Hughley in a Sun blog. This is the only mainstream media mention of Hughley's insulting the Rutgers team that I have found on-line. I guess Imus got the outrage.<BR/><BR/>http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/ordine/blog/2007/05/post_4.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790832884400143603.post-83645391426841080522007-05-05T05:33:00.000-05:002007-05-05T05:33:00.000-05:00I didn't see the Tonight Show in question, but I f...I didn't see the Tonight Show in question, but I find it MORE offensive than Imus' idiocy. His race doesn't make it more defendable, it makes it all the more insulting. He really should know better.<BR/>Does the man have a daughter? He surely has a mother. Would he find the same "humor" aimed at them to be funny?<BR/>As long as "he's one of us" is allowed to defend such disgusting remarks, none of this will change. There is no excuse for that kind of trash talk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790832884400143603.post-8817406526071941922007-05-04T07:16:00.000-05:002007-05-04T07:16:00.000-05:00Black male comedian D.L.

He quoted Don Imus' remarks, denied the Rutgers' players were "hos," but then said they were the ugliest women he'd ever seen. Jay Leno laughed.<BR/><BR/>Hughley's "humor" is being defended by some on Rebkell's WCBB board as acceptable, since he (like the majority of the Scarlet Knights) is African-American. (I think you have to be logged in to watch the YouTube video.)<BR/><BR/>Why, I ask, would race give Hughley the right to insult those young women?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790832884400143603.post-83550708362768832442007-04-28T07:57:00.000-05:002007-04-28T07:57:00.000-05:00"Maybe our tolerance for all kinds of public mean-..."Maybe our tolerance for all kinds of public mean-spirited putdowns whether racist, sexist or homophobic has run out. What do you think?"<BR/><BR/>I think that PUBLIC expression of bigotry is mostly unacceptable these days. Unfortunately, PRIVATE espressions of prejudice abound. I'm defining "private" to include the Internet.<BR/><BR/>Many who use screen names ranted angrily in favor of Imus' free speech rights. Would they have done so if they had to post with their real names? I wonder.<BR/><BR/>The same goes for those who, in various Web women's basketball forums, insinuate that (for example) Carol Ross retired from Ole Miss to try to hide a personal scandal. When asked for the story and its source? The rumor's poster disappears (or creates a new identity)!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
