UPDATED: Rick Delgado and Todd Lynn Fired, Others Suspended Two Weeks

Good news. Miss Jones and her "Chinknoply" is a BIGOT...She needs to be fired as well. Maybe they need her to to keep the ratings up while she attacks more asians.

Tell Miss Jones to go see a dentist. Rascist.

I wonder why HOT97 is protecting Miss Jones.

asian didnt diss ya nigga when ya when krasy n shot up D.C. so why ya dissin' on our families

Now, im having a good day. Very good indeed. Don't let up my brothers. Lets keep on the pressure. Don't let anyone get away with this.

That's great that they fired Todd Lynn but Miss Jones should have been first!!! We gotta keep putting pressure on them to get rid of her.. Why would they keep her ignorant/racist ass on the radio???

One small step.... so many more to go...

now we're getting somewhere!!

i agree. miss jones should be the first to get her ass fire. i bet shes the one that started this whole bullshit in the first place. dont just cut the bad flowers, they needa pull out the bad seed.

Jay, Is it possible to post this on the main page? Thanks!

My t-shirt co made some T-Shirts about the Hot 97/Tsunami issue, buy your shirt today! 100% of the profits goes to the UNICEF Tsunami Relief Fund. Please spread the word so we can raise as much money as possible and turn a negative into a positive. Although we are fighting the struggle against HOT 97, we can't forget about the people on the otherside of the world that are fighting a struggle on some whole other next shit.

Jin's website has just posted info about the shirts also.

The shirts are at: www.MuckItTees.com

We have had a great start raising money through these shirts. So thanks to everyone who has supported the cause and donated to the people who really need it. If you cant buy one, tell a friend about the shirts or please make a donation to www.unicefusa.org.

Can someone post all the Hot 97 email addresses again? We gotta keep emailing them until they fire EVERYONE involved!

miss jones must carry some significant weight at the station (no pun intended)...either that or she's sleeping w. one of the head guys which is of course a possibility

Do you suppose they are firing him just to see if this will shut us up?

Shit Todd, yo wanna talk bout starting shooting asians? If u want me, come n get me! I got 8 shot like my cuz Chia Vang n ill be glad to empty da whole click in yo face!

fubabee, thats why we should keep doing what we've been doing until they fire the people involved with the song. they aren't off the hook until there are more shakeups. keep the letters coming. hit the sponsors. hit them in the pocket. i'm sure emmis is worried shitless about their stocks.

What will we do if we hear Miss Jones on air again?

here ya go... email all of the Emmis top executives and ask them why the hell did they not fire ms. jones? the one who encouraged her listeners to make a game called "chinkopoly." she needs to go... she should have been the first to go!

E-mail all of Emmis corp. executives:

jsmulyan@emmis.com (ceo)
ir@emmis.com
rcummings@emmis.com
jsteele@emmis.com
khealey@emmis.com

FIRE MISS JONES!

AND THIS DOESN'T STOP AT HOT 97 EITHER... LET THIS MADNESS BEGIN... TO TAKE OVER THE AIRWAVES... AND BRING IT BACK TO THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE...

I'm bettin they keeping ms jones cuz they can't find talent to replace the morning show.

Bring back Dr Dre and Ed lover! And get rid of the crap that's called ms jones and the morning show.

That's why I've moved to Power 105 longtime.

Thanks for posting those email addresses... I just emailed all of them.. Let's keep the pressure on them to fire Miss Jones!

why is todd lynn the only one to be fired? At least he made an attempt at reconciliation and tried to apologize (a pathetic one). That fat ass bitch jones won't talk to anybody..probably too busy eating. Once she comes back on the air i'm sure she'll get back to trying to start another race war btwn asians and blacks. Fucking nasty ass bitch needs to go down

that's why we can't stop now! they fired him in hopes that everyone will back off... we all know that's not good enough!

Help us compile an official list of demands against Hot 97 and Emmis with the #1 demand being: FIRE MISS JONES!

If you're in support of this demand, please e-mail Sarabeth at strujillo@asianmediawatchdog.com!!

good look out. i'm glad that there is some people out there thats on the ball. i've been looking around and no one seems to update you on whats going on.

Why don't all you f'n hipocrits shut the f' up. I swear I have never seen so much stupidity in all my life.

By following your moronic posts "NO ONE IN THE WORLD SHOULD EVER MAKE A JOKE OR LAUGH AT A JOKE IF THAT JOKE MAKES ANY REFERENCE TO RACE, COLOR, RELIGION OR DISABILITY"

That means every person who has ever laughed at a fat joke, a retard joke, a black joke, an asian joke or ANY JOKE should lose there job, livelihood and life.

Well, I hope if ANY of you ever laugh at a joke at another persons expense (alive or dead) I hope you get cancer, lose your jobs, have no way of making a living and hope you suffer thru a long and painful death.

Ted- Why did you even bother posting that? It's not about a simple joke that was misunderstood.. Yes, you're right about fat/ retard/ asian jokes... People laugh at those.. The problem is that their joke was about thousands and thousands of people that died and child slavery... Stop wasting your time if you don't agree with what's going on here!

why is todd the only one fired?

miss jones is way worse than todd.

Ted-

Really ... don't be a fool. You know full well what this outrage is about so please keep quiet if you have nothing intelligent to say.

A fat joke and a song about the death of thousands of poverty-stricken people. That's totally the same.

Miss Jones has a history of hateful comments about Asians. And, racism aside, she's never been funny. She always seemed like a hostile woman. And now she definitely isn't drawing in listeners nor is she getting sponsors. They can keep trying to make it look as if she had nothing to do with the song, but the way she was defending her right to like it to Miss Info ON THE AIR, plus her "superior" comment, plus the "chinkopoly" history she's got... Protesters aren't just going to get tired one day and tune to Miss Jones again.

While firing Todd Lynn is a good start, it will not placate us. They must clean house of everyone involved on the air AND off.

Furthermore, we must make sure that this bulls!#t racism they've been foisting on the public does not return to their airwaves.

The Star and Buc should be the next focus. Their sad bigoted attempts at humor are no more worthy of the airwaves than the crap we've been hearing on Hot97.

New York has to stand up once and for all and let these radio stations know racism and bigotry are not funny. Just play the music and shut the f#!k up!

maybe he wasnt fired but was just saying that to get people to stop protesting

ted you're an idiot.

there's a difference between racial humor and racism. the reason people are angry at hot 97 is not because of poor humor. it's because of racism. don't get me wrong, i frickin' LOVE racial humor. it can be the funniest type of humor if done non maliciously. dave chappelle and south park are examples of good racial humor.

how do u make sure your humor isn't malicious?
1) be of the same race. it's not right, but people generally immediately assume it's a joke if you're the same race as what you're dissing.

2) attack everyone. this is how south park and dave chappelle do their thing. equal opportunity racial humor.

3) have it so blatant that it's obviously satire. ie blackpeopleloveus.com. even then some people didn't catch the satire.

What was on hot 97 was not racial humor. it was racism.

todd lynn being fired is only the first step. todd lynn, miss jones, and the producers that gave the tsunami song their blessing needs to go. someone higher up either sanctioned this or gave it his/her/their blessings. they're equally as responsible.

these firings WILL NOT fix racism, but it's a step in the right direction. it will set a precedent and hopefully media outlets will be more careful about spreading racism to the public.

note i do NOT want to see racial humor taken out of the picture completely, but usually it's pretty obvious what constitutes racial humor and what constitutes racism. an easy way to tell is to replace the questionable racism with your own race and circumstances. if it offends you, then it's probably racism.

You people are all missing the point. 150,000 slanty-eyed people IS FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!

BC, well said. agree.

Mike, now that is some funny shit I didn't get. What's so funny about slanty-eyed? There are alotta black girls with slanty eyes too. How are they funny. Can u post a picture of you so i can judge by the way you look?

You ignorant pricks seriously should lay off this crap. What's the point in riling up the rest of us who are honestly offended by the song? Why are you taking the time to piss us off? Would you be laughing if you'd had a cousin who'd been in the area? Wouldn't you have felt the same fear that a lot of us felt about our loved ones' well-being? May God forgive you for being a waste of our air.



By the way, I really don't think that this should be a racial issue, per se. The fact that they could make light of the deaths of thousands of people, regardless of color, is just inexcusable. And I'm willing to bet that if one of their family members had gone through a tragedy as devastating as the tsunami disaster, they'd be a lot less quick to run their mouths.



Honestly, some people just can't feel goddamn sympathy for anyone other than themselves, which is why hell exists; for pricks like the Tsunami Song creators or the pricks who are hounding this forum.

it is precisely to set a precedent. in chinese there's a saying that translates "kill one to warn a hundred" which seems absolutely necessary if anything like this is to be prevented in the future. since Lynn put himself in that position, he fucked up and now has to face the consequences. executing a scapegoat restores peace to a society.. and let's not forget what Lynn said on the show.

Todd Lynn was probably first to get fired cause he spoke out, where as Miss Jones is still keeping her big mouth shut --- if only she learned to do that in the first place, she would have saved herself a whole lotta trouble.

And to the people who think this shit if funny, or to Ted, this isn't a joke. Would the death of your family and having your whole life destroyed be funny? If you do, then you got greater issues then this Tsunami song. You need to get a reality check before you can tell us "f'n hipocrits shut the f' up".

PS. You spelled HYPOCRITES incorrectly. Maybe you should learn to spell before you call people out for "moronic posts".

The Bigot Jones's gotta go!! Letting Lynn go was a positive step, but Jones was the host of the show at the time and its contect was her responsibility. But she had the gut to play it four times... and she said she didn't know? What about her history of racist comments? It's a wonder that HOT97 tolerated her that long! I think anyone funny and not noisy mena will be so much easier on the ears every morning.

it's fitting how such an adamant miss jones supporter should sound so ignorant, superficial, and unintelligent. i genuinely hope the rest of her supporters are like that too...

it appears that for every one politically active and socially conscience person, there are at least ten ignorant people trying to marginalize what equal rights activists have done from the start...

but please keep in mind that responding to hate with hate only keeps the cycle going. there's nothing wrong with callin people out for what they are, but don't allow anger to lower yourself down to a level that requires the same petty insults they throw at you. eventually, we should hope to understand why they are that way so we can educate them in a way they'll understand. now That's progress...

Todd Lynn was fired because he spoke out about it and actually tried to tell people what was going on. The station is playing games thinking we'll settle.

this is excellent news about todd lynn getting fired. he is also represented by steinberg agency. contact them and make sure this racist idiot never works again. now we just gotta keep the pressure on. write to hot 97 and thank them for getting rid of lynn--but they must not stop there. keep up the pressure. all, we are getting somewhere.

If they don't let Miss Jones go now they will live to regret it. She has already proven to have a deep rooted hatred towards Asians. Between the "Chinkopoly" incident at her last position, now this, she is going to be gunning for Asians.

I used to listen to her when she was on with Star and Buc and trust me, she does not know how to control her temper.

not being funny, but to all them pricks who are taking the piss outa something so tragic, you really do need to think about how u would feel if this shit was said and something ad happened to a relative of urs or something, jason is well right, to all u c*nts who are even so much as finkin of posting in another racist comment, think about why ur doing it, and ull realise that its just bcoz ur a racist, cold hearted, waste of life c*nt, how would u like it if ur cousin was found or feared dead?

to all them people whose been supporting the tsunami chairties and all, i gotta say thanks as i feel that everyone should help out on this one

yo, i think this news is awesome.

but i think it sucks how many people want to trash someone for being racist... by using their gender. oppressions are linked. there's a shit-ton of sexism in this thread about racism. racism is a huge problem that affects all of us (and yes, there's no such thing as a 'racial' joke -- 'race' as a concept is inherently tied to oppression). but sexism is also a huge problem that affects all of us. let's just not shoot ourselves in the feet like that.

Let me ask the question that I hope all of you are asking BEFORE your posting.. Are you going after Todd Lynn and Miss Jones for being racist or for having the gall to mock thousands of people who died in a natural accident?

I ask this because if your focus is on racial issues, your fight is too vauge and will be forgotten. Besides which a poster here pointed out a very real thing... everyone has laughed at a joke that wasn't PC and if it comes from someone that is treating it as equal oppurtunity is even better. Are you telling me that the only way im going to have humour in the am is to laugh at lil kids doing silly things (until they start clamoring for equal rights too). Star and Buc are equal oppurtunity even though they take it a bit too far at times. But to crusade against such a target is senseless. Im not saying don'tgo after everyone involved but at some point you have got to focus on those that are the worst of the lot.

maybe Belve didnt listen to the song..

since when is it ok to have derogatory comments about a race on public airwaves ok? i dont hear anybody on tv or radio saying the word n*gger...

miss jones should just die. the end

There is no way they can let miss jones go when STAR and BUC are back on the airwaves over at Power 105.1. That is the reason the Tsunami skit went as far as it did. Star and Buc pose a serious threat to the stations ratings. Wendy Williams already made it neccessary for angie martinez to shift her show so she could keep some of her crowd. I'm sure she isn't happy about the "Gangsta Hour" Wendy has added in the last couple of weeks.

My bet is that miss jones will be back and if she does return tune into Star and Buc. The show still has it's edge but it is a lot more thought provoking then miss jones will ever be. If you've listened to her show you know she isn't very bright The continuous airing of the skit at her request proves it.

Why did she think this would blow over? The president was put on blast for not being financially supportive of the Tsunami disaster and you see he turned that shit around on the quickness. But I'm sure she doesn't pay attention to the news unless it has anything to do with the music industry. She thought the Tsunami was the government's fault.

CHICKEN!

What Jason Wu said earlier is poignant: it's not just a case of racism. The fact at all that Hot97 chose to make a tragedy into farce is disturbing to say the least. Has entertainment devolved into such a bread and circuses act that they have to stoop to the lowest common denominator just to get ratings?

And I think what Belve is saying is that you need to focus on the worst of the lot. Ms. Jones and anyone else invoved have to go, period. But Lynn's already been fired; there's no reason to ostracize him further (as one person has already suggested). Target those who need to be fired and send the message to Hot97 that this sort of behavior will not be tolerated, but let it end there or else this may turn into a witch hunt...and as anyone who has followed history knows, witch hunts never work and have a nasty way of backfiring.

You're going to point out a typo on a hip hop website.....jenblaze...ARE YOU THAT IGNANT! (I spelled it that way on purpose so you could read it)

If I listen to what you idiots say here in posts following mine then let me surmise this for you....

Richard Pryor : Racist (made fun of white people)
Eddie Murphy : Racist (made fun of white people including a dead white guy named Elvis Presley)
Chris Rock : Racist (made fun of white people)
every comic, every comedic movie and every funny song ever done.... if ANYONE was offended ( alive or dead) the person behind it should be destroyed!

Oh and let me include all the Jewish jokes (millions exterminated in Nazi Germany) all the African jokes (miilions being exterminated right now) every black joke (millions killed) and lets not forget the Cathloic jokes (priests loves f'n those kids).

In Comedy EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING is FAIR GAME! You think just because something hits close to home to you its off limits....sorry...wrong!

My family has black and puerto ricans as well as irish and mexican and I laugh at all the jokes. My aunt belongs in a mental institution and guess what....crazy lunatic people jokes are funny. I have fat people in my family and guess what...fat jokes are funny.

What needs to STOP is all this political correctness shit! Todd said he was going to "start shootin' asians"...well guess what....I've heard him say he was goin' shoot rappers, blacks, anyone who came after him but it was said in the context of what they were talking about and NOBODY took it seriously.....why??? Because this is an ENTERTAINMENT SHOW.

