Remember this guy named Don Imus? When that so-called scandal broke out it was like trying to find the chocolate chips in a dollar box ice cream to get a black person or hip-hop artist that would defend Imus’s right to make his little joke. On the comedy front, Patrice O’Neal mentioned on the Opie and Anthony Show that rappers were stupid not to defend him because they would be next on the list. “They’re coming after hip-hop next!”.. he screamed.

The line drawn from Imus to hip-hop was the question of where Imus got the idea and felt so comfortable calling a young black woman a ho in the first place. Which for rappers is hard to fend off considering the word is used like THE in some popular rap songs.

Here we are a year later, Imus has lost his job and guess what.. the focus is on *hip-hop*.

Not a back and forth in Al Sharpton’s radio show studio.

On September 25th, Congress is holding a hearing to look into the way African-American women are portrayed in hip-hop.

The hearing is tentatively titled: “From Imus to Industry: The Business of Stereotypes and Degradation.” Rep. Bobby Rush, chairman of the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection, told Variety.

Patrice should do a set before congress.

Hip-hop women are portrayed as ho's. You know why? Because they listen to hip-hop.

They are getting paid so let them do what ever the fuck they want.

Couldn't have said it better. This is something Oprah discusses... not Congress. CSPAN is going to be a day time talk show host within no time. Beeman, got an extra room? :action-sm

When it is using our tax dollars we should all give a shit. There are dozens of things Congress should be looking into before they even give this a thought.

A year? ...try 5 months, jackass. No need for that pesky accuracy.

QFT. Just look at the past few congressional hearings that were held, total waste of Congress's time. Some of them, that I can think of include the steriods in sports and obscenity in the media and entertaninment. And I have been saying for the past few months, that the hip hop artists needed to stick up for Imus. All they had to say was we don't agree with what he said, be we defend his right to say it.

This is such a waste of time, there is a first amendment, the governemnt debating this is pointless because they can't make any laws to regulate it.
