Remembering “Nappy Headed Hos”

Hard to believe it’s been 17 years already since the infamous Don Imus incident. Even harder to believe that Howard Stern called out his racism, considering some of the things that Stern has previously said on air.

😆 Why OP why.

Not that anything excuses such behavior, but what was the context? I mean, what prompted some ancient, crusty old geezer to just insult young college women out of the blue like that?

I was in hs when it happened. I remember the uproar it caused, but never knew the full story behind it.

R2 He was a shock jock trying to be outrageous.

OP what made you randomly make this thread?

by Anonymousreply 4October 22, 2024 5:14 AM

R2 He’s racist.

And I remember his excuse was “that’s what they call each other”.

R5 Nah he tried to blame it on Spike Lee.

I hope that cunt doesn’t come on here and claim I made this thread btw. I just thought about it.

Stern & Imus had a long-running feud which may well have informed Howard’s response.

Nobody cares about you or your other personae, Teafake @R7.

Stern never really punch down if you think about it.

Imus looked like a monitor lizard in a cowboy hat.

Ah, a walk down memory lane. A relatively short time after, Michael Richards/Kramer from Seinfeld would launch into a “racist rant” in the early days of ubiquitous phones with video everywhere. An apology tour then ensued. Little did I realize this would all become far more commonplace.

It really is uncanny, r11.

“I can smell that nappy pussy!”

What happened to his wig?

Shock jock = a person who is bitter about being born with a face for radio.

Do we have thread discussing Howard Stern's ridiculous and hypocritical multi year "makeover" of his persona from gross, toilet humored, perverse shock jock to bland, Art Linkletter interviewing children milquetoast?
