Karith Foster, a black comedian, joins the Don Imus radio show


Imus got suspended from his WABC radio show for using derogative, racist language:

On April 4, 2007, during a discussion about the NCAA Women's Basketball Championship, Imus characterized the Rutgers University women's basketball team players as "rough girls" commenting on their tattoos. His executive producer Bernard McGuirk responded in his familiar "urban-speak" vernacular by referring to them as "hardcore ho's". The "urban-speak" banter continued with Imus describing the girls as "nappy-headed hos" (wikipedia)

I'll bet she pissed sharpton off.  Put Al Sharpton up against Imus and lets see who wins the poll.  I bet on the IMUS side. 3-to-1

the first comment posted shows exactly how narrow minded people can be. No mentality to see that their no better than the person that casts the first stone. What's wrong with People this day n age? Cant take a joke? or would rather look for a way to try and make a buck? Goes to show ya to many people have nothing better to do with their time than find fault with others. As for Imus's comment about the team? Yes was in poor taste. But did he use the "N" word in refrence to that team?... NO !. he used "nappy". But yet the black community liberally calls one another the "N" word and puts down their own race... And Televison and broadcasting allows it. So it only shows that the People that strongly attacked Don Imus for his remarks live by a Double Standard. Think about it !... And for you mah friend that seems to think your so justified by YOUR comment of the "Crusty blankety blank...Clean YOUR act up and be part of the solution.. NOT part of the Problem with today's Society !

I thought she was TERRIBLE! Not funny at all. An embarrassment to the show.
