Don Imus Controversy

1. According to the NAACP, why should Imus be silenced?

According to the NAACP Imus should be sienced because he said a racial and sexist slur on his radio show. The NAACP believes that all discrimination should be stopped. They feel that if Imus is allowed to say racial and sexist slurs on the radio than that might be a gateway for others to say the same thing.

2. According to Frank Rich, why should Imus not be silenced?

Frank Rich believes that Imus shouldn't be silenced because there have been many other comedians which have also said racial and sexist slurs and they don't ever get punished for their actions. He also believes that Frank Rich doesn't just discriminate against African-Americans he discriminates against all races and sexes.
