The Protest Did The Most Damage







Most Black people would have never even knew who the Rutgers women's basketball team was, if it wasn't for the publicity of this protest. I personally didn't watch the women's basketball championship. So I didn't have an opinion about these young ladies either way. After hearing all the hoopla surrounding what Don Imus said. For those who actually listened to the comments. He was only responding to what his executive producer Bernard McGuirk said. His big mistake was saying what was on his mind. Probably the same thing some Black men were thinking as they watched the game too.

This may have been more of a victory for feminist groups than it was for Blacks. Though Blacks have clearly been the most outspoken on this issue. What have Blacks really gained from this? I find it funny how they had a pretty White girl talking about how this has affected her life. Trying to give this movement a different look. The comment in question wasn't about her anyway. Is that why all the sponsors pulled their support?I don't think the young ladies know they're being used to further others selfish causes.

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are among the Blacks to benefit most from all this. It has given them lots of camera time, and a long awaited victory. This thing was so big they shared in the bounty. Which is something I haven't seen in a while. They seldom if ever work on the same project. Al on the radio and T.V. and Jesse marching. Unfortunately I think this may give them unwarranted influence among Blacks. They were successful though they didn't really accomplish anything. Had it not panned out, they would've just walked away. Al Sharpton has yet to apologize for his biggest blunder to date. I might add the one that brought him to national recognition.He has a long list of apologies in order for the Tawanna Brawley incident. On a more recent tip, Jesse Jackson was asked about his comments concerning the Duke Lacrosse players. He said "he didn't feel the need to address that". Years from now the Rutgers womens basketball team will find that this wasn't really a win either.

Did you guys see the actual game footage? I did, and it would have really been a uproar had he said what he really thought.If he was thinking like I was. He was probably thinking these are some hard looking women. I woulda called them some "Gangsta Bitches".

6:53 - Are you serious? I can not believe that you would considered these women B!tches. Your statement actually is a statment of an unintelligent person. First of all, you do not know any of these ladies. Is it fair for me to judge or put a label on you when I know absolutely nothing about you? Not that you care what I think about you but it is not right for me to judge or label you because of the way you look. I know you have heard the old saying that you can never judge a book by its cover. Therefore, for you to even think about calling women some B!@ches it's so wrong. Do you even know what a B!@tch is? According to Webster, B!@tch is a female dog! Now thinking logically did you see a floor full of female dogs on the court. NO YOU DIDN'T! Not one of these ladies had four legs and I think you think a little harder before you try to put a label on someone!

Just like Imus I didn't mean anything by it. It was just a joke to me.
