Doesn't matter. You dont make fun of 200,000 (more than that actually) people who died. This prank phone call was also racist in my opinion. Have you no feelings for the woman they were making fun of?

I cant believe these human dirt are still not fired.

Somehow I doubt that phone call was set up. If it was, Sheena is a damn good actress.

I have little doubt there would be just as much outrage had the Tsunami happened in Africa and a radio station made a joke song about it calling the victims the N word.

I have NO doubt you would be outraged, hence your blatant hypocrisy.

Classy, the key to life is treating others as you would have them treat you. It is NOT treating them as your paranoid fantasies ASSume they would treat you.

The sad part is, in the face of blatant racism against a race not your own you find the unmitigated gall to pull the race card and play the victim.

And if someone wrote a parody about the genocide in Darfur, I bet you that classy would be calling the NAACP and whoever else to express his outrage.

We as asians should be proud that the only thing people can make fun of us for is a natural disaster.

I mean they gotta be scraping the bottom of the barrel for material.

Why is it always the black person or the black people who are at fault? They made a bad joke worse with the use the racial slur. It was insensitive and poor taste. Should they be fired? No. Suspended? Probably. The truth is that because a group of blacks did it now its like the damn holocaust or something. OMG!!! Lets call congress to pass a law. Give me f'in break. The station apologize and the lady apologized as well. And no, who gives a flying bleep if you don't think it is sincere. I could care less, but she did apologize and it wasn't no written stuff either. So lets hang'em like some of your boys here want to do. Yeah ok. :roll: And as far as the chinese chick is concerned, if she doesn't like the black chick and its her show, then fvcking quit. She can pack her rags and beat it. You think black stations suck, then tune your asses into some country. And I'll use the classic example. Howard Stern has as his co-host a black chick, but Howard does his thing. I am sure she doesn't agree with some of the stuff he does and he can get racial, very racial, but you never read about her bitching and whining. Its a radio program designed to get ratings and sometimes the stuff is very bad in taste as was this. Now you and the lynch mob here line up and have damn cook out for all I care, but the excessive whining like a bunch a 2 dollar HOs is because the person at fault is black. So lets make sure our judgement and punishment are at the extreme level. That's what this is all about and you know it, although you aren't man enough to admit it. And once in for all they were in the wrong, no doubt. I believe they should be suspended for 2 weeks without pay minimum, but the venom being spewed here is increased because of their color, not because of the offense.

And thats all I have to say on the matter
Sincerely
Classy Sharpton

You couldn't be further from the truth. The outrage spurs from the material, not because they happen to be BLACK. And honestly, I couldn't care less if you think my disdain for these acts is racially motivated.

They're vulgar, plain and simple.

Edit: Way to take the moral highroad with that 'country music' comment. :roll:

That apology was so fake it's pathetic. It just shows that they can pull that BS off and say "Oh yeah, we're sorry." and go RIGHT back to doing it again. Something more needs to be done (preferably by the station or its sponsors, not the government).

You are right, we don't do these things as well as your brothas and sistas:

1) We don't call our women *whores* and *bitches*.
2) We don't need Affirmative Action program just get in college. We compete fairly on our own merits.
3) Our men are not in prisons or in probation as much as your brothas.
4) Our guys don't screw as many different women as your brothas, to make as much babies as possible and then run away from responsibilty.
5) Within a few years of arrival to the US, most of us are successful, we don't need goverment handouts for generations after generations like your brothas and sistas.
6) Most of our kids have BOTH parents and SAME dad (see #4).
7) We don't cry *racist* and call Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton everytime if things don't go our way. No justice, no peace chantings are getting old.
8) We don't murder our own as your brothas (check out the crime stats of black on black violent crimes).
9) Our meals (rice, noodles) are taste better and healthier than your meals (Churchs/KFC chickens)...(from your fried rice statement).
10) We don't create the garbage music such as rap.

Yup, you are absolutely right, we only good at booksmart, and not good for anything else. We sure don't want to end up like your brothas and sistas. We gotta act *white*....LOL.

I just want you guys to know that this guy's opinion doesn't represent those of most Asians. And thanks for adding fuel to the racism fire even if it is a joke.

Dear Sir/Madam:



We respect and share in your concerns regarding the truly insensitive and inappropriate behavior of the show?s hosts and the airing of the offensive song. Please be aware that Jackson Hewitt Tax Service does not endorse or approve of such behavior and had no input or prior knowledge as to the content of the broadcast that aired last week during the ?Miss Jones in the Morning? program. In fact, we have already contacted station owners and management to express our concerns and to inform them that we have withdrawn our advertising and support from the ?Miss Jones in the Morning? program. We acknowledge that the station has posted an apology, but certainly do not believe that that is enough, considering the serious nature of this matter. Thus we have called upon the station?s owners and management to further review this program and its allowance of such behavior.



We thank you for taking the time to reach out to us on this serious matter.



Respectfully,

Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Inc. Management

Wow, Jackson Hewitt is awesome, I know where I'm taking my tax stuff to.

