Liberals hate. Imus proves it. Recently, a national celebrity called young black women “nappy-headed hoes” and “jigaboo wannabes”. Those are words representing thoughts that are utterly foreign to most of us. About the same age as Imus, I cannot recall ever thinking such thoughts, much less saying such words.
The celebrity is known for thinking of himself as “sensitive” and “enlightened” and “progressive”. Yet, beneath the surface there must be a raging racism that indicates hate, not love, of neighbor.
Hurting people is wrong. Mr. Imus hurt a great many people. The people who make excuses for him must have the same thoughts, thoughts which, if they came out as words, would identify the similarity of their thinking with Imus’s.
As Scripture teaches, “Their crime is not that they are blind, but that they say they see.”
Mr. Imus is surrounded by sycophants and lackeys desperate to have lots of people see them on television. It has destroyed his capacity to root out hate and dislike from his mind, because any emotion he verbalizes is immediately praised by his loyal entourage. He is a victim of his own success.
