Thankfully, I know some lovely people, who have provided more thoughtful responses than my initial reaction to Imus and his insults. I am only revisiting this to say a heartfelt thank you yo each and everyone one who posted a comment. They were all so cherished !
But what was so important to me is that years ago, I would not have entered this dialog. I would have been hurt and angry, but silent. However, I was able to have a discourse with my family, which consists of Black and White people. And with you, my friends, who are Black and White people. And we are all the better for it.
Now let us light a an orange candle.
Ponder.
Knit.
Pray.

I'm here for ya girl, with the hand-holding and the as$-whupping. You name it. I'm glad that you're sharing.
Why any man would refer to any woman like Imus did is beyond me. It just shows great disrespect not only for those women he targeted, but all women, including his wife AND mother.
Nope, I completely agree with you.
You said everything so well.
I love you.