It is the Asian Media Watch and other special interests groups like this you people all complain about but they are the first ones you call when it serves you.

I heard the N*gga word on that station all the time...from hosts, guests, artists and in the music. And if the "N" word is okay then "ALL SLANG WORDS SHOULD BE OKAY"!

I've heard the words Spic, Cracker, Coon, Jew, Roundeye, Gook (said repeatedly by Miss Info in describing herself) Retard, Bitch and I'm sure countless others on this station and others.....all derogatory but not done with malicous hate and that is the BIG DIFFERENCE!

During the Miss Jones/Miss Info fight AT NO TIME DID I HEAR MALICOUS HATE....just an honest argument about how someone felt about someone else. All I heard was HONESTY.....something maybe you people on this board should look into.

Wouldn't it make sense to replace jones w. someone larger than star & buc ??

To all the supports, why bother arguing with these idiots on here? We know why we do what we do, they can't sway us with their moronic post. Don't let them get to you. For some odd reason there are people out there who think that their blantly racist comments will deter us from our cause.

I've let them get to me enough, I just scroll past their stupidity.

IGNORE THEM and they will go away.

Agreed with Ming, Why fight the little poeple here, when there are so many more bigger issues to deal with??

all you heard was honesty?..damn TED you dumber than i thought after your intial posts which is pretty fucking hard to believe. It was honesty up until the point she brought race into the whole mix w/that dumbass comment about Miss Info acting superiorbecause she's asian. I guarantee you if Miss Info said some shit like call her a monkey or something even related to a stereotype like go drink a 40 or eat some chicken wings, you know her asian ass would be fired and crucified. EVERYTHING IS FAIR GAME??..9/11 was fair game? Be real when you say anything is fair game. You mean whatever tragedy doesn't happen to or in America. Everybody but blacks are fair game when it comes to racial insensitivies. We're not talking about just jokes here Ted, I'm talking about the straight up racism that Miss Jones displayed. Were we making jokes when that little preschool black kid shot that white girl a couple years back or other extremely tragic incidents such as that? Now go write another lame ass attempt of a comeback to this post and make yourself seem more ignorant than you already are.

Shouldn't they fire Miss Jones because of the argument she was having with Info. She's good at saying what she wants to say, but horrible at making sense. Not a very good radio personality. Just my 2 cents. She got mad at Info for not participating and now she's paying for participating. She should definitely be fired if Todd Lynn did because they both had the same roles.

You are absolutely right Ceelo in saying if Todd has been fired so should miss jones. Who she really is came out when she had that "discussion" with ms. info. And she is a terrible HOst.

thanks Ted someone with commom sense. I guess lets fire everyone for making jokes. how about we ban jokes no more jokes!! becauses asains are too sensitive. people get a life losers.

That's right "ted blows" EVERYTHING IS FAIR GAME!

You're probably a dumb twat....and so if anyone has a dumb twat joke I'd love to hear it.

And Ceelo, if you argue with someone at work should you be fired? According to your thought process yes.

Btw: considering it is Miss Jones' show (called Miss Jones in the Morning) I find it refreshing that she was confident and HONEST enough to have this fight on the air as opposed to just waiting till after the show and firing Miss Info...which IMO should have been done long ago.

I personally think its ridiculous how "Ted" tries to back up "Miss Jones and her morning show" by giving us examples of comedians. Eddie Murphy who poked fun at Elvis Presley? How long ago did Presley die? This hurts 200,000 times more. People are still seaching for their loved ones. I don't see anything funny in that. If your ancestors were alive, they'd kick you in the ass for thinking child slavery was funny, something they've been fighting agaisnt for so damn long.

If everything is so humorous to you, maybe you should just close down this browser and surf elsewhere. We're all speaking our mind, its seems your mind got issues.

If they agreed to fire todd, then that means they have admitted that they are guilty. Just remember, recently a professor from Denver was forced to resign because he called the wtc victims nazi's. The tsunami trajedy is on a bigger magnitude than wtc. (200,000 death vs. 5,000 deaths).

why would he actually call to say he was fired? is this update real? seems too good to be true.

If Miss Jones had made a song about the 9/11 tragedy, she would have been fired before her show ended for the day... Why is it that she knew not to touch that one, but the tsunami disaster was okay? This is not "just an Asian thing..." This is about people who continually make racist comments (yes they are racist, it does not matter that they make fun of everyone).

Does anybody know any dumbass twat jokes? Haha..you a fucking nerd Ted. Now go back and think of another one.

+200K losing their lives is fair game? youre a joke Ted. i hope somebody makes a song about your dead parents or family members so you realize how fucked up the tsunami song was. you have as much cred as jones, NONE AT ALL.

paul... Yes I did listen to the song {thanx only to Jay.. since I stopped listening to Hot97 aways back.
But maybe you want to read what I said again, stayed focused on what we are going after and make it a reasonable goal. Are you telling me you haven't heard the word ni**er or its good cousin ni**a on the radio or on TV. Shame on you for not listening. The thing that has caused the real impetus for action is the comments about the tsunami vitcims. Think for a second. How long has that show been attacking different ethnic groups or races?

That is something that the sponsers can justify as comedy.. is it wrong? yes but then again as ted points out (ted dont get happy cause most of your statements are idiotic) other comedic artist have always used race issues without much fuss.

I say stay on this group AND be focused on the best way to get them out. If you go after anything else you will soon run into the great and wonderful worlf of "comedic license"

side note: I can't spell very well so hold off on using that tactic to attack my POV.

I gotta say you guys did a great job in the east.
However, there's still a lot of people doesn't aware of this in mid west and west coast.. I lives in Arizona and I found out that not many people close to none knows about this, also my friends lives in south CA and none of them knows about it until I told them. I am just thinking if we can get those main stream media's attention than the wheel would really turning.. brcause of this date this is still unknown to most of americans. what hot 97 is doing is wait fot it to die down, and if this keep away form the mass this will dies down eventually so I think we should start a plan and let it hit big.

I don't see why they won't fire her...she's dumb...tarshit jones...

Are you telling me you haven't heard the word ni**er or its good cousin ni**a on the radio or on TV. Shame on you for not listening. The thing that has caused the real impetus for action is the comments about the tsunami vitcims.
=================================================

people here are mainly targeting how they attacked the tsunami tragedy more than the racial slurs used. people are just taking the opportunity to kill 2 birds with one stone. and why not? as for the nigger or nigga word, i've always had a problem with it. its ignorant how some black people think its okay to use it (only by blacks of course).

Miss Jones seeks to hide behind the structure of
corporate hiphop station WQHT(cold 97).Any radio
and tv outlet that would promote bigotry,insensitive thoughts and nonsense
lyrics deserve not only all involved being
fired also to be pressured in all other
endeavors until the corporate sponsors stop
using tactics of hate to fuel ratings.I'm
looking forward to receiving the Cd's after my
contribution on the Underground Railroad,especially the Public Enemy Revolution
CD mix.

Peace and blessings to Jay Smooth,Kuttin Kandi,
Emskee,and Immortal Technique for stating the
facts!!

Ted, why don't we meet up, so I can call you stupid in person. Then tell you it's a joke. After that, I'll bust your ass. Then tell you it was entertaining. To each their own. We don't find the incident funny. To all you talk shit asian haters... NYC LES, Ctown... Bring it! I'll go Malcolm X on you.

Ted,

There is a difference between an ethnic/racial joke and a racist joke. Please tell me you understand what the difference is. There is also a matter of respect, human decency and diginity that we as people must show for the 200,000+ deaths in the Tsunami tragedy and its aftermath. Please tell me you understand this. Let me ask you, do you fell it's "fair game" to joke about 9/11 and the people who perished? If you do, then there's no longer a need to have this discussion with you any further since you are clearly disturbed.

Belve, I agree with you for the most part, but I feel this case goes beyond just making fun of an ethnic group. It's true the words ni**er and ni**a are loosely thrown around today, but one needs to understand the context also. Like who is calling whom a ni**a or any other racist slur. I hear black people calling another black person ni**a all the time. Or one Chinese calling another a chink. Is that racist? It's not just the word itself, but how it's used. Another clear example of this is Dave Chappelle's sketch on The Blind White Supremacist (who happens to be black). The "N" word (and "chink")is used all over the place, but the brilliance is that the group that is mocked is the KKK itself. Sadly, the Tsunami song IS racist, but I agree that the bigger picture that we need to concentrate on is the lack of compassion and human decency shown by Hot97 for those that perished and the survivors that loved them.

Getting the world to be aware of what went on behind all of this was great. It got a lot of people moving into action and raised awareness in others. Kudos to all!

But don't ruin it by trying to completely destroy everyone involved. For what they did, they need to face the consequences and the stiffest punishment of losing their jobs. Yes. But for this infraction, it doesn't call making sure that someone never earn a livelihood so that they can't contribute positively to the world. They need to straighten out their own karma, and we don't need to taint our own by asking each other to act destructively.

Awareness and enlightenment is constructive.

Continuing the hate isn't.

Jay, Is it possible to post this on the main page? Thanks!

My t-shirt co made some T-Shirts about the Hot 97/Tsunami issue, buy your shirt today! 100% of the profits goes to the UNICEF Tsunami Relief Fund. Please spread the word so we can raise as much money as possible and turn a negative into a positive. Although we are fighting the struggle against HOT 97, we can't forget about the people on the otherside of the world that are fighting a struggle on some whole other next shit.

Jin's website has just posted info about the shirts also.

The shirts are at: www.MuckItTees.com

We have had a great start raising money through these shirts. So thanks to everyone who has supported the cause and donated to the people who really need it. If you cant buy one, tell a friend about the shirts or please make a donation to www.unicefusa.org.

I think we can all filter out those that are here to make a change as opposed to those who are just causing a ruckus.

Everyone has their own opinions on this matter. Personally speaking, I can't understand why people think it's okay to use racial slurs, even if they think it's okay towards their own race or that it's "accepted slang".

I think most of us here know the enormity of this task and are willing to fight for human dignity. So for all the supports out there, keep focused and stay strong.

isn't it obvious that ted is really miss jones trying to rally suport for herself? lol

It's not about the racism, TED, it's about the violence that these words instigate and provoke. Children listen to Hot 97, and when radio personalities say it is okay to "start shooting Asians," they are sending negative messages to the audience, thus perpetuates HATE and VIOLENCE. You want to keep seeing young kids killing each other in the streets????

Ted, obviously I'm not as ignorant as you. I'm pointing out a spelling mistake (I highly doubt that was a typo), to someone calling out others for stupid posts.

If you’re going to call other people stupid, at least make sure you run your shit through spell check.

You call us stupid for voicing out our opinions and outrage ... then aren't you stupid for doing the same in response to our comments? Maybe the real hypocrite in this situation is you.

The point is that they not only made racist 'jokes', but they mocked the thousands of people who died. That just isn't funny ... no matter what race, religion, or culture you're from.

It seems like Todd Lynn was the pansy. He had no heart and just followed orders and kissed alot of ass! So being that he is nobody special, he was the first choice of getting fired. Miss Jones as much as she is hated right now, still has a reputation and a industry following in the hop hop community. It seems it would be a tough choice for HOT 97 to let her go. I have to admit that as much as what she did was disgusting and unforgivable and as much as I think she is a bad radio hostess, I still was a fan of her music back in 95. Cmon yall the Ron G produced
"Where I Wanna Be" was a nice record!!!!!

By your reasoning Cathy, then most hip hop songs which perpetuate violence, hate and degrade women should be included.

See, what you idiots fail to understand is that you can't have it one way without going all the way. That means everyone on this board and others like it should be held to the same level of accountability. I've read many hateful postings asking for the death of the people involved but no one seems to have a problem with that. I have also had the pleasure of reading posts from other people on this board saying they wanted to inflict injury on me because I was exercising MY FREEDOM OF SPEECH....and to those I say..."get cancer and die".

Btw....Last i checked there are no child guards on this website to keep them from reading the hateful and violent view points expressed here.

I would think that 1 death would be enough but obviously according to you people it needs to be a certain amount for it to be called racist.

And I feel the need to point this out too....words don't kill people.....stupid people kill people.

this is Ted signing off for now....Blow Ted!

According to the owner of the NY Radio Message Board a few minutes ago:

"I'm hearing Rick Delgado has been fired from Hot 97 (along with Todd Lynn). Apparently there is a meeting today at Emmis with Rick Cummings and Jeff Smulyan with the remainder of the morning show staff. It doesn't appear that anyone else is being fired... but as of the time I'm posting this, the meeting hasn't yet taken place."

http://musicradio.computer.net/wwwboard/messages/252143.html

For those of you who think it's a "racist joke"... Explain how it's funny using the word "chink" in that situation? Is it irony because they used a racial slur for a race who wasn't actually involved in said tsunami? That's giving them too much credit.

The racial humor Dave Chappelle and South Park uses usually makes fun of stereotypes and intolerance. Randomly adding racial slurs into an offensive songs when that race isn't even involved in the matter sounds like racism to me. Like if I'm talking about suicide bombers isn't kind of dumb to be like "look at that terrorist blow himself up and take out 40 n*ggers! god laughs at those coons!"

People would be like "WTF? the majority of the people that died are israelis, us soliders and iraqis!"

Hey, TED... How'z about I make fun of the people jumping off the world trade center, before it collapsed?

Maybe I should sing a song about them, to the tune of "We Are The World".

Perhaps, for added fun, I should imply throughout the lyrics that not only were their deaths funny, but appropriate and "good". According to Miss Jones' song, God laughs at the people who died in the tsunami, after all, so it must follow that God must have been cackling with glee during 9/11/01, right?

Emmis just confirmed that Rick Delgado and Toddy Lynn have been fired.

I just go this message:

Asian Media Watch

February 01, 2005 at 4:35 PM ET

A reliable source has informed us that both the Hot 97 writer/producer of the Tsunami Song, Rick Delgado, and radio host Todd Lynn were fired last night around 8 p.m.

Hot 97 studio executives and staff are meeting as we speak to prepare an official statement about the firings.

There is more information forthcoming and we'll report it as soon as we confirm it. Asian Media Watch first reported the story to you on Friday, January 21, our efforts were covered in the New York Post Saturday, and we spoke at Council Member John C. Liu's news conference Monday. From the start, you can rely on us for complete, accurate, and reliable information on the Hot 97 Tsunami Song controversy and protest.

A sacrifice meant to get us off the scent. No dice, Emmis, we want Miss Jones off the air. Since there's plenty to do in Indonesia, she can find a job there. I hope she gets used to the hard labor, she might shed a few of those pounds.

I recieved an email by the FCC after I complained to them about this incident. Its a PDF file fact sheet. Basically, it explains the rules the FFC follow and what critial must be included when making a complaint. This file didn't address the issue of Tsunami Song which I included in my email. Did anyone else got this email by the FCC too?

WE WILL NOT REST UNTIL MISS JONES IS FIRED AND THAT IS FINAL!!!!!!!! THIS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!

From Canada,

Yes I got the same reply from the FCC. What bothers me is if you search their website for "profanity" it gives you a definition and says that like indecency, profanity is prohibited by the law.

But they like to ignore that regulation apparently. The only thing they care about is "wardrobe malfunctions". Sad.

I really don't know if those were Jones's vocals on that but why in that argument with Info did Jones say to Info that I don't see them knocking down your door asking for your vocals now I am guessing that they did ask for Jones's vocals or else she wouldn't be trying to throwing that in Info's face. I just think that they are trying to deny that it was Jones vocals on the song so that we will be more forgiving. Forgiving or not Justice has to prevail and she has to pay yeah with her JOB!!

