There you go. Now we know…

Note - my apologies to the late great Nat King Cole…but this was the song that lept into my head when a certain Franklin e-mailed me with the line “guess for got ig’nant on the radio again!”

Shall we?

Rancid, that’s what you are
Rancid, though televised or on the radio
Like the stank of bigotry that clings to thee
How the thought of you does things to me (shudder)
Never before has someone been more

Rancid in every way
And forever more, that’s how you’ll stay
That’s why, asshole, its incredible
That someone so fucking unremarkable
Maintains listeners/advertisers/a fucking job despite being the living definition of rancidity!

Pause…consider…continue.

Okay, so that last line needs work, but fuck a duck…this bitch is operating on one cup of coffee and a double dose of aspirin.

Wince.

Shall we?

Don Imus is an asshole.
He’s also one of the 7 in 10 Americans who didn’t admit to race bias in a recent survey but was fucking bullshitting themselves.

What?

Oh c’mon, most people don’t admit to taking a piss in the shower but…yeah, mmmhmmm.

Anyhoo, Imus mouthing off about a football player being in legal trouble because he’s black and, after confirming that football player’s race, stating that “There you go. Now we know.”…ugh…in an obvious attempt to connect the man’s legal drama with his blackness (and no, that bullshit about Imus claiming he said that shit because he felt the football player was being picked on because he is black doesn’t now, didn’t yesterday and never will pass the stank test) was simply an inevitable verbal display of bigotry.

Imus has a problem with race that shall not be overcome simply by placing him in daily contact with people of color any more than Strom Thurmond’s racist ass was enlightened by the sexual exploitation of a black woman on staff at his home or the birth of their child.

But my problem isn’t with Don Imus…it is with the listeners who attract the advertisers who are then used by the radio station ownership group (Citadel Broadcasting Corporation) to justify employing Don Imus.

I can’t help but wonder if the listeners, particularly those who tuned in after the nappy headed hos drama, aren’t also members of the 7 in 10 Americans who suffer from race bias but don’t admit it and loudly declare themselves not bigots as if you can announce yourself innocent of an indictment brought on by thy own motherfucking actions/word/listening habits.

And this bitch is looking for a list of every advertiser who is running on WABC…every fucking one of them.

My working, hard working American bitchified self damn well isn’t budgeting myself through a gas crisis so that I can support the motherfuckers who support Don fucking Imus.

There you go.

Now we know…
