why are people so up set don imus called that basket ball team hos?

Question

i gaurentee you thoese girls or most any way dont mind being called HOs off the court. our culture has made it ok to call any woman a HO(not that i agree) so i dont think they sould have made such a big deal.

Answer 1

Every woman resents being called a "ho"; don't kid yourself!!

Also, he added a racist element by saying "nappy-headed".

Answer 2

The fact that Imus is a bigot that sounds a like a 100 year old talking douche although more provocative than the chipmonks working everywhere else in the media.

His mistake, you don't make obvious statements during a political season because NAACP and everyone including their dog will put some hay around you and bind you to a poll then they will light a match and chant Biblical verses and call you the devil.

Answer 3

for the comparable reason people who have confidence that pretend information is particularly information and have actual journalistic fee. The reich wing noise device do lots lots worse than injury than Imus ever would desire to. this is fairly not something in comparison to insults, to our u . s . a . and persons , which you ditto headed Limbaugians, invoice O'Reiley, Glen Beck, conservative cheerleaders and something of the strategies lifeless populis of the U. S. enable to bypass on devoid of outrage. As for Air united statesa. Radio my positive feathered freek ^H^H^H^H^H pal, you're able to be listening to your top wing acquaintances at fox and not checking issues out for your self as maximum conservatives do. Air united statesa. Radio has not and/or isn't failing this is under new possession. bought via the eco-friendly kin (no not the eco-friendly occasion there's a distinction). this is under chaper 11, restructuring. As maximum new companies secure haven commencing out. We understand between your job at Walmart, Church, and picketing abortion clinics you have not have been given lots time for the information. So shop listening to your windbag acquaintances at fox information, turn on Limbaugh, Hannity, and the different gasbags in the motor vehicle, it variety of feels they actually shop you and all reliable republicans nicely recommended, presented this is something you want to hearken to and not inevitably the fact.

Answer 4

You have to look at this at all angles...

I think what he said was offensive (I don't think he is necessarily a racist, just a nasty guy)...but at the same time if Al Sharpton complains about him I expect him to have the same equal conviction towards that language used from anyone else... no matter what color he is.

I think the best thing to do (and its not for me to tell the Rutger players what to do)...is reconciliate and forgive him in private. This will all around win everyone...to win or turn someone from the darkside is a great feeling.

Answer 5

Imus is a loud mouthed as@@@le and should be prevented from being able say these things but it's a free country and if people don't agree with what he says they have the power to turn the dial to something else!

Answer 6

Because he is a white man, with a sense of humor, blacks don't think a white person should be allowed to have? Just a guess. If Don Imus was a black man, there would be no discussion.

Answer 7

If the girls had been white and Imus had called them ho's, nobody would have complained.

Answer 8

He is a shock jock. His show has always been about pocking someone in the eye. This time one of the minorities stood up. If he had said something about White Males & we bauked, the press would have just said don't get your whity tieties in a not, live with it!

Answer 9

I've read much worse stuff than "nappy-headed hos" right here on Yahoo! Answers.

With rare exceptions, those people are still on.

Answer 10

your right, but i guess as a celebrity, he needs to set examples, but i totally dont think they should make such a big deal. they call each other b****es in the locker room im sure. and there are worse remarks to be said. but it is a women basketball team trying to overcome inequality which im totally for. but dont let stupid comments like that get to you. brush it off just like any other comment. i would have been offended of course but i wouldnt act like i was completely crushed. it happens. he shouldnt have said that true, but cmon lots of people say things

Answer 11

the word nappy does not refer to ho's it refers to a hair style.... if incorrect I as a woman can understand how a man don't know braids from a pixie cut...
