Don Imus Just Being Racially Sarcastic

Don Imus was back in the center of overly sensitive controversy when he made sarcastic remarks about a black athlete arrested recently.

On his radio show yesterday morning, Don Imus and his sportscaster were talking about how many times football player Adman "Pacman" Jones has been arrested. Don asked, "What color is he?" His sportscaster said he is African-American and Don responded, "Well, there you go. Now we know."

On his radio show this morning, he said he was just trying to "make a sarcastic point" when he asked yesterday, about arrest-happy NFL player Pacman Jones, "What color is he?" As Imus tried to explain, "What people should be outraged about is that they arrest blacks for no reason. I mean, there’s no reason to arrest this kid six times."

Way to back pedal Imus. Why are black athletes arrested so frequently?