They can't sell enough in Asia.

That's so true. Check this article out. All my cousins in China love to eat at KFC, I think one of the world's largest KFCs is in Beijing.


Oh another note, this thread has gone downhill. People are more upset about the racial issues than about that main reason why the song is offensive, because of the insensitivity to the situation in Southeast Asia. Classy, please don't let some of these people get to you. Most of us aren't condemning all African Americans just because of what one or two people said.

Howard Stern and Robin have been working together in the business for over 20 years. They have a thing called a rapport. And yes, she has gotten upset before with some of the stuff Howard has said. The main problem I have with this clip, besides the parody not being funny at all, is just the whole presentation of it.

If Howard had played this parody on his show, I would have thought it sucked as well, and im sure the same number of people would be replying. God damn, not everything is a fcking race issue. Just because we have been posting angry comments about this clip doesnt mean we are racist. You know why? Its because they are both being a fcktard. :|

Classy you just don't get it do you. I'm sure no one here wanted to do this, but I suppose I'll have to.

All at once you could hear the screaming nig****s and no one was safe
From the tree there were slaves hanging,
Negros lynched, you could hear God laughing, "run you b*tches run"

So now you're screwed, it's the KKK
You better run or kiss your ass away, go find your mommy
I just saw her dragged by, tied to the back of a truck
And now the children will be sold to child slavery...

The song, line for line, just replacing the tsunami with slavery. I'm just as offended by either. Maybe this will help you see things from another perspective. Had a rock station aired that, I'm sure the black community would be satisfied with a suspension :roll: I'll probably even be banned for this. But that'll just prove my point. If I had anything to do with this, Miss Jones would be lucky to get to clear out her desk.

My good pal Amused posted hypocisy. I get so sick and tired of hearing a bunch bs so I decided to make a thread in thread to point out a few things. First off I said in my first post it was bad and wrong. But I also understand that what they thought was a joke turned out not be funny at all. But here is the difference.

The first post wasn't just about the disgusting song, the guy makes a point to make it known the BLACK Person did it and the argues with asian gal. So why do this. If the song sucked, it sucked, did he really have to make cliff notes to introduce the host's color


Third post down

She's just mad she didnt get her 40 acres and a mule

I listen to hot 97- Miss Info (asian) is cool, Miss Info (black) is a bitch.

Now the asian girl she's cool, but not the black one.

Let's make a lynching pardoy song

Now we're really cooking

OK we believe its racist what they did, so should we make fun of the blacks in Sudan? I know there will be riots and fat sharpton, lets get him its his fault.
Hmm NICE

We can all guess her reaction if peopel start throwing the n word around

This may be the best one. He's appalled at the use ch!nks, so what's the response? I wonder what her reaction would to the use of N!ggers.
Ok, way to fight racism dude :thumbsup: :roll:

if you're not black, wtf are you doin listening to hot 97?

Now lets annoint this guy for President :thumbsdown:

These are just a few. You can't have it both ways. Some of the cats here though did respond back nicely, but it was only a few. As I have stated many times in these here threads, which by the way only crop up when someone black does something, or AA, or Welfare, etc. You get the occasional KKK thread which usually dies quickly though. Basically blacks are blamed far to often for the social ills of America here. So why the good ole boys rush to judge, I rush to defend. I have defended all people regardless of color. I took some hits because I defend this white couple who didn't want some asians at the wedding because from the info it sounded suspicous. But its ok, unless I get revoked, my chocolate @ss isn't going any where. I argue on right on wrong and just punishment. I made one mistake I feel in my responses here over the many years and I apologized for it. But it is clear that the judgement of blacks here is full hatred, anger, and unjust venom. I may be outnumbered 90,000 to 1, but I got smarts and brains.

 

[aswedc]

Basically blacks are blamed far to often for the social ills of America here.

This is because blacks blame their social ills on racism far too often. Generalizations go both ways.

Besides, the race of the host was obviously pertinent to this issue. If it had been an Asian radio station, this would be quite a different issue.

Praising the Asian DJ isn't about race. It's about who was right and who was wrong. If a white DJ had played my "slavery" song above and a black DJ objected I guarentee you everyone here would have it out for the white guy. I'm thinking you need to take off your race blinders more than most other people here.

I have no chip, never did, never will. I address lies. And a lot of the bs I read here is just that, lies. Perfect case and example, one day somebody made a thread about serial killers. And they pointed out they almost 90% of them were white. So you know what one of the @ss clowns did, posted a study done by this white guy who through some goofy way determined blacks were the majority of serial killers or some old bs. If your looking for chips, those are the chips you should be addressing.

goddamn you're an idiot

the posts about lynch songs and sharpton weren't actual suggestions as if tommorow we were going out to air those peices on radio --- they're extreme counter-examples meant to reveal the severe retardedation of the original incident

now only you with the sh1t blinders on see this as some sort of attack out of the blue on your percieved self, my post and many others have been apt -- you have played the race card
