Remember when black folks were ready to torch CBS Radio over some comments by a certain crotchety old White radio host calling a group of college educated Black women athletes "Nappy Headed Hoes"? Remember how less than a month later a Black comedian went on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno and spoke about the same group of young women and agreed with the older White radio host and went on to say "They WERE some nappy headed women- DEM is some of the ugliest women I've ever seen in my LIFE!" Remember how the Tonight Show With Jay Leno had a ginormous audience compared with that of the old White radio host?
Remember the massive outcry to the Tonight Show Comments? *crickets*Oh you don't remember the outcry when DL Hughley went on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno to call a group of young Black women some of the ugliest women he'd ever seen in his life? *crickets*
That is because there wasn't any. The only people who pointed out the inconsistency were readers of this blog like Eddie Griffin who took to the streets to confront Mr. Hughley. All the preachers and potentates and "civil rights" leaders gave Hughley a pass and now, the NAACP is giving him a check. The NAACP has selected Hughley to host their "Image" Awards. it could be worse, they could be handing out a lifetime achievement humanitarian award to R. Kelly for his work with teen girls.
