Imus May be the Starting Point
The Imus story continues to be news. Let's take a look around and see if any sense can be made. Why is it that Imus got canned while hip hop goes on like nothing happened ? The truth is simply this , Imus does'nt have the brain pan to create "Nappy Hair " and " Ho " , on his own. He got those words from hip hop. Imus has made his fame by riding other people's coat tails. So , why do the Rutger girls have their hair on fire ?
Let's go back to around 1971. Black women saw their black men crawling out of the closet with their white girl friends. It was already bad enough black women were not getting respect from their men and now this. Seeing that nothing was going to change , black women seemed to roll over when they were told to. Now , back to the future - nothing has changed. Today , black women still do not get respect from their black men , butt , they got a white man fired. Well that does make sense. If a black man won't give a black woman respect , ya gotz to start somewhere , right ? Hip hop says don't compare them to Imus cause it ain't the same. Well , where did Imus get those words again? Besides , I saw the game and Imus was right. They all had Nappy Hair !
If you missed last night's programming , you missed shots of the Rutger girls fussing over their hair before talking. Is'nt it interesting , that now they are national news , they are worried about the way they look.
If you want to see more disrespect towards black women , COMCAST shows " Soul of Africa ". This is a mix of African music. Hmm.........maybe that's where hip hop got their ideas.
