Should the First Amendment Cost you Your Job?????

Its just funny how there are certain restrictions to the first amendment. No don't get me wrong I don't like Don Imus at all ,but he shouldn't be fired from his job. I say that to say this, he has the right to say whatever he wants. Who are we to say what another person can say or not say. Now I don't know how the FCC regulates stuff like that , but the First Amendment is the First Amendment. You shouldn't be fired for saying your true feelings.

No matter how many times he apologize , or meet black people to show how sorry he is for saying it, he still felt that the Rugters Women Team was "Nappy Headed Hoes". He shouldn't be punished or any one be punished for saying what you feel. The punishment in the beginning was cool to block him off the air for 2 weeks for inappropriate comments, but not to block him off the T. V. for good. If old white men can't say what they want in America anymore , there is no hope for anyone in is country.

No matter who feelings you hurt , you have the right to say what you want in this country. You might not like what that person said, you still have the right . I don't want anyone to take my freedom of speech away. Whats next , no freedom of religion? We can kill and have the right to bear arms but can say what we want? Movies and music express themselves all the time, also with a rating on their material. But I think this was a witch hunt against Don Imus to remove him from the T.V. and the air. They couldn't find anything to pin on him so they let Imus hang himself with something that he couldn't get rid of. For years he has belittled every race and nationality without any persecution. Now calling black women Nappy Hoes is the last straw for Imus? What does this do for the African American community or the Rutgers team. In the 60's blacks have endured more than just being called Nappy Hoes but now this is the last straw? It makes no sense to me. Not in any way am I supporting Don Imus, but this doesn't help or hurt the African American community. It just gives something for Al Sharpton to rant about ( #1 hypocrite in the world). Please can we get a clue and see the real issues. I told this white woman that agreed with me over a cup of coffee that this along with Anna Nicole paternity circus is nothing more that something to keep us not focusing on the Iraq War .......
