Very superstitious writing on the wall.

Icons and Signs

"Like the allusions to a portentous sign in the old African American spiritual "Handwriting on the wall", the graffiti that began to cover virtually everything in New York in the late 1970s prohesied a sociological shift in this urban landscape, from an environment of suppressed disorder, to an atmosphere of virtual chaos and decline. But rather than being emblematic merely of society's ills, these ink, marker scrawls and spray paint "tags"-Produced mostly by Latino and African American youth-transmitted information, such as neighborhood boundaries, social ranlings, artistic nom de plumes, and even creativity itself."

Just so we are clear, you nappy headed....

...ho!
After a couple days of hearing people talk about, and hundreds of news reports talk about don imus and why he's being fired
Hes being fired cuz what he said was innapropriate and offensive..but,"nappy headed hoes" nor is "hard core hoes " a racist slur.....

What was racist and intolerable was the commentary sid rosenburg made in reference to a spike lee movie "school daze"...and saying that the rutgers players were like" the jiggaboos and wannabes"

What was actually said...

What sid rosenburg was referencing

.....If don imus is fired should sid rosenburg be fired as well?
How could everybody miss the jiggaboo comment?..on purpose i suppose..

Holla black
