....Compare that to 1988 when Jimmy “the Greek” Snyder (lower picture) was fired from CBS for voicing his opinion that negro slaves were bred for strength, explaining their superior athletic ability. His exact comment was:
The slave owner would breed this big Black with this big Black woman so he could have a big Black kid.
His statement was probably true in many instances during slavery in the pre-Civil War south. However, CBS fired him as a result of intense pressure from the NAACP and prominent black leaders who said the Snyder comment set the black movement back 100 years.
One other racial observation by Jimmy the Greek was his comment that “blacks are diluting their race.” This comment was based on the fact that well-educated blacks have small families while poorly educated blacks have large families. Consequently, the percent of upper-class blacks dwindle with each generation
The irony is that Imus got a two-week suspension for a racial slur while the Greek was fired for telling the truth. His comments were insensitive and hurtful but what he said was true.