This is good news, obviously, but I'm also a little more concerned about Miss Jones leaving.

But you know, the thing is. Humor is humor, right? But don't you use humor to laugh? Isn't it supposed to be funny? That song, to me, was in no way funny. I was galled, indignated, and angry. I'm still angry about it. My anger comes because they joked about a tragedy that affected people around the world; a disaster that led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands. What's funny about that? It's not humorous, at all.
Is it all really fair game? It's difficult to believe that if you were dead, and you were watching, you would laugh at the joke. It's difficult to believe if your mom was wiped out and enveloped by the sea, you would be laughing. It's difficult to believe, if you can relate at all, that if you were a mother, and you couldn't hold onto your children because the water was rushing all around you and the currents were too strong, and you had to let one of them go.. I don't think you'd be laughing about that either.
The matter of race just inflamed my indignation. To me, I felt like someone just screamed, "Die, Chinks, Die," while pointing at Thai people, and laughed about it. What's funny about that? I have little problem with racial jokes when I know the person isn't sincere, but in this case, I feel like these people were being insensitive.

And Ted, you used your family as an example as if everyone should be like you. What's the point of bringing in your own personal insensitivity? Not everyone is like you. Your attempt at justification was a little lame. It's like me saying, "I never use the word n*gger, ch*nk, or b*tch, so you shouldn't either!"

Emmis Radio and HOT 97 will not tolerate such derogatory and racially insensitive content. This incident in no way reflects the spirit of HOT 97. The station has a long-time and well-known reputation for community involvement and support.

That was taken straight from Hot 97's website. If that's true, why wouldn't they fire Miss Jones? She makes derogatory and racially insensitive comments every morning.. In fact, that's what she's known for. That's bullshit that they're keeping her own.

I cannot believe that they are still keeping Miss Jones. She is so unprofessional in her actions and the way she addresses Miss Info. Not to mention that as the leader of the show she could of said that i disagree with the song and shut it down but she did not. She has been rude to Miss info since she started

Jay, Is it possible to post this on the main page? Thanks!

My t-shirt co made some T-Shirts about the Hot 97/Tsunami issue, buy your shirt today! 100% of the profits goes to the UNICEF Tsunami Relief Fund. Please spread the word so we can raise as much money as possible and turn a negative into a positive. Although we are fighting the struggle against HOT 97, we can't forget about the people on the otherside of the world that are fighting a struggle on some whole other next shit.

Jin's website has just posted info about the shirts also.

The shirts are at: www.MuckItTees.com

We have had a great start raising money through these shirts. So thanks to everyone who has supported the cause and donated to the people who really need it. If you cant buy one, tell a friend about the shirts or please make a donation to www.unicefusa.org.

not cool. i'd be more satisfied if Miss Jones was fired..

About time someone got fired. I still think miss jones should be fired just as well. She can keep her rude comments to herself because no one wants to hear that type of trash on air. Even if she doesn't quit, she's going to get heated phone calls from a lot of people, so why not just quit now to save yourself some embarrassment and humility from listeners? That's what they get.

Sorry I haven't posted your t shirt info, this other stuff has been knocking it out of the way. i'll get it up in one of my next updates.

we have to keep fighting until jones gets the boot!

I sometimes wish people would be as passionate and outspoken about finding ways to alleviate the suffering caused by the tsunami as they have been about trying to get the Hot97 Morning Show crew fired.

For Immediate Release

WQHT/Hot 97 and Emmis Communications Terminate Two Members of Morning Show Crew for Displaying Gross Insensitivity and Making Offensive Remarks

Emmis Donates $1 Million to Charity to Aid in
Tsunami Relief & Recovery

New York – February 1, 2005: WQHT/Hot 97-FM and Emmis Communications announced today that they have terminated the employment of morning show producer Rick Del gado for his role in writing, producing and airing “The Tsunami Song,” a highly insensitive parody of the 1985 single “We Are the World.” Hot 97 and Emmis also terminated morning show personality Todd Lynn for making offensive, racially insensitive comments while on the air. Both terminations are effective immediately.

Simultaneously, Emmis announced that it will make a lump-sum donation of $1 million to Give2Asia to aid the organization in its Tsunami relief and recovery effort.

An internal investigation by Hot 97 and Emmis determined that the singularly egregious actions of Lynn and Del Gado warranted termination from their employment at the station. Other members of the morning show crew: Miss Jones, DJ Envy and Tasha Hightower have each been given two-week suspensions. The salaries of these individuals will be redirected to Give2Asia for the duration of their suspensions, which will end on Wednesday, February 9. Another member of the morning show crew, Miss Info, has not been suspended.

“The actions of the morning show crew were socially and morally indefensible and the entire Emmis family is ashamed by this,” said Rick Cummings, President of Emmis Radio “Emmis and Hot 97 have investigated this matter thoroughly over the course of the last week. Our decision to terminate Mr. Del Gado and Mr. Lynn while suspending the other members of the morning crew sends a message that this type of insensitivity is utterly unacceptable.”

###

keep the letters coming people. the others need to be fired also. a million dollars is chump change to them. the fact they gained retarded viewers compensates for it. miss jones and djenvy NEEDS TO BE FIRED.

http://www.fmqb.com/article.asp?id=65208

"Delgado was terminated for his role in writing, producing and airing "The Tsunami Song," the highly insensitive parody of the 1985 single "We Are the World." Lynn was let go for making offensive, racially insensitive comments while on the air."

Did they not investigate hard enough to hear Miss Jones also made offensive, racially insensitive comments while on the air.

miss jones should be fired.. why is todd lynn the only one fired when BOTH of them added the racist comments? keep the emails going~

"Our decision to terminate Mr. Del Gado and Mr. Lynn while suspending the other members of the morning crew sends a message that this type of insensitivity is utterly unacceptable.”

What a load of bull. If it's so utterly unacceptable to them, Miss Jones would be fired too. But of course she's not, because they care more about ratings than they do about moral integrity.

Bittersweet. At least we've made some progress. But why are they protecting Miss Jones? Unless they're really having a hard time trying to find a replacement for her...

I sometimes wish people would be as passionate and outspoken about finding ways to alleviate the suffering caused by the tsunami as they have been about trying to get the Hot97 Morning Show crew fired.

posted by: Blacktop

i was just thinking the same thing and i couldn't agree more. while i am for justice in this situation and i applaud all of you in your efforts, i look through these comments, and many of them are like 'f* this' and 'f* that', but what is being lost in the mix is the tragedy itself. i'm not trying to discredit any of the efforts that you all have been making, but if you're really passionate about the cause, turn around and donate some money to relief funds, because every little bit will help.

I'm trying to understand why they would not fire Miss Jones...

Then I got to thinking through corporate's eyes...

Everyone would be wondering what Miss Jones will say or how she would react on her first day back...

* more of the same BS?

* a shock jock with an even bigger chip on her shoulder?

* someone that has learned her lesson?

I have to admit that I'm curious too. The ratings will go through the roof.

Now what to do with Miss Info after this whole ordeal? Obviously the two don't get along and should even more so that she did not get in trouble.

How interesting would it be to see Miss Jones and Miss Info as co-hosts?



I would totally like to see Miss Jones gone, but maybe this is Emmis' plan for keeping her?

MONEY CANT BUY YOUR WAY OUT!!!!
SHUTDOWN EMMIS & HOT97!!
SHUTDOWN EMMIS & HOT97!!
SHUTDOWN EMMIS & HOT97!!
SHUTDOWN EMMIS & HOT97!!

SHAME ON THE PIGS!!!!!
KEEP ON PROTESTING
MONEY CANT BUY YOUR WAY OUT!!!!

So not good enough: after what Ms. Jones did to Ms. Info, she deserves to be fired as well. And what about Mr. Cummmins and the program manager: they are as irresponsible as Messrs. Delgado and Lynn. Ms. Jones should be out of work for at least a year out of this fiasco. There are plenty of honest, good people looking for work.

THE HECK!! WHY IS MISS JONES STILL THERE? WHAT ABOUT HER CONSTANT PLAYING OF THE SONG EVEN AFTER THERE WERE COMPLAINTS BY CALLERS? MISS JONES IS A BIGOT!!!!

FIRE MISS JONES! DO NOT LISTEN TO HOT 97 ANYMORE TURN YOUR RADIOS OFF.

I highly encourage people to call in to Hot97 if and when Miss Jones comes back on air. Disguise yourself as a listener for Miss Jones return so your call won't be turned away and when you finally get to Miss Jones herself...really let her know what you think. Let's see her get riled up again and see what she will say or do based on the same situation that arised before.

Rick & Todd get the brown end of the stick while the station managers get away with it! Airing the parody once was bad enough, but who is responsible for letting it go on for 4 days? Why is it that Miss Jones and the station managers get away without any punishment (do you really think that she won't get her huge salary during her suspension?) while the supporting players take the rap? There is no way that the parody would have gone on the air if Miss Jones was against it. The million dollars Emmis is giving to Tsunami relief efforts is just a payoff to deflect anyone searching for the real criminals.

WTF Mis Jones need to get her ass fired with the rest of her crew except Miss Info...two week suspension is not enough...

Clearly you didn't read well enough, or didn't care enough to read the many posts. There have been several calls asking folks to keep their cool and not perpetuate the hate. But it looks like you only read what you want(ed) to read.

Anyway, it seems coca-cola is back to sponsoring hot97 again: http://www.hot97.com/contests/kingpin.aspx. Must've got something to do with the statement from Emmis. Seems like business as usual over at hot97.

In regards to Erwin's comment about Coco-Cola that's actually an ongoing community "service " event. I believe in Coca-Cola's response to complaints they said they would temporarily put out advertisement but would continue to work with Hot 97 on events that would help the community and youth (which is understandable).

Ms. Info should fire Ms. Jones on the air on her first day back, because she's the new program manager.

why is the statement from HOT 97 disappear from the web site? And how come it didnt announce the terminatin of Rich & Todd?

Suspended?! That racist SHOULD be fired. We are going to protest outside the radio station until that racist is fired. Go here to see more details. The racist should learn a lesson. -_-

Mike can you stop frickin' posting about the t-shirts? At this point I'm starting to think you're actually making a profit on them or something because you can't stop reposting the same message over and over again.

It's not fair for Miss Jones to get off. She deserves to be fired just like Todd. In fact, Todd can probably argue that his racism comes from just playing off of Miss Jones. Miss Jones does NOT deserve to be let off of responsibility.

I mean this is her second "incident" at least with Asians. But the first that I know of, The Chinkopoly thing... I can understand. Ghettopoly was created by an Asian person and Miss Jones felt that it was derogatory towards blacks. The fact that she lashed out the way she did was wrong though.

I mean the game is GHETTOPOLY, not "N*ggeropoly". It's about ghettolife making fun of blacks, whites, hispanics AND asians. It's not making fun of blacks, it's making fun of the poor. (Look at some of the cards - I see all races portrayed on it, and none of them in a good way). You can argue that since a lot of blacks are poor, there's blacks suffer worse. She had a reason for busting out "Chinkopoly" even though it didn't make it right at least I can understand where she was coming from.

But the tsunami? What is this in rebuttal towards? What triggered her playing of this song multiple times? What caused her to lash out at Miss Info specifically targeting her race?

It's kinda funny. A lot of people here feel the tsunami mocking is the biggest deal. I actually feel it isn't. Because the tsunami mocking is obviously a bad ploy to get controversy and it CAN be classified as "bad humor" (a completely disresepectful, unfunny, and lousy song).

I didn't mind the tsunami song as much purely because deep down inside I don't think they truly believed that the song was funny. I think they knew the song wasn't funny. Where as deep down I think they truly do have a racial bias against Asians. Just my opinion.

KEEP THE FIGHT!

Do you really think u will shut down emmis? Cmon be realistic..hot might suffer for a bit but i think they went thru the worst of the worst..a lot of reparation and restoration is probably going to happen..but here is a tidbit for those of who you A.Dont live in NY
B.Dont listen to tha station which covers about all of you here posting
Miss Jones herself was not involved in the recording of the song..She had been broadcasting from her home for the past 4 mnths due to pregnancy.and has not been at the station at all since then and still has not been...it was an assistant that sang on it..not excusing her from the whole thing but just shedding a lil light cuz her actions on air totally made her look horrible and disgusting..She does need to go but she wont..its up to yall if you want to keep fighting it..

FIRE mis joNes!!!!!!

This isn't over until Miss Jones is on the unemployment line....believe me.

It doesn't matter if she wasn't involved in the recording of the song. She was involved in the distribution of the song which can be considered worse than writing it in the first place. If it doesn't get distributed no one hears it. She not only distributed it, she vocally supported it.

Why is this necessary? Because it tells DJs that they won't get away with racism on the air. These DJs will stand up to their producers now if the producers tell them "Hey do this. You'll get backlash but we WILL NOT fire you! It's a win-win situation for both of us." The DJ will now say "Whoa man. Did you see what happened to Miss Jones and her crew? They got SCREWED. Hell no."

I cannot believe that that ugly Miss Jones is coming back on the air. Whose baby has she had? Must be screwing someone really high up to keep her job. Racist bitch: you know why Asians are superior? They know who their baby's daddy is. And their baby's dady sticks around.

Skank.

i want miss fat azz jone out !!! f her fat ass i hate her fat ass i wanna stomp her fat azz in da face .. i just wanna put the in a choke hold.. sorry i pump on ufc ... ahhhhhhhh fat azz.jone

i bet DR. JEFF is home reading all this and realizing how stupid he had sounded on the show. "I would love to hear the tsunami song. i would!" hahaa.. fucking idiot. yes, YOU, DR. JEFF! don't YOU feel stupid now. and you're not even part of the show, whoever the fuck you are, i KNOW you gotta be feeling STUPID as fuck.

Blacktop and Josh,

I think there has been alot of effort to raise relief funds for Tsunami victims. But the reason why you don't hear about it so much is people tend to listen for bad news more than good news. That's why this stunt by HOT97 seems like it has tons of people clamoring at the doors. I bet you more people are involved with raising relief efforts than are involved with standing against HOT97. You just don't hear about it.

Let's start a new petition, requiring all those racist hip-hip ignorants to go through SENSITIVITY TRAINING and some EDUCATION--though the retarded monkeys that they are, that won't be much use.

ANYWAY, REQUIRE THOSE RACISTS TO:
1. LEARN THAT ASIA IS A COUNTRY.
2. LEARN THAT CHINA IS NOT ON THE INDIAN OCEAN
3. STOP THOSE BLACK "PRODUCERS" FROM SAMPLING (STEALING) OUR ASIAN MUSIC
4. LEARN THAT IT'S NOT ASIANS FAULT THAT BLACKS--AFTER GETTING WELFARE, AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, FREE HOUSING, AND JOB QUOTAS--LIVE IN THE SLUMS AND HAVE THE LOWEST TEST SCORES. BlACKS NEED TO LOOK AT THEMSELVES TO FIGURE OUT WHY THEY ARE STILL LIVING LIKE THEY ARE SLAVES.
5. TEACH BLACKS SOME VALUES--LIKE RAISING YOUR OWN KIDS, KNOW YOUR BABY'S DADDY, AND STOP TAKING HARD-EARNED ASIAN PEOPLE'S CHECK FOR YOUR WELFARE OBESE ASSES.

Guys, keep up the fight. I applaud all of you who stood up and unite to fight and be outspoken on this racial issue by COLD 97. Keep it together and don't let them make this an asian vs black issue. That's what the brains behind emmis is trying to eventually protray. Let's do it in a civil manner and teach them how it should be done. Voices will be heard when people unite.

