What is your position on the Don Imus scandel? Do you feel that justified action was taken?

Yes, of course I do.

What was your position, Serena?

Of course my position was OUTRAGE!! However, I do agree with what you said. I would take Don Imus and Michael Richards anyday over Montell Williams, Taye Diggs, Kobe Bryant etc. What Don Imus said was DISGUSTING. But no more disgusting than the hatred that Black men "spew" about Black women on a daily basis "Publicly and Privately".

Here is the difference!! Don Imus has no responsibility towards the Black community. I would just "write him off" as a racist. But what do we say about Taye Diggs, Montell Williams, and B.E.T?

But Serena, I did not say that.

I said that about Michael Richards, who had one public racial outburst after being "taunted" by black hecklers during his stage routine (that I would take him over Montell Williams and BET).

But I feel totally different about Don Imus who has a long history of these racist rants.
