C'mon, Time to get over it!







I say it like this: "Damn, some people's kids." And what I mean by that is that there is a direct reflection (like it or not) between our parents or those "significant others" who responsible for raising us.

Correct me if I am wrong here but wasn't it well-known that none of the players from Rutgers University even knew who Don Imus was, albeit, that he could be some male, located somewhere in the United States of America? Moreover, didn't I hear the captain of that basketball team as well as their coach, forgive him?

Today, AP writer Colleen Long wrote an extremely good article that caught my eye, and here is the link: Kia Vaughn filed the lawsuit alleging slander and defamation of character in state Supreme Court in the Bronx the same day Imus settled with CBS Radio in a deal that pre-empts his threatened $120 million breach-of-contract lawsuit against CBS. The settlement allows him to make a comeback bid at a new station.

What in the world has "nappy" have to do with a reputation? Moreover, I am hard pressed right now to even think of any Wayan's Brothers or Spike Lee's films make a constant use of the word "ho."

Hey, the famous professor Dr. Brown who teaches with passion at George Mason University and Northern Virginia Community College, with her hair all up and white as lightening made it known clearly to our class and two well-known models taking the class: "Ladies and Gentlemen…oh she started so slowly, when I grew up—as long ago as that was—we only had two kinds of hair: good hair and bad hair!" So please let it go.

Don Imus admitted that he made a mistake. He with heart in hand took Al Sharpton's lecturing. He traveled to New Jersey to confront those—who really didn't know him—just to let them realize how broken up he is about this matter. This much I remember clearly—Don Imus hugged every single person involved and rendered a personal apology as well.

Therefore in finale, set an example to those unfortunate folks out there who are slandering you; and stand up and say, "I had a dream…where someone had enough sense NOT to let a lawyer call it a 'good case'…I had a dream that someone wasn't cluttering up a judicial system to make a buck, or I had a dream where a judge was not suing a family and their owned laundry business for $58 million dollars! Let it go…you are a far better person than this. Thank you.
