They call it that. So what’s the problem? She should just say she was communicating in Ebonics.

I think this is one of those words that only African Americans are allowed to use.
Being unfamiliar with the term, the first encounter with it (personally) could have been from the BBC: nappy in British English is diaper. So basically the term is ‘diaper-head.’

Be careful freepers. Bill O’Crapbrain O’Reilly is watching and he might report on your posts tonight. He is trying to up his ratings on the backs of those who read Free Republic.
Ban the English language! Oh wait ¿no trabajará, si prohibimos inglés qué lengua nosotros utiliza?

I am sick of the whole diversity thing. Sick of it. People are different; that's OK. People should feel able to express themselves; that's OK too.
Imus was fired for the "ho" part, not the "nappy" part. Had he called them "nappy-headed beauties" he'd still be employed.
Oh, I see. That's how these incidents get started. Mee-ow!
I hope the school board doesn’t take away the teacher’s pension just to save a few pennies. That’d be niggardly!
“The Pinellas School Board on Tuesday approved a one-day suspension for a white teacher who referred to the hair of an African American girl as “nappy.””
I wonder, if two black teachers were walking down the hallway conversing and referring to one another as “nigga” wouldn’t they have to be suspended?
I would love to be her lawyer right about now.
That’s a descriptive term used by African-Americans. This is beyond ridiculous.
Yes, this is another one of those words that can be used by blacks amongst themselves, but is offensive when other races use it.
A quick Google comes up with these:

But only blacks can call their hair “nappy” and get away with it. Otherwise it’s offensive and grounds for a lawsuit or suspension. Logic has no place here.
Here is why “nappy” is offensive — according to a black victicrat (to use Larry Elder’s term) who, in typical fashion, needs to go back to the days of slavery and “300 years of painful racial history” in order to “explain” why the word is offensive in the 21st century:

Granted, Don Imus shouldn’t have called the basketball team’s players “nappy-headed ho’s.” Very bad decision on his part, and I’m not defending him. But I also find it a little funny that the author of this article (and tons of other talking heads and bloggers) got all up in arms about his saying “nappy,” but not much mention of “ho.”
Stevie Wonder needs diversity training!
Our culture is so delicate.
Ripe for conquest, really.
OH, NO!!!!
Anything but nappy.
Get the REVERENDS Jesse and Al to shakedown somebody, QUICK!!!
I recall vaguely the city official of Washington, DC who is a totally forced out of a position of responsibility because the African-American "community" was ignorant of the plain meaning of the English-language word, "niggardly." Now we see the same kangaroo court applied the word, "nappy."
Subjectivism is a deadly disease made more virolent by political correctness when it invests in favored groups the power arbitrarily to exercise mind control over groups (like whites) who are unfavored because they do not qualify as victims. Maybe we need a little bit of the fairness doctrine in real life.
