The Buzz is everywhere. Everybody is crying FouL! Every time I turn on sports radio, the national host, the local host, every sports update, all the rage is about Don Imus "racist and sexist remarks that are deplorable, despicable and abominable" comments. I don't necessarily disagree about the description of his ignorant comments. I think he's probably a racist and doesn't really grasp that reality. Somebody should speak up and tell him that is unacceptable. But the level of hype this has taken on is beyond reasonable. I get really sick and tired of Jesse Jackson and AL Sharpton zooming into town to jump into the mix of the latest controversy, with visions of Photo Ops dancing in their head.

So why is it o.k. that when I turn on Comedy Central, they are promoting the Mind of Mencia, showing highlights of a segment of this weeks show, "Are You Smarter Than A Whetbak"? Carlos Mencia says things that make my blood boil. Not because they offend me. He's only kidding. But I know 100% without a doubt, that if a white comedian said these things, they would virtually be strung up. All the usual crew would show up and scream racism. Carlos Mencia makes racial comments about whetbaks, blacks, whites, asians, egytians, jews, muslims, hindu, and all other ethnic groups on this planet. Throwing out insults about taxi drivers and 7-11 workers. Fast food workers and farmers. And everybody laughs. Don Imus comment was no different than what Mencia does every single week, half hearted insults to ethnic groups in an attempt to get a laugh. Where are the "Leaders" who pounce on others making similar comments?
