Some context: Imus was correct. A lot of hip-hop artists have said worse things. It was only last week that we saw Snoop Dogg being praised for criticizing conservative pundit Bill O'Reilly on a popular Netherlands TV talk show.
What got lost amid the applause was Snoop's referring to his former female lawyer, Lauren Lake, who had appeared on "The O'Reilly Factor," as a "ho who was doing the bidding of her pimp" (meaning Snoop).

I believe Rush did call her a “ho” when the scandal broke and there was a bit of a dust up. But the scandal died down when people realized that if a low rent stripper/hooker aint a ho, the word has no meaning.
The best I can figure is that Ebonics is beautiful if spoken by rappers and other hip-hop types, but should not be spoken by white people, as speaking to someone in the language they themselves have proclaimed to be beautiful and worthy of rigorous academic treatment is offensive. Go figure.
Ironically, Ebonics is taught at Rutgers.

Not even close...
I am about the same age and I can say I have seen "... terrible things done by that race of people".
If their color were green or purple, the statement would still be accurate.
How did “s*ck my d*ck b*tch” become a love song?
And possibly anyone that would spend very much time listening to Howard Stern would also be in that category.
What is even worse is the Pat Boone cover version of this song.
(I prefer Tom Jone’s version myself).
No — but Imus is white — and everyone knows you can only be a racist if you’re white.
Was that by the Beastie Boys ?
I, as a young white woman, was in L A at the same time period. I was also one who supported the civil rights movement.
However, the reverse racism is really getting offensive.
It is the cracker so many persons of color disrespect who helped push the movement toward real results for everyone and the European Judeo-Christian mentality carried the principles by which it all came about.
It is time for respect to go both ways, but when it does not the response should be a little thicker skinned. We have to realize that people have a right to say almost anything in this country. I do not think we want to lose that becasue if we do, we lose our people power for everyone.
No.
But Anus in the Mornining was delivering them at specific targets hardly in public view - decent kids on a college basketball team.
Besdies, Anus in the Morning is a liberal Democrat.
I posted a comment at one time on this site and used the word "uppity" and immediately I was perceived as black. If "nappy haired ho" is reserved for use by only blacks then I agree that Ann Coulter is correct BUT we need more than a rule book we need many new dictionaries that are race specific.
This has gone waaaaay too far and I am tired of being hi-jacked in undefined ways by minority groups. It is time the white folk (if I can use that word) stand up to this crap.
It is a sad day when American Idol can be hi-jacked by the public for no good reason and when a person's career can be hi-jacked because of ill-chosen words that freedom of speech grants all of us.
This is not about racism--it is about words and who is allowed and who is NOT ALLOWED to use them.
Nothing in speech is as offensive as the racial remarks made by ‘Latino’ leaders, many of them professors on the tax payer dole. Where is the outrage about that?

“...even though I’m saying this part serious, part joking, I think we are practicing La Reconquista in California....”
“Reconquista” refers to the re-taking of the U.S. Southwest that Mexico lost in the Mexican-American War. Some Mexicans refer to this territory as “Aztlan”.
A Google search of ‘nigga’ and ‘lyrics’ yields 1,360,000 hits.
The Left has protected classes, people, groups that no one must criticize and all must pander to! The minorities are such and though crime, illegality, immorality is huge in their culture, crime rates, gangs, music and illigitimacy, no one may protest. If one does, that person could be in real danger of life and limb. See how they will now try to destroy Talk Radio.

Phrases like "nappy-haired ho" are reserved for persons of low moral character, whatever their race or culture.
Persons with character ... of all races and cultures ... do no use such phrases.
