Imus should be fired.  I am an African American Woman, but let me first say this country has referred to African American men and women in a negative context for a very long time.  Its truly unfortunate, that our community has adopted this language and use it amongst ourselves.  Its time for CHANGE.  We should take the lead of Corporate Sponsors such as Staples and Proctor/Gamble.  African Americans should stop supporting the pocket books of those Rappers and Record Labels who choose to degrade our African American women for financial gain both physically and verbally.  There is no other racial group in this country that degrades themselves and is degraded by others as much as African Americans.  Haven't we suffered enough?  Its time to take a stand and for our community to take action and stop the suffering.
