Nappy can mean "having tightly curled hair", like that of Black person of African descent.
And "hoe" can be slang for "whore".
Ho isn't slang for whore. It's just whore pronounced with an AAVE accent. Non-rhotic accents drop rs so a word like whore comes out closer to hau or hoe.
Anne Soukhanov, U.S. editor of the Encarta Webster’s Dictionary disagrees with you.
As does Oxford dictionary
I have seen it spelled "hoe" also
I'm sure the Oxford Dictionary is intimately familiar every dialect of vernacular English spoken in America.
Treating it as a distinct word when it's a dialectical variation shows that they don't quite get it. It's like saying that buttah and budder are separate words from butter even though they refer to the same thing and the former examples are just how some dialects of English pronounce it.

Whore is still whore in non rhotic dialects. And even it originally were a local dialect variant it's now universal global slang. In fact I am amazed that League Girl isnt aware that every male rapper HAS to be flimed for MTV in his crib in his hot tub surrounded by "b*****s and hos". How she is lucky enough to escape hearing about "b*****s and hos" in pop music I dont know. But she is lucky.

I am not sure whore should be a dirty word(I know it gets used as one so I am not claiming ignorance on that), didn't it just at one point basically mean one was a prostitute? Or am I missing something.

Well where is the line drawn when it comes to someone being politically incorrect and they don't mean to be offensive, compared to when they do mean to be offensive?
For example, one time at work, a female co-worker told me that I seem like they kind of guy who would bang a woman so hard, she probably wouldn't walk right for week. She told me this at a work Christmas party, so there was alcohol involved more so, but was what she said crossing too much of a line, or is it a compliment, nothing more, even if politically incorrect?
