"Hot 97 Mocking the "Chink" Tsunami victims"
Wed Jan-26-05 04:50 AM by J_Sun

Mod Edit: Here are the saved screen shots and mp3 file

EDIT: this is already covered here: http://www.okayplayer.com/dcforum/general2/390205.html

I know Hot is desperate for ratings now, but damn y'all. This is sinking really low.

For the last week New York's Hot 97 has been running a hideously unfunny and offensive skit named the "Tsunami Song," that ridicules the victims of the Tsunami as "chinks" whose children will now be sold into child slavery. It's being played on the station's morning show, hosted by Miss Jones.

It's also featured on their website, on the right side of the page:
http://www.hot97.com/airstaff/morningShow.aspx?origin=nav

And this is a direct link to the mp3: http://www.hot97.com/av/audio/morningShow/USA_For_Indonesia.mp3

Here are some choice lyrics:

"..All at once you could hear the screaming chinks
and no one was safe from the wave
there were africans drowning, little chinamen swept away
you could hear god laughing, "swim you bitches swim"

So now you're screwed, it's the Tsunami
you better run or kiss your ass away, go find your mommy
I just saw her float by, a tree went through her head
and now the children will be sold to child slavery..."

Uhh, yeah. Har de har har.

You may know that one of that show's other hosts, Miss Info, is Asian. She voiced her displeasure with the skit and got into a heated on-air argument with Miss Jones about it. But so far Hot 97 hasn't acknowledged that there's anything wrong with it, and they continue to air it everyday.

As a New Yorker, as a radio person, and as a hip-hop fan I am ashamed and disgusted that Hot 97 is allowing this to broadcast on their airwaves. If you feel the same way you can let them know here:

It is inappropriate and disgraceful and racist. It's really sad and distasteful... I'll email them tonight and I'll give them a call tomorrow. I haven't listened to their morning shows in a long time and I was never a big fan of that whole Star and Buck nonsense.

In response to Reply # 4

They should broadcast an open apology to the public and the victims and make some effort in promoting awareness about this tragic situation. I mean, try and help conduct a benefit... get people to donate or put together a Tsunami Benefit show. I mean, come on, hiphop is universal and we have a global responsibility. I'm reading all this stuff about rock stars doing Tsunami gigs and even the low-budget, indie artists, electronic artists, etc are doing their best------ and what is the biggest hiphop station in the world doing? they are mocking the situation by promoting racism and gross insensitivity to one of the greatest natural disasters of our time.

In response to Reply # 0

To Whom It May Concern:

What on earth are you thinking?

I understand that morning shows are not the place to go for
thought-provoking content or tips on improving oneself or one's
community.

I understand that morning radio shows are all about big laughs that bring in big ratings. And that in the current radio climate, it seems morning djs, hustling to keep their jobs, are willing to engage in a race to the bottom, a race in which the most obnoxious and offensive, ironically come out on "top."

With that established, I don't think I've ever heard anything more disgusting and utterly distasteful than "Tsunami Song" that you play on air, and currently have posted on your website. It's crass. It's racist. It makes me physically ill, and you should be ashamed.

On top of it all, it's not even remotely funny. It's not a clever. It's not unique. It's not searing, or thoughtful, or dynamic, or witty. There's almost nothing MORE hackneyed in comedy today than singing some simpleton's horrible lyrics over some well-known melody.

Again, I realize that morning radio shows are not the place to go for smart comedy or smart people talking about interesting things. The morning radio show is, more often than not, a place where no-talent humans with the IQs of baboons (no offense to baboons) sit around and masturbate in their own stupidity, while whoring themselves to corporate sponsors.

In this case, you didn't even have the decency to allow your
degenerative imbecility to stay confined to the ever-fascinating
comedic worlds of crank calls, spreading celebrity gossip, and
humiliating your listeners and yourselves.

You've unfortunately decided that it was a good idea to apply your lack of judgment, taste, and skill to the worst tragedy in modern history.

225,000 people dead, and counting.

After this, I don't want to hear anything about remembering the
tragedy of 9-11 from you amoral, heartless, mentally feeble assholes.

It's sickening and completely mind boggling that any one of you saw fit to use resources to record this garbage, let alone air it, and proudly display it on your website amidst so many other of your ingenious comedic gems such as: Donnell imitating Rick James (part 1), and Donnell imitating Rick James (part 2).

Perhaps the money could have been used to save some lives in one of the 12 countries devastated by the earthquake and tsunami that forever changed a lot of people's lives for the worse, rather than insulting those who survived, as well as those who didn't, including children.

Your disregard for human life is repugnant, and it is as unnecessarily cruel as it is staggering.

In disgust,

Rhonda Carter

worse, for mine, simply because it was more evident to the people who've suffered through this than a moronic radio broadcast on the other side of the world

was the sight of tourists relaxing in the sun at a beach in Thailand the week after the tsunami.

bodies are still in the surf and they're sun-baking?

In response to Reply # 367

it's about the framework. the worldview.

it's not like these people are saying, "hmmm...i SHOULD go on my vacation because if i don't, their economy will collapse."

folks were talking about it like the tsunami was a fucking inconvenience for them and had the primary effect of ruining their planned vacations...

71. "Those countries are actively seeking tourists....."
In response to Reply # 21

there was an article in last week's USA Today about it. They said that a lot of the country wasn't hit by the tsunami, and a lot of the resorts were up and running. They said that the best way to immediately help get their economy back on track is through tourism dollars. Tourism is their #1 source of income, so if people don't visit, the economy suffers.....

In response to Reply # 0

New York is a great city. I am not a New Yorker, but the 9/11 attacks hurt my heart, and while I didn't know anyone lost in the attacks, I know people who know people and I listened to them cry and hurt for them and with them. Everyone was touched. Everyone. No state boundaries, dividing rivers, none of that held its ground because grief and a disaster like that is so overwhelming.

