Imus and Nappy-headed-ho's

BTW, I found the comment FAR more insulting to women than to blacks. I too will not use the "American" term.
Also, the night the last idol was kicked-off she was asked about the comment one of the judges (Simon) made about how she was normally dressed (scantly) and how it was her tactic to stay in the competition, particularly that night. Being that she was very scantly dressed and more made-up than usual. Her comment was that it was "Latin night, so..." implying that dressing like a ho' was normal for them I guess.
I waited for the uproar... still am I guess. It offend me. Funny, I'm not easily offended, but am seeing a lot more of a casual attitude toward comments like these toward women these days. Particularly from women, makes me sad.
