I knew exactly what you were getting at when I first glanced at the pic. and not at all surprised to see that most would generalize her immediately as a nappy headed ho. sad.
Yes DV we should definitely face our own thoughts because with me, nappy hair does not equal bad, ugly, unkempt, unclean or any of those things. We're all so tripped out on this nappy hair thing...i think she's a pretty girl and would fair better without the wacked out perm she's got on her head now.
Once again we choose to detest that which we are. Anything that appears "african" cannot be good... "Queen,captured,livestock,bedwench,niggerbitch,coon,jiggaboo,nappyheadedho" Look how far we've come. the good nurse.
I'll ask him yall.
ReplyDeleteAre we to assume this is a 'nappy headed ho?'
Thank you for covering that Robyn, because I was about to ask. :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL!!
and Dina, I didnt forget your site.
ReplyDeleteSee.
ReplyDeleteYa'll racists.
I aint say NuFFin.
How are you going to convict Don Imus for saying something you think anyway?
DV, where do you come up with this stuff?
ReplyDeleteI beg to differ.
ReplyDeleteif her hair was combed and her posture was erect and we could see her smile, she would not fit this bill.
I think that is a bit unfair.
Don't be coy and play innocent DV. :-)
ReplyDeleteHomegirl looks like she had been startled out of sleep not too long before the camera snapped that photo. Those are some dark circles under the eyes.
Coy? Innocent? Moi?
ReplyDeleteNah.
But for real
The reality is that Nappy Hair does exist.
Banning words. Firing Disc Jockey's. Harassing comedians. Not even an act of Congress is going to stop people from thinking what they think.
Only $75 and a trip to Casandra's Hair and Nails will be able to curtail this particular "defamation of black women".
DV
ReplyDeleteHer hair looks straight to me... And how do you know she is not a virgin?? Beautiful mother, daughter, wife and woman if you ask me ;)
nappy headed ho was the exact description. and unless he knows something we don't know, he is out of line.
ReplyDeleteAnd how do you know she is not a virgin?? Beautiful mother, daughter, wife and woman if you ask me ;)" Casper
ReplyDeleteI don't. That's why I never said it.

Whooaa ... pump your brakes.
I introduced neither "Nappy Head" nor "Ho".
That's your own projection. Relax the Politically Correct Compassion and face your own thoughts.
I simply responded to what was presented.
DV you are the devil's advocate to be reckoned with LOL LOL this one takes the cake! sho nuff!
ReplyDeleteyou are so far off base in your last couple of comments addressed to me that i am starting to think it it time for me to take a break.
ReplyDeletei was actually referring to what ALL of the previous commenters were referring to; Don Imus' comment.
not yours.
if you even pretended to know anything about me you would know that nappy headed ho is not anything you could find reflected from me on to any woman.
ever.
be well.
DV = Genius.

Firing Don and supressing our right to express ourselves (even via rap music) ain't gone change the way we think!
ReplyDeleteI always say be happy with your nappy. As far as the pic... one word comes to mind. Bedraggled.
ReplyDeletenappy headed crack ho.

how's that?
Actually Erica, this was a little experiment.
This lady is Ms. Florence Adeoti, M.D of Nigeria and a graduate of Columbia University.
She is a single woman with no children.

ReplyDeletethe good nurse.
She's cute as hell, too.
ReplyDeleteOk, in this context, y'all gonna misinterpret "hell".
ReplyDeleteNo, really. She's extremely cute. Look closely at her face.
