It’s a
damn shame to say, but apparently, a bunch of black women across the nation
agree with racist radio host Don Imus, who, in a 2007 on-air conversation with
executive producer Bernard McGuirk, referred to Rutgers’ women’s basketball
team as some “rough girls” that looked like “nappy-headed ho’s”.
If you
don’t remember the conversation…here is the main excerpt.
Imus: That's some rough girls from Rutgers . Man, they got tattoos and—
McGuirk: Some hard-core ho’s.
Imus: That's some nappy-headed
ho’s. I'm gonna tell you that now, man, that's some—whew. And the girls
from Tennessee , they all look cute, you know, so, like—kinda’ like—I don't know.
McGuirk: A Spike
Lee thing.
Imus: Yeah.
McGuirk: The Jigaboos vs. the
Wannabes—that movie that he had.
Now, don’t
get me wrong people, I am not calling any black woman this disgraceful name
myself, all I am saying is that by speaking out against American Gymnast Gabby
Douglas’ hairstyle, these foolish women (I’ll keep them unnamed, though you can
search the Internet for yourself) and their acts of stupidity, simply gave
credence to the deplorable words that Imus uttered five years ago.
In speaking
out against the electrifying Douglas , (whose hair was just fine mind you), all of these
extremely shallow – and apparently, immensely jealous – back women reaffirmed the
notion that if a woman’s hair isn’t straightened, it means she’s nappy-headed.
And as
Imus said, if you’re nappy-headed, then you must be a ho right? Because those
two things go hand-in-hand…correct?
Of course
they don’t…and to even suggest so is absolutely insane. However, every black
woman that had something negative to say about Gabby Douglas’ hair, basically
agreed with what Don Imus said about black women on-air nearly five years ago –
whether they want to admit it or not!
