I see somebody doesn't know the history of the whites trying to colonize and civilize every group of people that they deemed savages....but I digress.
Nappyheaded was never a term of endearment it was invented and used to degrade blacks. Africans were not aware there was anything wrong with their hair texture until they were introuduced to the concept by the Europeans.....we were proud of our hair texture which is why we braided it, locked it. etc......then all of a sudden when the white man called us nappy headed and told us that the texture is not conducive to a civilized society we invented ways to make our hair straight to assimilate. Now the term nappyhead may not carry as much weight as the n-word but it's just as damaging to the self esteem of blacks. Otherwise we wouldn't go to the extremes that we do to have straight hair like white people....I'm excluding those who have naturally straight hair or "good" hair.
I don't remember the slave master smiling while calling the black women nappy headed or pick a ninnies....Unless I'm wrong.
The point everyone is missing is this man insulted young black students...not a group of video vixens or a group of prostitutes. These are young women who are pursuing a higher education who happen to be athletes...so is it ok to insult children and athletes? Or wait it was a joke, so it's ok to make jokes about our children and we shouldn't be mad we should chuck it up....imagine if Ahmad Rashad or Brian Gumble had called a group of white female college athletes a bunch of stringy haired tramps....do you think the white people would just laugh it off....tell each other to grow a thicker skin....cite the fact that white comedians make jokes about blacks all the time, tell each other oh we disrespect ourselves by calling each other cracker and slut etc...so that's why blacks disrespect us......
sleep on this.
You'd just like to think that you guys have a monopoly on nappy hair.
