His comment about Jones is that he gets arrested by the cops because he is black and that white players that do the same stuff don't get arrested. If you heard the whole conversation, it is very clear. I think you got his “racist” statement about Adam Jones all mixed up and backwards.

Another white guy apologizing for saying Imus' name. Give me a break. There is a heck of lot worse being said (from whites and blacks). Imus says stupid things and has some prejudices--like everyone has about someone or something. Funny how all of the musicians, members of the mainstream media, members of Congress, governors, and presidential candidates have no trouble appearing on his show (especially when they have a book to hawk). Get over yourself Wade, or do something else. Oh Lord! Another white guy apologizing for saying Imus’ name. Give me a break. There is a heck of lot worse being said (from whites and blacks).
