What's wrong with the word NAPPY?

I'm more upset that Imus referred to those athletes as 'ho's'...shouldn't Gloria Alred speaking out about it instead of Al Sharpton? Now HE has nappy hair...look at it.

I believe in calling a spade a spade.

'Nappy' is a state of condition.

It has a definition in the dictionary.

My hair is nappy, if I don't perm or relax it.

I'm not offended.

What's wrong with the word NAPPY?

See Nappy starts with the letter "N" and we all know what other word starts with "N". it also has 5 letters.. that's pretty close to 6 letters. I think you see what Imus was REALLY trying to say. Seriously though it reminds me of a few years back when a teacher was fired, yes fired for saying the word "*********" in class, a standard English word that has nothing whatsoever to do with race, simply because the word sounds like the N word. Ah well that's society today.

What's wrong with the word NAPPY?

if he had said those are some nappy headed women, that would have been different. when he refered to nappy headed hoes - he was specifically refering to black/african amer women.

you're right - i thought feminists would speak out. but i think black men spoke out to stand up for their women.

remember, if those college women playing championship ball are nappy headed hoes... then these men's mothers, sisters, daughters, wives are all nappy headed hoes.

I'm so tired of racism. Back in December while Christmas shopping at Wal Mart I accidnetly bumped in a Afro-American lady. I immediately apologized. She looked down her nose at me (i'm only 5'2") gave her head a wobble and snorted, "Watch it, white girl!" That didn't sound like an acceptance of my apology. It sounded like an insult to me. So It goes both ways.
