CHICAGO (AP) - A panel discussion titled "Does Hip-Hop Hate Women?" drew more than 400 people Saturday — a sign that the furor that erupted over Don Imus' comments isn't over yet.
As Imus struggled in vain to keep his radio-host job earlier this month, he claimed that rappers routinely "defame and demean black women" and call them "worse names than I ever did." That led to some music-industry navel-gazing, but too little action, some panelists at the University of Chicago said.
Some criticized music executives failing to make a strong statement against violent and demeaning language in mainstream rap music when they met earlier this month in New York.
