The things people do for attention. It appears that Damon Wayan decided to exploit the Don Imus situation to get a little attention. Well, he got my attention. As a matter of fact, I have more of a problem with Wayan’s remarks than Imus.
Last week as a guest on the morning show “The View,” Wayan commenting on Imus Wayan said, "Freedom of speech, what happened to that? What happened to expressing yourself? At least I know where he stands. And you know what? When he called them nappy-headed ho's, I went, 'Wow, he's right!'"
Now Wayan decided to make this statement after the young ladies already publicly stated that they were offended by the words. So even if he is disoriented enough to think that some bipolar person watching “The View” that morning thought it was funny to call the young ball player ho’s, he knew – as the world did – they did not find the remark funny. It really seems like they should be able to sue Wayan for slander or something.
At least Imus made a mistake. Wayan did this on purpose. I believe any Black man that gets on national TV and affirms the nasty comments made by Imus should be ignored for life. I didn’t think people should have called for the firing of Imus, but they need to boycott anything Damon Wayan is a part of. Yes, he should be held to a higher standard!
It's very sad to see someone as talented and successful as Wayan to stoop so low for attention.
