The real endangered minority is Don Imus’ audience: the average white heterosexual Christian American.

When Don Imus referred to a Black women’s basketball team as “nappy headed hos” he was using the Black rapper term (“hos”) that CBS-owner Viacom has helped make part of the vernacular.
Viacom, also owns MTV and VHS which plays this rap music. Viacom also owns “Famous Music,” which publishes and markets the work of hip-hop and rap artists who portray Black women as “bitches” and “hoes.” A cursory search yielded this couplet from Rapper “Cadillac Tah”:
Bitches come, bitches go
But little do they know we don’t love them ho’s (“Come and Go”)
So Imus is double victimized by CBS’s owners. First they popularize a derogatory expression, and then they fire him for using it.
It is so common that Imus’ sidekick actually introduced it into the conversation:
Imus: That’s some rough girls from Rutgers. Man, they got tattoos and —
McGuirk: Some hard-core hos.
Imus: That’s some nappy-headed hos there. I’m gonna tell you that now, man, that’s some — woo. And the girls from Tennessee, they all look cute, you know, so, like — kinda like — I don’t know.
Imus transgressed because Blacks can call their women “hoes,” but Whites have to treat them with kid gloves, as an endangered species. (They are a privileged subset of another endangered minority, women.)
These Anti-White Male prejudices were apparent when the CBS President, Leslie Moonves, one of the Original Persecuted Minority (upon which all others are modeled), announced he was firing Imus.
