Easy n Dirty Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 With all this furor over what Imus said on his radio show last week, I gotta' ask - what does "nappy-headed" mean? Imus is in hot water for calling the Rutgers women's basketball team a bunch of "nappy-headed hos". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yo mama Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 (edited) It means unkept (most often) african american hair. Imagine what a black woman's hair might look like if she didn't do anything with it and slept on a park bench for two months. That'd be one nappy head. IMO, the comment wasn't deragoatory because of a "black" thing; because any hair can be "nappy." But Imus basically called those girls "dirty hos." Okay in rap lyrics. *Not* okay for sports commentators. Imus could have easily gotten his (legit) point across by saying they were some "tough looking young women out there." Instead, he took a casual, cheap shot; like he was drinkin' beers with his pals down at the local pub, or something.

tonorator Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 what is not reported widely is the extent of imus' comments. he also evoked a word that rhymes with wigaboo. that is not getting much press due to efforts to minimize this thing and keep imus on the air.

rattsass Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I don't appreciate the Imus comments. But I have heard his say much more vulgar things than that before. What irks me about this is that Sharpton and Jackson are calling for his head, having ignored the proliferation of this kind of language over the last few decades from within the black community, entertainment and otherwise. So it is ok for rap artists and black comedians, but not ok for a washed up old shock jock desperately trying to cling to fame? I smell hypocrisy.

Hugh 0ne Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Imus = Big Jackass. Sharpton = Big Jackass. Jackson = Big Jackass. However, Imus is the smart jackass, because his ratings will go sky high after this, or he'll get fired and go onto Satellite Radio and make even more money.

Perchoutofwater Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I didn't realize people still listened to Imus. The guy is a joke. I tend to agree with Yo Mama, I don't see "nappy head" having racial undertones. I can't tell you how many times I've told my kids to get in the shower and wash their nappy heads, and they are both blond hair, blue eyed, and lily white. I do have a problem with him calling them ho's. That was uncalled for, and has no place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
