Imus At It Again

Imus clearly can't help himself however at least this was on his radio show and not on MSNBC in the morning where he co-mingled this BS with reputable, informative guests. He's where he belongs with the kind of audience who lives and breathes this foolishness.
Wolf: "Defensive back Adam 'Pacman' Jones, recently signed by the Cowboys. Here's a guy suspended all of 2007 following a shooting in a Vegas night club."


Imus: "Well, stuff happens. You're in a night club, for God's sake. What do you think's gonna happen in a night club? People are drinking and doing drugs, there are women there, and people have guns. So, there, go ahead."


Wolf: "He's also been arrested six times since being drafted by Tennessee in 2005."


Imus: "What color is he?"


Wolf: "He's African-American."


Imus: "Well, there you go. Now we know."


Update: So, Imus says he was defending Pacman and was not being derogatory. I actually heard a longer segment of the program and I can see where that might be the case so I'll backpedal on my criticism. But, I do think that someone needs to tell them that "African-American" is not a color.
