35. White America's favorite excuse
see threads about the Don Imus and Michael Richards incidents. "We're not really racists, we can use those words because the rappers do!" The "Stevie did it, too!" excuse--how original, NOT! :eyes: I dare one of those guys to name a current rapper.

In the Imus incident, a survey of lyrics shows that the phrase "nappy headed ho's" does NOT appear. Never happened! Closest was a Stevie Wonder song, and the phrase was "I was a little nappy-headed boy" from the song "I Wish".
