[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nappy is definitely inherently racist in the United States. Remember Don Imus? He was suspended because he referred to the Rutgers’s women’s basketball team as a bunch of “nappy headed hoes”. [/quote]
No, I'm AA and the word itself is not racist although I wouldn't go around calling people "nappy headed". The Imus incident happened because of the entirety of the statement. Not just the word "nappy".[/quote]

No, I’m AA and the word is absolutely as racist, inappropriate and controverdial as the other n-word for so many of the reasons explained here. Why would you attempt to excuse it? If someone casually describes my child’s hair a snappy, I have an issue. And that is me being AA and hearing it from you. There is a huge controversy over this I’m natural hair forums for black women. DCUM wouldn’t even scratch the surface on the issues associated with a black woman, her identity in American history, and why nappy carries such a strong negative connotation.

If you live in DC, you should hang out around Howard University during homecoming weekend d and let an entire community of well educated HBCU students, alumni and professors school you. It’s too much for me to address here right now but I’ll try to come back and post more.. But there are others who can share and articulate the larger issues around it that are valid.

Nappy is as controversial in r black community as b*tch or n****. Most woke AAs aren’t referring to their women as their B, their hair as nappy, and their boy as being their n.
