Don Imus assumed what he said would be funny, he never thought it would get this far. I’m shocked he was fired(I dislke the taking away of one’s livelihood)but I am at a loss to think of another solution-but do you notice how the other ‘news’ is trying to slip under the radar b/c of this story. NAPPY was a bad word to me as a child but now that i’m older it’s a compliment–to everyone who ever called and thought of my hair as NAPPY–THANK YOU,

No excuses ladies. Black men put it out there like that. And lots of our women chimed in. And yes here comes Rev. Al. Every day my peace is disrupted by the offensive language of some ignorant black male who seems to think that he cannot complete a sentence without the use of “bitch”, “ho” or “nigger”. I didn’t hate Kramer and I’m not hating Imus. I’m hating the music industry that perpetuates it. We have to fight it ourselves because clearly men aren’t strong enough to fix the mess they made. And the Rev. Al’s only in fighting stance when other races call us out. Rev. Al lives in NY just like I do. I KNOW that he hears what I hear. Anyway it’s not even about him. In my way I am fighting. But the fight is gonna take more women. Please don’t support that music. Don’t buy their fashions. Don’t answer to ‘ho. Hold the men in your life accountable.

Honestly, I’m not mad at Imus at all. I’m mad at us. I’ve said this a million times. We’ve got to stop puttting disrespectful, irresponsible images out in the media. People will not respect you until you respect yourselves.

Imus, Snoop, Dr. Dre, Ludacris, 50 cent, Game, etc all have something in common: calling black women hos or bitches. 50 cent, Ludacris, Snoop have called more black women hoes, bitches, chickens than anything else. Yet, we stay silent. We need to check ourselves before we check others. Charles Barkley said black women are smelly. Wesley Snipes said black women are loud, don’t read, and act ignorant. Yet, black women stay silent. I’m more upset at the disrespect black women receive from black men, than anything else.

PS Al Sharpton DOES NOT speak for me.

BRAVO! BRAVO! I love the video and hearing the Staple Singers! MAN!! Now that was music!
As a side note, here it is 2007 and its a shame that we still have “bigots” like this. And yes he is a bigot no matter how much he apologizes. However, it goes beyond race and color, its whats in your heart. We hear people from all walks of say and do negative things, some are just given more attention than others. This person said what was in his heart to say. From “rappers” to “the Klan” to “opressors of love, life, and liberty”, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth shall speak”….remember we were are already fore told these things….enough said.

Thing is I hear rappers say ho all the time in songs but I have never heard the term “nappy headed ho” in a rap before.

I’m guessing that if rappers are allowed to get away with saying garbage like that why not Don Imus ?
Until we all gather together to fight sexism and colorism in our own community we invite racist white man to say sexist and racist remarks to us.I doubt they will fire him the guy has been saying anti-semitic things and he was still on the air.

I do not like when people drop verbal bombs, and then want to rectify the situation with an apology. That does not cut it. Think before you speak, keep your mouth shut, or take the ridicule. On the flip side, the Staple Singer dresses were niiihiiice!! Loved it!

I’ve never been a fan favorite when it comes to speaking out about how rappers “degrade” women because I’ve always said they are not referring to every Woman or every Black Woman period. I’ve been known to say that we as Women have got to be more proactive in our concept of self worth/self esteem. We have to stop being so REACTIVE. Why wait for someone to call us names before we decide that we have to do something about not only the way society sees us but how we see ourselves? You know I think speaking about this issue here on afrobella is like preaching to the choir. Because those of us that are of this mind are already here. We should be “taking it to the streets” so to speak.

I may be way out of line here (which I usually am once I say that. LOL) but I’m guessing that Don Imus has a thing for Black Women and he doesn’t want to admit it. I mean why else would he have been watching School Daze (and it’s apparent that he’s watched it MANY a time because that’s just not something you remember like that fully unless that’s part of your VHS collection. Plus, he’d actually gotten it mixed up with Do The Right Thing so you tell me who has a collection of Spike Lee videos)?
