Is Imus's problem that he called the basketball team nappy headed, and that's racist, or that he called them all 'hos', and that's just downright rude regardless of race?

Stevie Wonder calls himself nappy headed.

Stevie Wonder - I Wish Lyrics

Looking back on when I
Was a little nappy headed boy
Then my only worry
Was for Christmas what would be my toy
Even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing
We were happy with the
Joy the day would bring

I don't think you can get upset with Imus calling some black women nappy headed, but calling a bunch of women whores (for no apparent reason) is wrong. But it's not racist, it's just a plain old insult.