And it could have been worse, when you think about it. Imagine every building in NYC, gone. A third of the population dead, bodies filling the whole surface area of time square, lining wall street, polluting the air with promises of widespread disease. Babies orphaned. Proud little children with thickly budding New York accents dead where they stood on playgrounds and in classrooms. Childless mothers, husbandless wives. Our favorite movie stars and actors and actresses and singers dead. Your mayor's family completely wiped out. No clean water, no food, no jobs for a very, very long time. Who in New York would be smiling and singing songs about that? Who in America would find it daringly funny and edgy to sing about Yankees dying in the streets and running for their lives and barely surviving in the days after and have the gaull to put it on a website or a radio station to show the rest of the nation how clever they thought they were?

Who in New York found 9/11 funny? Who in America sang and ridiculed and disrespected the dead and suviving? How would you in New York feel if they did? How could anybody in their right mind justify doing something like that?

How could you?

The blatant tasteless disrespect your radio station showed towards the victims and survivors of the tsunami that hit Indonesia and surrounding areas is disgusting and it embarrasses me as an American. Had the shoe been on the other foot, you'd have been outraged and ravenous for some sort of retribution. And what boggles my mind even more is that this song is run during a radio show run, I assume, by black people; now, we all know that if some radio station in New York was blasting a song laughing and niggers being lynched and killed by police as they slept, the rage would be immeasurable. You wouldn't join in the laughter then. Being black does not give you clearance to do to other people what has been done to you--it's ignorant and makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. We're the first ones to complain about racism, and then "we" turn around and do something like this? Give me a break.

If you are that desperate for ratings, which is the only reason I can fathom that someone would stoop this low (this is usually a step in the process of falling off), be smart. Be innovative and have some common sense. It's not funny just because it's offensive. Its seems is a sign that your writers or whomever it is coming up with ideas like these don't have the mental capacity to differentiate between being subversively funny and downright rude, crude, embarrassing and offensive. Taking the song down is not nearly enough. You owe everyone an apology, a very public and heartfelt apology, and the people who allowed this to happen--whoever wrote it, whoever okayed its use on the air, whoever put it on the website--need to be swiftly reprimanded.

It seems that something new happens everyday that makes me just a little more embarrased to be an American. And to hear it come from New York of all places--that really takes the cake.

ask to speak to the PROGRAM DIRECTOR and let them know how you feel about this.

He would never sign with a NL team at this point in his career, after he's hit a million fucking batters. Obviously its a different story coming straight out of high school dumbass. And did he sign with Houston? NO. So youre point is moot, just like everything else thats coming out of your mouth - 3xCrazy on Roger Clemens in 6/2002

this doesn't seem like they're type of thing.
this is disgusting and pitiful.
obviously what they're doing in NYC isn't being regulated well at the corporate office in Indianapolis.

the question 'how is this offensive to hispanics?' this question arose from the "they pissed off the wrong hispanic' statement

realistically, this is America. Prince Harry with the swastika didn't surprise me, neither does this. the factoids in ego trip's big book of racism are real events.

the things you may catch on E! is for ratings, he doesnt sit up there for 4 1/2 hours each morning looking at breasts.

it's a comedy show but there is a great deal of intellectual material, and the show has no peer when in its comedic zone.

"That's not the point."

The airwaves are a finite public resource. Should was as New Yorkers (yes I am a New Yorker) speak up when we don't think our airwaves are being used appropriately? Obviously, complaining to the station is a first step when we are upset by something. The FCC and all that is above and beyond, I'm somewhat relaxed in my attitude towards censorship so I don't reallythink they need figure into this particular incident at all. But, we damn sure need to tell them stations themselves that if they want us as listeners they can start by not broadcasting blatantly racist, barbarian trash like this.

I have sent emails about that bullshit too. That shit aint funny. Did they do 9/11 songs? Hell no cause they knew that shit wouldnt fly.

Not to mention WE should know better.

He would never sign with a NL team at this point in his career, after he's hit a million fucking batters. Obviously its a different story coming straight out of high school dumbass. And did he sign with Houston? NO. So youre point is moot, just like everything else thats coming out of your mouth - 3xCrazy on Roger Clemens in 6/2002

In response to Reply # 115

...damn near donated more than his whole fuckin administration.

In other news: The next time y'all watch the news, listen to the reporters say "Mr. Bush" repeatedly. They'll say "president" as well, But I ain't NEVA heard no "Mr. Clinton, Mr. Nixon, Mr. Kennedy..." and they're PAST presidents. This admin is hated by so many and their initial insensitivity for the Tsunami victims is just another part in their long line of continuous bullshit...

BTW... HOT 97 APOLOGIZES: HOT 97 and the Hip Hop Has Heart Foundation are teaming up to make it easy to donate to the Tsunami Relief Effort. Just pull out your cell phone and text message the word "DONATE" to this number: 91234. Once you text in the keyword "DONATE" to 91234, you'll immediately get a response asking you to confirm that you want to donate $5 to help the Tsunami victims. The charge will go right on your cell phone bill. It's that easy!

324. "So far I have yet to see anyone in this thread say it was obscene..."
In response to Reply # 93

...or slanderous, or any of the other things that would normally abridge free speech. This isnt a question of whether they are allowed to broadcast such things. The fact is that they offended people by doing so, and if the offended people make enough noise about it, then the odds that the station, and more importantly their sponsors, will take note is greatly increased.

Come on, dude. This shouldnt be that hard to figure out.

"They done pissed off the wrong hispanic."

i was basically asking what the mentioning of your race had to do with this song.

you just said race had nothing to do with it.

i dont think i deserved to be reprimanded like that, and trust that since this is a serious matter i really resisted the urge to reply "you mad?".

but again, this is america we live in. i dont extend the expectation of decency to americans or urban radio. we let far too much slide to all of a sudden be in uproar.

