And then there’s this, also from the Wall Street Journal:
Imus and Obama’s Daughters
This column has no brief for Don Imus, the liberal radio shock-jock who lost his gig yesterday after calling members of the Rutgers University women’s basketball team “nappy-headed hos.” CBS (and NBC, which simulcast the Imus show on one of its little-watched cable channels) were perfectly within their rights to defenestrate Imus for his gross remark. But by waiting a week to do so, they showed themselves to be craven rather than prudent, and they did more to promote bigotry than to combat it.
It’s clear that the networks fired Imus not because what he said was unacceptable but because the controversy it stirred up was not going to go away. This means that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson–two men whose bigotry has done a thousandfold more harm than Imus’s–are able to declare victory and pose as moral arbiters.
Oh well, at least we can have the audacity to hope Barack Obama will be a new kind of “black leader.” Or can we? From yesterday’s New York Times:
Senator Barack Obama, the Illinois Democrat who is running for president, called on MSNBC and CBS Radio to disassociate themselves from Mr. Imus, and said that he would never go on the show again. He said he had appeared once, more than two years ago.
“He didn’t just cross the line,” Mr. Obama said in an interview with ABC News. “He fed into some of the worst stereotypes that my two young daughters are having to deal with today in America.”
So according to Obama, the problem with what Imus said wasn’t that it was shocking but that it was so ordinary. Imus gave voice to stereotypes so prevalent that Obama’s daughters “are having to deal with [them] today in America.”
In what segment of American culture would one be most likely to encounter such stereotypes? We’d venture to say the answer is rap music, also known as hip hop. There’s one rap band that actually calls itself Nappy Roots. And of course references to women as “hos” are commonplace in rap lyrics, such as this one by Christopher Bridges, who uses the stage name “Ludacris”:
Ho (Ho)
You’z a Ho, (Ho)
You’z a Ho, I said that you’z a Ho (Ho)
You’z a Ho, (Ho)
You’z a Ho, (Ho)
You’z a Ho, I said that you’z a Ho (Ho)
You doing Ho activities
With Ho tendencies
Hos are your friends,
Hos are your enemies
At this point it gets too vulgar for this columnist to feel comfortable quoting.
Anyway, let’s salute Barack Obama for taking a stand for decency, for protecting his two young daughters from invidiously racist and misogynistic stereotypes.
On second thought, let’s not. It turns out that Obama’s outrage with Imus is highly selective (dare we say opportunistic?). Blogger Joshua Claybourn notes a Sept. 15, 2006, Associated Press dispatch from Louisville, Ky.:
Obama made a pitch for Democrats running for local government and for Congress at a rally that drew a few thousand party faithful to a minor league baseball stadium in downtown Louisville…
Before Obama’s speech, the crowd was warmed up by a performance by Nappy Roots, a popular hip-hop group.
All right, maybe this is nothing. It’s not as if Obama himself invited Nappy Roots to play at the rally, and anyway “hos” is a lot more obnoxious than “nappy.” But here’s another Associated Press dispatch, from Nov. 30, 2006:
The stars were aligned in Chicago Wednesday, and they were there to talk about lighting the way for the nation’s youth.
U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, contemplating a run for president, met privately with rapper Ludacris to talk about young people.
“We talked about empowering the youth,” said the artist, whose real name is Chris Bridges…
The gathering at Obama’s downtown Chicago office was a meeting of two star powers: Obama, who enjoys rock star-like status on the political scene, and Ludacris, who has garnered acclaim for his music and acting…
Bridges said meeting Obama, known for his warm personal style, was like meeting with a relative.
If Obama’s two young daughters are having to deal with Imus-like invidious stereotypes, then, it would seem a major reason is their father’s friends.
The problem the Obama girls face in America today isn’t just prejudice. It’s cynicism.

So I'm confused, was it the Clintons who brought Imus down, or was it the Black power boys? Or a combination thereof?
