don imus should have been fired for making those derogatory remarks about the ladies from rutgers university, especially the word "ho". No matter how you say it,l it has an unsavory connotation,l meaning a low class of woman or girl who has no morals or standards of any kind.
Nappy headed, refers to black hair which is excessively curly, and hard to comb, compared to white hair or straight hair implying that straight is the standard being used to judge what is good or bad hair.
Apparently, he has been bad mouthing not only blacks, but jews, latinos, lesbians, and gay for many years, and was never called on the carpet for it. He is a white male who feels he can say and do no wrong.
Because of the boycott of many of the important sponsors he had, he began to see the error of his speech and knew he had to make amends to the young women at rutgers, and get a new perspective of what he could say and not say to people of color.
It appears firing him will lead to an interesting about face imus, he does have two blacks on his program, but he needs to do more, maybe amore posistive history of blacks, how racist remarks have hurt blacks and what can be done to overcome them, community service in the black community etc..

hitman evaluation
Ebert's description of a professional hitman and his disguise being responsible for more than 100 murders on 6 continents was one of the criteria for evaluating the movie. There was too much killing for me! I agreed with his judgment of the movie.
The prostitute Nika, became his friend and ally or confidante because was in the same boat that he was in. No family,or friends, just acquaintances. When they discovered each needed the other, they became closer.
Ebert discussed the other governments in detail,video as part of the art form, which made for a greater understanding of the movie as a whole.
It was the onlyl recent movie I've seen of Ebert, and I don't usually agree wilth his comments when he critiques movies on t.v. However, he seems to be right on target with his ideas about "Hitman".
