O-TAY!
O-TAY!
Pelosi’s treasonous behavior is barely covered in comparison to this story. Great timing...maybe Sharpton is in on it? Good diversion of the public. Rope...get them some additional rope!
worse thing Imus did in my opinion was try to smooth over Sharpton by saying he’s not one of those right wingers ... so, that implies it depends who is saying the comment on whether it is okay or not? That is just wrong.!
I don’t like Imus but he shouldn’t be fired for comment ... you hear worse stuff in muscs lyrics?!
Quite a conversation going on at work, the consensus?
Its a witch hunt by Sharpton and those who are weak kneed.
Not once has a black or any other nationality been fired for making ethnic slurs against whites. We are the ones called racist, yet they are the ones with
United Negro College Fund
NAACP
the list is long, but have a white version of any of the above and in the list, and were racist.
I don’t condone what Imus said at all, it was in bad taste, and untrue about the basketball players, but lets all take a deep breath here....
I hear 10 times worse than this on TV
Blacks tear themselves apart and create the very stereotypes they abhore...yet they blame whites...why?
Bill Cosby stated that Blacks can no longer blame whites for holding them down, they are doing it to themselves.
When Other ethnic entertainers in all genre are held to the same ethics that the sharptons of the world hold whites, then and only then will this be acceptable.
When sharpton was asked why he is trying to hang Imus when we are called every racial slur imaginable with impugnity by blacks, he would not answer, and for good reason. It shows clearly his one sided opinion of what is acceptable and what is not.
It is a double standard that exists sadly because the media and the community allows it to exist.
Accountability and fairness is a two way street, and it crosses ethnicity and cultures...
Grow up America, and as for the MSM, your pathetic.
A black pal told me today “You don’t EVER make fun of a black woman’s hair....”
Old Mr.: "She black as tar, nappy-headed, got legs like baseball bats, and I hear she got that nasty women's disease."
Old Mr.: "Boy, you goin' let this ol' nappy-headed girl cuss you out like that? You sittin' at the head of your own dinner table and actin' like a waiter."
Won't happen. Not enough people actually think with their minds, and the "culture" is now so crass, most won't even know about the Imus controversy.
This is the key point. Imus was actually trying to compliment the team by speaking to them in their own language. To him, it was akin to saying "tres bien" to a French athlete. As it turns out, the political advantages of lynching Imus far outweighed the benefits of sticking by a friend, so the left skewered him.
The academics claim that the language of Ebonics is a beautiful language, as legitimate as classic Greek or Latin. In Ebonics, "nappy-headed hoe" translates to "awesome chick" or "mensch". Apparently, you can learn the language at any University in the country, including Rutgers, but no one but black people dare speak it.
“Bernard McGuirk, Imus’ executive director, should be fired, even though it was McGuirk who started the on-air insult by referring to the Rutgers team as “hard-core hos.””
Finally, somebody mentions it.
Guess they are going to go after this guy next.
“When your hair is short and nappy,
Dixie Peach will make it happy.”
This was an advertisement for years in Ebony and other “negro” periodicals of the era. (40’s, 50’s and 60’s)
BS. Blacks don't own the word 'nappy'. 'Nap' is a common textile term. Nap is the 'fuzzy fibers on the surface of a fabric; produced by a finishing process called raising'.
Many decades ago in my first grade class there was a very talented girl who was black. She could play the guitar quite well in the first grade. She was the nicest kid in the class. But she was about the only black student in our school and this seemed to have an effect on her. I still remember her saying: “I have sick hair.”
I don't know about the 'ho' part...
;-)
Does that mean that the phrase "kinky haired ho's" is acceptable.
Can we get a ruling from the PCP (Politically Correct Police) on this?
I still don't really know what nappy means, or why it's bad. Why is referring to the texture of one's hair an insult anyway?
If I said my hair was straight, would the Gaystapo boycott me?
I spent a couple of days in Chicago last December during the NFL playoffs. The “Trash Talk” about the New Orleans Saints heard all over the local radio would have made a “nappy headed ho” blush!
