THE DON IMUS THING!
I haven’t posted for awhile but this Don Imus thing is getting to me. Personally I don’t watch the show and have never seen him on TV. He made an incredibly distasteful and mean comment about the Rutgers women basketball team and now he has been fired. What I am disturbed about is the incredible lack of forgiveness and redemption for someone who has apologized over and over again. I am not excusing his action in any way but religious leaders as the Rev.’s Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton seem unable to grant forgivenss which I thought was a basic tennent of most religions. Threre is a comment that the young women who were the brunt of the slur have to live with this forever, etc. etc., - well, I don’t think so! They have shown themselves to be remarkably dignified and intelligently responsive to this situation and I am absolutely convinced they will move on with their lives and sports careers! Now if everyone else could please just move on.
