Now that I have answered your question. Perhaps you would be so kind as to tell me how this has anything to do with a radio shock jock making an ignorant and mean spirited remark to a group of student athletes that he knows nothing about?

I don't quite understand your answer. Are you saying that it's only the guy's or the girl's fault because they would not agree to getting married before they had the baby?

I don't think Imus made a mean spirited and/or ignorant remark about the Rutgers women's basketball team. I think Imus is capitulating. He is making a huge mistake. He is alienating the base that likes him because he is honest and he is maintaining the status quo that it is whitey's fault or "The Man's" whenever there is something said that blacks don't like.

Did you read the article by the fellow earlier in this thread where he said Imus was diverting attention away from the real issue and that is why blacks are one again dodging responsibility for problems in their culture?
