4 everyone against Racism

I did not see this thread around...and alot of us including me dont really feel rap too much...but this is for everyone who didnt know what occured with hot 97 mourning show Miss Jones.
======================================================================
Asian Media Watch

January 21, 2005

Yet another example of racist hate radio aired on New York's Hot 97 WQHT-FM. The hosts of the "Miss Jones in the Morning" show sing a "Tsunami Song" which mocks the dead South Asian tsunami victims and uses racially derogatory words "chink" and "Chinamen," and calls the drowning victims "bitches."

Lyrics:

"There was a time, when the sun was shining bright
So I went down to the beach to catch me a tan.
Then the next thing I knew, a wave 20 feet high
Came and washed your whole country away.
And all at once, you can hear the screaming chinks.
And no one was saved from the wave.
There were Africans drowning, little Chinamen swept away.
You can hear God laughing, 'Swim you bitches swim.'

[Chorus]
"So now you're screwed. It's the tsunami,
You better run and kiss your ass away. Go find your mommy.
I just saw her float by, a tree went through her head.
And now your children will be sold. Child slavery."

The song aired twice on the "Miss Jones in the Morning" show on January 18, 2005. The radio hosts received complaints soon after the first airing of song. They responded by playing the song again, an anonymous source told Asian Media Watch.

This comes on the heels of another racially inflammatory broadcast by the self-proclaimed "haters" of the "Star and Buc Wild" morning show on Power 99 WUSL-FM Philadelphia. Radio host Star (Troi Terrain) called a customer service call center in India, threatened to "choke" the operator, and called her a "filthy rat-eater" and "bitch."

Miss Jones (Tarsha Nicole Jones) and Star (Troi Terrain) are former co-hosts on the same radio program.

As with Star (Troi Terraine), this is not the first incident in which "Miss Jones" has made racially inflammatory comments. In response to the sale of a board game called Ghettopoly which contains racially derogatory themes about Blacks, Jones enflamed an already racially charged situation by asking listeners make their own board game called "Chinkopoly" and to call-in with their own derogatory stereotypes of Asians as retaliation towards Ghettopoly's creator who is an Asian immigrant. Miss Jones advocated retaliation towards the entire Asian American community for the act of one individual despite the fact that Asian American organizations denounced the game and its creator.

Because of the host's repeated expressions of racist attitudes and disdain towards people of Asian descent, Asian Media Watch demands a formal and sincere apology from Hot 97 WQHT-FM and parent company Emmis Communications, and the elimination of the "Miss Jones in the Morning" radio program from future broadcast.

Asian Media Watch urges concerned individuals to demand an apology from New York's Hot 97 WQHT-FM and its parent company Emmis Communications, and the elimination of the "Miss Jones in the Morning" show. A complaint may be filed with the Federal Communications Commission which enforces laws prohibiting "the broadcast of indecent programming during certain hours" (including profanity). Be sure to follow the FCC's format and guidelines for filing the complaint at:

I'm not asian...but racist fucks like these surely deserve punishment...and any other ignorant racist groups.

So help out n voted...takes 5 minutes of ur life away to fight a cause thats important

Ive got an idea. How bout you just ignore the song and the racists involved in making it instead of creating a thread thus spreading it to people who normally would've never come across it??

It's more fun to victimize.

People need to stop being so fucking sensitive. If someone's been beaten up by skinheads then that's serious, but we've all had our share of prejudice and stereotypes - it's human nature, and sympathy is running low these days.

Plus we've already had SEVERAL threads about this issue in this forum - consider this an official dead horse-beating.

sorry to hear that man,

yea I was victim to religious discrimination as a kid back in Kuwait years ago. This dude smacked my head against a wall, caused me to black out for some time, because I "wasn't muslim"


on a brighter note I remember the doctor telling me I must have an unusually strong skull to withstand that...

Prejudice/bigotry/racism...whatever or however it spelt, if its left unchecked & to fester, the ultimate result is "ethnic cleansing"...I know that they can be just words but so many people allow these warped ideas & sense of superiority to go to their heads and you get the "Rawandas" to occur.Yeah its proly human nature but when thousands of people get their heads hacked off because they are different then we BETTER sympathize and DO something about it...

This is not a case of thousands of people getting their heads hacked off. This is a case of a clearly farcical radio publicity stunt, and thousands of people worldwide have demonstrated unequivocally with their unmitigated reactionism that publicity stunts like this DO WORK!! Such behaviour only serves to encourage other people to pull the same kinds of publicity stunts farther down the line.

The line for prejudice and racism should only be drawn when that prejudice is actually a violation of someone's rights. That includes physical violence and other obvious irrational racial discrimination like losing a job because you're black or Chinese. It is DEFINITELY taking matters too far when the "idea" of racism is used to promote the violation of OTHER individual rights - in this case, freedom of speech.
