Rutgers Coach Parlays Don Imus Flap Into Book Deal

Rutgers women's basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer, in the public eye for much of the last two weeks after Don Imus called her players "nappy-headed hos," has signed a contract to write her autobiography.
"It's about an incredible woman with an extraordinary life story," said Tina Constable, executive vice president for publicity at Crown, who declined to say how much the company will pay Stringer. "She's a pioneer, a legend, an icon and a role model."
Although the Imus incident is obviously going to be the main selling point for the book, it should be noted that Stringer's life story was interesting even before Imus insulted her team. She has 777 coaching wins, she is the only women's coach to have taken three teams to the Final Four, she has a daughter who was paralyzed by spinal meningitis, she has a son who was kicked off the North Carolina State football team for his role in a fight that led to someone being shot and killed....
Please offend me. I want a book deal. I can be easily offended by simple remarks like honkee, dough boy, white boy can't jump, four eyes, metrosexual, etc...
I will take great offense and will be giving Al Sharton and Jesse Jackson a call as soon as you violate me and make living even slightly uncomfortable.

To her credit, Rutgers University women's basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer showed a lot of class in addressing Imus' disparaging remarks about her players. "These young ladies before you are valedictorians, future doctors, musical prodigies," Stringer said during a nationally televised press conference a day after the controversial remarks were made.
"While they worked hard in the classroom and accomplished so much and used their gifts and talents, you know, to bring the smiles and the pride within this state in so many people, we had to experience racist and sexist remarks that are deplorable, despicable, abominable and unconscionable. It hurts me," she added.

Black people with money can afford to hire white slaves to ghost write for them though!

So soon after Grandpa cadaver made those comments, a lawyer or business person contacted this Coach and started guiding her through the process of being a Victim for monetary gains....
Amazing.
Wonder if there will be a chapter regarding monetary damages owed to her cause her great, great, great, great aunt was a slave...
OJ was innocent BTW.

I don't see how the black folks always get to play the second-class citizen race card, yet MY people have been supressed and treated like second class citizens even as recent as 60 years ago!
If you don't believe me, just watch this movie and you'll see it's all true, because movies never exagerate and stuff. I think the Canadian government should pay me restitution. Yeah.

Nope. Just believe women have a certain place in society and when they start to misbehave, proper actions need to be taken.
Off to cook dinner for the wife before she gets home! Toodles!

Quebecers make hockey players, Nova Scotians make beer, and the life of a Canadian is born. Lets burn the rest of the country down, they're just taking up space.
Donate. One day it could be your family.

Elderon,
You sound surprised. Believe it or not most n*ggers you come across will not work. They expect handouts and people like Jophed and Smashed are more than willing to give it to them.

*You* sure do come across an exorbitantly large amount of ridiculous stereotypes.
I, personally, have actually met black people and they do in fact work.

While we're making disparaging comments, she looks to have been woken up by a Mack truck to the face! A slightly better-dressed cadaver, albeit. (I do admire Don's penchant for denim)

I concur. They just pumped my gas for me, made me a nice sandwich, while doing a wonderful job of shining my leather loafers. Now if I could just find me a nappy ho to pull a Thomas Jefferson on, then my day would be complete and time for a nap.
A nappy nap?

Wait...you're French-Canadian? Ew. That explains a lot. I never understood why we gave you people rights...much less your own province. Remind me never to find you funny again.
go write a book :)
