Don Imus, the long-standing radio personality who hosted Imus in the Morning reportedly died on Friday (December 27). He was 79 years old. While many on social media are tributing him for his outlandish persona on the radio, others are remembering him for his racism. 

Imus hosted his daily morning show for nearly 50 years and often came under fire for comments he made, particularly in April of 2007 when he was fired from CBS Radio and MSNBC for describing the Rutgers women’s basketball team, the majority of whom were Black, as "rough girls," and "nappy-headed hoes." 

His executive producer also referred to the athletes as "hardcore hoes" and said that players from the Scarlett Nights and Tennessee Volunteers (who faced off in the Women’s NCAA Championship that year) looked like the "jigaboos versus the wannabes,” which was reference to Spike Lee’s School Daze. 

It’s something Twitter hasn’t forgotten and decided to remind everyone before Imus could be simply labeled a “pioneer of radio shock jock.”
