On the April 4 edition of MSNBC's Imus in the Morning, host Don Imus referred to the Rutgers University women's basketball team, which is comprised of eight African-American and two white players, as "nappy-headed hos" immediately after the show's executive producer, Bernard McGuirk, called the team "hard-core hos." Later, former Imus sports announcer Sid Rosenberg, who was filling in for sportscaster Chris Carlin, said: "The more I look at Rutgers, they look exactly like the [National Basketball Association's] Toronto Raptors." McGuirk referred to the NCAA women's basketball championship game between Rutgers and Tennessee as a "Spike Lee thing," adding, "The Jigaboos vs. The Wannabees -- that movie that he had."
Imus initially was given a two-week suspension for calling the Rutgers women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos" on the air last week, but outrage continued to grow and advertisers bolted from his CBS radio show and its MSNBC simulcast.
"There has been much discussion of the effect language like this has on our young people, particularly young women of color trying to make their way in this society," CBS President and Chief Executive Officer Leslie Moonves said in announcing the decision. "That consideration has weighed most heavily on our minds as we made our decision."
Rutgers women's basketball team spokeswoman Stacey Brann said the team did not have an immediate comment on Imus' firing.

Funny thing is, they are nappy headed hoes. Born in the ghetto, tatted up, speaking in slang, masculine, and vulgar. I don't see how Imus is wrong here, he's just brutally honest.

Lincoln had ex slaves volunteer in the army to join in on the fight ...but he never made slaves fight against their will...you can look that up...your making it sound like he was making them do it but the fact remains that a good majority of ex- slaves volunteered and a lot of them where turned away due being illiterate...

No, if I made this fact up then I never would have taken the liberty to post it, misinforming people. You can research it online or in textbooks.

Laura mentioned her racial background presumably to clear up some misconceptions about her comments and to reinforce the position on which she stands.
It has nothing ado with prejudice, Scott.

Lincoln only wanted more soldiers to help fight in the war. He even said he would keep slaves if they wouldn't help in the war.

What does ghettos, tattoos, slang, vulgarness and masculinity have to do with being a "nappy headed hoe?" What exactly is a "nappy headed hoe"? What you listed has nothing to do with what he said.
