“Thanks for the explanation. Somehow, most news outlets failed to explain the comment, and it did seem absurdly mean without hearing about the movie reference.”
Whether the news outlets explained the movie reference or not, there was no reason for Imus’ sidekick to make that comparison. Also, Imus still refered to these young women as nappy-headed hos. That’s just plain mean-spirited and inappropriate. This man has lost his mind, if he ever had one to begin with.

Yes, I agree it’s a bad comment. But at least for me the reference to the movie brought a little more explanation instead of just being totally off-the-wall comments.
Though like you I also think the comments are mean-spirited, is this a question of free speech?
