What is the supertremendously humongous deal about Don Imus calling some black female basketball players "nappy headed hos"? Don Imus is a prick, and he made a prick comment. He got famous by being a prick, and he has been getting paid a lot of money for it for years. This is the guy who pissed fire when Howard Stern came along and stole his thunder. It was trashy to insult a championship basketball team like that. But I don't understand how it is racist, and I don't understand why so many people are treating it like a shooting spree. How is it racist?

People who are screaming it is racist are saying that black people are the only people capable of having nappy hair and that you can't talk about hair without talking about race. It is so absurd. There are nappy headed people in every race. Aren't there? Have you seen what Eric Clapton's hair looked like in 1967? Have you seen what the audience looked like at Woodstock? You should see what my hair looks like when it hasn't been washed. And most black people don't have nappy hair. Nappy hair is not exclusively black. Why would anybody want to suggest that it is? That is racist. Using the term "nappy headed" is not racist. And if use of the term "ho" is suddenly such a big deal, where have the complainers been since gangter rap got big in the late 80's? This is so puzzling.
