If a black man does it on stage its called entertainment. Look at Carlos Mencias show. For the most part every skit he does could be called racist. But I dont see whites, latinos, asians, arabs and etc. protesting comedy central.
Its just my opinion but I think the majority of people in the world think emotionally and not logically.
Maybe the next time I hear a black comic make jokes about white people I'll jump on the bandwagon and scream racism too.

The next time somebody makes a joke about the Irish being drunks I'll wait until I sober up and sue their asses.
Seriously though, we could say something like that if we wanted to but if one of us were to say it at work our employers should be able to take any action they feel is appropriate. Imus could draw advertisers so his employers couldn't make money... no money no Imus. He's done a lot of good for charity, he's still well liked by a lot of people I think, and I'm sure he'll land on his feet.