And Mike, please stop the posting of your tshirt sale.

Also, i'm one of those in NYC who just got laid off and I donated a good some to the Tsunami recovery effort. So there are a lot of ppl out there who did donate their time or Money to this tragedy. The COLD97 mockery hit a nerve that why so many ppl are protesting against Fat Jones and COLD97. Remember sex/violence/gangsta sells. That's mainly what COLD97 is trying to do.

ASIAN DJ SAYS TO BLACK DJ, "YOU THINK YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME BECAUSE YOU'RE BLACK" AND REPEATEDLY PLAYS THE "WHITE PEOPLE SAY THAT AIDS ORIGINATED IN AFRICA SONG"

AND KEEPS HER JOB.

To: Start New Petition

Please don't get over your head. As an asian myself..what you just wrote was some racist shit and it's offensive. Alot of it is true but u shouldn't compare it with being chinese. It just brings more fire.. Chill out man.

That was so not necessary what BC said about Mike and his T-shirt posts. come on, the guy's making an effort to help.. sure beats your long ass post on absolutely nothing new OR useful.. now you can stand in the corner with Dr. Jeff and do some reflecting of your own.. feel stupid? morons..

That miss jones bitch isn't being fire, WTF! Now this is really pissing me off! People, keep the pressure on Hot97!

Dude! all u had to do was post A msg. Was all that spam necessary? Speak less and get your point across.

Yo, im going to donate a lot of my funds to the tsunami effort.

This is probably my last time reading these lame repsonses.

Its funny, Ms. Jones and Todd are two racists that broadcasted their racism to the ENTIRE country on a racist radio station.

Yet, on this matter where all races should be sticking together... There has been many asians broadcasting their racist views to the ENTIRE world on the internet.

I am beginning to wonder how I can tell the difference between who wants peace and who wants to just have a reason to shout racial slurs.

WOW, ha ha ha ha, your so great. That sounds like the phrase everyone wants to hear. There I said it.. I don't mean it... But, lets at least TRY to be better than Jones and Todd...

As an African American, I am not going to stoop to such rediculous levels. Stop calling me nigger. I am not going to shout racial slurs back. Anyways, I am done with comments on this issue that has made people more racist than Todd and Jones.

My girlfriend is asian. I have a lot of friends that are asian. Still, I love and respect all people.

Stop juggling and throwing the bull sh*t. Seriously....

ming, i appreciate your feedback and i agree with you wholeheartedly, and black guy from chicago, that is exactly what i was thinking. i am asian myself, and i don't want to come across as one of those people that come on here just to talk trash to the supporters, but some of you are getting way out of hand with your own racial slurs here as well. let's be bigger people than those that have done wrong and obstain from that kind of language. it doesn't do much good to cry racism, and then turn around and start calling miss jones and todd lynn names and racial slurs as well. like i said before, if you want to help and haven't done so already, please volunteer for or donate to any relief fund, even $5 will help somebody over there. trust me, down the road, you'll feel MUCH better about contributing than about finding reasons to cuss and yell about a dj whose reputation has gone down the drain already.

Oh yeah,

There are some people that are rationalizing this whole issue. There is not much to rationalize. 200,000+ people die. They made a song about it. They are dealing with the consequences of their actions.

Only the most ignorant would say that their actions were ok. They deserve what they are getting. Anyways, take it easy.

THIS IS F*CKING RIDICULOUS!!!!!! IF ANYTHING, MISS JONES SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST ONE TO GET FIRED!!!!! PLEASE keep writing those emails and keep this fight going strong. This is an extreme injustice that "WE", as humanity have to rectify. Racisim, ignorance and the blatent disregard for human life of this calibre should not been tolerated. I am digusted with Emmis's course of action.

Ted,

I totally agree with you and I 100% respect Miss Jones's right of free speech.
This is after all America and Freedom of Speech is an Constitutional right. You CAN and SHOULD BE ABLE to say whatever your little heart please.

With that in mind, you guys can return the favors too. By respecting my freedom of speech. The little fact, somebody probably going to lose their job shouldn't matter.

You have your freedom of speech and I have mine. We're all happy, right?!

JONES SHOULD GET FIRED ALSO!

This insistence on Free Speech is in this case too simplistic, i think. It's my guess that most of the human beings that were mocked at and made fun of in that horrendous song do NOT, and probably never will, enjoy that same privillege that we ALL seem to enjoy here. We must give the 1000s of orphans and torn families, whose voices will never be heard, a VOICE! For me that's reason enough to support action against hot97.
Please dont hide behind this Free Speech bs. It not only shows that you're a malicious and very cold person, it also shows your dishonesty. But you probably could care less right? I really begin to wonder whether the people behind the song ever saw the total devastation of the disaster. How someone can make fun of that, instead of being moved by compassion is just beyond me...

hot97 no more music by the suckers!

please keep in mind that responding to hate with hate only keeps the cycle going. there's nothing wrong with callin people out for what they are, but don't allow anger to lower yourself down to a level that requires the same petty insults they throw at you. eventually, we should hope to understand why they are that way so we can educate them in a way they'll understand...

so in an effort to educate...

if you're going to talk about the FREEDOM OF SPEECH, then you have to take into account that it's only ONE COMPONENT of the 1st amendment which has a larger emphasis on protecting those who held opposing religious views as well as protection from intervention from the GOVERNMENT as it was during the time of its establishment. NOWHERE does it explicity protect the use of incidiary racist comments and IN FACT

The Supreme Court has also recognized that the government may prohibit some speech that may cause a breach of the peace or cause violence. It does not afford members of the media any special rights or privileges not afforded to citizens in general.

WHICH IS WHY this can be and is such a big deal, just look at how many people, not to mention political leaders, are involved now.

i say the more people the better because there are so many aspects to this issue and we need people to fight hate at every single level- on this board, at HOT 97, big corporations, the government... cause if we don't do it then WHO will?

to ME hiphop has a lot to do with EMPOWERMENT and EDUCATION (this IS still a hiphop site right?) so mad props to (almost) EVERYBODY, especially jay smooth. keep doin what you're doin yall...

Hey BLACK GUY FROM CHICAGO:

I like your attitude and the fact that you seem to be without racial biases.

But seriously though, dude, if you have an Asian girlfriend, you must get more racist shit from black women (who HATE Asian women, and especially Asian women who are with Black men). Look at the racial slurs Wayne Brady's Asian wife has to suffer from black women.

Listen, I have had more racial slurs hurled at me from black men and women than from any other race. I live in a hispanic neighbourhood and I work with white people. I have been treated wonderfully and like an equal by whites. Only when I come across a black cashier or a black attendant in the subway or something do I face racism in this country.

Deal with it, Black Guy, your people are serious racists. They are nasty to my Asian friends. I have met only two black people in my years in this country who have been nice. Blacks are okay with whites and hispanics, but boy do they hate the Asians.

Also, do you hear that? That's the silence from the black community in response to this Miss Jones incident. Where's Al Sharpton? Or Jesse James? You think there would be this silence from them if a black had been so viciously insulted?

Only thing i have to say is this: Blacks have picked on South East Asians (that means Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean, for you ignorant ghetto-scum), and they have kept relatively quiet because culturally they are a quiet race of people. But now blacks are picking on Indian Asians (and I am one of them)--and they don't know what they are messing with. We Indians don't take things laying down, trust me. We kicked the British off our lands. We have fought three wars over Kashmir. We deal with the Taliban as out neighbours, okay. We don't take shit. We kick ass.

Miss Jones and others better realise that there is a new sheriff in town. You fuck with Indian Asians, you will know why Indian culture is the oldest civilization in the world. We don't have 30,000 years of culture so that we can get shit talked about us by some ignorant, uneducated, fugly, pond-scum, with culture that goes back to, what, 1980? Hip-hop. That's all the culture you got? Come to India, Miss Jones, and I will show you culture.

My hats off to you Black Guy From Chicago--maybe you can work on educating your race and teaching them some tolerance.

Asian from West Coast,
dont you sound like "The Man" now? There really isnt any need to act all superior as you (seem to) do. As a matter of fact it reminds me of the mindset of the English colonizers you kicked of your lands... I guess we all need edumacatin'

India is still part of the British Commonwealth, so you haven't distanced yourself from your "oppressors" at all.

Indian culture is not the oldest in the world, get your fact right.

Stick to the topic, which is about racism not your racist views

I hope everyone uses as much passion to write those letters to the sponsors and FCC..... All these posts are great !! It lets us voice our opinions to be heard.

To say the least, this war is not over by far. The termination of Delgado and Lynn is nice. The million dollar donation is lovely, but also not a punishment on any level.

HATE97 has to take responsibilty by paying a FINE that is NOT tax deductible. HATE 97 has to lose Jones who played the song repeatedly, and has AGAIN made an asian racial slur. Does she NOT learn? Obviously NOT with people like HATE 97 to back her up.

I opt NOT to listen to that station when she comes back on air, in fact I have not even gone to their webiste or even tuned in since this incident. Why support the act??

Keep up the HEAT on the posnsors and FCC.... we have to get it through to them this this bone was just not BIG enough....

I think people should boycott Sprint, who sponsored the segment where Miss Info went at Miss Jones. I think you are missing the boat on one aspect though. Yes, I want to see Miss Jones off the air, but let's think. Why isn't she? Probably because she still has a steady fan base in New York. What does that tell us? That this is not merely the problem of a few individuals. It is a cultural problem. Asian Pacific Islanders and Middle Easterners to a certain extent are not "respected" under the umbrella of political correctness. Many people are misinformed about our cultures and continue to use derogatory adjectives and names such as Chinaman, oriental, etc. I just heard Tommy Heinsohn during a Celtics broadcast (Houston at Boston) the other day (Asian Awareness night of course) say about an Asian fan at the Fleet Center, "give that fan an egg roll." Would you say to an African-American fan, "give that fan a slice of watermelon!" There is even a cheese steak joint in Philly named, Chink's Steaks. Yet, if anyone is to blame for the disrespect of Asian-Americans, it is Asian-Americans. Many of our ancestors came here with the "gold mountain" mindset and some still plan to "move back" someday and have not vigorously built a political foundation in America. If Asian Americans are to be respected, it starts with ourselves. We can not expect others to educate themselves about our culture and people. Asian Americans must make their voices heard. Also, Asian from West Coast, chill out, man. I know you're frustrated, but take a look at your post. You fell victim to 1)stereotyping 2)hate motivation 3) logical fallacies and 4)incorrect historical representation. If any culture is the oldest, it is AFRICAN culture. Peep the Out of Africa theory when you get a chance. It is the undisputed heavy weight champion of evolutionary theory. Comparing which ethnic groups is more racist does nothing, but spur the creation of more hate, which leads to more dead people of all colors. When you stop to think that chimpanzees and humans have 94.6% to 99.4% of the same genetic material, it reminds us how silly it is to argue over our level of tan. I am not trying to say I am innocent either. I told a really shitty tsunami joke a few weeks back at blockbuster because I just didn't think before I spoke. Everyone says dumb shit, but it doesn't mean we can't try to learn from our mistakes and start accepting other people culturally. By the way, I just came across this site the other day Jay Smooth and it's the shit.

all the people gettin offended by this are the racists, if you cant laugh at sh8t like this then you got the problem, it was pretty fukin funny leave the man alone. You cant really bleieve he wants to kill all asians do you! your the one trying to make a name off of his mistake

KEEP THE EMAILS, PHONE CALLS & LETTERS GOING! HOT 97 & EMMISS COMM. Let's get Miss Jones off the air as needed......

Miss Jones is as guilty of being a racist as anyone else on the show and must be fired also.

another thing Asian guy from the West coast......China is not a Southeastern Asian country; nor are Korea, China, Vietnam, etc "one race" as you claimed.......Chinese people aren't even one race.....there are thousands of ethnic groups within China.......not tryin to pick a fight with you, but you should look at yourself before antagonizing African-Americans as a group and spreading inaccurate information about people and making broad generalizations....

Great Job here of Chronicling this embarassing disaster of a morning show. Please keep up the good work, you have earned the respect of many.
But for Jonesy, 1 million dollars, thanks for the dough, but the ignorant, hate spewing disgrace to the human race, Jonesy STILL MUST GO!!! Are we that desperate for talent we must scrap the underside of the barrel

Please note that Freedom of Speech as guaranteed in our constitution protects us from criminal prosecution for expressing our views. The 1st amendment does NOT protect us from suffering negative consequences for this expression. I am a nurse. If I cursed out one of my patients, I would not go to jail. However, the minute my supervisor heard of my "expression" I would be fired. Claiming free speech would change nothing. The same goes for Miss Jones or any other employee of any other entity. The first amendment does not protect you from being fired, it does not protect you from public or private censure, and it is not absolute. Slander, libel, threats, and other "incendiary" statements (yelling "fire" in a crowded theater for a laugh), are not protected free speech.

Free speech is something we cherish, but it can and often does come with a price. We need to accept the responsibility that comes with this privelege as well as the benefits of it. We are all personally accountable for our words. Freedom of speech does not mean anything goes.

I said I was done answering these comments. However, I will address somethings. After this, I am just going to focus on donating money and keeping up with the headlines. This is feeling more and more like a battle to place shame.

Hey, Asian from west coast, I would like to respond to some of the stuff that you said. For starters, I don't think racism is something that I shouldn't feel guilty for. I have learned that all races have racists.

Due to my dating preferences, I have experienced racism from several different races. (Even, asian) A lot of people are afraid that I will destroy some blood line or crap like that. I feel sorry for Wayne Brady and his wife. Some people don't like successful people. In fact, people love to take jabs at the rich. The let their jealousy turn to hatred and racism. Then, there are others that are plain racists. All of that is wrong.

However, I have also been shown a lot of love as well. In fact, I have been lucky to have friends in every race that I am very cool with. So, I don't have some set notion that a "race" of people are mostly racist.

I am sorry that you were mistreated by some idiots. However, saying that I should "face it" and "my people are serious racists" does not help nor prove anything.

I don't believe in the term "my people." I don't wake up in the morning for "my people." I don't get dressed for "my people." I don't eat, sleep, drink and think for "my people." Most of all, they are not "my people." They are not in my possession. I don't own anyone. You say it like I belong to some organization of conspiracy.

Why can't white, latino, asian... be my people also? To be honest, I don't see myself stuck with a certain race or class. I love all people equally. I like the fact that I can go and chill with anyone of any color.

I can say this, I am not the only african american that is not a racist. In fact, my cousins are not racists and their cousins are not racist. I could go on forever.

As for Jesse Jackson and other political people... All im going to say is, I am not a big fan of politics. I am not going to attack politics, but im not a big fan. Politicians have so much dirt under the table that it isn't funny. The systems of this country have become vile. Everything is corporate and about money. Hot 97 is proof of that. Yet, don't hate on a race because, some politician doesn't speak out.

Personally, the real voice belongs to the people. By fighting together, we have proved that.

For the record, I have respect for all races, especially Idian Asians. Still, I think people should be civilized about this whole matter. Putting down another race is wrong man.

America used to be a country where minorities used to fight an entire NATION instead of ignorant show hosts. Now, times have changed. The whole nation is not comprised of one set EVIL RACE.

We have to learn to respect each other not on behalf of "our people", but for the pursual(sp) of the right thing.

Honestly, if you are not hate filled, I got love for you. I will probably take a bullet for you too. Why can't others be like this?