...people would've been equally as angry. Remove from your mind who recorded the song, and where it was broadcasted. Look at the lyrics. Being "black" owned has nothing to do with ignorance.

re: usa for indonesia joke/ song.

then have the audacity to put it up on your website?

what, y'all got part two for the sudan coming up?

star made fun of aaliyah's death, which was dumb enough, but this takes that shock concept and drills it down some notches. child slavery? stern wouldn't even touch this shit.

i'm known to joke in hard times, but cracking a smile isn't even
feasable for this shit.

y'all are making black radio / hip-hop and all of us asscociated w/ it look fucking rediculous, yo. get your weight up.

i hope colin powell's son gets at y'all for a couple mil on this one. cause y'all deserve it.

WASHINGTON - Federal Communications Commission (news - web sites) Chairman Michael Powell plans to resign Friday, FCC (news - web sites) officials confirmed, ending what's often been a controversial tenure as he tried to push the telecom and media industries into an increasingly deregulated world that some lawmakers, companies and consumer groups didn't like.

The news, first reported on The Wall Street Journal's editorial page Friday, was something of a surprise coming just one day after President Bush (news - web sites)'s inauguration and with some very hefty issues yet to be dealt with by the FCC. Those issues include how to treat burgeoning Internet phone services as well as how to overhaul the Universal Service Fund, a federal subsidy program under financial pressure. The Wall Street Journal is published by Dow Jones & Co. (DJ), publisher of the newswire used for this report.

Rumors have circulated for months that Powell, who has been on the FCC since President Clinton (news - web sites) appointed him as a commissioner seven years ago, would step down. Recent conventional wisdom had him leaving in the spring after at least some of these issues were dealt with.

The FCC is a five-member commission, with a majority representing the party of the president, in this case, Republicans. Possible successors discussed have included current Republican Commissioner Kevin Martin.

In response to Reply # 0

Re: Tsunami Song

I was frozen in utter shock and disbelief that Hot 97 would greenlight a �comedic� song that uses racial epithets and makes fun of the victims of one of the greatest human disasters in recent world history. It is not funny. It is tasteless and someone should be fired for this. These lyrics are not acceptable�

"..All at once you could hear the screaming chinks
and no one was safe from the wave
there were africans drowning, little chinamen swept away
you could hear god laughing, "swim you bitches swim"
So now you're screwed, it's the Tsunami
you better run or kiss your ass away, go find your mommy
I just saw her float by, a tree went through her head
and now the children will be sold to child slavery..."

As a hip hop head, I am ashamed that the most tasteless and inhumane statement about this tragedy has comes from a radio station that poses as a representative of hip hop culture and music. Hot 97 owes the Tsunami victims and the hip hop community a sincere apology and would demonstrate good faith by donating a significant amount of money and supplies to the victims in Asia and Africa.

Sincerely,

Matthew W. Williams

yeah, if you go to www.hot97.com and click on the misses jones banner at the top, you will see where the mp3 used to be, in the section called 'funny shit', it's gone now (like an hour ago, the link was still there but the mp3 wouldn't download when you clicked it, now the link's gone altogether).

now all that's left is saddam hussein poetry, i kinda wonder what kind of offensive shit THAT is lol.

153. "my letter to Hot97:"
In response to Reply # 0

I would like to express my deepest satisfaction to the station manager, general manager, and the entire management team of Hot97.

Your programming is so newsworthy, you've managed to come to my attention, all the way down in North Carolina. Now, I generally only listen to Hot97 when I'm in the area on business trips and such, but when I heard of the fantastic job your station was doing, really repping hip hop and the black community to the fullest, I just had to let everyone know about it.

Both the MP3 and screenshot of your website with the link to your MP3 (the Tsunami parody, you know the one), has been forwarded to a number of news and civic organizations across the country. Isn't the internet great? Not only will you shortly be getting the very attention and publicity you crave, but your message of hope and love will probably even make it to the international news, where some of the newly orphaned 'chinks' themselves may eventually be able to hear your heartfelt words of encouragement. Well... that is, the ones who make it past the starving and disease thing. And the homelessness, and the utter destruction of their infrastructure.

I'm sure I speak for all black people, worldwide, when I say, THANKS! You are doing wonders for our image. And as a lifelong fan of hip hop, I couldn't think of a better way to promote the culture than to make fun at wholesale death and destruction halfway around the world. I'm quite the writer myself, and, on the real, your punchlines were a bit flat. If you'd like to collab in the future, I'm pretty sure I could concoct some rib ticklers about slavery and genocide in Sudan, AIDs in sub-saharan Africa, continued misery and suffering in Haiti. If you're going to do it, may as well do it right?

Well. Here's hoping that a giant wave or similar catastrophe never kills 75-85% of your families and friends. But hey, if it happens, maybe some funny morning jocks in Thailand could lessen your burden by making a cute song about the 'earthquake niggers', and playing that along with whatever the chink equivalent is of corporate, top 40 rap & bullshit. Anyway, I've taken too much of your time. You'll need that for clearing your offices once the national news gets ahold of this.

Peace, y'all.

Black folks in the ghetto especially kill me with calling all Pacific Asians "Chinese", and in turn slurring them as "chinks" or "Buddhaheads" or something else foolish....same with Latinos (out here anyway) calling them all "Mexicans" and slurring them as "wetbacks"...I don't play that game and never stand for it when someone is around me.

170. "thanks for posting this"
In response to Reply # 0

i contacted several political and activist organizations about this and wrote a letter on behalf of the non-profit i work with:

HOT 97
395 Hudson St. 7th Fl.
New York, NY 10014

To Whom It May Concern:

The complete and utter disrespect for the loss of life and the blatant racism displayed in the song "USA for Indonesia" played on your station and posted on your website are staggering. We are offended and disgusted with Hot 97, its advertisers and parent companies for allowing such a repugnant and abhorrent display of contempt and cruelty.

Hot 97 owes its listeners, the Tsunami victims and their families an apology. We also suggest that a sizeable donation to one of the charities raising money for Tsunami victims in Asia and Africa is in order.

