Imus Gets Fired For His “Nappy-Headed Hos” Comments
Don Imus has been ripped in the public square this week for his recent comments that the Rurgers women’s basketball team were a bunch of “nappy headed hos”. Despite his apologies, black leaders like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson were calling for him to be fired.
It appears they have gotten their wish. CBS announced Thursday that Imus has been fired from their network, effective immediately. The network had already suspended him for two weeks, but he will not return.
It seems likely that he will follow his fellow shock-jock in making the move to satellite radio, where you can say basically whatever you want. Below is a video of the broadcast where Imus made the controversial comments.
