So after Nappy Headed Hoes, Don Imus got another show. While I would talk about the ADHD-like behavior of "outraged" people like the Rev. Al Sharpton (seeing as how they were outraged until he was fired, after which they dropped the issue and its relation to hip-hop), there are more important issues to address. Imus recently talked about Adam Jones and addressed race in his talk. Now the entire world is in uproar and again calling Imus racist. But unlike some people, I cannot co-sign it. If Imus is telling the truth (which I think he is), we cant possibly condemn the guy for actually trying to make an issue thats constantly researched and condemned: disparities in arrests and convictions for Blacks. So why is this such a big deal for America? No one has even addressed the turnaround of the Player formerly known as Pacman. Jones, who has began working with NFL Legend, Deion "Primetime" Sanders, and is actually turning his life around. Seems like DuBois was right when he said the problem of the twentieth, and I would argue America, is the problem of the color line. Your thoughts?

Turning his life around? What evidence of that have you seen? Immediately after being reinstated by Goodell, he was seen spending money in a strip club, an establishment Goodell warned him would only bring trouble upon him. True, we haven't heard anything particularly negative about him recently, but how much of that do you think comes from the fact that he is with the Dallas coybows, one of the most PR aware organizations in existence, and still working on a rookie contract that he'd eagerly like to rip-up for some new money? My guess is we haven't heard the last of pacman. He'll be the new T.O. in no time flat.
