as i said in the OKP thread, this is distasteful. it is a disgrace. they've made bad decisions in the past and done some controversial stuff on those morning shows, but how in the world can they go and run a bit like that? it's just really sad.

From what i've heard, this seems par for the course with NYC radio. Aren't there other radio personalities who push such envelopes? In Los Angeles, there is very little tolerance for racism on the radio. KFI fired one of their hosts for something much less offensive about two years ago.

From Eric's comment:

One would THINK that a city like New York City would know better than that. You would THINK that they'd be more intelligent than to have racist crap fly like that. I'm most dissapointed in New Yorkers!

Wow. I used to miss listening to them when I first moved upstate. Then I thought about the whole Aaliyah bit they ran and how they kept Star and Buckwild for a while after that.
They fire those two, now Star and Buckwild get heat for the phone prank they ran, and Hot 97, not to be outdone, runs this? I thought the Slapfest was pushing it.
It's like my old boss used to say, It's another black eye for the team!

Happy MLK day, indeed. After borrowing from the east to win freedom in the west, I'm sure Dr. King would be thrilled to see what one community is doing to the other, in the name of...comedy.

what one community is doing to the other, in the name of...comedy.

huh? what is "one community doing to the other"? how did a couple of people at hot 97 turn into "one community"?

I'm just playing devil's advocate here.

Has anybody actually *heard,* with their own ears, this song being played on Hot 97?

I have yet to find one person who actually heard it.

I'm not doubting that it was on their website for a time. But if it had been played over the air, all week, as you mentioned, it would be all over the news. And I can't find anything about it other than here and the links you provide.

…so, wait.

Uh, we're not supposed to call you niggers, and we're not supposed to say anything bad about 9-11.

But apparently it's okay to mock the deaths of a 160,000 ch*nks. Or, I don't know, 160,000 ch*nkee g**ks.

Oh-kay. Nice double standard there.

that's disgusting. i'm gonna email them right now. big nyc radio has always bordered on/been racist/offensive...see howie stern, don imus, etc.

Strangely, I haven't heard anything as offensive as this after decades of listening to Stern, Imus, Greaseman et. al.

If someone wants to play this for friends or people who choose to hear it, that's fine. But rignt out over the airwaves to the general public is incredibly irresponsible, reprehensible and tasteless.

Who in their right mind thinks 160,000+ people dying is funny?

Great post. People can also contact the FCC to file a complaint. The station gets its license to use the public airwaves for free with the understanding that they'll serve the "public interest" (or so says eyeteeth: http://eyeteeth.blogspot.com/2005/01/racist-radio-how-low-can-new-york-hip.html). Let's hold them accountable.

Oh yeah...

http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/complaints.html

peace everybody, just wanted to share what i wrote to the fine people at hot97:
Dear Miss Jones, Hot 97, and All those responsible for the production and airing of Hot 97's "Tsunami Song,"

I am utterly appalled and disgusted by the blatant racist, inhumane, and callous sentiments displayed in your "comedy" piece, "Tsunami Song." As a one-time listener to your radio station and a person of color, i.e. Asian, I find it absolutely disgraceful, disheartening, and beyond offensive. I understand your intent may have been some form of irreverance and low-brow humor, which certainly has its place in the media and the world, but your project fails in all accounts, save for being a display of your own vacant, corrupt, and bankrupt humanity.

As media people you have a responsibility to the public to raise awareness, disseminate information, and yes, at times to provoke. But this is a social responsibility -- i.e. an ethical and moral responsibility, which you have flaunted away precariously and discarded disdainfully with this piece. It's an utter disappointment, and I wonder what exactly you all intended with it? Could you please share with the public?

In any case, I demand that this be taken off the air and an apology made. I hope you have at least this bit of moral sobriety within you.

Thank you for your time,
etc etc

If you REALLY wanted to hit them where it hurts, you could call a tipline for a news station......

I started listening to Hot 97 because Ed Lover at Power 105 is such a homophobe. These racists have sent me scurrying to 1010 WINS.

What they did was pretty fucked up but considering what they have done before I'm not shocked.Hope they get hit hard.

"Happy MLK day, indeed. After borrowing from the east to win freedom in the west, I'm sure Dr. King would be thrilled to see what one community is doing to the other, in the name of...comedy."

Yeah, the black community is so racist towards asians, while the asian community is so loving of blacks.And we all know only the black community have double standards.........bullshit.

all i know is that out here in california they must have stricter regulations or something, ive never heard anything that offensive on the radio, what the fucks up, if they said that out here im sure someone would wait for them after the show and shoot them...

i just hope that everyone angry here is sending angry emails to hot 97 and the media as well.

here is the email to send complaints to FCC

fccinfo@fcc.gov

man, i'm so sad

Dont forget to email the parent company as well:

IR@emmis.com

It just makes you realise what a morally depraved country the US is *sigh*

And these are the people who are now going to bring "freedom" to us all. God help us.

As an African-Asian-Arab-American, it's hard for to catch any slack in White Amerikkka, but to have some of my own people put some stupid shit like this out is completely unforgiveable.
Ismail

Although this song may offend some or most people, I am amazed that people were not equally disgusted and angry when Thailand and other Muslim dominated countries CELEBRATED when the Twin Towers came crumbling down. These scumbags went around dancing in the streets, singing, and celebrating the death of Americans. Then they went on to BEHEAD our soldiers and drag their broken naked bodies through the streets and hang their naked bodies on a public bridge for all to see.
THESE PEOPLE REALLY NEED OUR COMPASSION!
YEAH, RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats just sickening....awful....

since when did indonesians, sri lankans, punjabi's and other southeast asians behead an american soldier??

THESE PEOPLE REALLY NEED OUR COMPASSION!
YEAH, RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, because the death of 3,000 Americans is comparable to a natural disaster that killed over 160,000 people.

And if America wasn't so insistant on pushing its politics where they don't belong, they wouldn't get into situations like that.

I listen to SCHNITT down here in SAN ANTONIO. I'm an ad exec for a t.v. station, and i spent 28 years on the radio. I have produced parodies, and I'm also a singer so I know about sound and production. The why this song shouldn't exist is obvious, but as far as production value...well, my dog could produce a better song. If this is supposed to be NEW YORK, why does the song sound so amateurish? the vocals are horribly done (imitation is supposed to be close to the original, and these fools don't even get in the neighborhood) and the whole thing is just crap. Just cuz it's NEW YORK, that means it should be better, but it's horrible. i'm embarrassed for their juvenile antics, and also for their weak talents.

mark

"Sick Puppies, Extremely Poor Taste!" Are all involved androids or humans????

hot97 needs to rot in hell for that.

To the idiot who said "Thailand and other Muslim dominated countries...", get educated...Thailand is not "Muslim dominated", it's a Buddhist nation that did not celebrate when 9-11 happened. Like the other person said, they, nor did India or Sri Lanka ever behead an American in Iraq. No wonder people think Americans are ignorant. They only meet outspoken fools like yourself.

damn what the heck is that ? that's some bulshit . how they gonna diss asians like that . they think they any better ? i mean we don't do shit like that and its not a time to be dissing and laughing at each other , if they aint like us they should at least shut the fuck up cus it ain't funny . . . i say PROTEST ! (=

I wonder how well a skit on the 911 terrorist attacks would be received in New York. Do the Morons at "NOT SO HOT 97" know how much damage this could do to America’s relief effort and image.
Do these walking talking Non Complis Mentis Tone Deaf Toad Sucking Cerebrally Constipated Sub Primate Anal Orifices realize they have put in danger the Americans who are there trying to give aid and have shat upon the memories of the Americans who died there? Have these socially corrupted Muck Spouts no concept of decency? Do they actually think this kind of Bovine Excremental Tripe is FUNNY? I will urge all my friends and co workers to write letters to any company or organization advertising on this radio station promising to boycott any product or service advertised on this radio station. I am further going to ask all to file a complaint with the FCC as well. I will ask they write and call every Radio Station, News Paper, Television Station, News Network, and Elected Official in The state of New York to voice their outrage over this abomination.
Mother Nature, God, Karma, Fate, Ala, Jehovah, or plain old Blind Justice will visit upon the creators, actors, producers, facilitators, administrators, managers, and accomplices to the airing of this piece of audio Poultry Fertilizer all that is justly coming to them.

Americans aught to take some of there own advice...and SHUT THE FUCK UP!...every now and again.
That song is fucked up but so is the majority of the shit HOT 97 peddles as Hip Hop music...as for Muslims dancing in the streets cutting american soldiers heads of in celebration of the twin towers??? That whole debacle was created in a studio by the Worlds capitalist media to offer the public some kind of explanation as to what happened on 9/11 all that footage was spliced together to create the idea that the Musim world (al quada don't exist ) was against us? pure bullshit 100% This was just the beginning of the US media created climate of fear...Go watch World Police and laugh about it...but also think about the rest of the world and just how we view America and those who live there.

