Focusing on this small man's small voice is a step backward in dissolving racial barriers and conflicts. We hit the snooze in the morning; we cringe when the sirens fly by; we likewise choose the media we take in. I don’t listen to racist shock jocks; I don’t listen to rap. This country will be focused on racism as long as it loves to hear about it. Do me a kindness, turn it down?

Racism is bad, yes, but there will always be racism in one form or another. Let's compare Dave Chappelle and Al Sharpton. Dave Chappelle pokes fun at it and Al Sharpton takes offense to it, but both man make millions of dollars off of racism. Imus' comments were offensive but seemed to be expressed in a joking manner, so why not laugh at it and forget about it? Racism will always be around, but it's how we deal with it that will change the way it affects us.
