This entire controversy has got me thinking..."Why do people think 'nappy hair' is bad?" Sharpton implies this himself by chastising the guy so much. So what if their hair is kinky? Does that make them the devil incarnate? OMG their hair isn't chemically altered, we should hate them now!?
I understand the "ho" part. What the hell kind of a grown person calls a group ofcollegebasketball players whores? But anyway, back to the point.
Do you think something is wrong with "nappy hair" and why?
This question is mainly for black people, but others are welcome to respond.

You make a good point about Sharpton, especially coming from a dude sporting a James Brown 'do. In my white opinion, for whatever it's worth, there's nothing at all wrong with nappy hair. I can remember as a kid wanting to bounce things off of it (lol). Now I just think it looks cool. I didn't even realize how uncommon it had become until I started seeing so many questions on here about black women having (or rather, not having) natural hair.
I'm sure you realize that the big issue over Imus isn't so much about nappy hair itself, but with his implication that it goes hand-in-hand with being a "ho." Another thing I didn't realize is that that grumpy old fart still had enough listeners and credibility to upset folks with his nasty vitriol. Wow, was I ever mistaken.

Nothing at all . I'm a African American woman and for years I always wore a weave. quick weave, drawstring ponytail, tracks, sown in, etc. But one day I was taking my hair down to put some more in and realized how long it had become and it was nappy but I was happy. So I went and got it styled and started to appreciate the freedom of having not to worry about loose tracks, or something showing and till this day (2 years later). But now it grows better, nappier, and I fu@ing love it. So I am pissed off because of him calling them "hoes" But they should not be mad a the nappy part, not that they are, but you have to admit he did use it in a negative way, that's why black women continue to have a complex about something as simply as hair. What the hell does he know about nappy anyway?
Nothing wrong with nappy hair.It was a phrase he picked up from the blacks and used it on the air.This was wrong and he said he is sorry.Now i am wondering what it is that Al wants out of his time and trouble from making Don lose his job
