The media has spoken with their silence. It's okay for black people to be clearly racist; it's not even okay for white people to say something that can be construed as racist.
For example, whatever else you think of Rush Limbaugh, his Donovan McNabb remarks were crticical of sports media; yet they were said to be racist and Limbaugh was put through a verbal ringer on TV and the Web.
And yet you have people like that moron in MontCalm's post, or Ward Churchill, who can aparently say whatever they want with impunity from their bosses or contemporaries. The rules are made up as we go, it seems. Is it good Don Imus is gone? Maybe. But why do we crucify him for one remark when people like Rosie O. Donnel can spew hatred for Jews, Christians, Lions, Tigers, Bears, and everything else under the sun on "The View" and not get fired?
Simple. She didn't say anything racist against black people or bigoted towards homosexuals, which seem to be the only unforgivable sins in media.
