21. I don't disagree that the comments were racist. Not at all.
Will you tell me what specific "damage" you're talking about and what legal concessions Imus should make to those who were hurt by his comments?

Also, are there any other examples you can cite that should be included here? For instance, someone saying something that offends/hurts/damages someone in whatever way you're talking about, and what legal remedy you would go for?
