Last thing on Imus

So apparently the reason why it is okay for Dave Chapelle, Chris Rock, Edie Murphy and all of gangster rap to use the words "nappy headed" "hos" and "nigger" is because they are black and it is insider humor. Which is totally valid. Reclaiming a word and reappropriating it is a powerful tool.
There is only one problem with this.
Dave Chapelle, Chris Rock, Edie Murphy and all of gangster rap are MEN.
Which means there is nothing "insider" about insulting women. It's just misogyny.
