Duke students released in rape case. Don Imus charged.
April 12th, 2007
Crystal Gale Mangum, who falsely accused three Duke University students of rape and kidnapping, has identified the actual rapist and kidnapper, radio personality Don Imus.
Today, North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper announced, “We were going to charge Ms. Mangum with making false statements, but we feel she has redeemed herself sufficiently by putting the finger on the actual criminal.”
Although, Mr. Imus is expected to apologize to Ms. Mangum, Al Sharpton is refusing to accept the apology. “I would rather hear the moppy-headed ofay apologize to America for the bitter racial divide he has created over his five decades in broadcasting. And if you don’t believe me, ask the presidents of the broadcasting networks who got rich off Imus — everyone of which wishes he had fired him long ago. Before he ruined all our hopes for equality.”
Cooler heads are asking the public to compare Don Imus’s stupid “nappy-headed ho’s” remark with the sexist and racist remarks compiled by Media Matters for America. The list includes Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck, and the especially repellent Neil Boortz and Michael Savage. All of these men are still employed and enjoying occasional visits to the White House.

On Nappy-Headed Don Imus and Straight-Haired Don Ho’s Death.
Nappy-headed Don Imus and straight-haired Don Ho (no relation) were drawn inexplicably and inextricably together today. As one passed from the broadcast scene and one passed from the scene in general, one could not help but marvel at their different effects on society. One Don made fun of racial stereotypes and received millions of dollars for it, one became an increasingly revered(?) racial stereotype and recieved millions of dollars for it. I’d personally like to believe that, perhaps in his last moments of consciousness, or perhaps in a fog of delirium and confusion, Don Ho wondered out loud, “why the hell did Don Imus call me nappy-headed?” Hawaiians have hair straighter than Mitt Romney’s!