Did the same radio station have the nerve to make fun of the victims of 9/11? I bet they didn't. News like this spreading across the globe just make americans look even more like dumb ignorant and egotistical dipshits who dont give a shit about the world they live in (it's not the first sign of this it just adds to it). This is what makes many other nations hate many of you.

would they like it if asian radio stations started singing comically of blacks and how our forefathers were chained up and forced to pick the damn cotton forever and separate from their families and the wife be the bitchass slave of a old white man while the husband crawls on his hands and knees and licks the white man's boots? would anyone appreciate that?

"la dee da da...these niggers get fucked by the whites..and pick their cottons and wipe their shoes and be called fucking niggers..as the women gets raped and the men can pick cotton la dee da da" how's that for a song u dumb fucks?

or how come they didn't sing of the million rwandans slaughtered 10 years ago?

or sing a song about how hilter cooked the jews in ovens?

or is that currently under production?

FUCK97
FUCK MISSJONES bitchass ugly fuck

A BIG FUCK YOU TO HOT97, LOST ALL MY RESPECT!

black people as a whole should not be judged by the stupidity of Hot 97. i am black and i was OUTRAGED by that song. it was the most tasteless, insensitive piece of crap i've ever heard. i'm amazed that they've allowed the song to air day after day after dary.

in fact, i was SO outraged that i wrote to Hot 97 yesterday morning...

"First of all, that Tsunami song is disgraceful. It's bad enough that the topic is totally inappropriate, but to make matters worst the lyrics are just PLAIN STUPID and NOT FUNNY. Hundreds of thousands of people died in the most horrific way imaginable, and you guys turn it into a tasteless joke. How would Miss Jones like it if someone made a parody about her mom dying of cancer. Would that be funny? You guys are failing MISERABLY in your desperate attempt to be "shock jocks." Maybe Miss Jones should just go back to her day job - singing. Uhhhhh... NOT!

And if that Tsunami song wasn't proof enough of how tacky and ghetto Miss Jones is, that vicious outburst against Ms. Info this morning sold the deal. I applaud Ms. Info for not taking part in the stupidity AND stating so publicly. She has the right to let people know she didn't participate. Who the hell is Miss Jones to try and silence her? Talk about being a DIVA with an over-inflated sense of self-importance. What did she have like ONE ghetto hit? She acting like she's Janet Jackson or somebody. Puh- LEEZE! I can't even remember the name of ANY of her songs! For her to scream Ms. Info out like that - ON THE AIR - and suggest that she quit her job because she disagreed with the song was not only inappropriate, but unprofessional. Do that shit behind the scenes. And what is up with throwing her nationality in the mix and accusing her of thinking that she's "better?" Miss Jones has one hell of a chip on her shoulder. Why get so defensive if she stands behind the song? I'm black and I wouldn't have participated in that nonsense. Does that make me better? Hell YEAH it does! It's not about race, it's about tact and common sense and decency. All of which Miss Jones' tired ass lacks...

If anybody needs to GO - it should be Miss Jones. She makes me almost ashamed to be black. All black people are not this ignorant, Ms. Info!!!"

"like tryin' on the master's shoes and finding a perfect fit . . " i'd expect better from a perosn of color . . hard to hear about something like this and not get sharp pangs of anger and sadness all at once . . fuckin' cocksuckers, i wouldn't wish death on anyone but i do hope they get fucked up real badly . .

my friend is a contributor to these sites. placing an article in either one of these might be a nice way to get additional support for a campaign against miss jones and that incredibly stupid-ass song.

http://www.yellowworld.org/
http://www.modelminority.com

both of these sites have posted articles that helped mobilize support against abercrombie and fitch (remember the t-shirts?) a while back and well as that asinine kung fool costume that was being sold at walmart and target two years ago.

peace, everyone!

Please remember that what made that song and its broadcast possible lives inside of a lot of us to varying degrees. The way to change this is not to hate on each other some more. Complaining has its place and justice should be served but stopping the broadcasts won't change the way people feel or the way the world is. Only when we get out and put positivity and real love into our daily interactions is anything going to change.
Do we want to be a part of the problem or the solution?

Interestingly, they pulled the link off the downloads site last night. But as of now (8:12am EST) - there's a new link replacing it to: http://www.hot97.com/airstaff/mornignshowTsunami.aspx

They were in such a rush to get it up that there's a typo in the url, heh. try: http://www.hot97.com/airstaff/morningshowTsunami.aspx where apparently:

As an additional sign of HOT 97’s commitment to the cause, Miss Jones in the Morning, along with her entire staff, have agreed to contribute one week’s pay to Tsunami Relief efforts.

Howzat! :)

That song was way over the top. It was callous, and inhumane. Racsist?? I think we're going to far with that one.

To all my *innocent* asian brethren/sisters talking about double standards, why don't you google the group, Bubble Sisters or tokyo breakfast. It's not like black store owners are shooting asians in the back for walking in the store or anything like that.

I found the sound kind of funny. There are a lot of people here who need to get a grip. It was a parody song. Remember the first amendment, that thing about freedom of expression. Does it ring a bell? Just because some people find it disgusting doesn't give you blowhards the right to ban it or ruin the person who created it.

why don't we all report it as a hate crime, to the Federal Communications Commission, and to the NY Police Department?
I have emailed the management telling them that's what i'm going to do.
here are the URLs.
FCC
http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/complaints.html
New York City Police Hate Crimes Task Force
http://www.nyc.gov/html/nypd/html/db/biiudoi.html

I find it funny...

It isnt a hate crime, ya'll are flying off the hook.

Anyone who believes that it wasn't racist needs to gain some perspective.

Insert your ethnic background into the song in place of the Asian ones used. Is if offensive now?

I bet it is.

Grow up.

nice to find you on a hiphopmusic board, honkee, thought your kind don't listen to this music.

anyway, back to the point, has anyone from new york actually heard it? this is too hard to believe to let someone air music like this.

I agree with you, dae1. I can't even believe that they would let them air this. I'm not saying it's not true or anything, but it just seems like they would get fired instantly.
Like (almost) everyone else said, this is absolutely disgusting that someone could make a joke out of such a tragedy. With all races put aside, NO ONE should joke about anything like this, whatever their race may be. They have obviously never lived through something like this, and if they ever do, I doubt they'd like someone making up little disgusting songs about it.

Funny? Joke? Parody?

Honkee and Snook: Take a good look at this picture and tell me that you can find it humorous enough for you to make fun of it.

http://img145.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img145&image=ruumiita4ft.jpg

Well the song is back on their site stronger then ever, its on the front page of their site and back in the morning show line up bolded.

This is the most disgusting attempt at humor i've ever heard.The producers and programmers should be tarred and feathered..and to the others posting about "ni--ers" should remembers that we all dont share the same racist viewpoints..

yes, this is vile humor, completely tasteless.

still, it's not illegal and I don't think Hot 97 should be forced to stop playing it. Y'know, Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, all that 1st amendment stuff. Register your distaste by boycotting the station, not asking the FCC to take action. I don't want the government to have any more power over what the media can or can't do. We're close enough to a police state already.

Where is the FCC complaint que on this?!!! Report this already! This kind of thing should be eradicated. I hope those that performed the song are never able to hold their heads up in public again, or at least not for a long while, and not until they have done LOTS of community work to prove they are willing to work for the good of the community. *growl*

Regarding scose's comment. It's fomenting racial hatred IMO. It shouldn't be allowed. If they are going to get on Janet Jackson's case for a breast flash, then they'd BETTER put a stop to this. This kind of thing is more damaging to society than veiwing a bare, pierced breast ever will be.

i contacted FCC, BBC, Daily News, even some news agencies in Thailand. That Fat Bitch is going down.

"You may know that one of that show's other hosts, Miss Info, is Asian."

the song is very bad. however I must say I don't see why it's necessary to point out that someone who objects to it is asian. shit like this should offend anyone.

you americans wonder why people want to blow your shit up? it aint just the policy makers, its the people also.

Check out the apology on Hot 97's site. Wrote this to the program director:
"I saw the apology on your website and that people have to give up a week's pay...It almost adds insult onto the injury -- if giving a little money to the injured parties could fix any of the racism in the United States we would have been over it a long time ago.
MY SUGGESTION:
Your staff should be required to attend diversity training -- the same way cops (also, supposedly, in a position of respect and authority) have to when they commit racist acts.
And make them talk about it on the air. Not during, but after. After it's sunk in. After they've thought about it. This could be a tremendous gift for them all.
Thank you for your time.

