's white and says something that would be alowd from a black person and he gets in trouble, the NAACP is being racist in doing so because it is unfair for one race to be alowd to say some things and the other race not alowd to say those things.
That would go against the whole "Everyone is equal," statement that I've heard so many places but the thing is that isn't true in this case. The NAACP is accusing Imus for saying something wrong when he didn't do anything wrong because going back to what I said before the NAACP would not take this out of perspective if he was black. This comment has got to get heard because I'm sure many people would agree.
Caucasian people have the hard life when it comes to Freedom Of Speed because there are words that will offend other races if you call them that, however, if someone from the same race call them that they'll take it as a "Hey man!" or something like that. It seems like only some black people will refer to someone from the same race as the N word. I think this because I've never heard another Mexican, Caucasion, or Asian person refer to a "friend" of their own race as the racist word for each one, (You know which ones I'm talking about).
In conclusion, I think that it is unfair and what the NAACP is doing to Imus. I don't know if this would be a good idea, but maybe give Imus his job back with a warning and an agreement that he won't refer to inicent people with racial words that can be very offensive to a certain race.
