ironically most white men do not automatically associate the word Ho with a white woman. While I did not post it or defend it, If referring to the women in that picture as ho's offends you then maybe you should look a bit deeper at the source. Don't try to insinuate that the white men on this board are racist because they occasionally talk in a way they learned from black culture. If it's good for the goose ......