I believe tony chanka has abley demonstrated that bigotry is a worldwide problem. Hey tony, why not face up to your own bigotry and hatred before pointing the accusatory finger at others? You don't really have room to speak.

It's disgusting, and I already wrote in to HOT97. They were my favorite radio station before, and I just hate it now. The way they attacked Miss Info that morning after wasn't cool either. I just wish Miss Info would have stoof up even more. If anyone is to be fired, Miss Jones needs to go home.

AND YES, IT WAS REALLY PLAYED IN NEW YORK (for days)!

--New York Asian American

but look. hot 97 has a relief fund for the tsunami victims.

http://www.hot97.com/community/tsunamiRelief.aspx

fucking racist idiots.

Count me as somebody who has heard it with their own ears...Hot 97 is played where I work, and I couldn't beleive what I was hearing.

Sad stuff, and not even close to funny or creative.

Does anybody have the proper information on this station that I would need to file an FCC complaint against this?
Much help would be appreciated.

This seems like the sort of thing the FTC would be interested in; Here's the form you need to fill in: http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/cib/fcc475.cfm

why aren't these people getting fired? am i missing something? if people make jokes against african-americans they have a huge coalition on their ass. is there something wrong?

also, a list of advertisers would be very appreciated.

that is just plain wrong. you retards who think this is not wrong or this is just plain retaliation for the 9/11 incident well fuck you. what the fuck did ur parents teach you. freedom of speech? hell yeah its good but some idiots dont know when to stop and shut the fuck up.

Yo what the hell is this? How could they possibly even consider making a song like this what more putting it ON THE AIR. It's a fucking disgrace and that bitch should be fired. There's no fucking way around it there shouldn't be any questions asked. Fire that bitch now.

It's wrong to say that this is not illegal. Whether or not the FCC takes action on this or not, they clearly are breaking laws outlined by the FCC here:

">http://www.fcc.gov/eb/broadcast/opi.html

which states:

"It is a violation of federal law to broadcast obscene, profane or indecent programming. The prohibition is set forth at Title 18 United States Code, Section 1464 (18 U.S.C. § 1464). Congress has given the Federal Communications Commission the responsibility for administratively enforcing 18 U.S.C. § 1464. In doing so, the Commission may issue a warning, impose a monetary forfeiture or revoke a station license for the broadcast of obscene, profane or indecent material."

The FCC has defined profanity as "including language that denot[es] certain of those personally reviling epithets naturally tending to provoke violent resentment or denoting language so grossly offensive to members of the public who actually hear it as to amount to a nuisance."

This falls well within the parameters of what is considered illegal by the FCC.

You just gave caring americans a bad name. I happen to live generally around the New York area, and I'm sensitive about 9/11. Thousands dying for no reason at all isn't funny.

So many of those people had NOTHING. They worked all their lives just to feed their families and now that's gone. Are you pissed because people are encouraging you to send money??? What is it that you have against these people? Maybe a nice car, a meal 3 times a day, A HOME?!

Cut this shit out. Leave the donating to people like me. No one's asking anything from you.

im so glad i don't listen to that station. sh*ts messed up.

Holy crap.. I thought I had a sick sense of humor... that is by far the most horrible thing Ive ever seen...

yo, i hate to say this, but I'm fairly certain that most of the language we find offensive in this broadcast was not at all against FCC regulations.

First off, I have to mention that I am a person of color (black), and I do agree these things *should* be regulated. I also agree that this was some serious bullshit, and somebody needs to not only get fired, but have their ass beat by both the asian-american and the african-american community in a dark alley for pulling this bullshit. But if you're trying to get them in trouble for breaking some rules--I hate to break it to you, but for the most part, they didn't.

As far as profanity, which was mentioned above, neither "chinamen" nor "chinks" applies here. Actually, I'm fairly certain that even "nigger" wouldn't cause much trouble either, though most people are fortunately bright enough to stay away from that one.

Profanity, believe it or not, actually applies to language that profanes the name of the Christian god. Nice separation of church and state, right? Well, that's what we're up against.

The only word that I see here that could cause some trouble is the word "ass". That's because what the FCC is most concerned with is indecency, i.e., language that refers to, explicitly or implicitly, sexual or excretory functions or orifices.

If you don't believe me, that's fine. I work in radio, and I've spoken to the top lawyers in the FCC "crackdown" that has happened after the whole Superbowl bullshit.

So if we're going to do anything here, it's going to involve changing some of the rules at the FCC, because the existing structure isn't going to help us out now at all.

Feel free to email me or respond with any questions.

I made the mistake of downloading the song and hearing it

Does it exist?...Yes
Does it make me want to throw up?...Yes

I remember tuning in to Hot 97 a few years ago during 9/11. The radio djs were all.."Omg..I can't believe this happened. I feel horrify even thinking of this." This just proves that they're faking it. 3000 people died in WTC. That's a lot at the time. My dad works around the area of WTC and he barely made it out alive. Now Miss Jones finds it funny to air that bullshit on air.

I wonder what would happen to Miss Jones if say..something happened to her daughter (i dont follow Hot 97 but I recall reading that she has a daughter) If her daughter was one of the victims, and I made a song about her being a fucking useless african american Nigger dying, I wonder how would she feel if I just donated a week's pay of salary w/o an apology.

BTW, can anyone post up the argument between Miss. Info and Miss Jones? At least someone in that radio station stood up against that bullshit

Who, in the Tri-State area, would be willing to protest in front of Hot 97's studios? Just wondering so that we can do something in-their-face and proactive (after the snow storm, of course...blah)

okay, this is the most fucking disgusting thing i have ever read in my life. i haven't downloaded the song and don't plan to. i can't begin to imagine how i would react to hear a bunch of middle-class nobodies ridiculing a tragedy. seriously, this makes me lose my faith in humanity.

i got as much as info as i could in a short time, on my site, feel free to check it out, it does have the song, and yes i have heard it, and the argument between miss jones and miss info.

Miss Jones, you're fired.

everyone sign this petition at this web site

http://www.petitiononline.com/tsunmai7/petition.html

The tsunami that recently hit South Asia has killed over 220,000 people with more fatalities expected from the diseases being spread from this disaster, making this tragedy the most catastrophic event in the history of mankind. The world’s generosity has been projected in the outpouring of help being offered ranging from communities voluntarily set up by young adults and their parents all the way to well established charity organizations such as the Red Cross.

However, a hip-hop radio station, Hot97 located in New York City, has shockingly made a mockery out of the Asian tsunami victims!!!!!! The following were lyrics played on Hot97’s Morning Show, ironically on Martin Luther King Day (and for the rest of the week), a day that commemorates the nation’s achievement and advancements in racial equality issues:

“There was a time, when the sun was shing bright
So I went down to the beach to catch me a tan
Then the next thing I knew
A wave 20 feet high came and wash your country away
And all at once, you can hear the screaming chinks.
And then no one was save from the wave.
There was Africans drowning, little Chinaman swept away
You can heard god laughing, swim you bitches swim.

So now you're screwed, it's the the tsunami,
You better run and kiss your ass awake, go find your mommy
I just saw her float by, a tree right through her head.
And now your children will be sold in child slavery.

(Imitating Micheal Jackson)
"Oh on, please not the kids. I'll pay for all the kids.
all the little Indonesian kid, the little Asian kids, the Chinese kids.
the black, oh well, not the Black kids.
the White kids, the Puerto Rican kids.
I love them all. I'll pay for everything.
I promise I won't touch them."

These lyrics from the Hot97 radio station is not only insensitive, inhuman and ignorant, it is demonic to say the least!

As the word spread about this incident, Hot97 has attempted to remove all the contents such as MP3 (voice recorded files) from their websites to prevent more listeners to access the lyrics. However, many individuals have saved these files in order to file a complaint with the FCC. Furthermore, the original song played on the radio can still be readily accessible with a minimal efforts on Internet search engines such as Google.

Advisable as it is for one to pick and choose their battles wisely, Hot97’s bashing of Asian tsunami victims (ie: “You can heard god laughing, swim you bitches swim”) just cannot be tolerated. There have been many past occurrences of racism towards Asians in the media, that continues on without consequences, but for a tragedy of this magnitude, it is imperative that we take action against all individuals responsible for airing these racist lyrics, namely the entire Hot97 radio station.

If the content of this letter has in anyway infuriated you, I urge you to show your support by filing a complaint to the FCC and to forward this message onto others. It will take no more than just a few minutes of your time. For your convenience, the FCC’s information is provided below:

Not that it will matter to some of you, but when I made my earlier comment, the communities I was referring to were "East" and "West", not Black vs. Asian.

If you want to ride my ass for something, ride it for not writing my comment well. I'm not prejudiced, nor do I extend the sins of a few to the innocent slates of many.

