A. According to NAACP, Imus should be silenced for his racial blur towards African American women; more specifically towards the Rutgers women's basketball team.
2. According to Frank Rich, why should Imus not be silenced?
A. According to Frank Rich, Imus should not be silenced because since he has been in his show, Frank has seen that Imus makes fun of all people. The racial blur that he said was meant to be a joke, but somehow people took it the wring way.

Don Imus has shared what’s in his mind a lot of times. He makes fun of all people. He is a comedian born
Just recently, Don Imus was kicked off his own show for making a racist comment against African American women. He was known for making such comments, so why were people making a big deal out of this one? This is why I say Imus should not be censored completely.
The NAACP has taken this too far. Taking a man off his show just because he said something that many other people have said, that is not fair. We hear many of these comments in our daily lives through rap and all sorts of music. So why just go against this one man? Many comedians have said such comments. For example Carlos Mencia. In his show he has always said many racist jokes, even of his own, but people do not seem offended. So why did all of a sudden Don Imus’ comment have so many bad consequences? If it were up to me, I would not strip him of what he has; I would just have him do community service or something.
In conclusion, Don Imus should not have gotten the punishment he got for what he said. Later on he even apologized directly to the women that got offended (The Rutgers Basketball team) and they accepted the apology. Why is the NAACP so interested even after the apology? I say the NAACP has blown this out of proportion and they are the racists in this case.
I believe that Imus should not be silenced.