We sincerely hope that this will be the last time that Hot 97 plays such offensive material and that this becomes a turning point at which Hot 97 can use its influence to both educate and entertain in a positive manner.

Sincerely,
BLACKOUTBoston

In response to Reply # 184

The outrage is due to the fact that this is one of the worst disasters in modern history: 225,000 dead, millions homeless and jobless, and thousands missing and injured. That alone is not funny--certainly not less than a month after the tragedy. Further, the use of the word 'chink' and supposedly humorous lines about orphaned kids and their dead mommies with trees stuck in their heads is nothing short of abominable. Humans do tend to delve into "gallows humor"--sometimes, there's nothing we can do but laugh at a bad situation or event. But with a disaster like the tsunami and the sheer magnitude of the suffering it caused, there can be nothing funny in it. The "joke" was racist, inhumane, and utterly disrespectful. THAT is why people are pissed.

In response to Reply # 187
Fri Jan-21-05 08:00 AM

years ago for their humor which has become more and more inhumane, racist, uncouth, unfriendly, perverse, explicit, and mean spirited in general. But people love it and listen to it daily. I supposse is better late than never to begin a letter writing campaign to hot 97, but this does a disservice to all groups who have been offended by hot 97's pathetic attempt at humor prior to today and whose cries went unheard.

in the same way that an environment had to be created for prisoners to be tortured at abu ghraib, one had to also be created in advance for 'humor' like this to make it on the air.

but in the end..its just comedy..right?

or is it?

In response to Reply # 187

ive heard alot of rappers say "chinky" mainly when they rap about getting high and their eyes get slanted...

ive always thought that shit was racist but there has been no backlash so i dont get the anger at THIS...however for the tsunami cracks? this station, the dj's should be fired for this. as much as we demand for people to be fired for making racial statements, this should be no different...

dude, the D I C T I O N A R Y definition of the word "CHINK" is said to be "O F F E N S I V E" to asian people, yet here is somebody who is saying that chink is a common term used to describe slanted eyes of asian people...if that is so, then i am simply asking if the term is OFFENSIVE to asians. so again, what in the FUCK are YOU talking about...so im out of my element asking a got damn question?

In response to Reply # 197

Surprising how many people wanted to claim it wasn't racist or was derived from a "chink" in a wall. But still, that's not as widespread as other, equally or more offensive words in rap, so it's never made a huge splash.

199. "My e-mail to HOT97"
In response to Reply # 0

Aloha, I am John Book, a music journalist, artist and producer based in Washington State, but originall from Honolulu. As someone who is part Chinese, I am highly offended by the lyrics in "Tsunami Song" that your station is currently playing. The kind of mentality displayed in this song is ignorant, and a disgrace to a station that I used to have a lot of respect for.

I think HOT 97 needs a sensibility chart, for the lyrics in this song can't even be considered a laughing manner. I seriously hope you lose advertising money. Do you not value your Asian listeners or advertising dollar, because let's face it, most mainstream radio is full of it. All you care about is the bottom line. Who cares if you offend a group of people that you probably think still live in villages and mudhuts.

HOT 97, a radio station based in New York City, let's not forget that this was a place where almost four years ago, two planes crashed int the World Trade Center. Yet because the creator of this song feels that this is an issue that is "out of sight, out of mind", it is okay to mock the dead or make fun of a human tragedy? I never expected HOT97 to have such a haole mentality. You, a station that used to represent the place "where hip-hop lives". If that's the case, I hope everyone in the hip-hop community moves away because you are a disgrace to not only hip-hop, but radio broadcasting as a whole.

Thank you.

if anyone in this country would've had the nerve to do something like this after 9/11, there would have been an uproar. but these people are victims of a natural disaster and they see fit to insult and embarass them?

it's a damn fuckin shame. seriously, someone needs to lose their job over this one.

the nature of a joke is that it works outside of the generally accepted cultural boundaries.

I don't think you have a point, and you've failed to provide any evidence of your statement.

most everything becomes fair game for humor at one point or another, but the more tasteless the subject/the type of joke you're making it into, the longer you need to wait to make it.

i just find it funny that people don't see the correlation between things like this and how they treat people in their OWN lives. A lot of people are quick to judge this HOT 97 joke w/o thinking about some of the "jokes" they've made, laughed at, etc. Yes, the Tsuami issue is a MUCH larger issue and this Hot 97 thing is beyond ridiculous...but so is a lot of the stuff I read on here regarding race, sexual orientation, etc etc and no one seems to care. I'm not comparing the two but rather pointing out the parallel in people's response to similar issues on different levels.

But I guess no one else understands that...

okayplayer doesn't have quite the same market share as Hot 97, and when you're more in the public eye, you need to think more about the consequences of what you say. So yeah, posts like these are an opportunity to get your self-righteousness on, but I'd rather this particular forum be more unfiltered thought than held to FCC standards.

about personal responsebility, and being able to look in the mirror. its similar to the same thing i said earlier about a certain environment being necessary to birth things like this. so no, while no one is on here joking about tsunamis, there is a lot of unneccessary mean spiritedness, as well as sexism, racism, slandering, etc, all under the guise of unfiltered thought or just for jokes or whatever.

we dont mirror society, we are society.

theres no way the people at hot 97 would/could think something like this was funny/entertaining if *enoug* people had stood up to them the countless other times they put tasteless/racist/sexist/misogynist/demoralizing 'humor' on their airwaves under the guise of entertainment.

here's hoping this shuts them down and/or Tracey gets fired

the people that are the most giving hardworking and capable of making the world better usually don't have the ego or ambition to be a leader. they dont' see any interest in superficial rewards..they don't care if their name ever appears in the press. they actually enjoy the process of helping others. they are in the moment.

Who the hell gave this a pass? Of all the shit that you can't put on radio/network TV, THIS SHIT gets to go on air???

It's a fucking shame that this kinda negativity gets allowed to air, because it's just one group of have-nots tearing down a group of have-less's.

