They criticize Imus but won't publicly say that Ludacris should stop using the N-word because they don't want to interfere with his "art". They don't want to interrupt his "carnival atmosphere".
IMO, if you're willing to outright say a man should lose tens of millions of dollars and his platform to make life better for kids with cancer, then you should have the balls to say Ludacris shouldn't say worse things.
For some reason, we are being told by the millionaire pundits that this is not a free speech issue.
Yes it is.
If one does not want to hear a shock jock say, "nappy head hoe" or "black" or any other slur, then by all means, change the radio/tv station. In the principle of freedom, we do not head-off language at the pass. We do not censor unpopular ideas/language.
Language can be unpleasant. People can be demeaning. That's all part of a free society.
Wow. I just saw preview of my message and the software is censoring the word "black".
Let's see: shit, piss, fuck, girl, guy, guy, tits.
Wow. I had no idea of the level of censorship here.
