It means, basically, that your hair is matted. I don't see how it's racist, though it's clearly insulting.

 

[brxndxn]

Let's stretch for the racism in everything that's said..

That person is fat. Is she black? Yes.. RACIST!!!

That black guy robbed me!!! RACIST!!!

I hate Al Sharpton!! OMG RACIST YOU BURN IN HELL AND DIE!

That Jewish guy smells. *crickets* *tumbleweed*

He was a 6-foot 3 black... RACIST!! THAT'S RACIST

Michael Jackson.. RACIST!!!


Please don't call me racist. I only hate women.

 

[Chunkee]

as usual

anytime a white guy says something "racial" the retarded Al Sharpton must step in...

he is probably one of the most racist people i have seen, however, i suppose it is different for him.

I have seen this kind of crap get worse and worse....

at college i remember a white supremacist group handing out fliers...he got in trouble.

however, an exclusive, hateful black militant group, reminiscent of the black panthers was on campus rallying and inviting other to join their organization...

no troubled ensued for them...

if we are going to be fair, then lets BE FAIR...

i am so sick and tired of idiots with chips on their shoulders labeled "the world owes me something" getting so much attention...

i do not know who is worse, the idiots with the chips, or the dumbass media the seems to think, they are worthy of grandiosity...

you see 1 report a month or so, buried about conditions in Darfur, or Cambodia, Tibet, Mexico, South America, Central America, where a great deal of atrocities are being committed...however, the loud mouth idiots that overreact and manipulate an already pathetic catering system, get front page domination and news coverage...

Censorship is getting worse. If you dont like it, shut it off....as well as stix and stones...

Sharpton ONLY reveals the weak ass buffoon that he is, by allowing petty remarks to cause such an uproar....just an excuse to eat up his sad life of notoriety...

does he really do anything except blame, whine or bitch about everything...?

Are you sure you want to do this?

 

[NYHoustonman]

He was led into the comment, and these are the kinds of things he says on his show (or used to say, anyway). If you don't like it don't listen.

And I can't say I disagree..., necessarily.

 

[TheSiege]

when did nappy headed hos equate to insulting black people? its like saying long haired hippy equates to white....maybe im missing something. seems like he was talking about a team in college sports. not a race of people. but what do i know

 

[Red Dawn]

It was racist but who actually heard him say it on the air? His ratings are worse the Opie and Anthony's

At least he was right about the UT women's team LINK

 

[leftyman]

It was a pretty f'ed up thing to say on the radio..but I bet his ratings are going up. Personally I think he sucks.

 

[TheSiege]

he complimented the other team, who is mostly black, shouldnt that cancel each other out or something, i need to consult a mathematician

I agree except for the fact Casey Clausen has been there

 

[LegendKiller]

Sharpton and Jackson suck.

There is a rap song that mentions dragging a girl by her "nappy arse weave".


But I guess it's OK for blacks to be derogatory and racist towards their own race, but the second somebody else says it it's just horrible. The perpetuation of stereotypes not only has to stop externally, but also internally. You can't completely fault the external source since the internal source is also at fault.

I think that's the point Oprah tries to make re: rappers. You can't hold anybody else up to a high standard if you can't even meet it yourself.

derogatory, yes.

racist, not quite.

 

[OutHouse]

why is calling somebody nappy head offensive and racist? when kids need a reminder to comb their hair i tell them to go comb that nappy head of theirs. never knew that was a racist term.

Not so much "Nappy Headed" but "Rough Looking Nappy Headed Ho's" certainly is.

Worst part was when he said nappy headed ho's compared to the cute girls of Tennessee.

 

[Heifetz]

The only way to fight back against the hypocrites like Sharpton and Jackson is to play their own game. Someone should step up and publicize every racist thing that comes out of their mouth and demand an explanation. Of course, because they're black, they have a double standard, and they're allowed to be racist.

again, I still fail to see how that is even remotely racist. it's simply derogatory.
