Dean used to be nappy headed until he went for the Kojak look.
Okay, I am an old fogey and don't keep up with racial slang and stuff, but is "nappy-head" like what we used to call "rack hair" or "sleep helmet". So, is the racist thing calling them "hos" or is Nappy-hair a racial term? TIA
It seems that using any "n" word when referring to our dark skinned brothers and sisters is taboo... unless of course you happen to have dark skin. Then you can drop N-bombs and be as crude and depricating as you like.
Would calling Dean a fat bastard be sexist or racist? ;)
No, that's not what nappy-headed means, and it has specific meaning to those of African descent.Quote:

Props to Imus for giving a lengthy impromptu apology rather than reading some statement prepared by his lawyer. His apology was lame in parts though when he kept using examples of his goodness and saying that those examples don't excuse anything. For the most part he seemed genuine, contrite, and manned-up by offering to apoligize to the Rutgers girls in-person.Quote:
1. nappy
one of African desent who has tightly coiled unkept hair; one with locks of hair that is tightly curled that is unwashed and uncombed
Sholanda has such nappy hair you can see her buckshots even after she gets a perm.
He was wrong, he admitted it honestly and publicly, and I'm ready to move on.
BTW, Imus is looking more and more like Hal Holbrook every day.
I think it has something to do with the hair. :D
G damn you can take ANY racial type slur and turn it around :mad:
Who cares , I can tell a joke about a certain race , then turn around and tell the same Joke about :texan: s

Imus isn't exaclty a liberal is he? I thought he "hates everything worth hating" and such? I know he backed Harold Ford Jr here in TN and HFJ is fairly liberal. He thought Kerry would win, but he also likes him some elephants I think. He's mentioned the Intrepid Fallen Heroes program several times passionately so that earned him some spek in my book.
I hate what he said and if he worked for me his *** would be packing up his office today. Course I work for the gubmint so it'd be a no-brainer.
Maybe I'm not quite ready to move on after all.