I approve of Asian on Black bigotry about as much as I support Hot 97 and Power 99's recent shittiness.

Thanks to Samehe for starting the petition and to everyone for circulating and signing it!

HOT97 is so racist!! no wonder no one likes their radio station no more! Just cuz they play hip-hop music nd R&B doesn't mean it's only for black people. Anyone can listen to Hiphop and r&b, it's just whether they like the beat or not. different people like different things not different race likes a specific kind of music!! RACIST BIOTCHES! what did the the chinese/asians ever did to YOU guys.. NOTHING but support your damn radio station dickkkkks!

Contact all hot 97's sponsors that pay there bills... all them GENIUS at hot 97 must be lauffing

WTF HELL IS F*CKIN' WRONG WITH YOU SH*T HOLES YOU F*CKING MAKING US LOOK LIKE RACIST FAGGOTS IM GONNA GO TO YOUR SH*T @SS STATION AND F*CKING KICK YOUR ASSES AND KILL THE SH*T OUTTA YOU FOR MAKING US LOOK LIKE DIRT AND CRAP

hot97 is going down. the song was the most TASTELESS and inhumane thing i have ever, ever heard. i am genuinely disgusted and literally felt sick to my stomach while listening to the song. hot97.. don't try to cover up your tracks, cause you will most definitely get what's coming to you.

who the fuck wrote this fucking demonic bullshit?! hah if that bitch's office burned down i wonder howd she feel if people make a song about her slowly roasting in the fire.

soo NOT GIRLY!

just fuckin kill yourselves...no more problemos!

Some things said here are just ridiculous. man, freedom of speech my ass. yeah freedom of speech but using freedom of speech also demands using this freedom responsibly. These people who suffered in the disaster didn't celebrate during the 9/11 and weren't even remotely responsible for the 9/11 tragedy. These people just lived their lives then some disaster struck and some motherfucker wrote a song about it? damn man. this is supposed to be the time when we're to reach out to these people, not add insult to injury. think about what you'd feel if people laughed at your demise. what if your mother died coz of some sickness and people laughed and said you deserve it for something you didn't do.. fuck this man!

i cannot believe she bashed miss info for not taking part in the song... what a dumb ignorant waste of skin

Ms. Jones, have you spoken to any 9/11 family members lately. Poor Timing, Beyond Poor Taste.

Geoffrey Gonzalez

How could someone even think of joking about the tsunamis that hit South East Asia? How could they find it funny that so many people died? I just don't understand why this world is filled with idiots like the ones that came up with this song. And the fact that they are saying racial terms like "chink" and "chinamen" is completely messed up. China was not even one of the countries that was hit by the horrible tsunamis. Some people are so ignorant these days. I'm sure if Miss Jones family was killed by a huge tsunami, she wouldn't be laughing. I hope that Miss Jones gets fired and anyone else who participated or agreed with that song. I applaud Miss Info for disagreeing with the song and sticking up for herself.

Ms. Jones' mother died of cancer. It says so in her Hot 97 bio. Maybe someone needs to make a parody about that and see how funny she finds it.



I AM BLACK NY'ER AND I DO NOT SUPPORT THAT TASTELESS INSENSITIVE INHUMANE BULLSHIT!!! I WAS EXTREMELY OFFENDED AND OUTRAGED BY THIS SONG BEING PLAYED DAY AFTER DAY. AND I WROTE TO HOT 97 TO LET THEM KNOW HOW PISSED I WAS.



do not judge all african americans by the actions of a few IDIOTS.

I personally think it was tacky ..... but I also disagree with sending millions of dollars over there, when we have ppl in this country that could use that money also....Americans first , eeveryone else second...

PS.
All the killing/burning/maybe this should happen to Miss Jones stuff is just more of the same thing she's dishing.

It is no measure of our greatness if we *only treat the people we like* with human decency.

What she did was WRONG. She should be fired. She NEEDS help -- just like all of us who have prejudices. I've never seen any hateful person respond positively to more hate.

And damn! Why are we who are posting on this site hating on each other?!?

This is one of the rare public opportunities people have to UNITE around an issue. Let's take it.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON AIRING OF TSUNAMI PARODY SONG
January 21, 2005
HOT 97 regrets the airing of material that made light of a serious and tragic event. We apologize to our listeners and anyone who was offended.

HOT97 takes pride in its community involvement and in the last few weeks has joined with broadcasters nationwide to raise money for victims of the Tsunami. Our relief effort will result in a substantial cash donation.

As an additional sign of HOT 97’s commitment to the cause, Miss Jones in the Morning, along with her entire staff, have agreed to contribute one week’s pay to Tsunami Relief efforts.

If you wish to make a further comment, you can send an e-mail to the program director jdimick@hot97.emmis.com or you can write to WQHT, 395 Hudson Street, 7th Floor, New York, N.Y. 10014.

That was awful!! How can someone make such an offensive song about an act of mother nature! Did Miss whoever, not realize that Americans were lost too? Those countries need help and support even prayers, not to have insult added to injury!!

I hope Miss Jones stays warm in Hell

No matter how much they apologize, Miss Jones and Hot 97 are not ONE BIT sorry about the airing of the Tsunami song. Every morning they read the "hate email" aloud on the air. Miss Jones' ALWAYS laughs at the criticism and sees it as a positive because her show is being "talked about." And then she immediately plays the song as a symbolic "fuck you" to all that are offended. The whole Tsunami song is a SHAMELESS ploy to draw attention to the station and the Miss Jones morning show. Believe me - they knew the furor the song would cause and are relishing in every moment of it. As long as ratings increase who gives a damn! And you can believe people WILL tune in just out of curiousity. It's sad but it's the truth.

wtf? -"As an additional sign of HOT 97’s commitment to the cause, Miss Jones in the Morning, along with her entire staff, have agreed to contribute one week’s pay to Tsunami Relief efforts."-

Do they HONESTLY think that a week of paying to the tsunami relief will compensate for what they did? How about fire Miss Jones and pay until Southeast Asia is fully restored if they feel that bad.

That song was way over the top. It was callous, and inhumane. Racsist?? I think we're going to far with that one.

To all my *innocent* asian brethren/sisters talking about double standards, why don't you google the group, Bubble Sisters or tokyo breakfast. It's not like black store owners are shooting asians in the back for walking in the store or anything like that

Posted by: blame_Blacks? at January 22, 2005 09:21 AM

To the stupid fucknut who posted the above...first of all, learn how to spell. No, the song is not "RACSIST", it is RACIST. Have you had your head up your ass all of these years? Live in a fuckin cave and shit or what? How can you not know that the word "CHINK" is a racist word. Why don't you walk through any Chinatown in the U.S. and try calling Chinese people chinks...or better yet, try finding some Chinese Mafia or Asian gangsters...call them chinks! And then come back here to tell us about it...if you're still breathing.

Not surprised to hear about this shit. New York is notoriously known for its rude, ignorant, and racist people.

they just want the attention... and a lame way to. so sad so sad.

Let's send this to some Asian and Black activists...maybe even some celebrities whose voices would have alot more chances being heard if they went public with this. See how they respond to this. I'm sure African-American activists would be embarrassed of this fat bitch.

guys, this is garbage, i agree 110%. but you dont have to listen to it. simply turn the dial and dont listen anymore. don't sit here and bitch, and write letters, and tell the FCC. simply dont listen. I turned the dial and it went away

i agree with mocha. why would they put the link for the song back on? because it's getting so many hits on the website. it's getting more listeners, more attention and that's how they get paid. what goes around comes around! karma's bitch!

I just love how everyone here has come to comment on this TSUNAMI SONG, but have seemed to make this into a bigger issue. WHO CARES if we also recieved a terrible lose during 9/11. WHO CARES if they are from perhaps that area. WHAT MATTERS IS THAT THEY ARE IN DIRE NEED FOR HELP. but for some of you arrogant asses who say that THEY DONT NEED OUR HELP, I truly hope someone shows you compassion, because you have something terribly wrong with you. READ the comments below that you just wrote, and IF YOU CAN TRULY SAY THAT YOU ARE JUST DEFENDING YOUR RACE, YOUR WRONG.

THERE IS ONLY ONE RACE. ITS THE HUMAN RACE. and until AMERICA CAN FINALLY GET OVER THEMSELVES AND DECIDE WHATS MORE IMPORTANT, THEN MAYBE WE WILL REALLY SEE WHATS IMPORTANT, OTHER THAN OURSELVES.

I bet, Miss.Jones is thinking rite now, "Wat should I talk about tomoro, Oo about Asian/African peep die over there".

Bitch man 4real, wat really make her think of Writing this stupid Song. Did she ever Think be4, she wrote it.

