Don Imus being Racist

Controversial radio personality Don Imus has found himself in the middle of another scandal involving potentially racist remarks after discussing the many arrests of suspended Dallas Cowboys star Adam “Pacman” Jones.

“What color is he?”

asked Imus, who was fired last year by CBS after his comments about the Rutgers women’s basketball team, to his co-host.

Upon learning that Pacman Jones is, in fact, African-American, Imus succinctly replied:

“Well, there you go. Now we know.”

After incurring much criticism over the comment, which many view as racist, Don Imus said on Tuesday that he was trying to,

“make a sarcastic point … What people should be outraged about is that they arrest blacks for no reason. I mean, there’s no reason to arrest this kid six times.”

Don Imus was fired by CBS last year after he referred to the Rutgers women’s basketball team as “nappy-headed hos.” Snoop Dogg was not happy.

He was retired after eight months. WABC, the station that broadcasts the show, said Don Imus will explain his comments.

Don Imus on Battling Cancer

Don was found with stage II prostate cancer which he announced on his show. When he was age 68 (2009), he found out he had cancer and has been battling it since then.

About cancer, he said-

“The day you find out is fine,”

he said.

“But the next morning when you get up, your knees are shaking. I didn’t think I could make it work.”

Still, he said he expects to make a full recovery.

“I don’t want to have a great arrogance about it, but I have great doctors. I’ll be fine. And if I’m not fine, it’s no big deal. The prognosis couldn’t be better.”

Update 2022

Don Imus is stable at present and has survived prostate cancer. Doctors had put his chances of survival at 87% which is relatively a good one.
