( Well, maybe Krauthammer on original thought, but that's it. )
Ho Ho Ho... how in the hell is that offensive to women unless they are Hos? What’s a hoe anyway? When I was a kid that was a tool you used to clear the weeds from the garden, matter of fact, it still is and I have two hanging on the ground.
A story. when I was a kid and moved back to Michigan (detroit) from Kentucky, my first day in school there, a black girl, a grade higher than me poked me in the chest and said, “Yo mama’s a hoe”.
I said, “What did you say?!”
She said, “Yo Mama’s a hoe!”
I said, “Oh, well, your papa’s a rake!”
She beat the crap out of me.
I learned a new word, got a black eye, got kicked out of school my first day for fighting, and I’m so bloody glad I finally moved out of Detroit for good.
