Don Imus, sticks his foot in his mouth...

Don't do it. It's ugly.

I have no intentions of doing that. It looks to painful. Besides, I was deemed hyper-sensative to pain by a doctor last week.

I wouldn't equate it to having a needle stuck in your toe.

True. But Bug ditched her Barbie hairdressing head because I am a much better candidate.

I agree.

I agree.

Consider yourself lucky for not going out of the house with weird things in your hair.

There is only so much I'll do for my child.

why is it everytime a non black person that makes racist remarks about African-Americans always brings up rap music....WTF does that have do with their ass making racist remarks...are rappers the moral leaders of our society-NO..does society gauge right and wrong from what they do and say-NO...

I sure hope you dont think Michael Richards and Imus are the moral leaders of white people any more than rappers are the moral leaders of black people.

Not my society. Yours, maybe.

Unfortunately, I wasn't aware. At least I was at the local store and the proprietor laughed at me.

I have never seen a white girl with nappy hair.

We had a white gal in my cosmetology class that had nappy hair. She wasn't even mixed or anything.

What's amazing to me is that everyone's so up in arms about the "nappy headed" part. Imus called those girls whores. THAT is the biggest offense, IMO.

Does "ho" still mean "whore"?

That's where it comes from. :shrug:

I got the impression it was all inclusive. Even yo momma qualified.

It's racism that's important.

Imus has been on the air 30 years and made comments like this about women but now that we've got Qurious/Al Sharpton here, anybody who makes a racial slip should be shunned for life.

What I noticed is that he made the comments to Sid Rosenberg. What's Mr. Rosenberg still doing on the air? The media hasn't talked about his problems with crack and alcohol and whatever else he went to rehab for. I might be wrong, but Rosenberg is worse than Imus.

But like other words in pop culture they take on a meaning different than the originated.

Me too, I thought it was gansta for female.

 

[AndyMarquisLIVE]

That's acceptable in society now, at least with teenage girls. At least with what I've noticed, girls say "You're such a whore" and say it in the context of "You're so cool" now. It's a shame how today's society glorfies the ugliest of words and has become an oasis for the double standard.

 

[AndyMarquisLIVE]

But like other words in pop culture they take on a meaning different than the originated.

Offensive words like ho and racial terms have double meanings. If used by a group of the same stereotype, the word is all of a sudden acceptable in that group of society. But, if one person of a different race utters the same word, it's foul mouth racism. Same word, different meanings.
