A Hoe is actually a garden tool, used to chop weeds so good plants can grow, most effective when kept sharp. The black ghetto community seems to use it to mean a cheap woman of little worth. Perhaps black men see their women as being useful cultivators in the garden of life, best when very sharp, but I suspect calling one's girlfriend a Hoe is some kind of insult.
