Oh puh-lease. That is incredibly disingenuous. Give me a fucking break. He's referring to the natural hair quality of Americans of African descent, in a derogatory way. And he's specifically implying that a black woman is as good as a whore.
I'd fire his ass. It's not about the "hypersensitivity" of American culture or any other issue. It's about making bigoted remarks about black Americans in the media. If he works with any black people, I would also sue him for creating a hostile work environment.
Given the history of black-white relations in America, it's not OK to talk this way in a public (privately owned) media, and on the job. Unless you work for the KKK or Aryan fucking Nations.
Personally, his taste in clothes alone should get him slammed.
you, the media and other wackos are the ones that are making it about race. you're making the connection of black=ho. we can nit pick here... sure he was commenting on their hair. saying it was nappy. that's simply a comment on THEIR hair. the team does not represent all blacks, nor does commenting on their hair make them any less of a person. again, i agree that it isn't a nice thing to say. just as calling them hoes is not nice either, but the simple statement doesn't make the race connection. black rappers call women hoes more than dj's do. how do you see that impacting the black/white relations??
