Well, BSAMS, I acknowledged the validity of your point of view, but also counter-argued that while "as a society we have become accustomed to believing if something offends us destroy it", our society is very selective and arbitrary in what speech it allows, and what speech it destroys.
I argued for a less partisan and more universal standard. If hate speech by Imus or other whites is unacceptable, then similar speech by blacks using black racial slurs should not be allowed either. Otherwise, why condemn any slurs, by Imus or anyone else.