I dont see any1 sing Song about Soldier who die in WORLD WAR II. Y dont she write bout that...Let the Secret Servers get apiece of her ass...

guys, this is garbage, i agree 110%. but you dont have to listen to it. simply turn the dial and dont listen anymore. don't sit here and bitch, and write letters, and tell the FCC. simply dont listen. I turned the dial and it went away

Posted by: commonsense at January 23, 2005 03:20 AM

yet, another igorant fuck. the more we ignore shit like this, the more it will happen over and over again. why don't you go back in time and tell Martin Luther King to just "simply don't listen" to all the racist, ignorant people who called him a n_____? Hopefully this incident, along with many in the past will bring about an Asian activist who, just like Dr King will not tolerate this shit towards Asians.

guys, this is garbage, i agree 110%. but you dont have to listen to it. simply turn the dial and dont listen anymore. don't sit here and bitch, and write letters, and tell the FCC. simply dont listen. I turned the dial and it went away

Posted by: commonsense at January 23, 2005 03:20 AM

"simply dont listen." is this idiot's solution. If these people in the story below simply didn't listen or do anything about Abercrombie and their racist actions, they would've never received $40 million in a class-action lawsuit.

DOING SOMETHING ABOUT RACISTS WORKS! DO NOT JUST SIT BACK AND IGNORE THE BULLSHIT!

Abercrombie & Fitch Settles Race Suit

Tuesday, November 16, 2004

LOS ANGELES — Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (search) has agreed to pay $40 million to black, Hispanic and Asian employees and job applicants to settle a class-action federal discrimination lawsuit that accused the clothing retailer of promoting whites at the expense of minorities, lawyers said Tuesday.

The settlement, approved Tuesday morning by U.S. District Court Judge Susan Illston, requires the company to adhere to a consent decree that calls for the implementation of new policies and programs to promote diversity and prevent discrimination in its workforce. Abercrombie & Fitch also must pay about $10 million to monitor compliance and cover attorneys' fees, although the agreement contains no admission of wrongdoing by the company.

"We have, and always have had, no tolerance for discrimination. We decided to settle this suit because we felt that a long, drawn out dispute would have been harmful to the company and distracting to management," chairman and CEO Mike Jeffries said in a statement Tuesday.

In trading, Abercrombie & Fitch shares closed down 93 cents, or 2.1 percent, at $44.08 on the New York Stock Exchange. Wall Street had known the settlement was coming; last week, in its third-quarter earnings report, Abercrombie & Fitch had said it would pay $50 million to resolve the litigation.

The lawsuit originally was filed last June in San Francisco by Hispanic and Asian groups charging that Abercrombie & Fitch, known for its "classic casual American" clothing styles, hires a disproportionately white sales force, puts minorities in less-visible jobs and cultivates a virtually all-white image in its catalogues and elsewhere. A second, similar lawsuit was filed against the company last November in New Jersey.

its disgusting. ratings is one thing but what were they thinking ? well who knows maybe someone won't find it so funny and will follow miss jones home from work one day and ...... well lets just say, have you seen SON OF SAM ?? would that be funny ?? its very unfortunate that uncreative people have to resort to bullshit like this

If the DeeJays were white they would have already been fired.
PLEEEASE dont cry to me about a level playing field and black man can't catch a break.

its no wonder that americans are steortyped as ignorant when you read some of the comments above. i know that you can't judge the rest of america by these idiots, but its hard because it seems like you come across more and more ignorant americans. these people need to be educated about globalization.

and to the person who says "Americans first , eeveryone else second..."
i'm just wondering, what have you personally done to put america first? what have you contributed that will benefit americans so much that the rest of the world doesn't deserve your contributions?

If you wanna be a bigot, get it right.

100,000 Acehnese were not chinks. They are Indo-Malays and Muslims. I know coz I am one too.

Only in America & UK will people get their racism wrong. But hey, I got my ass kicked in London and called a Paki, although i a not. Nothing pisses me off than getting my ass kicked for the wrong reason.

omg i love this song, fucking rocks.

"swim bitches swim" whuahahhahaa

ownt :)

The only way that they might stop playing it is if people boycott them. Dont listen to their station anymore if you do. After theyre ratings fall they might decide to take it off the air. I think theyre only doing this to make theyre ratings go up. But if theyre ratings fall they will have to be forced to take it off.

miss jones will pay for what she's done, and i dont mean in money!

Class action suit? I'll remember that. I think I'll sue RocaWear for catering primarily to black folks, while failing to make business suits for white men. Or BET, for faining to give equal time to white music. Better yet, I notice the nail salon at the mall only employs Asian women...I'll never have to work again! I'm going to be rich!

Honestly, this kind of bullshit is so ridiculous. If Abercrombie wants to ignore an entire demographic, and thus limit their sales potential, why should they be forced to do otherwise?

I'm white. I'm APPALLED by the song and Hot97's lack of contrition for it. I'm also appalled by the comments on this board that include statements like "my kind don't listen to music like this."

ay man, Hot 97 always got on my nerves wit the white jokes, but this sh*t is out of hand now, that's just too much. Im emcdouble, and I made the power switch, MUFUC*AS.
fu*k hot 97.
except Clue.
and DJ GL spinnin on there.
and, on ocassion, Flex, Kay Slay and Red Alert.
ahem.
thank you.

A big f*** you to Miss Jones...If the other DJ's at Hot 97 like Green Lantern, Whoo Kid, Kayslay and Flex had any respect, they would cuss that whore out on air...

mcdouble noone cares that you actually are mcdouble cuz you fucking suck but anyway back to the point the song is so fucking offensive and why they let benzino say cracka a lot of fucking times and not even say him to tone it down or even a tread for dissinf white pepole [but then again that will be racial]all i gotta say is fuck miss jones!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unbelievable. I dont see you making a song about 9/11, why would you do this?

Also, your apology is weak. I hope your family members die in such tragedy, so I can mock it with a tasteless, disgusting song to amuse others.

Wow...yeah funny shit. Hot97 has a pretty whacked sense of parody

Y'know, once, not too long ago the world was proclaiming that we were all New Yorkers. People came from all over North America to dig your dead out of the World Trade Centre.

This song is a disgrace. We're not new Yorkers anymore.

I cannot believe that ADULTS would do such a thing. Yes, you hate asians, but it doesn't mean you could go around expressing your hatred. I, myself, also have some dislikes about other races, but I do not go around making songs about the people I hate. I am only 14 and I believe I am far more mature than you guys will ever be. This following quote suits the people of Hot97 well, "Empty barrels make the most noise". Just incase you guys do not know what this means, it means that people with nothing in their brains makes the most noise.
I suppose that you do not realize that Asians, in the USA and outside have made many important contributions to make USA and the world a better place. I, also suppose that you guys do not know that saying shit like this will damage the self-esteem of people. You are making Asians feel wothless, but they are not.
Did you know that China invented paper, gunpowder, compass, seismograph and many other things important to the world today. So why would you make fun of the Chinese when they contributed so very much to the world.
I am thoroughly disgusted with the song that you guys made about the victims of the Tsunami Disaster. you should know better that it is nothin g to laugh about. I wouldn't be laughing if some of your family members gets drowned in a big disaster. You people should be ashamed of yourselves. Like, what did those Asians ever do to you??? Nothing. Well you ethnicity isn't much better. Every race has their own faults. Not everyone is perfect.
I swear when I grow up, I will use all my power to close Hot97 down, if it even still exits. I, also, hope that the victims of the disaster will haunt you 'till the day of your death. You guys should just die, you people are just a waste of space on the Earth. Instead of making the beautiful planet we live in, better, you chose to make it worse. With that song that you people composed, hatred is brewing. Foreign countries will have a negative view of the USA. They will think that Americans are good for nothing, but to create offensive things to hurt other races.
Here comes the uneducated side of me: FUCK YOU BITCHES FOR PUTTING SUCH AN UNEDUCATED SHIT ON. YOU SHOULD ALL JUST FUCKING DIE, AND FUCKING GO TO HELL.I HOPE YOU WILL HAVE BAD LUCK THROUGHOUT YOUR
FUCKING WORTHLESS PEICE A SHIT LIFE. YOU GUYS ARE MOTHERFUCKING ASSHOLES THAT HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO IN LIFE BUT TO MAKE RACIST COMMENTS. GET A LIFE YOU BASTARDS. AND TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORTS THIS KIND OF SHIT, FUCK YOU ALL, HATERS.

It amazes me that right now on the Hot97 website, the Tsunami Song is still listed under the heading "Funny Shit". WTF?!

