That's crap. Why would you resign for inadvertently offending people with a phrase you didn't know was hurtful. It would be one thing if he said something he knew was offensive that he thought wasn't being broadcast, but it turns out it did, then that would be a reason to resign. > -Original

Right. You equate honor with calling women nappy headed hoes. You have no idea of the 'intent'.You expected him *not* to apologize? How do you know what his 'intent' was? A: Yeah those white bitches are rough, they got tattoos and all! B: Yeah! Thems some rough honkey hoes for real Ha! Ha! Ha! W