Fuck, they should be forced to air Malcolm/Martin speeches for the next 3 months consecutively to make up for this ignorant behavior.

248. "Hot97 Station Manager's name : Barry Mayo"
In response to Reply # 0
Fri Jan-21-05 09:58 AM

http://www.thehistorymakers.com/biography/biography.asp?bioindex=16&category=mediaMakers

BARRY MAYO HIRED TO LEAD EMMIS-NEW YORK
NYC MARKET VETERAN TO OVERSEE OPERATIONS AT HOT97, CD101.9 AND KISS FM

Indianapolis...Emmis Communications Corporation (Nasdaq: EMMS) today announced the hiring of Barry Mayo as Senior Vice President/Market Manager of Emmis-New York.

"We anticipated the very best candidates making themselves available for this premier position - and we were right," Emmis Radio President Rick Cummings said. "Barry was one of the original architects of Kiss, New York 20 years ago. He knows the market and he knows the three Emmis stations there. He's been an innovative programmer, a general manager for 12 years, and an owner. He's a great strategist and his staffs have always loved working for him. He's a winner who will have immediate impact for Emmis."

Mayo has served as a consultant for Emmis' WRKS since February. His experience in New York includes serving as Assistant Program Director of WXLO/WRKS (1981-83); as Program Director of WRKS (1983-84); and as Vice President/General Manager of WRKS (1984-88). In 1988 he co-founded Broadcasting Partners Incorporated (BPI), where he served as President until 1995. BPI, which went public in 1993, began as a five-station group that grew to eleven. Also during this time Mayo served as President/General Manager of WVAZ in Chicago. Since 1995, he has been president of Mayomedia, a media consulting company specializing in advising clients on programming, format changes, sales, internet programming and affiliate marketing.

Mayo, 50, succeeds Judy Ellis, who announced in October that she would not seek to renew her contract beyond its February 28, 2003 expiration date.

"I'm thrilled to be associated with this company," Mayo said. "In New York City, Emmis has some of the most dynamic and attractive properties in all of radio. It is my job to increase the value of these properties in the service of our listeners, our advertisers, and our shareholders. I've inherited a great staff of people from Judy, and I look forward to raising the bar as high as possible."

Emmis-New York includes WQCD-FM (CD101.9), WQHT-FM (Hot97) and WRKS-FM (KISS FM).

Meaning, try and make them lose advertising dollars! We need to find out who is advertising with them, on their website or on the radio and send emails to the companys that are advertising w/ them. People in NY, please post up the names (and emails if you can find 'em) to companies that are running ads on the station.

If they don't lose ad revenue for this, all that will happen is bad press and all press is good press when you're dealing w/ the media.

In response to Reply # 278

Your company supports the mocking of tsunami victims!

I thought you should know that your company is supporting the the mocking of tsunami victims with your advertising dollars. Hot 97, a popular radio station in New York has released a song mocking the pain of the tsunami victims, including racial slurs and all! Here is a sample of the lyrics from this disgusting piece of work:

"..All at once you could hear the screaming chinks
and no one was safe from the wave
there were africans drowning, little chinamen swept away
you could hear god laughing, "swim you bitches swim"

So now you're screwed, it's the Tsunami
you better run or kiss your ass away, go find your mommy
I just saw her float by, a tree went through her head
and now the children will be sold to child slavery..."

This song was played on the air and posted on their website. Their website also has banner ads, that you pay for, alongside this reprehensible content. They have tried to remove the link(s) but here you can see a screen shot and hear the song itself, prior to them trying to cover up what they have done.

http://www.thesilent1.com/hot97screenshottsunami.jpg
http://www.thesilent1.com/USA_For_Indonesia.mp3

Please cease your support of this vile, disgusting "comedy" by ceasing your financial support for Hot 97 and it's parent company Emmis Communications . I don't think you want your company associated with such trash!

Sincerely,

Jason Pulvino

I really, really don't know.

But if there's any ONE city that really, REALLY needs to be careful about what kind of energy it puts out, it's New York City. Not hatin' or sayin' y'all are bad people, but there are some socially-reckless people in that town (in positions of power and otherwise) who just scare me to DEATH.

289. "My Letter to Hot 97"
In response to Reply # 0

To Whom It May Concern:

Two years ago, upon my graduation from college, I applied for a position at Hot 97. As a lover of hip hop, and an appreciator of quality broadcasting, Hot 97 seemed the ideal place to begin a radio career. Fast forwarding to the present, I am ashamed that I stooped so low as to request a position at a station such as yours.

The "Tsunami Song" is tasteless, crass, insensitive, derivative, and unfunny. On September 11, 2001 (a date which you continually urge listeners to remember), I cried for the people in my city and the world shared in our pain. Now, after a tragedy that killed almost a HUNDRED times more people than died in the World Trade Center, Hot 97 felt it appropriate to repeatedly air a song mocking the victims. Not only does the song make light of broken families and child slavery, but it makes reference to "screaming chinks," which can only be described as being in abysmally bad taste. As a station that has a primary audience of minorities, it is unfathomable that you would use an ethnic slur to describe the victims of this tragedy.

Prior to this incident, Hot 97 stood as a beacon of social conscience in both the local community and the hip hop community. I can remember several occasions when Hot 97 DJ's spoke out on sensitive issues of the day, never hesitating to chastise those who would trample on the rights of the underprivileged. Now the defender has become the oppressor. My heart broke when I first heard the "Tsunami Song," knowing that Hot 97's reputation as a voice of the voiceless victims was dead. If, God forbid, there should be another 9/11, Amadou Diallo, Abner Louima, Yusef Hawkins or any other tragedy, words of outrage or comfort from Hot 97 would be hypocritical to say the least.

Earlier this month, America honored the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr., a man who once noted that "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." After the unbelievably thoughtless actions of the Hot 97 staff in their desperate grab for ratings, I hope justice will be served. For if there is, in fact, justice in this world, those responsible for the decision to record and air this song will be terminated immediately, and your station will suffer the free fall of listeners, advertising revenue, and respect that your actions warrant. Either way, you have lost me as a listener for life.

