I expected the haters to come out. It's cool though. Kobe had plenty of them because he was definitely arrogant.
The Don Imus situation is different. And yes, a lot of folks said they were glad when he died. He was basically an undercover racist to many people but at the same time he was loved by many people as well and lived a full life. Even with that being known it still wouldn't prompt me to say some foul ass shit like "Good Riddance" about his death! That's just fucked up!

What about Kobe using a homophobic slur on the court? It can be argued that a persons true character comes out when they are least able to control their emotions. That is what Kobe did yet he got a pass.
Imus scripted many of his remarks. They were scripted in order to point out hypocrisy in many cases. It was planned. He was never accused of discriminating in his charities. Wounded soldiers didn't have a color neither did sick kids.
The fact that you chimed in here to denounce a "good riddance" but didn't chime in on someone wishing a man rots in hell speaks volumes, don't you think?
