Andy Rooney on Imus
Edited on Fri Nov-04-05 08:53 AM by mduffy31
Did he just go off the reservation a little bit just now talking about his objection to the term African American. I can see him now coming under a firestorm because he said that he didn't object to the term Negro. But he did make a great point. All of these companies that own the news stations and papers shouldn't be allowed to make money from the news. That way we could maybe get some unbiased news.

1. Back in the day...
When Rooney was a youngster, at the turn of the last century or so, negro was the preferred term. Times change.
