Thread: Racist Blacks on Hot 97 (NYC Radio station)

News coverage:

Before one airing of the song, the station's news reader, Miss Info, who is of Asian descent, objected to the song, only to be attacked by Jones and her cohorts.

"That song is really offensive to me, and I opted not to involve myself," Miss Info said.

Jones replied, "I know you feel you're superior because you're Asian, but you're not." Later, co-host Todd Lyn, incensed at Miss Info's criticism, said, "I'm going to start shooting Asians."

You're sick," Councilman Robert Jackson fumed at the radio station.

Councilman John Liu said it was outrageous that the station, owned by Emmis Communications Corp., aired the song for four days before yanking it.

"It degrades the more than 200,000 victims," Liu said. "It demeans all of us here in New York City and throughout the world who are engaged in trying to help these victims of the tsunamis."

The piece was also denounced by the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations, which said it had received calls from Muslims offended by the piece.

Councilman John Liu of Flushing was joined by several colleagues and Asian American leaders who denounced the hosts, Hot 97 and its parent company, Emmis Communications.

"This is utterly irreprehensible," Liu said. "It degrades the more than 200,000 victims, it demeans all of us here in New York City and throughout the world who are engaged in trying to help these victims of the tsunami and it's an insult to humankind itself."

BTW, sorry about the thread name. Looking at it, it kinda implies a racial angle... I tried to modify the thread to "Racist Black DJ's" instead of "Racist Blacks" but I guess I can't change the thread name. The whole thing just made me so sick I wasn't thinking all that straight.

We wouldn't need women only spaces if a significant number of men wern't so damn pervy about everything....
Just my 2p

I havent seen any mens only classes existing. The womens power group will be all over it otherwise.

Ill love to see men and womens changing room though

The title of this thread is racist. Who the hell calls em "blacks" anymore?

And as for the song. Woulda been better if eminem produced it.

Sorry, forget the pervy side of things for now ok

What I meant was why is it that theres womens only class existing? Surely a womens only selfdefence class dont need taking clothes off that make mens not allowed to participate. Because yeah most mens have that pervy tendency

A friend went to a badminton class just to be turned down because its "womens only" tonite.

As jjh221 said its a misuse of freedom or shall we say a feeling of inferiority that they need to take advantade of their freedom that was given to them?

Can a racing school turn down womens? they surely get complaints in no time.
