This is a terrific quote from the great Snoop Dogg on Don Imus and his situation:
"It's a completely different scenario. [Rappers] are not talking about no collegiate basketball girls who have made it to the next level in education and sports. We're talking about ho's that's in the 'hood that ain't doing sh--, that's trying to get a n---a for his money. These are two separate things. First of all, we ain't no old-ass white men that sit up on MSNBC going hard on black girls. We are rappers that have these songs coming from our minds and our souls that are relevant to what we feel. I will not let them mutha----as say we in the same league as him."
Hell yeah.
I say, Snoop for President in ’08!

I'm SOOOO glad that this has happened. I hate that we all try to walk around as if racism and sexism aren't alive and well today. Imus just demonstrated the level ignorance that can exist within one race regarding another. I think he honestly thought that he was being "cute" and using acceptable "street" verbiage while showing his obvious bigot nature.
I'd rather be at open war, than be in a state of fake/false peace (whether it be with just one individual, or, an entire society of people).
The problems of the black community comes from rap music?! So the black community was doing great up until 1978 when rap hit the scene? Sweet, now I can tell my dad to stop his complaining about growing up in Mississppi and Tennessee in the 1960s, because nothing was wrong in the black community until 1978. Thanks stinray2118.
When the lights are off, there is no more color- just nookie!
Some people on here (stinray2118) are just not educated enough. Read and educate yourselves. Think before you speak. That is the bottom line here!

Yeah that's totally different. /sarcasm
Racism and sexism DO belong in entertainment because its damn entertaining. Jay Leno makes racist and sexist remarks in almost every monolouge as do lots of other comedians. Its entertaining.
No one understands and can communicate to the people of a particular ethnicity better than the person(s) of that race. Just because Tyrone is seemingly allowed to refer to Shaneeka as a "crazy black beeyotch" doesn't automatically make it acceptible for Ryan to do so. Keep in mind that black people are STILL recovering from slavery and the civil rights movement (which still continues today). No matter how black people deal with the way that they communicate to each other, white people have to be mindful of what they say and how they say it (regarding people of color), or else risk the ire of the community at large.
I kid.
Do you have a radio show or television program I should plan on boycotting?
You sir are one of my favorite posters, lol.
Actually, I had the hardest time trying to come up with the "white guy's" name. I mean, in reality, black men's names and white men's names have long since started to blur along the racial line. I personally prefer more contemporary type names. I hate when someone's name sounds like a mixture of "Shanghai" culture and the name of an Electronic's company, lol.

It's actually you're in that context, not your, and if you believe it, I guess you're a ho.
Clearly my boy Snoop was saying that Rutgers basketball players are educated and have made it to another level. This does NOT necessarily mean that every OTHER girl is a ho.
There are educated, respectable women, and there are hos, and there are all types of women in between, above and below. It's not just black and white. :)
Or is it?
I mean, seriously, is a white man calling black female athletes names more important than American troops dying in Iraq?
Black rappers put their own kind down, and get away with it without a scratch. So if it is a white guy that says something about a black person, he gets penalized to the fullest.
"Snoop_Dizzle" he can't go to jail for saying "Nappy headed hoes."
Seriously how can you call this a good quote. If wants to express his feelings, maybe he should talk complete English and not like 1st grader.
We were discussing something totally different then Carlos Mencia..
so... you mean to tell me you know someone who was a slave in this lifetime? really? from the US.... really? no black person in the states can honestly say they are recovering from slavery. If you want to play that card, then everyone from EVERY race should play that card because every race has been a slave at one point of history so be a little smarter. Imus only got in trouble for saying what he did (it was a JOKE remember) because he is white.
Bunch of hippocrites if you ask me.
