Don Imus stirs up further controversy after making another racist comment on radio show.

According to Forbes, radio personality Don Imus has stirred up a tremendous amount of controversy once again amongst the African-American community over another racist comment made on his show.

The topic of Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam Jones's legal problems arose earlier today, specifically over his various arrests in recent years. Warner Wolf, a sports announcer on Imus's show today, was asked by Imus, "What color is he?"

Wolf informed Imus that Jones is an African-American. Immediately, Imus responded with the shocking comment of, "There you go. Now we know." There has been no response as of yet to media questions from Imus, the WABC Radio Network that airs Imus's show, or Jones's attorney.

Imus's racist remark comes after he was fired from his last radio show in 2007 over remarks that he made about the Rutgers women's basketball team. The controversial radio personality referred to the females on the squad as, "Nappy headed hos."
