Nappy-Headed Ho's

I can't figure out what is more stupid, Imus calling the Rutgers Woman's Basketball Team "Nappy-Headed Hos" or Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson calling his comments racist.

Do Sharpton and Jackson have any idea how often the term "Ho" is used in this country every day? I would saying 90% of the time it isn't meant to be derogatory? It is just a word to describe a girl. Especially if you know the girl isn't a whore. Maybe its origins aren't the best but that doesn't mean that its use now indicates its former use. It's not people started calling and emailing friends saying, "Hey, Imus just said the girls on the Rutger's B-Ball team are hos, lets get to Jersey FAST!!"
Does "Nappy Headed" indicate that he was speaking about African-Americans?
Maybe Sharpton and Jackson are racist for assuming that "Nappy Headed" refers to only African-Americans?
Do the white girls on the Rutger's basketball team needed to be involved with this. Apparently, they aren't "Nappy-Headed" according to Sharpton, nor do we know if they are actually "hos". Maybe Sharpton and Jackson were offended because he knows the Rutger's girls are infact hos, and in that case, whats the issue? It is a true statement.

Never underestimate the amount of stupid people in the world.
