"When I start gettin p***y every day of my life it really didn't matter what the bitch look like". Are those words for the insensitive Don Imus? You would think so, but they are not. Those words are l
yrics from a song sang by rapper/actor Snoop Dog a.k.a Calvin Broadus Jr..The words in this song are just as dispicable as the words utterd by Mr. Imus, so why was Snoop Dogg not scrutenized in the media like Mr. Imus was? I will tell you why. It is a clear case of racial double standard. Snoop Dogg offered his hypocritical opinion on Mr. Imus earlier this week, stating: "We are not talking about no collegiate basketball girls who have made it to the next level of education..... We're talking about all the ho's in the hood that ain't doing sh*t, tryingto get a ni**a for his money".

Now i do not know how you would interpret that, but i understood it is that only women who attend college and further their education are excluded from being called ho's. Since Snoop Dogg is so adimitly hostile about these ho's that just want a nig*as money, than why is he constantly rapping about having sex with them? He must not be that mad!Not only is Snoop Dogg degrading ALL women in just about every lyric he has every wrote, he is also dehumanizing his wife, and disrespecting his family!How could Snoop Dogg publicly go on the record criticising Don Imus for the remarks that he said, when he is not man enough to respect his own wife?

Then their is Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson two men who I believe get off on creating racial havoc.Al Sharpton, the man that was cought on an FBI surveillance tape discussing a cocaine deal.A man who falsely accused without evidence New York prosecutor Steven Pagones of one of the men involved in rape case.Pagones was later awarded $345,000 in a defimation suit. Al Sharpton refused to apologize!

Jesse Jackson who was once reported as referring to Jew's as "hymies", always seems to be the front man and in the camera whenever an African American has been victimized.However, Jesse Jackson does not take into consideration the feelings of anyone other than his own race, that is racist.

My thoughts exactly when reading Snoop Dogg's comments. It is hard for people to understand why Imus using words from a Spike Lee movie ('though he and McGuirk quoted the wrong film) would be offensive coming from a "white" man's mouth. Black women's ancestry comes from slaves raped by white masters to increase their holdings (property). The males were unable to defend their women. That is a part of a black person's psyche and creates the double standard.
