And in most places, Imus may have faded but there are still lots of reprecussions due to what he said 2 months ago. Many in the media are still discussing censorship and what contingencies have to be done in order for this to not occur again.

DL is responsible for himself.

exactly and that is why I am not mad at him for stating that just because SOMEBODY got mad for his statements that he feels he should have to apologize for it.

On the flip...this is why I got mad at Isiah for letting someone else push him to go to rehab just because he called somebody on the show a fag and he only went just cuz he thought it would save his career.

Now mind you I am not a big fan of him myself...but this was point I was trying to make earlier about saying you are sorry for something you knew was wrong vs saying sorry to placate

keep your apology if it is fake. and dont bother even if you mean it, and you dont plan on changing your ways . that is what apologizing is all about!

Based on morality and not sponsorship dollars, DL doesn't have to apologize and neither did Imus or Michael Richards.

Whether or not they apologize doesn't impact their idiot status.

And give DL an incentive to apologize and he'll be doing that. His career is BLAH right now so he's getting some attention.

I disagree on the attention part.....I say this because what he said was done a month ago... and nobody commented on it...the people in Ft Worth chose to take up his comment last weekend...and now he is in the news.

So again...DL getting this attention now isn't his doing....

Funny thing is...Damon Wayans said soemthing akin to this in his standup I saw 2 weeks ago....

Some comedians on TV One has done the same....and you know...I don't see the pitchforks and torches...what gives?