Sincerely,
Alan Lewis

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 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.

A bone that they throw at you to "shut you up."

So the Program Director--who no doubt heard this before it aired--is saying that the show's soon-to-depart host--who no doubt heard this before it aired--is giving up a week's pay IN LIGHT OF THE BACKLASH. Not because she took it upon herself to go see the Red Cross on her own time, but because the Program Director--

--do you see where I'm going with this?

From past experiences, they know that this method of "healing the wounds" works.

But what if it didn't? What if we all just acted blind, deaf and unsatisfied?

What would happen then?

304. "my response to the autoreply"
In response to Reply # 296

Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2005 15:44:53 -0800 (PST)
From: "alan lewis" <alby407@yahoo.com> Add to Address Book
Subject: Why yes, I *would* like to comment further
To: "John Dimick" <jdimick@emmisny.com>

Dear Mr. Dimick:
While I appreciate that you must have certainly received an overwhelming amount of email regarding this incident, I hope you can respect that an automatic response will not satisfy my response. A man in your position needs to do everything in his power to make things right with his audience, even if it means taking the time to answer as many responses as possible. That being said, I hereby re-submit my initial letter for your consideration and *personal* response.

Two years ago, upon my graduation from college, I applied for a position at Hot 97. As a lover of hip hop, and an appreciator of quality broadcasting, Hot 97 seemed the ideal place to begin a radio career. Fast forwarding to the present, I am ashamed that I stooped so low as to request a position at a station such as yours.

The "Tsunami Song" is tasteless, crass, insensitive, derivative, and unfunny. On September 11, 2001 (a date which you continually urge listeners to remember), I cried for the people in my city and the world shared in our pain. Now, after a tragedy that killed almost a HUNDRED times more people than died in the World Trade Center, Hot 97 felt it appropriate to repeatedly air a song mocking the victims. Not only does the song make light of broken families and child slavery, but it makes reference to "screaming chinks," which can only be described as being in abysmally bad taste. As a station that has a primary audience of minorities, it is unfathomable that you would use an ethnic slur to describe the victims of this tragedy.

Prior to this incident, Hot 97 stood as a beacon of social conscience in both the local community and the hip hop community. I can remember several occasions when Hot 97 DJ's spoke out on sensitive issues of the day, never hesitating to chastise those who would trample on the rights of the underprivileged. Now the defender has become the oppressor. My heart broke when I first heard the "Tsunami Song," knowing that Hot 97's reputation as a voice of the voiceless victims was dead. If, God forbid, there should be another 9/11, Amadou Diallo, Abner Louima, Yusef Hawkins or any other tragedy, words of outrage or comfort from Hot 97 would be hypocritical to say the least.

Earlier this month, America honored the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr., a man who once noted that "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." After the unbelievably thoughtless actions of the Hot 97 staff in their desperate grab for ratings, I hope justice will be served. For if there is, in fact, justice in this world, those responsible for the decision to record and air this song will be terminated immediately, and your station will suffer the free fall of listeners, advertising revenue, and respect that your actions warrant. Either way, you have lost me as a listener for life.

Sincerely,
Alan Lewis

316. "My letter to lisa evers"
In response to Reply # 310

Dear Ms. Evers:

Recently, your former employer (Hot 97) aired a wildly inappropriate parody song about the Tsunami in Southeast Asia. Prior to this incident, Hot 97 stood as a beacon of social conscience in both the local community and the hip hop community. I can remember several occasions when your show "Street Soldiers" spoke out on sensitive issues of the day, never hesitating to chastise those who would trample on the rights of the underprivileged. Now the defender has become the oppressor. My heart broke when I first heard the "Tsunami Song," knowing that Hot 97's reputation as a voice of the voiceless victims was dead. If, God forbid, there should be another 9/11, Amadou Diallo, Abner Louima, Yusef Hawkins or any other tragedy, words of outrage or comfort from Hot 97 would be hypocritical to say the least.

As a the former voice of activism on Hot 97, I was wondering what your personal thoughts were on the incident. Also, I urge you to use your current position at Fox 5 to expose the hypocrisy at Hot 97, and take them to task for their crass, insensitive, and racist song which was allowed to air on their frequency. I look forward to hearing you report on this matter in the near future.

Best Regards,
Alan Lewis

In response to Reply # 0

I usually don't post here in GD, but just tonight, I thought I'd make an exception.

The tsunami, despite being Scandinavian, have had a rather large impact on me, emotionally. A Swedish mate of mine had family in phuket when the disaster struck (luckily they pulled through) but the effect that the tsunami have had have left me pretty devastated. That, coupled with the fact that my grandmother is in the hospital right now, have meant that I've not been in the best of moods as of late.

This song however, just put me over the edge, and sent me straight into rage. Racism at its worst.

Which is why I'd like to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for mailing these people, telling them how you feel. And better yet, thanks for alarming the media.

It might not make that much of a change, but to see that people, other than me, cares about this issue, warms my heart.

334. "Swing Dogg weighs in."
In response to Reply # 0

A copy of the letter which will be hand-copied and mailed to Emmis communications:

To whom it may concern:

It has come to my attention that an Emmis Communications-owned radio station, New York City�s Hot 97, has been broadcasting a parody song on its morning show, which satirizes the recent tsunami in Asia. Having heard the song (audio available at www.thesilent1.com/USA_For_Indonesia.mp3), I feel that it is distasteful, banal, and completely disrespectful of the millions of people affected by this disaster.

I am a strong advocate of free speech rights, and I acknowledge that it was within the station�s rights to air the song. In addition, I do not believe that humor cannot be found in tragedy. That said, creating parodies of the event while people are still burying their dead and trying to recover their lives is completely unacceptable. Furthermore, there was absolutely nothing funny about the song, which made racial slurs against Asian people (Chinese people, in fact, despite the fact that the disaster occurred in south Asia) and references to child slavery. Even at its best, the song was just inane. Thus, even if it were not in as poor taste as it is, the song should not have aired due to simply being bad comedy.

