After years of ignoring radio personality Don Imus's racial slurs, he was finally fired after picking on a double-whammy target: blacks and women -- while we have a black man and a woman running for president. His slur of a women's basketball team being "nappy-haired ho's" was too much, and he was fired. Now attention is turning toward racist and violent music lyrics. Yet the repercussions of the Imus fiasco are still playing out.
First, the Miss Black America contest has now announced there will only be 49 contestants in the Miss Black America Contest this year. Seems no one wants to wear a banner across the front of their swimsuit or their evening gown that says "IDAHO".
Next, some major changes are in the works at Disney.
Word on the street is that Disney will apologize for the Seven Dwarfs singing "Hi Ho, Hi Ho" in the movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Disney plans to recall all items associated with this movie. This includes books, dolls, and movies.
Later in the week, the Seven Dwarfs will appear on the Al Sharpton radio show to apologize and undergo a seven-hour grilling.
Jesse Jackson has not been contacted for comment on this. His office stated that he and his personal secretary were attending a meeting in the Bahamas. However, people at PUSH hinted that a large protest is being scheduled at Disney World.
Snow White could not be reached for comment -- it is rumored that she is in rehab "trying to overcome her whiteness."
