Shock jock Don Imus sparked new controversy with another asinine remark, this time aimed at a male Black athlete.
While discussing NFL player Adam “Pacman” Jones, Imus and partner Warner Wolf presented the following exchange:
Wolf: “Defensive back Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones, recently signed by the Cowboys. Here’s a guy suspended all of 2007 following a shooting in a Vegas night club.”
Imus: “Well, stuff happens. You’re in a night club, for God’s sake. What do you think’s gonna happen in a night club? People are drinking and doing drugs, there are women there, and people have guns. So, there, go ahead.”
Wolf: “He’s also been arrested six times since being drafted by Tennessee in 2005.”
Imus: “What color is he?”
Wolf: “He’s African-American.”
Imus: “Well, there you go. Now we know.”
For anyone who questioned whether or not Imus is a racist, well, there you go. Now we know.

imus'll blame jay-z or some rap song for this.
or maybe the influence of chris rock/dave chappelle...
or maybe BET's to blame.
then again, Al Sharpton's alsways good for a distraction.
