Don Imus is in trouble again.
In a story about Adam “Pacman” Jones wanting a clean slate and dropping the nickname, it was mentioned that Jones had been arrested six times since being drafted by the Tennessee Titans. Imus then asked, “What color is he?” The answer that he was African-American drew Imus’ response: “Well, there you go.”
Later, Imus said he was making a sarcastic comment about why black people are picked on by the police.
Hmmm… Jones has never said that he’s been picked on.
Imus’ black producers have said the statement was out of context and it wasn’t racially offensive.
Hmm… They work for Imus, so they would naturally defend him.
The question that has to be asked: why even bring up Jones’ race in the discussion? The issue was him dropping the “Pacman” moniker and getting a fresh start.
I think Imus is an idiot. His true nature has revealed itself again. And the only reason he’s not going to be fired is because Adam Jones is not exactly a choir boy. He doesn’t have the virtues of the Rutgers basketball going for him. Most people associate Jones one step above Michael Vick.
And Imus continues on. Long live the legacy of George Carlin…
