As usual the media firestorm over the Imus flap has left plenty of victims, not least of all was free speech. But the one no one is talking about is the Nappy Headed Ho. This woman of the world has been treated to the most disrespectful public display of shame and I for one will not let it stand.

Who is this Nappy Headed Ho who is the butt of the Imus insult? She is a mother, a sister,  maybe your co-worker (if your a HO). She has been around longer than any collage b-ball team. She has as much effect on the community as most college grads. She works hard for her money and has an economic impact. She is versed with all types of people and all nationality,s she may even know more than one language. She facilitates stress relief in the community. Imagine the world without the nappy headed ho.

Look at the things inspired by the Nappy Headed Ho. The Cake Cutter. (I love cake) This handy comb can double as a cheese slicer and a defensive weapon. The Chia Pet was an obvious tribute. Ill have to check the numbers but I think broccoli sales are up.

How can this woman be used as the butt of an insult in today's society? She should be celebrated by our, all inclusive, all tolerant, multi-cultural utopia. The ACLU champions the man love boy association, and the Nappy Headed Ho is bad? Race Pimps with blow horns are out there, and the Nappy Headed Ho is bad? Politicians are out there selling influence and spending trillions of our dollars,and the Nappy Headed Ho is bad?

The next time you want to throw out an insult, consider using some group or person who is lower than the supposed lowness of the Nappy Headed Ho.