FUCK U ALL BITCHES. MAKING FUN OF ASIANS?WHAT KIND OF SHIT IS THAT?MOTHER FUCKIN PREVERTED BITCHES.FUCK YOUR MOM TOO.YOUR WHOLE FUCKIN GENERATION, FOR MAKING FUN OF ASIANS. I THINK U SHOULD ALL DIE. DAMN U ALL SON-OF-A BITCHES. . LOZERS.YOU THINK ITS A GOOD LAUGH,HUH? WELL I'LL LAUGH WHEN HOT97 CLOSES DOWN. YOUR ALL BUT A BUNCH OF FUCKERS. WUTEVER, I JUST GOTTA SAY THAT YOUR ALL A BUNCH OF MOTHER FUCKIN BITCHES.

...wow. this is disgusting. I can't believe how somebody can show such disrespect to such an event. i don't think a few words or a week's pay can fix what she did.

Dedicated to the wonderful Miss Jones:
I do not think that black people are any better than Asians. Most of the crimes in the USA are committed by black people. Black people are the cause of the downfall of America. And I most of your family memebers, miss jones, are on welfare Because they are dumb as shit and they are incapable of doing anything but smoke cigars and pot( that they steal from corner stores). They are also good for shooting people and raping women. They are also good at making fun of other people(miss jones). Im sorry that if anyone is offended by this, but i think that miss jones should be criticized for her actions. fuck you miss jones =D

I am disgusted and disappointed at how Ms. Jones has dealt with this tragedy. I would think that someone who has the opportunity to help others through the media would approach the situation with more compassion. I have seen racism perpetrated throughout our society; however I feel this event is probably one of the most inconsiderate and racist. Word to the wise for those posting their comments, please do not stoop as low as Ms. Jones and make offensive comments upon other ethnic and racial groups.

Making fun of asians..eh???
REMIX OF BARNEY
SONG:
I SHOOT YOU, YOU SHOOT ME
WE ARE ONE BIG BLACK COMMUNITY
WITH A EXTREMELY BIG SHOTGUN
AND BULLET FROM ME TO YOU
WE ARE ONE BIG BLACK COMMUNTIYYYY.

YEAH, HOW DO YOU LIKE 'EM APPLES, MISS JONES.
You should just close your stupid thing down, oh wait, i shouldnt tell black people what to do, cause they'll get maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. =D

like the above stated. i utterly cannot believe that adults would PUBLISH such a thing on public air. it's just like hollywood movies: sexual movies rated 14A, faul language, and many, many other related kinda shiet. i thought adults are supposed to be role models for us kids. but if they keep on corrupting our future like this, how are we supposed to grow up bright and strong and whatever shit they want us to be? if we turn out to be shit, they can't blame it on us.

this is just to prove how corrupted the world is: ppl find FUN and REJOICE when the TWIN TOWERS COLLAPSED and THEY HANG DEAD AMERICAN SOLDER'S BODIES in public places, and now this, A WELL-KNOWN AND RESPECTED(not anymore) public station PUBLISHES this ...SONG.

Next time if something like this happens in New York, let's change the lyrics around and direct it to THEM. then they can't come crying to us, cause it was originally their song!

four words: Proud to be Canadian!

[EDITED]

Wow. I cannot believe how the distaste for this song has suddenly turned into a branding of the ENTIRE CITY OF NEW YORK as hatemongers. Yes, this song is absolutely disgusting and I believe that we should Miss Jones has no excuse whatsoever.

What I do NOT understand are the myriad of comments here lumping the entire city of New York along with this radio station. It is ONE radio station, not the city. I find it insulting, as a New Yorker, that I should be lumped into same category as these filthy racist hypocrites.

tasteless, who ever came up with this needs to be fired.

I don't understand why the people even made a song about the tragedy...it should be a moment of grief, but instead they make fun of it. These fuckers are corrupting our society, we should all run to a foreign country, for USA will soon become corrupted...those people should just die

Going back to slavery might resolve the problem...

honkee is an asshole. only uncivilized people would think shit like that is humorous

Let's not start pitting races against races. Miss Jones happens to be black, but that doesn't mean that she represents all blacks or that voicing any awful stereotypes about blacks is justifiable.

Please channel your anger towards writing to or boycotting Hot97 or complaining to the FCC and encouraging your friends to do the same.

i just saw a picture of that fugly slut, bitchass, motherfucker,ill-mannered,crackhead, wel-fare liver miss jones....and boy is she U.G.L.Y. and shes fat too

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA......I HOPE YOU READ THIS MISS JONE, YOUR MOM DIED FROM CANCER, AND I HOPE YOU DIE FROM CANCER. YOU SHOULD RECEIVE DIRE PUNISHMENT FOR YOUR STUPID ACTIONS

TO THE ABOVE...
LMFAO!!!!!!! MISS JONES CANT READ ANY OF OUR COMMENTS CAUSE SHE'S ILLITERATE!!!!!!LMFAO

i dont think ms jones knows that Asians have feelings

I respect Mocha

die hot 97!!!!!!! put urself in the place of those ppl affected by the tsunami- then u will understand! it's a terrible thing to make fun of things like that!!!

And as I said HATRED is brewing...

to white civil rights- that was a very mean thing to say! what makes u think ur superior?

ok so im Asian American and i dont speak any other language but english lol BUT i have relatives like all over asia!!! also "chinamen" means ppl from CHINA not southern asia!!!!! jeez, people can b so rude and ignorant!! >:(

oh yeah, and guess what? i've been to thailand and all over south asia! those people are very caring and they DO NOT SAY THINGS LIKE THIS ABOUT AMERICANS! think about this- if america was hit, would u be saying this, mrs jones and others supporting?? only ignorant uneducated bumpkins would say such a thing!

ha! white civil rights deleted their post!! i knew that i would make my point!

ive already said how disgusted i am towards hot97 but a lot of you here are being generalizing fags and are just as stupid. like the guy who just posted that barney remix... wow, way to go at bringing yourself to just as low of a level. gg

wonder what Jin from Ruff Ryders thinks of this bullshit

The whole thing is just disgusting.

Total Chaos...why did she start this shit anyways...with her indelicate actions, she has affected so much people...i guess its futile for us to solve this problem...curse whoever started this crap

I lost all respect for HOT 97 and the things that were said to Miss Info was very disturbing. FCC should ban HOT 97.

To "x":

I've already mentioned that the song was wrong, just because there is a slur in the song doesn't equate to racism.

Where in the song did they imply they were better than asians? Where in the song did they make jokes about asian attributes? I surely didn't hear any jokes like that.

It was an insensitive song. PERIOD. They talked about afrikaans AND asians dying. Afrikkans doen't count (as usual)...it seems to me more people are upset that they used the term ch*nk than are upset about the song poking fun about HUMANS dying.

People who are out trying to make this an asian-black issue are idiots, so I guess that makes you one of them.

mrs jones is a dirty whore, i hope you die and rot in hell for this you stupid cunt

From "Anonymous" Comment:
"Although this song may offend some or most people, I am amazed that people were not equally disgusted and angry when Thailand and other Muslim dominated countries CELEBRATED when the Twin Towers came crumbling down. These scumbags went around dancing in the streets, singing, and celebrating the death of Americans. Then they went on to BEHEAD our soldiers and drag their broken naked bodies through the streets and hang their naked bodies on a public bridge for all to see.
THESE PEOPLE REALLY NEED OUR COMPASSION!
YEAH, RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Posted by: Anonymous at January 21, 2005 04:01 PM

If and only if "Anonymous" would get it right. Thailand is actually a Buddhist Country. Over 80% of the people in Thailand are Buddhist. It is true that around the southern part of Thailand do have people that are mainly Muslim. But that is not the whole country. When you watch/listen to the media, most of the time you will see just the extreme on either side. They won't show the picture or the news piece about how people in other country felt sorry about what had happened to NYC, because that type of news don't sell. If you are going to quote a country that chops people's head off, quote the right country. Because Thailand is not one of them. Of is Afghanistan or Iraq too hard for you to spell?
And for this stupid Tsunami song that this radio station play.. why don't they come up with a 9-11 song too? It would be great if you would just play them back to back!

being that i'm asian-african-arabian-dutch american im very very very pissed off at that bitch-ass-bitch for what she said.

that's it

it is a racist issue

here: http://www.thesilent1.com/longer_hot97_tsunami.mp3
miss jones says to miss info "you think you're better..but you're not"

racism doesn't just refer to the definition of one race thinking they are innately superior. it can be an umbrella term for ignorance, fear, discriminatory or abusive behavior. i'm not going to lie to you, even though i am educated, i still have stereotypes running through my head because you grow up to them because of culture and society. but if you act on them, that is just wrong.

i am 18 and american. i have asian roots--my mother, father, grandparents, other family have come from china, however i am not south east asian.

people shouldn't be making this an asian/black issue. the song, although intended to be a parody, is the work of a few people.

we, as americans and the richest nation, should all be sending our love and support. not making crappy, senseless music.

To blame_Blacks?

