Gwen Ifill slurs “middle-aged white men”

“For all their grit, hard work and courage, the Rutgers girls got branded “nappy-headed ho’s” — a shockingly concise sexual and racial insult, tossed out in a volley of male camaraderie by a group of amused, middle-aged white men.”

The full article.

As a middle-aged white man who had nothing to do with Imus’ remarks, I am offended at her offensive reference to my age and skin color. Imus’ comments are a reflection of Imus-ness, not whiteness.

(Not to mention the obvious implication that these remarks would be acceptable if uttered by non-whites.)

Gwen, please call me with an apology (716-435-8918) or I may file an FCC complaint.
