The Infamous Words of Don Imus

Don Imus is the radio personality who referred to the women on a college basketball team as "nappy headed ho's". I was as angry as most people when I heard this but I'm a little dismayed by all the protesters I'm seeing in the news. It seems they're all most insulted by the words "nappy headed" and not too concerned that these women were also called "ho's" (or whores).

Imagine how any of us would feel if we or our daughters were referred to as whores by anyone let along a radio announcer. Why are these protesters not outraged by this word?

Don Imus is a racist but he has also shown abominable disrespect for women of any color. If he'd spoken those words of me or mine I'd be looking for a good lawyer to sue his ass.
