iirc he wasn't , at first, then after there was an uproar about it, he went on al sharpton's radio show

My dad had a 5 minute argument with me today about how everyone got mad at Imus for saying they were tattooed, and not nappy headed hos.

I was dumbfounded. He was like "Why would they get mad at that?" and I was like "Why would they get mad at him saying they have tattoos!?"

---

Oh that was him that made that comment?

Imus was a scumbag racist

Accusations of defamatory speech[edit]
Imus and his crew repeatedly made controversial remarks through skits and character impersonations in what they considered a comical format which critics[Like whom?] labeled as racist, misogynist, and anti-Semitic xenophobia. He has also been accused of making offensive remarks off the air. Some examples include:

• Imus said in 1984 concerning Howard Stern: "yes, Howard's a slut too, Lloyd. Plus a Jew bastard, and should be castrated, put in an oven." Stern played a clip of this interview in the news section of his November 5, 2007 show.[86]
• Imus referred to black sports columnist Bill Rhoden as a "New York Times quota hire".[87]
• As reported by The New York Times columnist Bob Herbert,[88] in the course of a 1998 interview with Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes, Imus told a producer off-camera that McGuirk was hired to perform "n***** jokes."[citation needed]
• Robin Quivers claimed that he called her a "n*****" to her face when she worked with him at WNBC.[89] Both Howard Stern and Quivers have also claimed that he mumbled "N*****" at a black secretary named Brenda during their time at WNBC.[90]
• Imus repeatedly referred to Arabs as "ragheads".[91]
• The show's routines sometimes contained derogatory epithets for homosexuals, including "f******" and various terms describing homosexuality.[92]
• Imus referred to former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich as "disgusting" and a "fat repulsive pig."[93]

He looked for weird shit without putting anyone down who wasn't being shitty.

Imus just used straight racial slurs as a means to the end of being shockingly racist.

I'm not saying he doesn't deserve to be mocked, but maybe it's better to let his death be irrelevant
