American corporations are dominated, and controlled by white Americans-not African Americans or other minority groups. This includes the corporate news medias, radio broadcasting, and entertainment. The majority of whites in America are inherently racist, and feel that it is their right to express their racial ignorances against African Americans, and other minority groups-regardless if it is warranted or not. The white corporate news medias use the news as a shield to blatantly spew their ignorant and hostile racisms towards African Americans specifically, and other minority groups, and radio, television, music, and theater entertainment does the same. The United States judicial system is no exception, either.
Racism is deeply rooted in America, and has been since America's creation. White Americans have been made to believe by these predominately white corporations, and the predominately white government that their white skin makes them superior to African Americans and other minority groups-although genetics have already made this racist claim erroneous! A large portion of television, radio, and musical entertainment controlled by whites in America has been deliberately created for, concentrated on, and targetted towards promotion of white racism towards African Americans, and the degradation of African Americans and other minority groups. White racist males like Don Imus think that they do not have to be held accountable for their blatant, and deliberate racisms towards African Americans specifically, because they are white! All day, and all night in America, approximately 99 percent of television, radio, and news programming is about white people either degrading African Americans, minorities, or women-or all these programs are about trying to show whites in a positive light superior to African Americans, and minorities. And, those whites who are racist and ignorant-like Don Imus, and the corporate radio/television medias he worked for, listen to their white racist collegues who are spewing their racist ignorances towards African Americans, and minorities and not being held accountable for doing so, therefore feel it is o.k. to do the same themselves. Then they all try to use lame excuses for their behavior (like, "oh, it was just a joke, and rap music does it too, or this is what I was being paid to do all along"), and use their jobs as a klan shield to hide behind, and spew their unwarranted racisms, and promote more racisms and hostilities towards African Americans specifically, and other minority groups.
And, yes, as I have said all along-even before the Imus incident, rap music needs to clean up their act, too. However, even with rap music, over 70 percent of the consumers who buy derogatory, racist, and debasing rap music are whites-not blacks, or minorities. And, the majority of the music corporations that control the creation and production of rap music are white Americans, too. They use rap music as a viable means to promote racism, degrading and debasing treatment towards African Americans by mainstream white youths. These corporations also use African Americans to do their dirty biddings, so that they don't have to be held accountable themselves-although they control the creation, production, and social direction of the majority of rap music, and they're also making the majority of the money from the sales of this negative style of rap music. These white racist music corporations seldom use whites to spew their ignorances, nor do they degrade, debase, or show their own white race in a negative, and demeaning light. Yet, when African Americans start complaining about how we are negatively shown in rap music, these white corporate owners will shove the black rapper to the forfront of the controvercy to take the brunt of the blame for the negative music, while hiding in the background themselves, and trying to avoid being implicated themselves.
It's time for African American Civil Rights leaders to stand up against all this white racist corporate ignorance. If the American judicial system refuses to protect African Americans civil and human rights, then African Americans and Civil Rights leaders must come together, and go straight to the United Nations Human Rights, and file a formal complaint against the United States, Don Imus, and anyone else who seems to think it is their God given right to promote racism towards African Americans and other minority groups for no justifiable reason, except to continue to oppress and degrade us so that they can continue to unjustly try to thrive at everyone elses expense! Those white Americans who are racists are not our friends, but our enemies!

With the Don Imus racist incident, a human rights violation of The United Nations INTERNATIONAL COVENANT ON CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS, Part III, Articles 20 and 26 can be filed with the United Nations. Article 20 states, " Any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law." And, article 26 states, "All persons are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to the equal protection of the law. In this respect, the law shall prohibit any discrimination and guarantee to all persons equal and effective protection against discrimination on any ground such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status."
If Don Imus wasn't being ignorant and racist, then he would have said something negative about his own white race-instead of African Americans-which he's racistly and arrogantly done on too many occasions to count. His hatred and racism towards us have been unwarranted, and invalid! African Americans need to start suing all these ignorant, and racist white corporations who have deliberately targetted us for their racist rants, degradations, debasements, and explotations to benefit themselves. Don Imus has the right to be "controversial"-but not at the expense of African Americans or other races outside of his own race-because then he's just being an ignorant racist!