Don't let negative treatment in the past give you a negative prejudice for certain group of people.

Anyways, im done. I am not going to comment on this issue anymore. I am going to work hard so I can donate funds.

Peace out brothers.

who cares if they fired todd and this delgado guy? i mean, thats like giving me half a steak. give me the whole thing and get rid of them all.

should^

Very well spoken Black Guy from Chicago. Thanks!
One Love!

BGfC. Good words.
I'm your people.
You're my people.
Your asian girlfriend is our people.
My native american wife is our people.

when are they gonna fire this idiot miss jones. her argument over the air with miss info was typical "niggers arguing in public again" stuff. this whole staff was stupid and there is no excuse any of them can say. please give me a break, and that im conversation with todd lynn, maybe its a good thing he got fired, judging by the way he spells and sounds maybe this is a good time for him to go back to school and learn how to read and write....And since he said I think you all were a bunch of dumbass niggers!!!

Emmis is obviously keeping Miss Jones on the air for financial/ratings reasons. Miss Jones IS the show. How would they replace her? This is the easy way out for them. They won't have to create, produce, promote a new show. They know the Miss Jone's show generates ratings and revenue. The publicity they recieved over the last few weeks will help the Miss Jones Show. The only way to prevent Emmis from benefiting from this fiasco is to fire Miss Jones and force them to come up with a new morning show. I urge everyone to keep up the fight until she's gone. Don't let them get off this easy.

That was Ms. Jones singing anyone who has heard her music or voice knows its her, this Asst. is taking the heat for singing not Ms. Jones, think about it why not fire the asst? It's a smoke sceen, Emmis FEARS Star and Buc wild so much that their present actions to keep Ms. Jones are obvious, which says its about the ratings and money. I take my hat off to the Asian people for being relentless in their pursuit. If anyone has John Liu's address please post it

Jay, Is it possible to post this on the main page? Thanks!

My t-shirt co made some T-Shirts about the Hot 97/Tsunami issue, buy your shirt today! 100% of the profits goes to the UNICEF Tsunami Relief Fund. Please spread the word so we can raise as much money as possible and turn a negative into a positive. Although we are fighting the struggle against HOT 97, we can't forget about the people on the otherside of the world that are fighting a struggle on some whole other next shit.

Jin's website has just posted info about the shirts also.

The shirts are at: www.MuckItTees.com

We have had a great start raising money through these shirts. So thanks to everyone who has supported the cause and donated to the people who really need it. If you cant buy one, tell a friend about the shirts or please make a donation to www.unicefusa.org.

Sierra,

Do you mean John Liu's postal address? Are you in the NYC area? E-mail me at sun5beam7@yahoo.com if you are.

Thanks!

Black Guy from Chicago. I give you props. Please no more hatin.

Although Im disappointed that the radio station didnt take more severe action with Miss Jones, I'm glad that Emmis took a more contributive effort by donating 1 mill to the tsunami relief. I know that money cant buy everything, especially racism, but I feel at least something good came out of it. Thats 1 mill more to help rebuilding the economy there. Its going to take a few years before those countries can stand on their own again. The red cross estimates about 400mill to handle short term and long term issues.

Reading these posts, we're bickering with each other more. Nothing good will come out of it.
IF you want more action to be taken, just switch radio stations. And tell your friends to do the same.

Just to menton,I'm really proud that we all came together during this time. We voice our opinions- and they were heard. Keep it up!

"We Indians don't take things laying down, trust me."

Which is why:
- Apu still owns the Kwik-E-Mart. Granted, his character has developed, but the exterior still screams "stereotype".

- Star & Bucwild have gone on to a BETTER and more lucrative radio deal since the "rat eater" comments.

LMAO AfWC there is an influx of educated South Asians in America sure (and I do think that's a good thing), but "your people" have minimal representation in the social sciences. How are you gonna represent for yourselves when nobody seeks to understand the issues? Oh I get it you fight back by boasting that your son's gonna be a doctor when he's only 5 yrs old. Ghandi and Mother Theresa are rolling in their graves.

BGfC you should pity this guy he speaks British English even though he's so proud his people kicked out the oppressor. He hates your race because he associates darker skin with being lower on the "caste system." This is the result of the rich history that he claims.

oops, its Gandhi right. Sorry.

Miss jones must be pissed off her salary was sent to Asia, for I'm sure she didn't want to help, she was glad people died.
I personaly think that donation shouldn't be a punishment. That's not donation. It has to come with a willingness to help, not willingness to kiss ass, or cover up ass.

I'm hoping that Emmis is only going to keep Miss Jones until they find a replacement, since they've posted that job listing on their website for a new "Morning show host". Hopefully..

get over it Hot 97 blazining Hip hop and r&b son!

Ming,

That job post has been off the Emmis corporate web site.

And I read this on Emmis's corp. web site which makes me wanna puke...

Emmis is the 2004 Better Business Bureau Torch Award winner, given to companies demonstating excellence in business ethics, and the 2003 American Business Ethics Award winner.

Did it mention "business ethics"?? Gimme a break!

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." - MLK Jr.

How sadly ironic that this skit first aired the day after MLK Day. It is truly sad how out-of-touch the hip-hop generation has now become from their Civil Rights Era forefathers. I guess they think they've "made it" now?

Well, this has been the most vile, despicable act of public racism I have ever heard in over 3 decades on this planet. I am truly shocked at how anyone could find this even remotely acceptable enough to play on a top radio station with 10 million listeners - most of them our young & impressionable FUTURE!

This is the last straw on the camel's back. When you insult a group so deeply, you leave them no choice but to protest if they have even the slightest shread of self-respect. So, OFF WITH THEIR HEADS, axe 'em and let them get rehired by the KKK! H*ll, even the KKK probably don't want 'em.

FVCK YOU Miss TARSHA NICOLE JONES, Todd Lynn & Rick Delgado!!! You fvck with Asians, you fvck yourselves! STOP THE HATE, NOW!

Karma is a mutha! Todd Lynn should have thought about it before making fun of the mentally retarded kid that was found dead up in Harlem at the bottom of a laundry chute. Now everybody is laughing at him.

I told you yesterday that miss jones wasn't going anywhere. It took not97 years to replace Star and Bucwild and all they came up with was miss jones.

You reap what you sow!

I suppose all publicity isn't good, huh?

Mis Jones has gots to go!! The sh!t that she said to miss info was just as bad as the song itself. There's no room for her ignorance and misconceptions of Asians makes me wanna puke..

Miss. Jones never said she was sorry about what she said to Miss. Info. She has only apologized (sort of) for her "poor judgement" for playing the song. For that she should get fired!

Thanks for all of the updates! I still feel that the firings of Todd Lynn and Rick Delgado are not enough! A two week suspension for Miss Jones is NOTHING compared to the damage she has done.

She has a history of promoting Hate (Chinkopoly) and should be FIRED!!

Please continue to write to Emmis Corp! They're waiting for all the excitement to die down, but let's be vigilant in our demands!

I hope when all this dies down, that many of you will have taken the time to LEARN about things that you previously had not.

As Americans, we take so many things for granted, and we expect so much of others when we can't even lift ourselves up out of our own ignorance. We take our freedom of speech for granted. We don't appreciate the privilege that it is to be living in an open and free society.

It is February. It is Black History Month. It is the Chinese New Year. We should be celebrating our differences, our achievements and APPRECIATING the fact that we're offered so many opportunities for our voices to be heard.

How many of you register to vote? How many of you donated your hard earned money to relief agencies? How many of you volunteer time to mentor children in underprivileged neighborhoods?

Yet here (some of) you are, trying to promote hatred instead of finding a solution to how we can ALL BETTER OURSELVES FROM THIS. How we can LEARN FROM THIS.

Should we not try to come to some solution? Is it that hard for this so-called educated society to find some sort of common ground so that we can move beyond this?

I ask ALL OF YOU to stop with the mud-slinging and FOCUS on HOW we can move forward from here. We still live in a civilized society don't we? Thanks.

HOT 97 WILL NOT FIRE MISS JONES BECAUSE STAR AND BUCWILD ARE BACK IN TOWN. THEY WOULD RATHER LOSE RESPECT AND MONEY THAN LOSE RATINGS TO THEM.

um...you mean $10 million and not $10 right Jay?

God...shut up FUBABEE, people aren't gonna stop talking shit to each other just on account that you asked them to. Stop living in a fantasy world where you think people will just bow down to your every command. Let the people post what they want. That's why it's called an open forum. I see every other post you have made is pleading with the people to stop hating. By the way i'm against all of this nonsense that HOT97 has put out, but just because you post something doesn't mean it's going to change the way people felt from the getgo about the whole thing.

I don't see what the point is in shooting down someone for saying the right thing.

Look into a mirror before you call someone else out.

No need to address this to anyone in particular, if you fit the bill then you'll know who I'm addressing this to.

the morning show resumes next week...starring Miss jones! Miss Info go to VH1

"Today at 1:30 Councilman John Liu will hold a press conference, where he is expected to demand that Emmis give $10 to Tsunami aid rather than $1 million." Jay, is that right - ten dollars? or is it meant to be $10 mill?

I don't think it's right to demand donation. No matter what happened or what they did. People donate out of their kindness. I'm sure Tsunami relief can use the money however, but it shouldn't matter how much anyone donates, though the more the better. I want something else to be done. Like fire Miss Jones. I want the whole station to shut down.

You all who criticized me have your heads in the sand. You think this incident is only a unique case of racism from Todd Lynn and Miss Jones? You don't think that the majority of HOT 97 audience and management are racists? They composed, played, and replayed the song. The audience enjoyed it. No black person protested the song until WE started making a fuss. Open your eyes, Asians.

What do you think the main audience base of Hot 97 think? When Philly 99FM was criticised for calling an Indian a "rat-eater," the spokesperson said that she didn't think the complaints were legitimate because they were coming from people who don't even listen to hip hop.

On tv and media, there are virtually no representations of Asians, and if there are, they are all rude, psycho, or terrorists. How many of you have watched "King of the Hill"? Do you see how the asian father is represented? How many of you watched show about picking comics on NBC? Did you see the racism Dat Phan faced? Racial slurs flew from that black bitch, Tess's, mouth regularly.

No one spoke up then. Black racism is rampant.

And don't teach me about Asia. I have been there throughout the region---and yeah, throughout China--which is more than I can say about you assimilated Asian-Americans. I work hard in this country and I am proud of my heritage. And by the way, Indian civilzation is the oldest civilzation--the Indus Valley is the cradle of civilzation. Hinduism is the oldest religion there. Even if there is dispute, I KNOW that Africa is not the cradle of civlization--if anything, it is the Middle East.

Regardless, African-Americans do not have any rights to AFRICAN civilization. Most of those uneducated idiots couldn't even pinpoint Kenya on the map or Nigeria. Give me a break. Most of them don't even know that Africa is a continent. They're too busy shooting each other in the 'hood and dropping out of sixth grade to have babies.

Wake up people! Especially you Asians (whites are useless, they are so castrated and feel so guilty about slavery, they will let blacks do anything). Open your eyes, Asians. My Japanese friend, only the other day, was treated so badly by a black ass obese cashier, and when we were leaving, the black-ass bitch loudly said about my friend, "damn asian, can't speak english." My friend was VISITING me from japan. I know that she speaks better English than those "We was goin' to smoke crack" English spoken by blacks. Learn verb conjugation. It is "We were" not "We was."

Listen, i have more international and gloabl friends than all of you. I KNOW that Miss Jones and Todd Lynn are not exceptional cases of racists. I know that they come from communities who have taught them to behave this way, to think this way. We can get Todd Lynn fired, but what are we doing to stop all those Todd Lynns who treat us all like shit? Remember L.A.? Asian stores were looted. That was a whole community. Get blacks to apologize for LA looting of Asian stores. Koreans, speak up, dammit.

The racism in the 'tsunami song' is about the racial slurs, and stereotypes. In and of themselves, slurs are empty labels. They are a lot more harmful when coupled with the context in which they're uttered; when combined with obviously degrading and extreme stereotypes; when used with clear intent, to let the target of the slurs know in no uncertain terms how they're thought of. The slurs for the Chinese are noteworthy because of the fact that the disaster occurred in the Indian Ocean, and the great majority of the victims are not Chinese. Yes, the song was insensitive to the victims and friends and family. The song was, at the same time, racist, because it specifically called out the Chinese, who are not exactly intimately connected to the tsunami, except in the minds of those who don't know any different. Ignorance of the facts about a certain race or ethnicity of people leads to...racism. And that underscores the phenomenon that, to a large part of the world, Asians are still not understood. What exactly does it mean to be Asian? Many ethnicities fall under the category. Unfortunately, the stereotype is "they all look alike and you can't tell them apart" even when it's the most diverse race in the world. I know 'racism' commonly conjures up KKK or black civil rights, and we can be very reluctant to use that word unless the circumstances are familiar - such as the N word because there's been so much history known to the general public. But, that 'general public' is changing. The makeup of America isn't just white and black, and in 30 years it'll be a hugely different picture. Asians do not yet have the clout and representation in media now. In the 'beginning' there will be a lot of debate about what is racist and what isn't, just because it's not an established concept.

Oh, and other thing. Even my college friends, one from Ethiopia, another from Zimbabwe, and another from Nigeria, agree that BLACK-AMERICANS are racists. Even they don't want to associate with Black-americans.

Well, I wrote again to the FCC and complain why they still haven't address this problem and this is what response I got:

You are receiving this email in response to your inquiry to the FCC.

Neither the FCC nor any other government agency can direct broadcasters to present or refrain from presenting specific programs, or tell them
how to conduct their call-in shows and other programs. Broadcasters are responsible for deciding what their stations present to the public.

* Broadcasters are not obligated to give any particular individual an opportunity to participate in a broadcast unless the broadcast involves a candidate for public office.

Indecent Language:

Thank You

--------------------------------------------

Heres what the FCC Consumer Fact Sheets states that was included in my e-mail:

Specifics of the FCC's Rules Governing Obscene and Indescent Programming.

Congress has given the FCC the responsibility for administratively enforcing the law that governs obscene and indecent programming. The Commission may revoke a station license, impose a monetary forfeiture, or issue a warning for the broadcast of obscene or indecent material. Obscene speech is not protected by the First Amendment and cannot be broadcast at any time. To be considered obscene, material must meet a three-prong test:

An average person, applying contemporary community standards, must find that the material, as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest;

The material must depict or describe, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by applicable law; and

The material, taken as a whole, must lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.

Indecency is defined as "language or material that, in context, depicts or describes, in terms patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards for the broadcast medium, sexual or excretory organs or activities." Indecent programming contains patently offensive sexual or excretory references that do not rise to the level of obscenity. The courts have held that indecent material is protected by the First Amendment and cannot be banned entirely. It may, however, be restricted in order to avoid its broadcast during times of the day when there is reasonable risk that children may be in the audience.

Consistent with a federal statute and federal court decisions interpreting the indecency statute, the FCC adopted a rule pursuant to which broadcasts - both on television and radio - that fit within the indecency definition and that are aired between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. are subject to indecency enforcement action.

------------------------------------------------

Does that mean thay can't do a damn thing due to the free speech act? They don't consider this incident "obscene" of "indescent!?! How can they just do nothing when they know this is stright-up wrong. Even with the audio evidence and the countless emails complaining to them? If it was about some jock making fun of the 9-11, I seriously believe they would do something about this. I'm not a lawyer so can someone explain to me if its true that the FCC can't legally punish those involve with the Tsunami song?