If a racial slur is in a song, it doesn't make it racist...then what does? You said only if people make fun of the the attributes of the ethnic.
So if I call a black person a n*gger, it doesn't make me racist, because I didn't make fun of African attributes.

If we are all disgusted about what Hot97 and what Miss Jones said, then we should team up and start a little committee to urge higher officials to fire Miss Jones and whoever contributed to that disgusting song. I think this is the best way to stop all this shit.

I also think Miss Jones won't give a flying fuck about what we think unless we take actions. So hopefully a committee will be formed.

Someone @ Hot 97 should be fired for this being allowed to air - someone had to approve it. I still can't believe that someone actually went into the booth to make this, have it eq'd & mastered. What the hell is Hot 97 thinking?!

i think people who feel that this song is write and definately and totally screwed up. how can you think that it is okay to not feel compassion after so many people died? 212,611 people died, not asians, not africans but people. are we so blinded by racism and color that we no longer feel what is happening in this world? this is a natural diaster and we have never seen the likes of this before and hopefully we never will again. those people will have to live without homes, without family and friends and without anything that belongs to them. and all some people can say is "swim you bitches swim"? get a life idiots. this song is wrong. people throughout the world have united to raise money and send aid to those countries hit the hardest. and for what anonymous said i think that you need to get a clue. thai people didnt dance around and chop peoples head off, the terrorist groups did. you cant blame a whole nation or a whole religious group or race for something an amount of people chose to do. just like this whole song shouldnt be blamed onto african americans. it's just those insensitive asses who need to wake up and smell the roses before there arent anymore to smell.

Shaq -- yet another ignorant BIG-ASS dumbfuck

- In his most recent racial taunt of Yao Ming, Shaquille O’Neal told a reporter, “Tell Yao Ming, ‘ching-chong-yang-wah-ah-soh.’”

- Also in June, Shaq announced that he would test Yao’s toughness by taking an elbow to Yao’s face. This comment, combined with Shaq’s racist taunts are particularly disturbing, as Asian Pacific Americans often suffer racial taunts while being assaulted or physically intimidated.

- “I look forward to breaking down that mother f—’s body,” Shaq said of Yao Ming. “He said my name three times, two in Chinese and one in American. You don’t ever call me out. I’m from LSU.”

Thanks to my homeboy Chin for sending this to me awhile back ......

I used to like Shaq even though I was a Rockets fan at the time. but lost all respect for that muthafucka after he said that shit

Shaq and that fat Jones bitch can both choke on my muthafuckin black dick!!!!!!!!!!

What if I made a funny song about African slavery? How would they like that? Or if a tsunami wiped out South Africa and I made a hilarious song. Har Har. These damn bastards.

Shaq looks retarded, whenever I see him on TV, I think of LD people. I can't believe he even graduated College, he must of threatened them....
=D

To 14 year old boy:

If you said, "They shot a n*gger." That would be considered a slur. Now, if you said, "They shot a n*gger and they need to kill more." Then THAT would be considered a racial remark.

I'm not here to defend the song, because the song is indefensible. I'm also not here to defend the staff,cuz they probably are jerks.

All I'M saying is that we shouldn't belittle the tragedy of the tsunami by getting pissed because they used a slur. People here and on the petition talking about "how would blacks like it if..." They got the wrong focus.

People should be upset because they made fun of an event where 1/4 of a million died initially and are still dying. I agree with the poster who said they need to do some relief work...body recovery detail.

seems to me more people are upset that they used the term ch*nk than are upset about the song poking fun about HUMANS dying.

People who are out trying to make this an asian-black issue are idiots, so I guess that makes you one of them.

Hey dumbfuck! it's a fuckin no-brainer that those assholes making fun of humans dying is fucked up so why point that out. There are 2 issues here. One, being the fucked up insensitive comments about the dead, and two, to TRY and educate these ignorant dumbfuckers like yourself who think that "just because there is a slur in the song doesn't equate to racism." Hearing people in the media use racial slurs and all that shit just leads to more violence by uneducated assholes. So yeah, we're gonna be just as upset at that shit like we are about the people who died in that tsunami.

You're obviously not Asian, so how the fuck can you relate? Have you ever been called a chink by someone with hatred in their tone of voice, threatening you just because you're a "fucking chink who doesn't belong here"? There are many (not all) Blacks who are known to be ignorant towards Asians. Don't believe me? Try living in South Central Los Angeles like I have. You can't relate asshole. So, the best thing for your stupid ass to do is just shut the fuck up bitch.

damn these posts are whats really funny...got peeps arguing wit each other n shit....some real ignorant fools here like dat fool blame_blacks LOL!!!!!!!!!

can't ya'll niggaz just get along?

To x:

It's not the racial slurs that will lead to violence. It's wound up people like yourself who will commit these acts, so chill. I'm not being disrespectfull to you, don't be disrespectful to me.

I'm a black man living in the south, so I think that I can relate.

FUCK hot 97. who host this shit? well c how funny it is when one of ur family members or love one gets hit hard by mother nature next time. well see whos laughing then.

Thanks for making my point for me. Just because a person uses a slur doesn't mean it's a racist comment. It does make them seem ignorant, but I digress.

this is absolutely repulsive and disgusting. i can't believe i live in the same world as these pigs. how can they make fun of history's most devastating event? i can't even comprehend how people can be so stupid and senseless and CRUEL.
SHAME ON ANYONE who felt the song was funny.

I am trying to get a FCC complaint letter-writing campaign going. You can fill out an electronic form at this site:

https://www.parentstv.org/ptc/fcc/fcccomplaint2.asp

Let 'em have it!

Absolutely vile. Coming from someone who lost for of her dearest friends, I cannot believe that someone would go to such lengths to ridicule a tragedy. This makes me not want to even be American, knowing that some overpayed imbecile is doing this in my own country. What is wrong you people?

after hearing the appalling song, i've found a new distaste for our conteporate media. however, as an asian myself, i'm equally disappointed that some of you protestors (who i assume to be asian), are firing back at the black community, who is evidently not at fault, for one dumb bitch's mistake.

why can't we just put on a Jin track and all get along?

Nigga puhlease...I'm a Black man myself so ain't nuthin wrong wit me using dat word...especially towards an ignorant nigga like yo ass. What you smokin there in da south nigga? Must be some wack-ass shit if yo ass thinks that it's okay fo another race to use da word chink to describe a Chinese...dem niggas in New Yorks done said dat shit outta hatred, straight up. First talking 'bout how they be dying over there and shit and then having the nerve to call them chinks. Now tell me dat ain't hatred fool. It's a racist comment if it's outta hatred nigga.

You know if the Tsunami happened in Africa or the west indies, no one would even think about coming up with a nasty song like that. If so, there would be a riot. We're talking L.A. style riots.
What a travesty, such a shame.

STOP ARGUING AND START TAKING ACTION!!!!!
WE SHOULD GET PEOPLE TO FIRE THAT BITCH!
GODDAMNIT

How come Asians are always targeted to be made fun of??? Is it jealousy? Is it just cause they're Asian?? What is the reason, why would people do this to them? Why???????????????????????????????

I respect Rodney King

Like Chris Rock said, "There's blacks, and then there's niggers."

The "people" at Hot 97 fall into the latter category.

Oh, and the tsunami did in fact reach African shores and killed hundreds of Somalis, so these "latter category" are doubly ignorant morons.

I am not surprised that a station that plays rap music would do something like this. Have you ever listened to the lyrics of some rap music? Much is degrading to women and represents prejudicial views. Some is just anti-social with vulgar lyrics.

Why is everyone surprised and upset about this prejudicial, vulgar, anti social parody? To me, it just more of the same garbage that is having a negative affect on our youth.

No, I am not Bill Cosby.

You are right on the money Dr Bush. Rap these days has been a complete disgrace. Hardly anything positive or good has come out of it within recent years. There have been a few positive songs from old school pioneers like Too Short and his song "Gettin' It" and songs by The Roots and Mase, but lately it's all about how rich one is, material possessions, bitches, hos, violence, nigga this, nigga that, etc. Same ol cRAP. You have to go back to the days of Run DMC, Kool Moe Dee, and even before those guys to find decent rap.

I'm sad to see that so many of you have hatried towards black people because of the actions of a few idiots on Hot 97.

They do not represent ME. They do not represent MY beliefs. I am black, and I am ashamed and disgusted by the Tsunami song.

Miss Jones and whoever else participated in the song should know better. Considering all the racism and stereotyping that black people endured, you would think they'd have more compassion and would steer clear of such obscenely racist behavior.

PLEASE DO NOT JUDGE ALL BLACKS BY THE ACTIONS OF HOT 97. I AM BLACK AND I AM JUST AS ANGRY AS YOU ABOUT THIS DISGUSTING SONG.

i hate racist.

