Freedom of speech RIP.

How is the comment.. "Nappy head hos" rascist?

Nappy refers to a kind of hair.. correct?
and head.. the skull correct..

and HO is...HO...

so where is the rascism?

somebody please explain?

*lol* yer kiddin' right?

it is makin fun of black women, it is racist. he said it on his radio station during the rutgers game (an all black team) and there is a big issue he got fired but someone will hire him

The team isn't all black. Saw an interview there were a couple of white players.

no I am not kidding..... iw ould have never though that that statement was racist.... Just like when I watched passion of christ.. I never saw anything negative towards the jews.. I thought it was a story about a GREAT jew named jesus that had INCREDIBLE compassion and love for all humanity ....

that's all I saw...




When I hear nappy head hos.. I do think of balck people cause of the word "nappy"... I have heard a bunch of my "black friends" from highschool days use that term.. but never thought it was racist. I thought it was a hair condition....

KInda like a "sun burn" is a skin condition for fair skinned people... oh well.. I 'm ignorant... I confess...

ON a side not. at the age of 16 I moved into an all black neighborhood in oakland.. I lived there for 4 years.. I never saw a white person EVER...within a mile of my house (Apartment) besides me..... I never experienced a single racsist event.. and I would hang on the corner with the brothers until late into the night cutting it up and laughing and drinking.. the cops never even came through the neighborhood... there was lots of crack and lots of prostitution.. but very little violence... I went away to college and when I returned 10 years later, the entire neighborhood was white.... WOW.. true story....

The more I turn this in my head.. I bet more than 50%of the people in the USA dont know what a "nappy head ho" is..

I asked my mom and dad what it was today... They had no idea what i was talking about.. It sounded like jibber jabber to them..

I asked another woman if Nappy was a term for black peoples hair.. and she.. "dude, your hair is nappy" BTW i am not black.. and my hair is pretty nappy right now.. LOL

so... what is the racist part of that statement..??

I am still confused...

sure, its not "nice" to call somebody a HO... but it is not racist (it is sexist) and it gets done 10,000,000,000 times a day.. why atatck imus?

Uhh ... well, as an older person ... I would consider the term "Nappy Headed Ho" to be a racist term, especially when directed to a group of black people. Kind of like the old racist joke: How do you keep black kids from jumping on the bed? You put Velcro on the celing. Cough, cough ...

Vi

ok....

The individuals and special interest groups that have cried foul for the defenseless basketball team,,,along with the emotional outcry by the hoop girls

If they would have been crying foul everytime Imus had slandered or degraded someone ,,,as he has in the last 20 years,,,i would give them some type of sympathy,,,,

since they are a one time crybabys ,,,i say No creditbility to them

They are two-faced headed hos,,,more than one can imagine,,,,

the real question i have here is who really wants to be offended? who needs to be offended?

there's a tiny little industry built on taking offense to things..just see if you can figure out who profits from it...
