The New "N-Word"

Nappy. There, I said it.

I’d love to wax eloquent on the current state of race relations in America, but I’d end up being labeled racist and just use all the cliches that everyone else is using.

Bottom line is this - it is absolutely ridiculous that Don Imus has been dropped from MSNBC, and surely will lose his radio job as well. A five minute apology, and then let’s all move on.
