Fwiw, thread.cfm?threadid=100728&messages=6 'Natty Dread' is an above the line Mudcat thread that focuses on the cultural meanings to Black women-in particular-of 'nappy hair'.

So far in that thread you'll find the lyrics to Bob Marley's song "Natty Dread", information about the meaning of the word 'natty' and the word 'dread', as well as more opinions about the Don Imus remarks as they relate to the phrase 'nappy hair'.

If you have a mind to check that thread out and post to it, please feel free to do so.
