Nappy-headed ho jokes are too soon when makes them, but anything controversial is fair game for Chris Rock. He joked about Don Imus’s signature phrase at the , and stole the spotlight of Wanda Sykes, who he was supposed to be honoring.
Chris Rock got a huge laugh at the Gracie Allen Awards Monday night by walking out and asking, “How you nappy headed hos doing?”
Rock, at the black-tie event to present an award to fellow HBO comic Wanda Sykes, went on to explain, “You know, when rappers are talking about hos in records, they’re really talking about hos. Not talking about Oprah … They like hos.”
And hos are everywhere, he said. “There’s hos in this room right now. You can’t tell who they are ’til it’s late. They’re kind of like Canadians — they fit right in with everybody else.”
By the time Sykes came on to claim her Gracie, she seemed to have no comic ammunition left. “You said nappy headed ho,” she told Rock. “I got nothing.”
Wanda Sykes winning an award for her comedy and saying “I got nothing” is the equivalent of me closing a post about Beyonce and Jay-Z’s wedding or Barack Obama winning the Democratic nomination with “Cool.” Someone take that award away from her!

Why is Wanda getting an award??? She’s a caricature of a black woman. I mean, that voice alone sets us back 50 years. I hate her.
[…] Chris Rock plays the “nappy-headed ho” card. What, too […]
So Black women have no one to defend our honor? A white man insults us, and Black men leap at the opportunity to insult us even more. I’m speechless.
I bet if the tables where turned, and Black men were being insulted with the aid of Black women. Black women everywhere would be getting metaphorically stoned to death. Just wanted to highlight the sexism within the Black community.
black_ivy_grad —It’s a fuckin joke! Don’t take it so seriously.
