It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

"I'm from New York. I've been told that we're unconscionably rude." No, not unconscionably!

(How was that?)

Here's the lead on Chronicles, to whose print edition I've subscribed for ten years:

And from an article just found, currently at the top of the page:

To be fair to Imus, he did not say anything about blacks that blacks do not say about each other, constantly, in comedy routines and in their so-called music. It is amusing to hear the smug denunciations of NPR newsreaders who routinely laud the artistic genius of rap artists and movie directors. Imus’s offensive little rap about the Rutgers women was in fact lifted from Spike Lee. Why isn’t Spike Lee drummed out of Hollywood? For the same reason that pious liberals have shown no reluctance to appear as guests on Imus’s show. None of them were deterred by his years of vilifying women, Christians, homosexuals, and Jews.

But when a white guy repeats Spike Lee on the air, he becomes a sacrificial victim.
