Uhhhhh guys, there were white women on that team, too.  If I'm not mistaken he was referring to the team as a whole. The white girls also got called nappy headed  ho's.  The most hilariuos thing to me is that I call my little sister a nappy headed ho all of the time....she's white, obviously.  This has gone on for years before Imus.  She has the nappiest hair I have ever seen.  She finally has gotten control over it with the use of gel, but before that it was terrible.  I never said it with the intent on being racists.  I sai dit because I thought that she has nappy hair.  I say nappy all of the time and usually it has nothing to do with hair.  I use nappy in place of nasty...like "damn that pasta was nappy" or "damn, that girl has a nappy outfit on". 

  Either way, I'm sure he offended some folks.  Howard Stern did it for years and still does. People just think it's funny.  
Mencia does it everyday on his show and people just think it's funny. I think it should be up to the company he works for if he gets fired.  They should have the say over whether 

ot not he represents the image they are trying to portray for his talk show