Oh, another thing. I am senior at Standford. My father worked in a 7-11 for 20 years to get me to college. My sister is going to medical school. That's called PARENTING. We were dirt poor, but we knew about values. We had nothing. No welfare. No federal aid. No affirmative action. I know that getting just Todd Lynn and Miss jones fired isn't the solution. The problem goes deep. Talk to my father who got harrassed by you ignorant welfare-sucking assholes. None of you can hold a candle to my father. HE IS THE ASIAN SPRIIT.

Asian from West Coast, shut up already. No one wants to hear your life story. Instead of complaining here about it, why don't you do something about it? Guess what? You are also a racist, so you are no better than Miss Jones and Todd Lynn.

"Talk to my father who got harrassed by you ignorant welfare-sucking assholes."

"Most of those uneducated idiots couldn't even pinpoint Kenya on the map or Nigeria."

"have been there throughout the region---and yeah, throughout China--which is more than I can say about you assimilated Asian-Americans."

So, let me guess... Making front of African Americans is not enough. You have to attack "assimilated Asian-Americans."

For starters, you don't live our lives so stop pretending you do.

Secondly, wow... Stanford. I guess you must feel great. Its funny that even Stanford can't educate someone like you to not have prejudice. (That's if you went to Stanford)

Hey, did you know that racism can work 2 ways? One form of racism is to put people down because of race. Another form of racism is to put yourself on top because of race.

If you want my credentials, I never got any handouts. I never was on welfare, ate "gov'ment cheese and all that other bs.

I am a harvard student. I graduated college when I was 16. Oh, you know what...

Forget credentials, I don't have anything to prove to you.

All I can say is...

You want people to admit that they are racist. Can you do it first?

what's wrong w/black americans West Coast Asian? It's great you have friends from Africa who hate the blacks here. I guess you are one of those followers who just do what everybody does or thinks. I am an asian too who worked w/my parents in an all black county and received a lot of racism too, but that doesn't mean I hate all black people for what some did. It's pretty fucking annoying how you think you got the whole race situation figured out. No wonder people like Miss Jones thinks asians think that we think as a race that we are superior. Ooooh you go to Stanford, who gives a flying fuck. Keep doing Math 5000 bro.

Asian from West Coast -

Your father is irrelevant to the discussion. You can not presume to be the only one here who came from a poor family and rose to prosperity. And do not DARE to presume such a thing as you're probably offending almost all of us here. 7-11 would have been PARADISE for my father and grandfather. My parents were ridiculed and humiliated by all of America when they came here. They were pointed at and laughed at, openly, for struggling with English. I don't hate America for it, I only despise the attitude that generates that sort of behavior.

Applying something you learned about one or two or a handful of guys to EVERY SINGLE African American in the United States is false, preposterous and an overgeneralization taken to the extreme. The truth in your statement lies only in the fact that racism is rampant. But you're holding WAY too many people accountable now -- you're holding every single African that ever LIVED accountable (except for "Black Guy" from Chicago). You're talking condescendingly about Blacks as if they're worthless individuals who have nothing to contribute to society. You're wrong.

I agree on fighting racist, nativist sentiments. I do not agree on fighting it with more racism. You're just fueling the hate, dude. You're giving real racists more firepower to use against you. Any African American wandering through here now, reading your post, could just point at it and say "SEEEE!??? THOSE GODDAMNED ASIANS, THEY'RE SO FUCKING RACIST!" And we don't want that, because the majority of us do not feel racist... as you do.

Fight racism, not races.

AfWC - you've got a great education but seems your views on Black Americans are a bit extreme and biased. another heritage from your 'rents, maybe??

anything else you want to add to your Curriculum Vitae?? go ahead, impress us some more.

At this point, I'm ready to see a cage match between Miss Jones and "Asian from the West Coast", because they clearly deserve each other.

And Mr "AFWC"? Since you are at Stanford, do yourself a favor and spend some time at the Martin Luther King papers archive there. You might learn something.

Anyway. J, good work keeping us all informed!

Although I disagree with Asian from Westcoast's prejudice against African Americans, I know where he is coming from. It's a classic example of how racism perpetuates itself through the people it hurts, and how easily that pain can turn into hatred.

THE POINT IS, there are good and bad people within EVERY race, ethnicity, gender, culture, etc... [no shit right] So no matter how much you try, you can never legitimize degrading people based on those criterion ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE AN IVY LEAGUE EDUCATION because YOU SHOULD KNOW that ethnicity has been SOCIALLY CONSTRUCTED and has historically been used to DIVIDE and WEAKEN people to make them DESTROY one another.

Just about EVERYBODY has been discriminated against based on the color of their skin. You may not be able to control how other people act but you CAN CONTROL your reactions. The only thing that's black and white here is whether you're part of the solution or part of the problem.

West Coast Asian I know it's hard, I'm from LA and believe me, I know how things can get. But you have the resources and the education to RISE ABOVE this and do something great for the cause. Being judgemental and acting prejudicely will NEVER help people like your father receive the respect they deserve.

"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but by how we react to what happens; not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thought, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst…a spark that creates extraordinary results."

WHO WANTS TO DO SOMETHING ON THE WEST COAST?!?!
I'm in LA and this thing is only getting bigger and bigger as more and more people are finding out everyday (due to the lag time). We're feeling the need to do something. Nobody, myself included, is happy about Miss Jones remaining and I'm NOT going to be cool until more accountability is taken. CONTACT ME and let's get this thing going. We had to fight to get the song pulled, fight to get an apology, fight to get them suspended, and fight to get some kind of corporate reaction. It's not enough yet and we can't stop. I'm open to all ideas and suggestions so PLEASE drop me a line...

I'm sure I don't need to tell anyone that "West Coast Asian" is off-base here, when he falls into the "blacks vs. asians" trap. I'll just note one more time that the movement to speak out against this was started by a Black man (myself). This is not about anyone's race, this is about humanity, integrity and responsiblity.

maybe WEST COAST ASIAN isnt really asian but one of the idiots trying to start shit.

Thank You Jay and Hiphopmusic.com for carrying the torch on this issue. This is not a blacks V.S. Asian or we are out to get miss Jones and her crew campaign. We are simply demanding a fitting pusnishment for the crime that the host and her crew made. They said the pen/mic is mightier than a sword, with great power comes with great responsibilities. Hopefully the moral standards from the radio stations would be set where it wouldn't have to push us American back a couple of decades. This is the war on racism in America, not a war between the races in America.

They need to fire that Miss Jones. I will continue to email sponsors notifying of my displeasure until she's fired. Jay is right on. Westcoastasian should realize that without the voices of other non-asians we'd wouldn't even have any influence. Jay has inspired me to stand up in the future against these kind of thing no matter what race is affected. It is the right thing to do.

Immis is not sincere at all about the whole instance. Keeping Jones there is the proof!!! The only way to make Immis understand our outcry is to cut off their advertising income from sponsors. Please continue to email the sponsors until justice is served.
Money is not everything. A donation of 2 weeks pay from Jones and one million by Immis to the tsunami victims can't wipe out the great pain they have caused to the tsunami victims and the Asian societies. IMMIS has to stop supporting racisum completely NOW.

Lets not get all off track people. The reason the most of us are here is to voice our outrage at the whole incident. When you feel like lashing out at others posting on this blog, just zap out some letters to hot97 and all those involved instead.

As someone posted way up top:
E-mail all of Emmis corp. executives:

jsmulyan@emmis.co
ir@emmis.com
rcummings@emmis.com
jsteele@emmis.com
khealey@emmis.com

add some more to the list...and make it easy for everyone here!

-peace

Is racism an crime to civil rights?

Racism is a crime to humanity.

A baby is a baby until we teach him/her that he/she is different from another baby.

Folks,
Keep emailing emmis, let's not stop till Jones get fired.
I don't know if they're reading the emails, but I know I'm doing my part.

Peace.

Jay Smooth,
Thanks as always.

YO GUYS LETS MAKE FUN OF THE THOUSANDS DYING EVERYMONTH IN AFRICA!!!!!!!!! FUCKIN HORNY AIDS INFESTED BASTARDS!!! PEOPLE THERE SHOULD JUST STOP FUCKIN!!!

the more you realize how close this shit hits to us asians, the more you could relate, ya dig?

People who clamor for those who want to fire Ms JOnes to instead focus on broader issues such as getting rid of racism altogether are just trying to belittle this situation. Attempting to fire Ms Jones is getting rid of racism and taking a strong stand on the line that racism and poor taste within the media cannot cros

Asian from West Coast:

I agree with everything you said.
Keep up the good work.
Fuck them lazy ass welfare bastards.

Email address update:

khealey@emmis.com AND kate@emmis.com

Please email both kate@emmis.com and khealey@emmis.com, as I'm not sure which email address Kate checks up on. But supposedly they both belong to her.

You guys are all cool--jay is the coolest.

I'm just saying that when this incident dies down, I ask you all to stand up for that voiceless clerk behind the 7-11 counter who is being harrassed. Or stand up for the 5 year old Asian kid who is racially cursed by a black guy.

What you are all doing here is fantastic--but huge acts of racism (like the Miss Jones debacle) and tiny acts of racism (like being cursed out in a 7-11 store) causes the same kinds of pain. I still think a mindset of thinking resulted in the Hot 97 incident. It didn't come out of a vacuum.

Speak up next time, too. Even if it isn't a "high-profile" incident.

Thanks Jay for your excellent work. I don't believe in violence, AT ALL. So hopefully the world will talk itself out of racism. This forum and movement is, hopefully, a start.

(btw, i HAVE been calling Hot 97, the sponsers, Emmis, etc., every day)

PEACE ALL...

check out Bishop Don "Magic" Juan at www.thebishop.us
much love....chuuuch

http://www.petitiononline.com/endhate/petition.html

What is happening with the online petitions?? Can they be forwarded to Emmiss Comm. as well??

HOT 97 HAS ALWAYS BLOWN DONKEY DICK! IT'S TIME FOR THEM TO BOUNCE & LET TRUE HIP-HOP PLAY!

I am very appalled by their actions some juistice was served but the whole crew whom participated in tzunami song should be fired.

As a Black American i am discusted about the whole issue.

The day rascism stamps out the day everyone will live a happily life.

In memory to all that left the shores of asia, i feel sympathy for.

"I'm just saying that when this incident dies down, I ask you all to stand up for that voiceless clerk behind the 7-11 counter who is being harrassed. Or stand up for the 5 year old Asian kid who is racially cursed by a black guy."

I know what your saying. However, I have a better message. Why not fight all forms of racism. I don't car if the clerk is indian, white, black, etc. Im going to fight all forms of mistreatment. The will of good knows no race. It is universal.

There are now 5 minutes left in your 15 minutes of fame

Last week I sent emails to WQHT, Emmis and sponsors. I'm not in an Emmis market but obviously I can still be offended by the racism no matter where it occurs.


Good luck carrying on the fight. And don't listen to WQHT. Radio stations don't employ personalities that have no audience.

As someone who has studied the history of race and ethnic relations in America I want to know what will appease the sharks after they get their blood. There has to be a more positive outcome to this then people being fired. So can someone tell me what the goals is. I cannot understand for the life of me why all these people of asian descent or so offended by this song while turning a blind eye to the injustices committed by the Indonesian Army on the people of the Acheh province. Like how even now they are selling the supplies that you idiots are rasing to the people who need them. Lets not forget the human rights abuses and the exploitation by the indonesian government of the Acheh province( the reason why they want American troops out of their country). If John Liu , jin and the rest of you other nimcompoops wants to pay respect to the dead how about making sure that the people who need help get it. How about writing your gov officials and the United nations about this instead of a stupid radio station.
P.s this is the greatest thing to happen to Jin and miss info ( the teflon Dj{due to the color of her skin hmmmmmmmm???} )
Also leave Al alone because when he does take a stand everyone including the asian community calls him a blowhard. So he should look out for those who normally support him.

hi im from the uk and just heard what was on HOT97, thats so disgusting it would never happen in endland, whats funny about people dying? did hot97 find 9/11 funny. action has to be taken against MISS INFO. KEEP THE FIGHT GOING UNTIL AT LEAST SOME JUSTICE IS RECIEVED

Micheal, you mean Miss Jones, didn't you?

no he is right miss info

lol miss jones will not be fired and this is like a vaction for her minus the pay ( still think she got some pay thou ) . hot97 has to go up against 105.1 in the morning so right now the hav eto use her to keep and get the ratings where they want to be so far they have more people listening to the station because of this.iam sure Rick Del Gado will be working at some other radio station maybe even a emmis radio station some where and todd was just a fill in guy so in short this is bullshit .. they "let some people go " and paid some money to show that they are sorry ... you know what would really hurt them find out who does business with them on the radio then send out info that that company supports their actions and has no heart and call the emmis main office and let the stock holders know you will never stop getting at the company not for nothing but you can use so many things against the company ans ask them if the shoe was on the other foot would they let it go so easy look up the companys name and the meaning for starters .....

" Cummings said Miss (Tarsha) Jones, along with sidekicks DJ Envy and Tasha Hightower, will be back on the air a week from today, but must donate two weeks' salary to Give2Asia tsunami relief. "

This is Black History Month, and it's ashamed that Ms Jones haven't learned the lessons of our forefathers and realized that racism hurt everyone.

J, I have to wonder how many people are assuming you are white...

You dumbasses need to realize that all you are doing is fueling the fire here. You know how many thousands of people now know all about Hot97 that never did before. Not to mention Emmis. And when this has all blown over, I GUARANTEE that they will have more business because of it. From recognition alone. Yes I know, it's hard to believe the masses are so stupid. But its true, just look at this blog. I don't ever want to come back here again, so I'm not posting my real name. hiphopmusic.com my ass. More like, I'm racially disturbed and wanna bitch to make corporations more famous.com asses...

BTW I am not agreeing with anything they did, I think it was tasteless, but Jesus people. What is this accomplishing? bitch, bitch, bitch...

I have to say that it's a pretty smart move on their part. By dragging the issue out like this, it makes us look bad.

First they issue an apology, then they suspend the morning show, finally they fire 2 people. But only with lots of agitation on our part in between. I have a feeling that if we keep protesting, most people will start saying "What the hell are you still protesting for? Get over it!" If they aren't already. There's little to no media support and the existing media spin on it seems to be "well, Hot 97/Emmis apologized and fired 2 people, but the protestors still aren't satisfied."

For those of you falling into the Asian vs Black trap... you have to realize there's racists in whatever race you can name.

There's definitely blacks that are disgustingly racist toward Asians. I've seen it, heard it, etc. But you know what? I've met plenty of Asians that are horrendously racist. They think blacks are violent and stupid. They won't say it to their faces, but they'll say it and mean it to people they know well. A middle aged Asian man (with 2 kids and a very mild disposition) tell me that it's bad to be in a car accident with Mexican because they're likely to try to lie their way out of responsibility. When I told him that wasn't true he was actually surprised.

What does this mean? It means race doesn't matter when it comes to racism. No one race is free from blame. If you're going to be racist against a race just because some one from that race is racist against your race, you might as well hate every race but your own. Lashing out against racism by using racism of your own is just making the problem worse.

And Jason, I don't even know why I'm bothering responding to you but Mike copy and pasted his T-shirt sale 11 times so far in the comment sections of hiphopmusic.com concerning Hot97. If Jay wanted to post it on his site he would. If he's not seeing it, Mike should email him instead of copy and pasting the same thing over and over.

And btw I love how you're complaining about my long posts that repeat what other people I've said yet you're crusading for someone who has copy and pasted the same thing 11 times?

