Never listened to him before, won't listen to him now.

Same here, so how could I be angry, right?

I was just curious to see what other people think, perhaps his regular listeners, perhaps followers of that preacher dude, whatshisname? Rev. Shopten or something like that.

The reason they took him off the air I think would be because the sponsors (advertisers) who have paid for commercial time during that hour would no longer sponsor it.

Apparently they found better sponsors, eh? :-)

Right on, Wing!!! :-)

Sometimes you have to ask a poll question with an "edge" so people will want to respond.

I think he should have been taken off, but, not ONLY him.....what about all of the other people who make comments similar to that...especially if they are of another race and comment about the white race. The problem there is that the white race doesn't take such offense and stand together, so it goes unnoticed. I believe that what is good (or bad) for one, is bad for all.

No race should take offense to an innocent joke. People need to learn to laugh at themselves. If someone called me a dumb dago greaser I am quite sure it wouldn't get my knickers in a twist. Don't take life so seriously. Try smiling instead of frowning all the time.

I don't care one way or the other as I don't listen to the jerk. I think it was ridiculous for him to be taken off the air for the reason he was removed. I'm sure if he had referred to some dumb honkie, white cracker, nothing would have been said.

I know I wouldn't have cared. "sticks and stones can break my bones," is what mama always said.

Some people like to stay "offended". Imus is an idiot.

There are people who make a living out of looking for "racist" remarks.

lighten up people

its getting so you can't tell a joke about a person, place or thing without being called a racist, or being called a name. jokes are jokes and you should just laugh and enjoy life instead of looking for some little thing to blow out of proportion

what the crap. Like no one has ever heard of him, so why make this stupid question?????????

Nah buddy, the dude was nig news last year and it was a shame he lost his job over a few words about some girl's hair.

Good point. All he did was quote a couple of rap songs ...

He (like others of his ilk), should never have been put on the air to start with. I don't believe "shock jocks" serve a useful purpose.

I'm not angry, so "disagree". But that doesnt mean i'm happy

I dont even know who the hell this guy is.

He's kind of like Howard Stern but not half as interesting and not a quarter as "shocking."

Now i feel retarded. I don't know who Howard Stern is either.