I love world peace!!

Dear Lord,
Please help us take away whoever that have the guts to make fun of a serious tragedy....

Amen

what horrid people to broadcast such a song. not that they deserve it but i actually feel afraid of how hard they will be on themselves when they realise how nasty they have been.

..well we can only hope they'll realise and make up for it.

the song made me upset, to say the least. but i also do not believe in retaliation by using the same ugly tool used to attack us (asians)- racism. there are other ways to deal with such blatant hatred and ignorance. given these methods do not work well and efforts often ignored completely, i believe such efforts should be made nonetheless. hopefully future generations will be able to live in a more peaceful society because of such efforts made today.

To blame_blacks?....seriously bro....are you high on crack or what? Did you not read or hear this shit?!...

Then, after Miss Info has said the song is offensive to Asians, co-host Todd Lynn informs her: "I'm gonna start shooting Asians." Yes, he really says that. It's at 3:37 on the mp3.
===

That's not racism?! Saying "I'm gonna start shooting Asians" isn't racist? Put down the crackpipe and educate yourself. You stupid fuck!

first off... calm the fuck down. it's a song. it's not a person with a leash around a child's neck. ever wonder what the artist's point was? maybe it is to be vulgar to get people to realize how brutal the situation is. so instead of limiting the horizons, shut the fuck up and quit adding bleeps to every single fucking word. what happened to freedom of speech or expression. this is an artist excersizing his or her rights. censorship is not the side we should support. why don't you show your disrespect by simply not listening to that radio station.

racism isn't our biggest enemy, censorship is. once we can't say what we want, we loose our own identity as a race, as an artist, as a person, as an individual. so think about it. let freedom rise, not the FCC. someone will always think something is wrong. if every person got what they thought was wrong censored out, we would have nothing.

don't get me wrong, i'm asian. the song is offensive, but not as big of a deal as my ability to say fuck the FCC.

hey, sandy bitch...

there is a fine line between being an artist and common human decency

besides the racial slurs in the song being offensive, the following wasn't in the song...it was said to Miss Info, an Asian-American who didn't agree with that shit...

--Then, after Miss Info has said the song is offensive to Asians, co-host Todd Lynn informs her: "I'm gonna start shooting Asians." Yes, he really says that. It's at 3:37 on the mp3.--

So don't tell anyone to calm the fuck down asshole. I'm gonna take offense to someone saying they're gonna "shoot Asians" -- that is not a fucking joke. Try telling the police that you're gonna go shoot somebody...go to the airport and start saying that you're gonna shoot somebody...see if your freedom of speech applies then, you ignorant fuck! Go use a racial slur to a police officer. Tell him that you're using your freedom of speech. Fuck you bitch.

this is garabage.. wtf is this THIS SHIT AINT EVEN FUNNY, they dont even know wtf chinks are, puh lease man... if they wanna know ill be happy to go down n show em.. omg im so mad rite now... where the fuk r these faggotz? errrr!!! Im not only mad about how racis these ppl are.. but they r making fun of people who lost their family!??! Wat the hel... i dunt even c a human single compassion in that.. wow... u gotta be kidding me... im just so mad right now.. these people need therapy

hey sandyballs,
shut the fuck up!

using freedom of speech is a fucking lame excuse to hide the fact that someone is a fucking racist

Yeah right bitch, that was obviously the reason why they created that trash. That's why there are so many people who have already signed the petition. Yeah, you're right. They didn't do it for ratings or attention at all. They were creative artists and knew what they were doing. -- What a crock of shit!

Thank you to the person who created this forum. It has shown us how many more idiots there are in this country besides those assclowns at Hot 97.

well, i'm glad you're using your freedom of speech, but using racial slurs isn't my point.

umm... just to make another point... maybe saving your rage and supporting the victums by raising money would be more beneficial then to cuss at each other mindlessly.

your feed backs to this radio station actually helps it. so, maybe just quit reading, and search for an orginization that is currently helping the cause.

People, people, can we please try to discuss this without cursing each other out? I understand we have different opinions on this, and yes I agree most of what Sandyballs said is wrong, but all that abuse is not necessary.

dont involve ALL the black people in this, some of them are even against this. i feel bad for them cause they got dumbfucks representin them.
& to the ignorant bitch hostin at not-so-HOT97, you say you gonna shoot asians? put your toy gun down bitch and aim your lips on our brown/asian ass. we make your food, your clothes, and the chairs you sit in at work. & you're gonna diss someone, especially a group of people, do it correctly or dont do it at all. the information you got in that song is false, china didnt get hitt by the tsunami, and did you know black people that live in africa got hitt by it? so you're basically dissin your roots too you ignorant fuck. you should quit now, you're makin it worse for hot97 by lettin them waste money on your posters. shoot, letting a stupid dumbass on the air is something, but puttin posters of an ugly stupid dumbass is another thing.
other than that i give props to miss info. she stood up for us & spoke the truth. you're too good for them, leave them. either way you're still gonna be the good person here, and you're better off.
the first amendment is being abused .. badly.
i'll be sendin Jin a message about this.

Posted by blame_blacks is an idiot at January 24, 2005 01:40 AM

Yes that remark is racist, but that remark is not part of the song. This "song" had been played many times before that.

What you heard at 3:37 was an arguement amongst the hosts over the song...not the song itself. So to judge the song over what the hosts said/did would be akin to judging the US constitution to be crap just because the people who authored it were slaveowners. The people and the song are two different things.

The fact that people here are more upset with me, when I'm in total agreement that it's a bad song, than they are upset with the folks who said they found the song funny speaks volumes as to why people are really upset.

This was a global event, more than just asians died. But in this "it's all about me and my race" age we live in, people are oblivious to the fact that that's what the song is making fun of; the death of so many people.

The song talks about a person going to get a tan and seeing a wave. They're talking about European tourists who died. The song talks about Afrikaans dying.

I said it once, and I'll say it again, people are more upset that they used a slur (interesting to see so many slurs used here) than the fact that they mad fun of Europeans, Afrikaans, AND Asians dying in that event.

That song was an attack against Humanity, more than just asians died. You have to put down the slurs and your angry feelings about blacks, and see that this song was a piss poor parody of the relief effort to help Africa, we are the world, as the world is again coming together to help the victims of tsunami...not just asian folk, but people folk.

Be mad, but be mad for the right reason. Don't fall for this petty racial crap, it's bigger than that.

To Rodney King:

Posted by Rodney King at January 23, 2005 11:46 PM

What bs! Blacks can call each other n*gger, but other "races" can't. What next? It's okay for black folks to shot each other?

I'm sure our parents (well, maybe your grandparents) marched so that we could gain exclusive rights to use racial slurs.

But that's a whole other topic. You are what you say you are, brother.

That's it.. Keep throwing aroung the "R" word. Whenever some moron can't put together a decent argument they throw in "racist" to try to imtimidate.

Bill Cosby is right. Get off your phat ass and get a job. Stop blaming Whitey and the Gov-ment, stop collecting Gov-ment cheese and aspire higher!

Very disgusting song. I say protest the station for allowing it to be heard!!!!

the people behind that radio station who actually knew about this and laughed about it and played it on air-- how do you sleep at night??? when everyone else in the world is trying to help these people davastated by this disaster--- i really wish you the same cruelty and the same disrespect as you all have showed the asian community and the whole world that's not as prejudiced as hot97!!!!!

I just hope u guys know this thing is getting major attention I bet by the end of this year some1 will be fired I'm down here in tampa florida and every1 knows about this.. Our top morning show THAT EVERY1 In st louis jacksonville and atlanta listen to this show they even got ur link up www.mjmorningshow.com *rePpiN fla*

sad that this parody passes for comedy in someones eyes....bet they would be the first to look for some sympathy if this happened to them....come to think of it send them and everyone associated with this crap over to the affected areas and see how many jokes they can spit out then, probably come home wailing like babies but even babies wouldnt do anything this stupid.....shock radio at its worst but no one should be suprised cause it seems like you have tp be a jackass to stand behind the mike nowadays

making fun of people involved in a natural disaster is so funny, what next going to a retirement home and loosening the bolts on their wheelchairs? vulgarity and crassness is not humor(unless its on the Simpsons or Family Guy)

if you go to a crowded theater and yell 'FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!' that is not considered freedom of speech. neither is this.

I MAKE FUN OF OTHERS BECAUSE I AM EXTREMELY OBESE AND FAT, VERY GROSS LOOKING UP CLOSE ACTUALLY. AND TO SEE ME WITH MY CLOTHES OFF, WHEW!! I CAUSED THE TIDAL WAVE BY JUMPING INTO THE WATER!! I ADMIT IT!!

this is incredible..of all places in the worl...NYC?? Im pretty sure that if anyone w