I'm not against his announcing of his T-shirt sale. But it's there twice in the last news post, once in each news post before that and THREE times in this one. Sheesh.

miss jones is a bigot biotch. karma is lookin for your ass. watch out.

Didn't I just tell you guys to shut the hell up about this? wow, bunch of whiny little shits you are, playing right into the corporations hands. They're up there in their high thrones laughin their asses off right now, while they dry off from the swim in their money pool.

congratulations

Hey, if Todd Lynn and Rick Delgado think the death of thousands of people is funny, then they must find getting fired a RIOT.

For the people who just don't understand what the outrage is all about: you don't need to understand. But next time hopefully it's not YOUR race/culture/religion that's singled out. And hopefully it's not the death of YOUR loved ones that mocked.

waaah..

you seek a reason to complain. nobody is hurting your race but the forces of nature... and your own perception of a silly debacle.

waah

At least I cry for a good reason.

No worries Ming. I know who the intelligent ones in here are.

This took me some time to create so do your thing by calling and emailing them continuously until they get the message that the Jones witch should have been booted along with any of the other fools who have willingly participated in creating that song! It was not just Todd Lynn and Rick Delgado so it is not quite over yet.

I hope the media, whether it be TV stations/radio stations/ or Publishers, etc.,. will now think twice before they take a cheap shot against a world tragedy and Asians like these fools have. Maybe one day the word "ch**k* will be as taboo as the *N* word is in our society. The media should not be allowed to publicly use that word such as how they are extremely cautious not to slip with the forbidden "N" word. Racism will not be tolerated and the media will not exploit us for their cheap laughs no longer.

AfWC, i probably should know better and not comment, but you really scare me. It's one thing for ignorant (whatever that means) folk to be racist, but quite another when educated (whatever that means) folk, like yourself, start ranting and raving that racist shit. Get your head out DSouza's ass for christ's sake! Maybe it'll help you see things differently and with some compassion for others than yourself. Although i doubt if a solid education like yours will ever be able to teach you that.

ASIAN'S LOOK BETTER THAN TODD LYNN....APES LOOK EVEN BETTER THAN HIM.

anyone see this today?

MISS INFO MAY SUE HOT 97

Miss Info, the Hot-97 morning team member who did not participate in the infamous "Tsunami Song," is mulling legal action against the station for creating "a hostile work environment," her lawyer said yesterday.

Full story in daily news

I'M SORRY BUT MISS JONES HAS GOT TO GO!!!!

PEOPLE DO NOT BE SATISFIED WITH WHAT WE'VE HEARD SO FAR. MISS JONES IS JUST AS RESPONSIBLE AS THE OTHER TWO THAT GOT FIRED!!!!

DO NOT LET UP!

"don't worry we know who the intelligent ones are in here?" Who the fuck are you to say who is intelligent or not FUBABEE. keep crying like the little bitch that you are and be sure to keep patting yourself on the back for how "intelligent" you are.

I have the right to express my views. It's called my opinion. If you don't like it, that's just too bad.

I'm not the one who's crying now, am I?

Call me what you want, you're just wasting your time if you think your little ranting is going to get me all mad.

And why are YOU being such a complainer about what I choose to express? I never said anything to you, whoever you are (hiding behind a fake email).

I'm just asking everyone to stop with the name calling and focus on the real issue. If you can't understand that then maybe you need to think about why you're being hostile to someone for trying to keep the peace, and steering this forum away from the real issue at hand.

I must say that I'm extremely disappointed at the emphasis placed on race with this controversy. It seems like everyone on this message board is up in arms over her ignorance of referring to Asians as chinks and everyone seems to be completely overlooking the larger picture. One being the message that this sends to her urban audience - black, asian, hispanic etc. about respect for life and why that was allowed to air. If it were a white pop audience, I don't think that song would've hit the airwaves at all! I don't think her reference to Asians as chinks is acceptable, but I do feel that racism is much more sophisticated now than a black person being called a nigger or an asian a chink etc. especially coming from someone as dumb and ignorant as Miss Jones. There are larger racism that need to be fought yet the moment the n word comes out or some racial slur, we wanna protest. We're not protesting - or it doesn't seem like we are - the strong disrespect this radio station has for us as people of color. It seems like we're simply protesting the usage of the word chink. I feel like this parody is bigger than a race issue...they were poking fun at "Africans drowning" kids sold into slavery and trees going through people's heads. As a listener, though I am offended by racial slurs and we shouldn't accept that, but I'm even more offended by the gross message that they're sending about life and why that radio station would think that we'd find that parody entertaining? And the fact that she's only suspended for two weeks is appalling! What is their obligation to humanity and how they regard their listeners to the degree that they'd just put any garbage and personality on that station for us to listen to.

I get it!!!. Ted must be miss jones using an alias!! how else do you explain such ignorance?!!!

This is being reported on the NY Radio Message Board

"(Cue X-Files Music) Interesting how Miss Info, the Asian member of the morning show, was able to separate herself from the morning show just as the Asian Media Watch was about to attack.

Remember, the song played for 4 days prior to ANY dissention and they were airing listener complaint calls about the song with out a peep from her.

Was she tipped off that the Asian media watch was coming down on them and decide she better try and save herself first???

Did she get some "Info" keep it to herself and jump ship before the iceberg hit???

Hmmmmm...... "

Hmmmmm...... "

that's an interesting theory AConspiracy, however, i've heard miss info disagree w/ her co-hosts on several occassions and the heat she's taken from them, especially miss jones, has given her the "just say nothing and let it go" attitude...and judging by the reactions of Todd and bitch uh, miss jones when she did speak up you can understand why.

I hope that everyone can see through the smoke screen that Emmis has put up. They thought we were stupid enough to enjoy that disgraceful song now they think we are stupid enough to believe that only Delgado and Lynn should be fired. Anyone who heard the song, their are 2 men singing parts and 1 woman. They have only said Delgado wrote and produced and Lynn Said shooting asians. WHAT ABOUT THE CHIOR. Which consisted of Lynn, DJ Envy and Ms. Jones. The only acknowledgement that Emmmis has given to a SINGER is that it was the Asst. Why wasn't she fired. If they address that trash for what it is they would have to fire the whole morning staff, -Ms. Info, -the Asst.

Sierra, I think your right, if the Asst. takes the heat for signing then she KEEPS her job, because they have certainly acknowledged she sang. But you know what when there is smoke there is fire and when Lynn and Delgado think about there jobs and maybe families they have to feed and the others keep their jobs you will see more casualties of that morning show, most people don't like to GO DOWN ALONE

man...if a similar tragedy happened to any other ethnicity, do you think they would just sit there and take it up the a$$? imagine if someone made a parody song about the 9/11 tragedy...all you die hard new yorkers...would you sit there and take it? the problem is asians haven't spoken out enough in the past, so people think its ok to make fun of them b/c no one will say anything. it's the easy race to bully. the more protest that happens, the less asians will be humiliated in the public eye, and that's what the ultimate goal should be here.

re: comments on Info's "timing".

Given the recent obvious planted email setting delgado up for the fall do you think that message about Info holds any credibility?

Watch as Emmis and it's flunkies try to discredit Info now that she's come forward.

Reality is that there IS a problem at that company that goes deeper then any tsunami song.

You'll likely see this come to the surface if they don't settle with Info out of court and issue a gag order in exchange for throwing more money at the problem.

Jay, Is it possible to post this on the main page? Thanks!

Subject: Response to the Recent News of your Decision regarding Hot 97 Morning Show program

Dear Emmis Executives,

News of the temporary suspension and soon return of Ms. Jones is not a viable option and we, the public, feel that she should be terminated immediately. She is an openly racist spokesperson, and this is not the first time she was involved in such a disparaging attempt in targeting Asians. She has also encouraged listeners to create a game called "chinkopoly" because she was obviously personally offended by a game that was manufactured, "ghettopoly," a few years ago. She feuds racism and encourages it even. This is not acceptable behavior from a media spokesperson who has the means of influencing the public listeners.

Instead of the sizable donation to the Tsunami relief fund you guys have agreed upon, the public would have rather seen Ms. Jones terminated along with the 2 who were, Todd Lynn and Rick Delgado. Is the donation an act of kindness or more for publicity in hopes of gaining back the sponsors' trust so that they would continue advertising on your program station? After all, Jackson Hewitt, McDonald's, Coca Cola, Sprint, Reebok, and Toyota have all issued statements against your radio station's demeaning tactics of turning a world tragedy into a cheap attempt at mockery of the Asians. The first 4 companies I have listed have withdrawn further advertisements on your program, which I think is quite commendable.

Please read the views of many people expressed on the following websites:

www.hiphopmusic.com

and on your Yahoo public stock exchange information message board:

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/mb?s=EMMS

Again, we, the public, would have rather seen all of the appropriate employees terminated instead of the sizable donation offered. After all, the message that you are conveying is that you do not take the public's views seriously because if you would have read all our emails, phone calls, and complaints - you would have realized that Ms. Jones is not a postive role model to your station or society or even as a human being. And yet, she still stays on board. Unbelievable...

Sincerely,

im asian and im tired of asian complaints as well.

Mike instead of spamming, why don't you post a DIRECT LINK to the crappy shirt instead of the URL to the website. I'm skeptical of your claim...

tiredofasiancomplaints,

yeah, u have a point... asians get walked all over because they are passive... so what the hell do u think some of us are doing? we're trying to change the media's perception that they can no longer continue to disparage asians publicly. the FCC should be taking more control but they obviously are not so this is the only route for now. you obviously took the time to read my lengthy email posting so why do you care so much if you are tired of the asian complaints?

the sponsors have discontinued their advertisements on the morning program, well that's better than nothing...

i don't live in nyc so i don't have access to the station...and can't keep track of what is being advertised on the morning show program. i can only base it on what has been posted on this site. so don't call me stupid.

really, is that true? they only care about $$$? no shiet sherlock....

u listen to HOT 97? good for you

and another thing... Fuk You too!

Anyways, Keep the letters going until Ms. Jones gets off the air!

And for those of you who are tired of Asians complaining then why do you keep reading these posts over and over again? In my view, this is the first time Asians have united and took a stance for once. So how can you be tired when it has only just begun?

by the way, i'm not even full asian. i'm part white... regardless, i consider myself asian too.

I just wanted to tell everyone that I will stop whining and telling everyone how dumb they are EXCEPT for Ming.

Furthermore I am only 15 years old so nobody should respect my opinion anyways. This will be my last post. Thanks for putting up with my constant nagging.

tiredofasiancomplaints,

you dumb mutha-fvcking fool....you think you're tired of hearing complaints??!!

what if MLK was "tired" of hearing "complaints"? you think you're dumbass would have so much freedom and liberty that you enjoy today if it wasn't for activists that spoke out against racism and the institutional policies that was set out to keep minorities in this country down??!!

next time...before you open up the filthy trap you call a mouth, think about all the freedom and privileges you enjoy today and all the "complaints" that was heard back in the civil rights era and the changes that was made due to those voices.

now...imagine yourself having to go to a "color" bathroom or a "color" restuarant and see how "tired" your dumb, ignorant, narrow minded bitch ass will be of THAT!

Props to Jay and all that's been involved in this whole travesty!

I could really care less if this song said racial slurs like niggers or chinks or whatever. Everybody's a racist one way or the other but just won't admit it. The real beef I have with this song is that it downplayed the fact about 200,000 or more lives were lost and it was all turned into a joke. That part gets me pissed, the race issue I don't really give a shit about. That's the point many people here are missing. It shouldn't be a race issue, but how human lives were taken and it was made fun about in this song. That part is disgusting.

and I highly doubt that anyone in america, minus the sick deranged people, would think a 9/11 parody song would be funny either. same situation. i hope someone actually does try a 9/11 parody song though and see hoq much of a bigger deal it would be than what people are putting this tsunami parody song out to be. that's how people are, everything's funny until it hits closer to home.

yes....this should be an issue about the song and the contents of the song and the people responsible for the creation and airing of the song on PUBLIC radio. There should be accountabliltiy for this type of act just as how CBS is now using a 2 second delay of live broadcast to prevent the same thing from happening in last year's Superbowl.

I don't see Emmis trying to do that. Sure...they fired the producer and the dj but it's not enough...especially since there is a history of the same type of irresponsible material that's been aired by the same station and same radio host. Everyone involve needs to be fired whether they are black, white, asian, etc...

WHAT i'm sick of is these fools downplaying the whole incident and posting crap such as the one tiredofasiancomplaints posted. If they aren't any active protests and if people aren't taking a stand for what's right and denouncing the wrong that's taken place, then NOTHING will change.

I've been saying the same thing. This song glorifies and applauds the deaths of 200,000 people, saying in essence that Miss Jones and crew were happy that they are dead.

I find that unconcionable.

tiredofasiancomplaints:

Poor baby. Would you find it in your heart to say to the people who had oved ones die in 9/11 to stop complaining? "just get over it"?

tireofasiancomplaints, for a dick who says he or she is tired of asian complaints, you sure are complaining a lot yourself. all that you have been doing on here sure has been a lot of bitching, and whining as well. so you get over it too.

as for making that comment about asian people. same could be said about you and your family. funny looking, and an easy target, retard. lol.

you're right...people do die every day....just not 200,000+ in one day and in one tragic instance you freakin idiot...

and to have that tragedy trivialize and poked fun of by moronic and classless idiots over in Hot97....too bad you and those fools are not of the people that do die everyday....this world would be a better place without you guys

wow, tired sounds like a real pu**y. the type of cat that would'nt have the balls to stand up fo sh*t. im from nyc bro, and if i saw a lill b*itch like u on the street i'd make u run ur pockets and snuff you in front of ur girl, if u could find a broad stupid enough to be with somebody as ignorant as u. i aint even asian, but i can't stand b*itch ass ni**as. go to school and get a ged or something instead of wasting everybody's time. all you are and ever will be a a drain in the system and my taxpayer $$$ with your retarted mentality. u sound like your just there fo us to spit on as we walk over you, a complete lowlife. pathetic - respect to all the lives that passed.

ted= miss jones? no. ted = todd obviously!!!

p.s. can someone get mike's spam out of here. with 286 comments (so far) it is hard enough to keep up on this without crap like that. once was borderline spam. twice is freakin annoying.

you know i mean the other mike, right?

I'm GLAD MISS JONES gets to stay.

Everyone knows, at least if you actually listen to the show that she is the true talent and that Miss Info is just a boring twat who IMO should have been fired a long time ago.

She's a dick riding groupie when artists come in and is NEVER FUNNY. Plus, if she was so upset about the Asian stuff, how come every morning when they did celebrity drama and used the kung fu fighting music she always played along? She's just playing the race card and all you suckers have been had. I've even heard her call herself a gook...what the hell is that?

They should fire her and bring back Todd...at least her was REAL.

I AM AN ASSJACK!

Assjack,

hahahaha "atleast her was REAL." What the hell does that mean? Ahahah, you are an assjack, jackass. What an illiterate cunt, hahaha.

Dr. Martin Luther King jr. must be rolling in his grave to think that all he had worked for, died for, is wasted on people like Miss Jones and her hostility towards all races.

The final word: this is beyond a racial issue since many westerners also died in the tragedy, although people would love to use the race card on this one. This has nothing to do with free speech, although she has a right to voice her opinions, to mock and taunt the victims is tasteless and evil. This is pure evil and inhumane in the worst sense of the word. Let's keep up the protest, they're hoping it'll die down, but we have a responsibility to keep this up. Take a little time out of your schedule to write a letter to someone important, someone you might know, anyone...just spread the world. This has to stop and should not be tolerated anywhere.

