Imus owes more than apologies
Apologies are growing old, even expressing “profound regret” means very little.
The racist and insensitive comments by radio host Don Imus were definitely uncalled for.
Where did the thought emerge that it was OK to call the Rutgers University basketball team “nappy-headed hos”?
Racism is alive and well, whether or not Imus considers himself to be racist.