As a DJ at an Austin, Texas radio station, and long-time fan of hip hop music and culture, it disappoints me to see this from a major urban music station in the first city of hip hop, New York. It projects a negative image of the culture, and everyone who loves and contributes to it. As such, I demand that a public apology for this indiscretion be made, and that the individuals responsible for it be disciplined. I also feel that your company as well as Hot 97 would be well-advised to find something charitable you can do to aid the victims of the tsunami, instead of producing tasteless parodies of the situation.

Sincerely yours,

<--- Classic Jazz Avy: Charles Earland - Black Talk!

OKP 'ButtLickinGangsta' talking about some hoe he knows who fucks chimps!! Hahaha!!

"So I was talkin to this hoe on the phone and asked her what was the freakiest thing she ever did. She says she fucked a monkey once. I didnt believe her. She says her friend's boyfriend works at the zoo so they brought a monkey over to her crib one night & she was drunk & fucked it while they videotaped her. So she says she was a video proving it.
So she comes over later that night an brings the tape. I put it on & there she is gettin dicked down by this chimp. He's tearin that pussy up an screamin & makin all kinds of monkey noises. I aint even know what to think. She jus laughed an said "sorry i was drunk." I thought she was a sick bitch but I still fucked her anyway."

<------ K. Fed is gangsta, son.

RADIO WAVE OF ANGER OVER ASIAN SLAP

January 22, 2005 -- A popular hip-hop radio show is in hot water over a parody that mocked victims of the South Asian tsunami catastrophe, calling them "screaming chinks" and "little Chinamen."

Yonkers-based Asian Media Watch accuses the WQHT/Hot 97 "Miss Jones in the Morning" show of "repeated racist attitudes" and demands the program's "elimination."

"The host broadcasts a horrifying song that mocks the dead South Asian tsunami victims, uses the racial slurs 'chink' and 'Chinamen,' and calls the drowning victims 'bitches,' " said AMW director Kai Yu in a letter to Hot 97's John Dimick.

Station-owner Emmis Communications issued an apology late yesterday.

"We apologize to our listeners and to anyone who was offended," Dimick said. " has agreed to contribute one-week's pay to the tsunami-relief efforts." John Mainelli

I think it is obvious that they don't care. Let's hope this gets greater coverage, as the article in the New York Post shows.

In response to Reply # 0

They sent this response to my email today:
-------------------

"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."

In response to Reply # 0

peace
Thanx for making me aware of this matter
I'm sittin' here in a blizzard, watching the PBS "Jack Johnson" documentary, and the story of this great man's life has got me fired up enough to write Hot 97 the following letter:

<<To Whom It May Concern-

I am writing to express my disgust with the hateful, racist song being played on your station that mocks the tsunami victims of Asia and Africa.
For this blatant expression of cruelty that you and unnamed individuals have dressed up as a "Joke", a joke no less vicious than any act of physical violence or burning cross, may God have mercy on your dim, cruel souls.
And be sure that, as a writer, musician and activist, I will do everything in my power to make others aware of this matter, so that other New Yorkers will honor the cause for human dignity and turn away from your station permanently. Burn Hot 97 Burn!

Ms S.
>>

Keep strivin'. Bless the survivors of this great tragedy, one of the most severe in recent history. Bless them and bless you for raising your voice in protest.

Bad witch

In response to Reply # 0
Sat Jan-22-05 08:00 PM

seriously. fuck hot 97. that's why i dont listen to that garbage, no matter who was in charge of it.

the point is that whatever relief funding is going on now, most of that child slavery/young girl prostitution/mail order bride industry is supported by FOREIGN money, ie: USA sickos EU sickos, Etc and so on. the shit is real, not a fucking joke, and how would they like it if half of america "swam away" we'd be fuckin wilin.

this world is crazy.

didnt' get to read all the responses but the FCC need to get on miss jones fuckin crazy ass, and hot97 as a whole.

ps: Chingy was tryna come out at first as "chinky" in ref to his eyes... didnt know that it was politically incorrect, and was told by record execs that it was a no no... eff his crazy ass too.

My letter:
To Whomever This May Concern:

Although it is understood that Hot97 has already issued a public apology on the statement, I still wanted to send over a message to let it be known how truly disappointed and affected by the fact that this type of garbage was displayed by such a popular urban radio station.

I come from a mixed Black/Asian background, and while the country of my background was not affected by this tragedy, I can tell you now that relations between my two racial backgrounds have never been easy, and this does not help it at all. Besides, the word "Chink" or any other slur, used in any way, shape or form is just as offensive to me as the word "Nigger". While the station may bleep the words from songs, it does not change the fact that it is wrong.

Whether the offenders at the station and those who smirked and let it air know it or not, there is a very REAL industry of child slavery, teen prostitution and mail-order bride agencies that are supported by US and foreign monies. These are industries put in place by people that are desperate- and families that resort to selling a child due so because they cannot survive on whatever means they have. To make fun of such a problem in a country that is ignored without such tragedies as this, instead of doing something about it, is appalling.

The fact that Hot97 and the morning show hosts will be donating extra monies to the relief effort is honorable. However, when dealing with tragedies, and the exploitation of a people for a few laughs, I suggest adding links to groups that provide something more of an activist route. This would include speaking out against other wrongs as well, such as the high AIDS rate of not just African Americans in the States, but abroad, and the situation in Sudan.

Please relay to your host DJs to have a bit more substance, and less bullshit.

As a minority female looking forward to a career in the Music Industry, I understand the power of mass media, and Hot97ers, I am thoroughly disappointed.

I do hope that Miss Jones relays an apology to Miss Info, as well.

Thank you for your attention.

