You Don't Think U Can Say "Nappy Headed Ho's" And Get Away With It??

Especially if you are of the Caucasian persuasion. MSNBC announced on Monday a two-week suspension of its simulcast of Imus' show after Imus referred to the Rutgers players as "nappy-headed hos." But as part of an "ongoing review process," which included input from its own employees, NBC Universal decided stronger action was necessary, and dropped his simulcast completely. This isn't the first offensive or racially charged statement Imus has said, a while back I heard that he had called someone a "Jiggaboo"on his show.

And if this ain't bad enough A radio station morning DJ encouraged listeners to call and say "I'm a nappy-headed ho" for a"Phrase that Pays" contest where listeners who called in would be awarded tickets to a NASCAR promotion at a local club.
