I just had a fight with my mom as to whether or not Don Imus is an asshole who deserved to be fired, so I'm inspired to pitch my two cents at your eyeballs. Yummay.

Are you offended by Don Imus? Well fuck you and shut up because nobody gives a shit what you think anyway. I am so sick of everyone's politically correct bullshit. People need to focus less on the insults being thrown at them and more on the actual fucking problems in the world!

When I go to Lambda, they all wanna bitch about who called them a Faggot and what little kid said something was Gay or Lame instead of saying stupid and I truly don't give a shit. Let's focus more on the important issues, like gay marriage. And this is coming from a woman who has no plans to waste her money on a wedding ceremony ever, and it's still more important to me than how offensive being a bundle of sticks is to you!

Women focus on being called a bitch, slut, whore, easy, loose, when meanwhile abortion is being basically made illegal through the back door, what with there only being two schools that even teach the procedure left in the States! Meanwhile, our teenage girls (yes, this does even happen in a place as "safe" as the US) are at risk of being napped from malls, schools, whatever and sold into prostitution, sometimes even in other countries.

And now this whole "nappy headed ho" comment. My friend sent me a rant today that I'm starting to wish I didn't close the window on, but this man's main gist was that the problems in the black community are internal: the rappers and ghettoians who insist it's all about nigga this and nigga that and becoming a pimp rather than going to school and getting a good education and all that crap. But instead, the extremists that should be working towards working these kinks out, such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, are more focused on assholes like Imus. Assholes like Imus who make a joke and suddenly the whole fucking world crumbles in on itself, so that no one has to deflate their own ego and go, "shit son, maybe the problem is ourselves!"

So we focus on these people who aren't really meaning their words, just trying for a laugh cos it's their job, and then we ignore the nut jobs. You know, the guy on MSNBC who says that what we need to do to better humanity is wipe out the entire white race. WITH A STRAIGHT FACE, FOLKS! Which by the way, is more crap. We'll be all better if we wipe out the Whites, or the Blacks, or the Middle Easterners, or the Asians, or the Rednecks, or the Christians, or the Islams, or the hippies. If we just take one thing out of the equation, we'll be all better folks! Generalization is the problem, and God fucking dammit, generalization will be the fucking solution too!

Look, I do think Imus is a dipshit and all that stuff, but one thing we should keep in mind and a good point made by Mr. Fab of Pointless Drivel: this guy does do a SHITLOAD of charity work. He works with autistic kids, and donates money, and does everything he can to help a cause he thinks needs it. And we fire him over three kind of cruel words.

Okay ... I think all the steam has been properly blown out my ears. By the way, this is probably less of me being totally involved in everything that happens in this and more of anger at my mother for being pissed that I had a varying opinion from hers. Anyway, g'nite folks.
