First we had the Chicken Noodle Soup.......now the new dance craze is The Nappy Headed Ho!
This next story serves as a cornerstone example as to why I converted to conservatism. I suspect many people of color will eventually come to the same conclusion that myself and Mr. Starks have arrived at-an aspect of African-American culture jumped the shark many years ago. It appears that due to Black folk not speaking up and allowing a ghettoized media perception to reign supreme without a counterbalance, Whites have become enamored with a new toy-the nappy headed ho phrase.
Case in point, in two separate incidents involving NYC police brass, 4 female police officers (of Black and Latin descent) were called the infamous remark coined by Don Imus by police superiors. This indignation occurs when Black folk, to coin a phrase from blogger, Morris O'Kelly (of EURweb) opt for rightness as opposed to righteousness. Although the disrespect in the matter with the aforementioned female officers is unconscionable, Whites have now cornered people of color in a hypocritical paradox. This conundrum relates to a Black urban (and unfortunately not urbane) cultural standard that permeates and defines our existence. The time for excuses has ended. Time for cultural reorganization and new ideas with an emphasis on Black pride. One can only hope. For more on the "nappy" police officer remarks, click on the link below:
