After the VERY YOUNG women's basketball team from Rutgers University, responded to his remarks...

PISCATAWAY, New Jersey (CNN) -- The captain of the Rutgers women's basketball team said Tuesday that she and her fellow players will meet with radio host Don Imus in the near future.

"We just hope to come to some type of understanding of what the remarks really entailed, his reasons why they were said," Essence Carson said at a news conference. "And we'd just like to express our great hurt, the sadness that he has brought to us."

The team broke its silence Tuesday on the controversy that has raged since Imus called the players "nappy-headed hos" last week.

Coach C. Vivian Stringer praised the accomplishments and character of the team members, five of whom are freshmen.

"Before you are valedictorians of their class, future doctors, musical prodigies, and yes, even Girl Scouts," she said. "They are young ladies of class, distinction, they are articulate, they are brilliant, they are gifted. They are God's representatives in every sense of the word."

Stringer described the underdog team's hard work to bounce back from defeats early in the season.

"Ultimately, they ended up playing for the national championship," she said. "No one believed in them but them."

I agree with a lot of the pundits, that Imus has apologized enough... No amount of apologizing will make up for what he said... But the ladies of the Scarlet Knight Basketball Program made Imus and his idiot producer look like the morons that they are...

For me, this whole thing just provides further evidence of the racism that still lies at the heart of our society.