"The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood."---M.L.K jr.

I wonder if a small handful of people who are ignorant and resent society could hijack an open forum where they could post under different psuedonyms and pretend as if they were a unified front of people.

I think we've just proven it here.

People are bitching at others for standing up and fighting in what they believe in. They say we're just bitching and not doing anything. Do you see the sponsors pulling out? Do you see the people getting fired? Doing nothing INDEED!

What are you doing? You're doing nothing, you're trying to spread the message of hate. You bitch and try to make this a race issue. JAY IS BLACK! This not an Asian only issue. So please stop posting worthless crap that's congesting this board.

You know if you waste more time posting here, your mommy might ground you because she thinks you're looking at porn. I gurantee you would never say half the crap you say on here if you were in a crowded room full of people. All you haters are too cowardly, hence all the psuedonyms. You're afraid people are going to blast your inbox, maybe find out where you really live, who you really are.

Be big and bad on the internet, you all are pathetic.

Much love to everyone who is standing up for something, not trying to tear something apart.

Jay could you turn on IP address logging? I'm sure half of the idiots who are complaing on here would leave if they new their IPs would be floating around.

You attack a corporation where it's vulnerable.

who cares if you know our IP addresses? Are you going to hack into my computer or personally come find us? Gimme a break Ming

thanks for taking the time to put together the list kelly. keep it up!! the easier you make it, the faster people can get the message to these companies.

dont pay any mind to those trying to get us to stop...if anything, it keeps me calling and writing.

lot of heat on jones...but why no one hatin on del gado and envy for actually singing it

Congratulations IP that comment hurt, no really it hurt me deeply....what exactly are people like you trying to accomplish here? If you're not Miss Jones or Todd Lynn, why defend them?

This is obviously not a first ammendment/freedom of speech issue. DJ's are liable to their corporate sponsors.

Is that why people like you resort to derogatory name calling, because you have no case against people trying to make a difference. I've wasted enough time on people like you.

ummm..get it straight Ming, I have not resorted to derogatory name calling. Where in my post did you see something derogatory? Yeah I didn't think so. Calm down buddy I'm on your side, I just think you're a little overworked about this whole thing.

OKAY, you guys may have a point that Asians are passive. We won't go somewhere and cause a riot if we're agitated, we won't use physical force, and we most certainly won't do something that may cause us to get arrested. But .. we can hack into your computer, work our asses off in school to get better jobs than you so we can become your boss and mistreat your ass, keep you oblivious to the fact that we are cursing you out in our own language, send you some hardcore viruses through emails that are disguised seemingly like someone you know, get tips and tricks from kung fu flicks (if you really make us upset), and we can be very persuasive as to make big companies deny sponsorship causing you to lose millions and millions of dollars. (And you think we're done? naaa.) Yeah we're passive, but we know what we want and that's pretty much all people need to fight for a cause. AND the struggle that's going on right now is just that. So if you're not supporting it, we don't want or need anything from you. As for the effort in trying to agitate us some more by degrading your level to "imbecile" in your comments, then give us something worth fighting about. So for you Hot 97 "supporters" (yeah right, give me a fucking break) that make comments whining about how we're "cry babies" or how you're tired of our "asian complaints," you guys are a mere blip of our time compared to what we are really fighting against. Asians make up only about 2 to 5 percent of the population but we used enough pressure to stop millions of dollars cash flow to a program that practically shitted on our name. Quantity VS. Quality.

All you guys are doing is fueling hatred with hatred. You fucking idiots. And for the love of god, stop comparing your "movement" to MLK! This is in no way similar! A joke song does not equal years of seperation and slavery! IDIOTS!

Tiggs! You are a moron!
"you dumb mutha-fvcking fool....you think you're tired of hearing complaints??!!

what if MLK was "tired" of hearing "complaints"?"

thats what you said! You are so stupid. You sit here talking about "putting an end to hate" and then come back with "motherfucking fool!" Fuck you guys and your ignorant rants.

ps sorry bout the double comment, my bad.

but still, shut up.

Fire Ms. Jones!
Fire Ms. Jones!
Fire Ms. Jones!
Fire Ms. Jones!
Kick her ASS out!

F*** all this. I'm asian and tired of hearing about it. EVERYONE needs to SHUT UP.

To Hiphop.com:

You cats must realize that the program manager and the general manager are the culprits. getting rid of Jones or anyone else does not get at the real dirt. Jones and crew were just selling out for a pay check and some fame. And She's been chasing both most of her life. Get the story straight. Todd and del whoever were just fall guys and not even convincing fall guys. Firing them is like saying - fuck ya'll.

HipHop.com my ass.

For the people who are saying they're tired of these rants, and telling everyone to give it up and to shutup, etc//:
No one asked you people who are tired of this "shit" to come on to this site, so if you're tired of all of this, then go someplace else. It's not like I see or hear about this everyday on the 11'o clock news or newspaper. My only source for all this info has been mostly from this site. So obviously if you people say you're tired of all of this, it's because you keep coming back to this site. It's also so hypocritical of the people who say miss jones has a right to freedom of speech, then turn around and tell the people who are against her to shutup. They have that right too. But whatever anyways, everyone's a hypocrite these days.

I feel like black ppl are angry or the people that firing back at us are black because Miss Jones and Todd are black. I just wanted to say no one here is racist towards black people. Well i hope not, people on this forum shoudldn't be using the words "n*gga" cause that would make YOU a hipocrite and a dumbass!!

Also black peopel who feel like we're bashing on them should put themselves in our shoes because some people are clearly aren't being understanding. If a white radio station used the word n*gga and made a "funny" song on black slavery... you guys would raising hell.

Jmoney, shut ur ass up... seriously, if you're so "TEIRD" of hearing this WHY are you on this forum?? Wtf???????????????????

Clearly you were searching sites on this Hot 97 incident and landed on this page... or if not you still came here, read this. If your so TIERDDDD why are you continuing to "waste your energy" on looking up, reading, arguing on this matter?

It's haters like you who keep us going even more.

So stop being a hipocrite, you're tierd ? Bullshit, ur just a hater. Im not a hater, i'm only a hater to towards people who hate on me or people who are hating on MY race... if you object to this then leave... no one put a gun to your head and made you come here. If you reply, (or maybe come back under another name to "dis" me back) that means you came back willingly... that means... you're NOT so teird of this shit.

Girl1 needs to learn how to spell correctly as well as most of the people on this site. It's spelled, tired....not tierrrddd and it's hypocrite, not hipocrite. hahaha, how hilarious. You're all so funny. All of these people arguing with each other on this forum. I don't take either side, I just like making fun of ALL of you. Chinks, Niggers, Spics, Desert Apes, none of you are favorites in my book, just a bunch of dumbasses bickering with each other. Best entertainment ever.

Perpahs Miss Jones, assuming she is black, should understand that the tsunami also affected Somalia too, maybe not as bad the other countries. To joke about a tragedy is really in poor taste. Perhaps Miss Jones will like this joke:

I wonder why niggers in Africa are dying . . . maybe from aids from fucking each other too much in the ass. Wait, it was passed down to them from their ancestors, the blue monkeys. Or did they did from starvation. Funny the song, "WE ARE THE WORLD" was used as a parody. Even working as slaves in the field didn't earn them enough to buy food. In any case, they died. Ohh well.

For all you dummies, I kept my job and its not a damn thing you could do about.

Jay,

No comment on the closing of the Hit Factory??? Your starting to slip. All these new visitors and your not keeping them informed about other topics? SMH

I'm tired of hearing about this song and its fallout, I understand that this is an issue close to the hearts and minds of those in here and I will do what I feel is right for me in your support. But lets get more topics of discussion going on. 300+ post for this is outta hand considering most of you are here ONLY to talk about that song as if it is the only song in hiphop right now. Granted this issue should still be talked about and action done. Let's not forget to discuss other topics.

Hey if u wanna be a focken racist. dont hide behind a mick. come out and say it in public where i can see your faces and shite. anyone know why i cant find any of them fockers faces anywhere??

Jay, Is it possible to post this on the main page? Thanks!

MIKE stop spamming!!

Don't buy his stupid shirts - go to unicef instead! What guarantee does anyone have that this dude is going to donate the profits to charity? F off.

I ask that everyone who is truly angry about this song and hot 97, the one who are truly angry at the FIRING of 2 people who have not been acknowledged as even signing on this song, I YOUR TO PLEASE COME TO THE PROTEST ON FEB 9, WHEN MS. JONES RETURNS TO WORK. She was not fired, the FCC can't do anything, but we can.

Sorry about the typos, but please come out and protest on 2/9, if you cannot make it then please send your emails and complaint's we can make a difference and WE ARE THE DIFFERENCE FOR OUR OWN CHILDREN. People took a stand against Howard Stern and he's going to satelite, DON'T GIVE UP,
and anyone who has children, PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP, they are the future. IF people like Ms. Jones continue to control the airways with such venom, hate and Evil and feed the public at large GARBAGE are we any better than her, she would not have a forum if she did not have listener's and EMMIS knows it. TAKE A STAND

Funny, If it were a white person saying "I'm going to shoot blacks" And someone made a parody song about the poverty war and mass genocide in african countries, You know Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and about half a million African Americans would be protesting. AND you know that person and their whole crew would lose their jobs. So yeah, stop being hypocrites!

laverne, please give more details about the protest on 2/9.

Miss Info Considers Legal Action Against WQHT/New York

The lone team member not fired or suspended for the now-infamous airing of a parody song that made light of victims of the Dec. 26, 2004 South Asia tsunami is deciding whether or not to take legal action against the Emmis CHR/Rhythmic known as "Hot 97."

According to her attorney, Kenneth Thompson, Miss Info is considering a lawsuit based on the station's creation of "a hostile work environment"; the host protested the airing of the song during a contentous on-air discussion with lead morning show member Miss Jones and another staffer, Todd Lynn, who has since been terminated from the station. The New York Daily News reports that Info is mulling legal action "if certain workplace issues cannot be resolved."

Link to Story in Radio & Records (Pops)

how about i posted this story yesterday morning when it hit the daily news.

all i know is that Info is gonna have a hard time as emmis tries to make her look bad.

anything to keep from having to pay her any money. hope you all stand by her as she goes through the ROUGH road she's about to travel down.

jSmooth. you're falling off man. update this site.

Isn't the FCC doing anything about this?????? I wanna know.

Let's try not to focus on the hate. Instead, think about how this incident encourages people to unite to fight racism and support tsunami victims.

Natural disaters around the world Tend to be more devastating Just goes to show how lucky we have been here in America- Natural disaters here generally stay well below the hundreds when it comes to death tolls- whereas lately, due to denser populations and slower warnings, Hundreds of thousands tend to die in natural disaters across the globe. To make fun of that or use words in poor tasts just sickens the situation more and casts out hope for humanity as a whole.

damn yo .. f*** all this .. I'm keep reading now, f*** of hearing about it, please yo needs to keep yr ass down .. there is 1 thing ya want

FIRE MS. JONES!!!!!!!!!

ok i know you are all hurt but Ms. Jones and the morning show is very good for the black community, NO ONE should have been fired, because when people say the n word on tv or radio it doesn't get as much play, and cry over. People in the tsunami died from natural disator it's sad, and it gets alot of media good and bad. But i know i would have never donated if i didn't hear how ignorate people are when they made that song. Yall atre silly, with all this anger and heat. Its called the right of speech, and all it did was put another Black man on the unemployment list

ishatorres:

How is making racist against Asians good for the black community? If someone wrote a song about lynching blacks, would it be good for his/her community? Ms. fatcow Jones is a racist and should be fired. Black people should stop trying to sugar coat it. No one put a black man on the unemployment list as you claim, he did it to himself. Get your facts straight.

Have you guys seen Emmis Communications stock slide. There was a little upswing due to the first few days of uproar over this disgrace, but it went down down down! Keep sliding baby! Woo-hoo! The Emmis stock symbol is EMMS.

Gee, I bet Todd Lynn and Rick Delgado are resentful about how Miss Jones didn't go down along with them! That's gotta be pretty demeaning, huh? I wonder whatever Miss Jones has said behind their backs to save her own ass. I would watch my back if I were you, Miss Jones. Lynn and Delgado were once your partners-in-crime, but now, they could be you biggest rivals/enemies.

Jesus christ they never said anything racist on the show stop complaining, yes they did mock the situation but being cruel and mean is completely different from being a racist. Never once did they say a racist word in that song but they did mock the deaths of all those people. Now shut up and just say you think they should be fired for their insensitivity not for their racism cause their was none.

Digi,
Maybe you are afflicted with a case of selective comprehension. You may not have picked up a racist word from the Tsunami song, but can you not read any of the overtones that it had conveyed? To top it off, the DJs even took it further by repeatedly playing that song for several days as well as subjecting Miss Info to addtional racial pigeon-holing. Just because you didn't come across a racist word in that song, how would you feel if your child was listening to it. Children, teenagers, and sadly some adults are very impressionable. Do you think it is just for the DJs and management to air this type of demeaning and inhumane rhetoric?

A big Fuck You to fat cow Jones and Hot 97.

This is REDICULOUS!!!

The fact that Jones is not terminated is outrageous. That song perpetuates the hate, the racial inequality that our great Dr.King tried to stop. How can our black brothers and sisters demand justice and fair treatment when, we, ourselves, cannot offer that to others of the different races. Have our children forgotten the struggle, the torment, the humiliation that our ancestors endured? Our ancestors were mocked with the same use of language. Instead of ch**ks, replace that with n***er. That was the hate that caused our struggle so much pain. Have we forgotten all this? This is not just about fair treatment for all, because Hip Hop has crossed all racial boundaries and has been embraced by all. We should feel proud that what was once thought of as a language of animals, has become the voice of the disenfranchised and the powerless. Brothers and Sisters, can we put the hatred behind us, and move forward, hand in hand? Can we embrace all that is different in the world and learn to live with moral dignity? Can we heed the words of those before us: I have a dream, and turn that in to a reality?

Ignorance.......

Hello, although I am not of asian background, (I am black) I find the acts of these people morally reprehensible. Miss Jones, as the instigator to the arguement with miss info, and her cruel statements, and ignorant mindset should have been the first fired...I have done radio before, and am aware of how the FCC has become very laid back on their job...But I also know that Miss Jones received a lot of support from the artists whose records Hot 97 plays on a regular basis. Most important of these so-called celebs is the Rocafella crew...So it's not that she has juice with the station, but the artists who supported her have the juice...These are the same artists who rushed to have Star and Buck Wild fired for the Aaliyah debacle..So why would they not stand up for a much worthier cause? Blind ignorance because they felt it didn't affect them, probably didn't have family or friends who were affected so in their extreme ignorance donn't care...Remember...Hip-Hop culture has very little regard for human life on a whole. Unfortunate, but true..Anything you guys come up with to further the cause to have Hot 97 attone for the actions of Miss Jones please post..I will keep emailing the station and get others to do so as well..

yesterday on wed. march 30 , dj envy made a comment about terri shaivo. when he was reading the news he said and the bitch isnt dead yet and also said she made the guiness book of world records for keeping her mouth open the longest. and of course nasty miss jones laughed. this isnt the first time he has made a comment like this. it really makes me sick that after the disgusting tsunami song they made and after being suspended that they havent learned their lesson. and why are they being allowed to stay on the air? they fired star and buckwild, why cant they fire miss jones and the morning show? saddly, today teri shaivo died, i wonder if dj evny is happy, they all really need to go!!!!!!!!!!! the fcc needs to ban them!!!!!
