Coming up this week on DR. BLOGSTEIN’S RADIO HAPPY HOUR: (Live on Tuesday May 13th at 9PM ET and forever archived at BlogTalkRadio.)

Its going to be a wild hour when Dr. Blogstein and Dangerous Lee host three highly controversial authors. If you’re a closeted gay hip hop artist, American woman or political figure, I’d recommend you skip this show!

First, Terrance Dean, a former MTV producer and hip hop exec who is about to release a book that will ‘out’ some of the biggest names in music and Hollywood. While “Hiding in Hip Hop” doesn’t name names, it doesn’t take Ben Matlock to figure out who Dean is claiming to be on the “down low.”

We’ll press Dean for names, find out why he wrote this book and explore hip hop’s deepest, darkest secrets.

Then, author Michael H. Brown will tell us why “American Women are Crazy“. Brown promises that by telling us about his experiences, he’ll save men “a mountain of grief, a ton of money, and the myriad of hassles known in American marriage today.”

Will he convince Dr. B to marry a Russian woman from a catalog? Will he convince Vinny Bond not to attempt marriage again? Will he survive the wrath of Dangerous Lee?

Also, searing political commentary from cartoonist and author Jen Sorenson, whose “Slowpoke” comic strip is published weekly in over 20 alternative newsweeklies throughout America and new book, “Slowpoke: One Nation, Oh My God!“, is currently on sale.

As if all that isn’t enough, we’ll also find out what its like to meet “Philsquatch” and hear a new remix of “Radio Jesus” courtesy of DJ Reasons.

All that plus , Vinny in the Radio Happy Hour Lounge chatting live with the listeners, Justin the Weatherman and we’ll take your calls at 646-652-4804

Join us live every Tuesday night at 9PM ET. The Radio Happy Hour Lounge-a live chat room during show time-is a whole new reason to make sure you listen live! It’s the show within the show!

Well, it took about ten days, but finally the phrase “nappy headed hos” is funny and a viable punch line.

On April 4 Don Imus mumbled the phrase when speaking about the Rutgers Women’s Basketball team. It was over in about 1.1 seconds and then the sound of his garbled, old-man voice muttering those words disappeared into the atmosphere where now, going by the speed of sound, those words are approximately 293,760,000 million miles away–or 3 times the distance that exists between between the Earth and Sun.

But as Hans Solo and C3PO are just now hearing Imus say “nappy headed hos” in a galaxy far, far away, we’ve heard it about thousand additional times.

We’ve heard Matt Lauer say it and we’ve heard Al Sharpton say it. We’ve heard our local news anchors say it and we’ve heard the deli guy say it. Its been said for 10 days at water coolers all across the country. We’ve heard white people say it and we’ve heard black people say it and now we may hear someone in the Dagobah system say it.

The point is, its been heard so much over the past ten days that it hardly means anything anymore. We’ll be seeing it on t-shirts, as a name of a band and countless guys have probably already renamed their fantasy baseball teams “The Nappy Headed Hos.” Google gives you about 2,370,000 results when you search for “nappy headed hos”!

Instead of condemning it and moving on, we’ve harped on it. We’ve repeated the phrase to the point that we don’t mind the phrase anymore–in fact, we may start hearing it on the street and in our music. We may start to use “nappy headed ho” as a term of endearment.

If a word or phrase is so hurtful and so damaging then stop saying it. Stop drawing attention to it. And, above all, stop introducing to people who haven’t heard it yet.
