Imus needs to take a look in the mirror. He is the last one that needs to be talking about nappy hair.

In the spirit of synergizing the other thread in the Pub (the lame Florida-Grease spinoff) with this one, let's listen to another song from one of my favorite musicals, Avenue Q:

YouTube - everyones a little bit racist - avenue xiii
"Everyone's a little bit racist"

Ignore the lame video-game animation - focus on the lyrics :) And if you've never seen Avenue Q, check it out when you're next in NYC.

Maybe I should elaborate -- I don't mean anything inflammatory at all. All I mean is that even a pudgy white guy like me knows that for black women, hair is a sensitive and even quasi-political issue. Anyone who's watched a friend go through histrionics about extensions, dreadlocks, straightening, etc., knows that "nappy-headed hos" is a particularly hurtful thing for somebody to say about a group of girls.

Imus is a deflated, old wind bag now, but I still think you have trouble proving intent in this particular situation. IF we are judging speech with the same criteria used for "hate crimes" (for instance) shouldn't we at least have a discussion about intentions?

I knew exactly what you were implying, as a fellow resident of the ATL and a former IT instructor to all races and genders. My "match, meet gasoline" comment was directed towards Imus, not you :)

Imus and women's basketball. Can we get Al Gore to comment so we can have a trifecta of irrelevance at work regarding this story?

mods, can we get this comment moved to the politics forum where it will still be wrong but at least will be in the right place? :yes:
