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.
