If they did not apologize to me and promise to stop using it then I demanded their ID card and turned them into social actions. NO ONE should use ANY racial tags EVER!

It seems that ONLY blacks are allowed to make racially charged comments because according to them its impossible for them TO be racist. NONE of this stuff improves racial relations. All this double standard does is piss off white people.

So, in effect, Imus was kicking them while they were down.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Besides, I still would argue that these are just kids that play basketball. If they are mad, it's because somebody told them (repeatedly) that they should be.

So, these girls are students that play basketball. They have had rude things said about them by a public figure, gotten harrassed by the press about it, then exploited by so-called civil-rights(read:hate-merchants) activists.

He was the only black person in the department. Some people laughed, some people (like me) quickly vacated the area. I did it because of my military experience. A word to everyone.
