DL Hughley and Don Imus: Double Standard or Freedom of Speech?
Comedian DL Hughley has received some flak about comments made on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Those comments revived the Don Imus 'nappy-headed hos' controversy but to a much lesser extent than the outrage Imus generated.
Thus far, the only major show of dissatisfaction with Hughley's comments was in Texas where protests led to the cancellation of Hughley's performance. Check out the clip below. Did Hughley get a pass or are some Blacks off point on this one?

When i first her that Imus made the comment b/c i listen to talk radio and they were the first to break it... the 2live stews i was thinking to myself a few of them are ugly ass all hell. but there is a double standard in this world. we all know this i don't understand why other poeple ignore it
D.L. Just showed the self-hate many of our people are plagued with...
I mean how could he possibly say what he said with his au'natural do' and not so hot looks himself?
Both are in the wrong. The sources may be different but the intent is the same.
