US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice Wednesday 04 April 2007. EPA/SHAWN THEWThe toss away remark of, "nappy-headed hos." was taken as racist, sexist words setting off a firestorm of anger that also included the Secretary."I'm very glad that there was, in fact, a consequence. I think that this kind of coarse language doesn't belong anywhere in reasonable dialogue between reasonable people," Condi Rice said in an interview with syndicated radio show host Michael Medved.Rice, the first black female U.S. Secretary of State and a former college professor, said the young women Imus commented on were just students trying to do their best."It gets ruined by this disgusting -- and I'll use the word 'disgusting' -- comment which doesn't belong in any polite company and certainly doesn't belong on any radio station that I would listen to," she added on Medved's show.
