[quote="Chronic Diarrhea":1b58c][quote:1b58c]Ho isnt the part that the black community finds offensive, its more the "NAPPY-HEADED" side, and the HO following it just made it worse. [/quote:1b58c]

But why? I still don't get it. Are blacks saying only black women are nappy-headed?

Of course it was supposed to be a stupid comment. Imus does it all the time. Men don't say "nappy-headed" and be serious about it.[/quote:1b58c]

lol - of course only blacks have nappy hair...White people's hair is too straight.

...and did you read where I said that I thought he was making a joke too? Of course I don't think he was serious.

Where are Al Sharpton and the protesters when rap albums are coming out? I don't remember seeing them take a stand against Eminem's songs:
"Slut, you think I won't choke no w---- 'til the vocal cords don't work in her throat no more? B---- I'ma gonna kill you! Like a murder weapon, I'ma gonna conceal you in a closet with mildew, sheets, pillows and film you."

And the music videos that represent the lyrics, oh boy.
First of all, Sharpton represents the BLACK community. Not the feminist community....I don't see any "nappy head" or N-word comments in there, so I don't see Sharpton intervening.
Also, he's not necessarily being mysogynistic, seeing as he is talking about a particular woman in his life who has apparently done him wrong. Not all women in general.....

and FUTHERMORE, people DID shit a brick when that song came out, it was a lot bigger deal at the time than this Imus thing, so I don't know what you're talking about dude...

I no way condone his actions. it was retarded and a shitty joke. but dropping race cards and stuff into is ridiculous especially when you have half the popular MC's of todays mainstream hip hop referring to women the same way.
I don't think the black community is getting fired up over the mysogynistic comments - Like I said earlier. Its the combination of the word hoe with nappy-headed, that means its directed at BLACK women.

...and I know it doesnt change anything, but if you listen to the songs, generally, for the most part - not necessarily always, but for the most part those rappers are talking about a particular type of money-grubbing, slutty woman and not all women....and even then you can't compare it to this, because that isnt a racial thing - That's a feminist issue, and that shit goes on so much day to day that people dont care about it usually. Throw in a racial comment alongside it (nappy-headed) and it becomes an issue for people to sink their teeth into....

...and also, no rapper refers to women as 'niggas' - they're refering to guys when that appears in rap songs. lol.
