July 13, 2005Clear Channel's Kim Bryant Defends RacismRick Delgado, the producer who was fired from Hot 97 for his role in their infamous anti-Asian/anti-African/anti-human Tsunami Song, is now producer of KYLD's morning show in San Francisco. In response to complaints, Clear Channel's Regional Vice President Kim Bryant (kimbryant@clearchannel.com) sent out the mind-boggling statement pasted below. It basically translates to "We know Rick Delgado is racist, but that's okay with us because he has 'great contacts.'" Here is Kim Bryant's defense: Thank you very much for contacting us with your concerns. I want to personally assure you that the Wild 94.9 Morning Show will in no way be representative of the broadcasting approach Mr. Delgado - who is now an off-air contributor - was previously involved in.[NOTE: Delgado was an "off-air contributor" at Hot 97 as well, so this means nothing] Please understand the following: [NOTE: Apparently in the world of Kim Bryant a fact is only true on certain days. Perhaps she can send along a calendar.] [NOTE: and he upholds this tradition by working alongside one of the industry's most notorious racists.]
Thanks to Davey D for passing this along. Posted by jsmooth995 at July 13, 2005 1:21 PM | TrackBackComments
From In a surprising interview, Delgado said he thinks he was misinterpreted and wrote a song that was only in bad taste, but not racist, even though it used an epithet for Chinese people. He said he won't do that again, "because I like their food and want to eat in their restaurants." Posted by: eric at July 13, 2005 2:14 PM funniest thing I read all week! Do these people realize what they sound like? Posted by: Hashim at July 13, 2005 2:38 PM To Eric's point, next thing is we'll hear that closet white supremacists aren't racist because they go to the same restaurants as black people. Posted by: Tom at July 13, 2005 3:37 PM I think we should forward a picture of Delgado to all the Chinese restaurants in his area, so they can a "special" dish when he comes through. Posted by: Jay Smooth at July 13, 2005 5:10 PM He said he won't do that again, "because I like their food and want to eat in their restaurants." How can one man hold so much stupid? I hope he gets run out of town with the quickness. Posted by: Ayodele at July 13, 2005 6:51 PM i got this email in response as well. the word is spreading around the bay area, at least. perhaps it'll make a difference? at least clear channel has no problem blatantly exhibiting its racist (and uber-capitalist) tendencies. Posted by: scott at July 14, 2005 3:52 AM You're getting torn apart on Opie & Anthony right now by Todd Lynn. Ouch. Posted by: DC at July 14, 2005 10:29 AM You should try to get the audio from The Opie and Anthony Show XM67 Thurs. July 14th in the last hour, it has a Todd Lynn interview explaining the whole Tsunami song situation…he also trashes this website. Posted by: LilConner at July 14, 2005 10:32 AM Perhaps the people who don't like Rick need a good talking to, if you don't mind my saying so. Perhaps a bit more. My friends, sir, they didn't care for Hot 97 at first. One of them actually stole a pair of matches and tried to burn it down. But I corrected them sir. And when my wife tried to prevent me from doing my duty, I corrected her. Posted by: LilMarky at July 14, 2005 11:11 AM Whoops I meant XM202...not 67.. Posted by: LilConner at July 14, 2005 11:52 AM Link to Todd Lynn interview is here: http://www.foundrymusic.com/braincandy/displaymedia.cfm/id/10233/div/braincandy/media_search/latest/latest/all/page/download_FORMER_HOT_97_PERSONALITY_TODD_LYNN_DISHES_ABOUT__TSUNAMI_SONG__.html#jump Posted by: LilConner at July 14, 2005 12:05 PM I was barely 3 minutes into that download of the Opie & Anthony show you linked to and was offended when they played another old Delgado song. Duke is def. out there with his ish. I can't believe this dude can still get jobs in radio. Clearly this Tsunami thing was not a one-time thing for him. Posted by: ian at July 14, 2005 12:48 PM Listen to the whole thing - and then decide if Todd Lynn deserved to have his career destroyed over something so stupid. Poor taste? Offended? Turn it off then! Don't destroy someone's career. Oh and what dude are you referring to? Todd Lynn was a guest of Opie & Anthony - he's unemployed. Rick Delgado is working elsewhere. Posted by: DC at July 14, 2005 1:02 PM Not sure whether to laugh or shake my head in disgust... laugh at the fact that this idiotic, hypocritical jackass got his butt fired or shake my head in disgust that he still doesn't get it. Puhlease! First this sh!tbag brags about his $100K a year salary then tries to pass himself off as one of "the people" struggling to make ends meet when he (deservedly) gets the boot? Cry me a river, loser. Now I feel NO remorse whatsoever... my only regret is that upper mgmt didn't get the same Fuck Rick Posted by: kami at July 14, 2005 1:12 PM P.S. Thanks for the link! Posted by: kami at July 14, 2005 1:23 PM Jay Smooth: "I think we should forward a picture of Delgado to all the Chinese restaurants in his area, so they can a "special" dish when he comes through." Wow. Mister defend the Asians, blasting everyone out as a racist. Now the white boy, who has no idea what racism is, want to make steriotypical comments? Eat ass little boy.

FOR WHAT!!! Posted by: Jay Mohr at July 14, 2005 3:31 PM hoohoo, you win an award for the most idiotic post of the day. Posted by: janine at July 14, 2005 3:39 PM > Oh and what dude are you referring to? I thought it was clear enough but I was referring to Delgado in my post above. I actually do feel bad for Todd Lynn on one level but threatening Jay is NOT cool. Posted by: ian at July 14, 2005 4:31 PM I actually (on one level) feel sorry for Todd Lynn too, but he has nobody but himself to blame for the consequences of his actions.. I was only the messenger. Posted by: Jay Smooth at July 14, 2005 4:39 PM This is who is co-signing the hiring of Delgado (far right, second row): http://www.salinaschamber.com/membership/board.html I'll leave the picture there to speak for itself.
