According to the NAACP, why should Imus be silenced?
Because he needs to realize that what he did was wrong. Also to begin a movment on this kind of issue.
According to Frank Rich, why should Imus not be silenced?
Because the whole "making racist joke" has been around for a while. I guess hes saying that it would be hypocritical if the media only put all the negative attention on him because hes not the only one who has said a racial joke on live air
Write a paragraph where you state your opinion on the issue. It should include some evidence from the reading, but it does not have to follow each viewpoint to the letter. You can also include ideas and evidence from other sources or individuals.
I personally think that it was wrong for Don Imus to say what he said. It was very offensive and sexist comment that he said. Although, I think that the media is making a really big deal about the whole situation then it should be. I say this because I see some offensive and racial jokes being said on radio and the television. It seems like this certain issue is just being noticed now.
Don Imus was just a regular comedy talk show host until he made one offensive joke. Maybe it wasn’t just one but if it was such a big deal they would have made a big issue about it before. Instead they wait until now. So I think that they should just take him off of the radio show and just leave him alone.
