Wanting To Rape A Black Women=30 Days. Dumb Racial Remark=YOU'RE FIRED!

I have waited to see what would happen to horrible "shock jocks" Opie and Anthony over remarks about raping Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, First Lady Laura Bush and Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain. The verdict is in and why am I not surprised?
Opie and Anthony got, essentially, a pass from XM Satellite Radio as they were suspended for 30 days. Don Imus makes a racially insensitive comment and he got the door.
Does any one see the double standard?
The Imus remarks were directed to the Rutgers women's basketball team. We have been told that these are young women and that some of them have commented because Mr. Imus referred to them as "Nappy-headed Hos" that they are scarred for life.
So, shouldn't Miss Rice be scarred for life when a supposedly homeless man describes in great detail about forcing himself on her and raping her, one of the most violent crimes imaginable? How about Mrs. Bush? How about Queen Elizabeth?
Well, you see, most of the Rutgers women's basketball team is black and they had an advocate in the "Reverend" Al Sharpton when Mr. Imus blathered his dopey comments. And they played up the victim card to the hilt.
On the other hand, Miss. Rice, Mrs. Bush, and Queen Elizabeth do not have the "Reverend" Sharpton as an advocate and they are not playing the victim card. Oh, and only Miss Rice is black. But you see, she is not the right kind of black. She is a conservative and a Republican. That does not fit into the black-as-a-victim template.
So, where is the "Reverend" Sharpton? Or the "Reverend" Jesse Jackson? How about making Opie and Anthony bow down to the feet of the "Reverend" Sharpton and apologize profusely on his radio show?
They are no where to be found for again, they will not stand up for a successful, articulate, conservative black woman. The reality is, a bunch of college students, who are adults, are not scarred for life by the dopey Imus remarks. Some may even get a contract and play in the WNBA. Oh, and if you think that the Imus remarks were bad, go to a college basketball game sometime and listen to the fans in the stands. But, having a couple of horrible human beings eck on a "homeless" man's sick rape fantasy, one would think that the authorities would be looking into this for he was advocating a crime, and Opie and Anthony were laughing their heads off.
All Opie and Anthony get is a 30 day vacation. Don Imus is looking for a job. Tell me, where is the real justice in this?
