Happy Imus-versary!

By Al Sharpton

Bio & Blog

Last night the lovely Lady Vols of Tennessee defeated the upstart Stanford Cardinal squad to capture the women's NCAA national championship. Despite many awkward one-handed shots and play that appeared to be happening at 1/10th the speed of a normal hoops game, it was a magnanimous achievement.

The major accomplishment wasn't that the Lady Volunteers repeated their championship from a year ago, rather that no shock jock pointed out that the consistency of the losing team's hair was of a coarser, frizzier variety than the victors.

In case you didn't know, it's the one year Imus-versary today. Most of you are probably wondering how I celebrate/mourn the day after the women's collegiate national title game.

First I wake up and have a large breakfast. On an empty stomach, indignation can quickly turn into indigestion -- the number one enemy of a civil rights activists (other than riot dogs). Usually I eat 9 eggs, and 3 bowls of afroflakes. (Really they are just regular corn flakes that I draw over the label of.)

I spend the rest of the morning role-playing as Imus. I dress up in overalls, a cowboy hat and put one of those straw pieces in my mouth. Then I comb my pretty white hair (100 times -- not a stroke less), I cover my body in fresh lilac pedals and shave the hair off around my nipples.

After role-playing time, I spend the early afternoon calling every major TV media outlet to tell them I am available to speak about racism and pop culture in the post-PC age. I do this every day actually, but on Imus-versary there's a better chance they'll listen.

At night, I'll bake Imus cookies. They are black and white cookies, but instead of the vanilla and chocolate parts being two equally-sized halfs, the white is a large circle with a smaller concentric chocolate circle entrapped within -- the perfect scrumptious allegory for the black condition in America.

Those Imus cookies sound nice, Sharpton. But I'm afraid I still lean towards my blood chip cookies.

First off, you look great. I love your hair. And I think the most important thing is you stayed true to yourself. Good job!

For over 20 years Mr. (gratuitously used) Sharpton has produced insignificant benefit for humankind. A Rebel-rouser? 'Tawanna'?
I believe he has over estimated the value of his opinion or anything else he does. His comments may have been less than desirable but at least Imus has helped children in need directly.
And you 'Mr.' Sharpton? It always appear you just exploit a circumstance. Let's face it America. No one finds 'dirt' on 'Mr'
Sharpton because no one really cares about him or wants to waster their time. Now, let's all laugh together now............ROFLMAO
I await your reply......yeah, right!

I exploited your mother on your kitchen table.

You are the most prejudiced person I've ever seen. You basically are hateful.

Why is it that you have to stand up for the blacks and their oh-so-horrid treatment by whites? You're a 2 faced, money grubbing racist, Mr Sharpton...using the black race as a method of keeping yourself in the spotlight.

Several months ago, I sent you a story about 3 black males who broke into a home, during the daylight hours, encountered a little 12 yr old girl who was home ill, and shot her in the head, causing her death. I asked you to speak out against them, and then set about waiting for you to prove your equality garbage. Good thing I didnt hold my precious breath, because it never came to be. I sent you several others to choose from, if the 12 yr old wasn't horrid enough for ya...a black man burned the skin off of his white girlfriends white infant...and many more where that came from. You need to feel shame, Mr Sharpton...deep shame, for the way you use your own race. And they, as the saying goes, "if it happens once, shame on them...twice, shame on us".

The 12 yr old girl:
