<< do not think the killer for Imus was using the phrase "nappy headed".
It was -
1. His naming those young gals "hos".>>

His thought process should have been would I call them "hos" without the "nappy headed" lead in.

When challenged, XXXXXX became arrogant and stupid. He issued a weak and unacceptable apology.

XXXXXX needed to acknowledge and be sorry for the hurtful insult and the bruises his words inflicted, not merely the fact that he said those words.


The same reasoning applies to --

xxxxxx = Nifong

Nifong will likely and deservedly suffer the same fate as Imus.

Nope, blood was in the water. Sharks are incapable of backing off once committed to a feed. [changing metaphores here] Sharpton had his heart set on counting another coup.

Then requested their forgiveness, He might have survived.

This is the classy way to apologize and long forgotten.

"When a man insults a woman, even inadvertently, he incurs an obligation to apologize to that woman and the sooner the better.

Angrily issuing a sideways apology to a third person has never and will never cut it."
