Reflections

I think that what Don Imus said about the women of the Rutgers basketball team was very disrespectful. I don’t think that there is anything he can say to justify it. When he called them “nappy headed hoes” he laughed afterwards, he thought that it was funny. I don’t know what would make him say something like that. As black women I am very offended and shocked. I know a lot of people say why so much coverage of this story is there now when he always says stuff about people? I think that there is so much coverage on this issue is because what he said was very demeaning, it was both sexist and racist.
I think that they should not accept his apology. They don’t owe him anything. He already gave his opinion on what he thinks about that them. They could go hear what he has to say and see if it is a really heart felt apology but I don’t think that they have to accept it. As a black female I have really strong feelings about this so I can only imagine how the women are handling this.
