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..