Regards,
I. Arias

387. "RE: ive sent my letter in."
In response to Reply # 0
Sat Jan-22-05 08:14 PM

that shit is disgusting.

...have you?
To whom it may concern,

I am just going to get straight to the point of my e-mail. I have heard the parody and tasteless humor your radio station and it's on air personality "Miss Jones" directed towards the 100,000 plus lives that were lost in Indonesia due to the earthquake and tsunami that nearly devastated the region.

I am appalled, disgusted and angered at your stations futile attempts towards finding a foothold within morning radio ratings, at the expense of the thousands of lives that were lost on Sunday, December 26th 2004. There was a time when I regarded your station as a positive and nurturing entity within the minority community as well as the hip hop culture as a whole. Your station provided not only entertainment but insightful and thought provoking shows such as "Street Soldiers" to help young listeners to understand the world that exists beyond their boundaries of superficiality and ignorance. Yet, it amazes me that although in one hand, your station attempts to provide cultural and social education and entertainment for the community, in the other you still perpetrate the same kind of foul and vile evil that plagues and feeds into the ignorance and complacency that continues to haunt our communities and children.

When will a line be drawn? When will your station learn to say enough is enough and accept realistic of responsibility outside the duality of your stations irresponsibility?

Recently, i came upon an apology issued by your institution, written as the following:

"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."

...honestly, i find this to be a "piss poor" apology with a serious lack of empathy and reprimand for those who were responsible for their racist, ignorant and thoughtless attack upon nations of people who did not and DO NOT deserve to be your comedic "flavor of the month". And so, your stations efforts towards atoning for this foolish act results in Miss Jones and her staff forfeiting a week's pay towards the Tsunami Relief Efforts???

This apology proves to me that your institution is not serious about accepting responsibility, nor is it serious about making REAL change towards repairing the damage your on-air personality "Miss Jones" caused for those who lost families in the Indonesian and Somalia regions.

I suggest that you, your staff including Miss Jones take a look at this photo from the Tsunami disaster. Then.... decide whether the so-called message in your stations apology matches the tone of lives lost in this picture. Keep in mind, that isn't just artificial debris lying down on the beach. Those are HUMAN BEINGS.: http://www.coreykoberg.com/Tsunami/

Take a look at these pictures as well: http://www.coreykoberg.com/Tsunami/

Due to her racist and foolhardy attitude, I STRONGLY believe that Miss Jones and her staff should be ethically and professionally (NOT JUST FINANCIALLY) reprimanded for their ignorance. I remember when Miss Jones was appalled at Star (a former Hot 97 DJ) for his tasteless humor towards the death of R&B singer Aaliyah Haughton. Miss Jones walked off the air that morning and eventually left his morning show all together. Yet, for some reason, she condones and practices the same kind of senseless immorality with this racist skit that she participated in, as well as released on the airwaves?

Your station has sunk to an all time low. Not only with this mindless stunt, but with the slow and unacceptable efforts made to even acknowledge an iota of wrong doing and irresponsibility. Because of this, I have decided to no longer contribute nor associate my interests in your station any longer, except to do the following: Until REAL change is implemented, a petition is being drawn as I type this e-mail, to effectively boycott your station. And I assure you that there will be a legion of supporters to send a message that the public and the hip hop community will NOT tolerate the racism and ignorance Miss Jones and your station practiced and continue to condone.

Your station's 15 minutes are now clocked at 14:59:59.

*

Time's up.

Sincerely,

An Ex-Listener

401. "next week?"
In response to Reply # 394

as in this week right? not next two weeks later after the fact

is johnny carsons and the three firefighters death taking up that much column room?

i don't listen to hot97 so i don't know if a public apology has been made or any reprocussions other than the retraction.
could you update me on the fall out of their bad judgement?

i'm a bit disappointed in the news in that there has been no sign of at the least a handslap on this but not surprised clearchannel may have shut down any fallout on this issue. the government should ne notified of any hint of a suppression of news which this is what it is looking like. it's all over the internet but nothing on the major networks was there anythng on cable?

In response to Reply # 0

If Howard Stern is going to get slapped with fat fines for discussing genitalia, Miss Jones and Hot 97 should certainly get punished for using racial slurs. Or does "chink" not count as a racial slur? Gonna do a little research tomorrow.

In response to Reply # 0

STATEMENT FROM SPRINT

* Sprint does NOT have any connection to the Tsunami Song aired on Hot
97 FM.

* Sprint strongly objects to any communication or other effort making
light of the devastation of the tsunami disaster. The content of the
"Tsunami song" clearly runs contrary to Sprint's commitment to diversity
and inclusion, and is not in any way supported or condoned by Sprint.
Needless to say, our hearts go out to the tsunami victims and their
families -- for this and other reasons, the Sprint Foundation and our
associates have worked together since the tsunami tragedy to raise funds
for disaster relief efforts and will continue to do so.

*Sprint has purchased advertising time on Hot 97 but was incorrectly
identified as a sponsor of the segment of the show in which the song was
referenced. In any case, Sprint was unaware and had no connection to the
content of the "Tsunami Song."

*Sprint has expressed our strong concern about this content to the radio
station. The station has issued a public apology and appears to have
disciplined the responsible parties. Sprint continually evaluates
acceptable content against our own guidelines and we will continue to
monitor the process with all outlets in which we advertise

In response to Reply # 0

Why was Miss Jones all up in Miss Info's grill? I heard the argument leading up to the airing of the song, and I just don't get it.

If Info had asked Jones to support a song singing about "lynching niggers," I'm SURE Jones would have had a mouthful to say. And then some.

Btw, chinky/chink/chinaman are all offensive. I flinch when I hear non-Asian people use it.

NY radio station apologizes over tsunami slur
24 Jan 2005 23:38:11 GMT
Source: Reuters
(Note offensive language in paragraph 3)

By Mark Egan

NEW YORK, Jan 24 (Reuters) - A New York radio station apologized on Monday for repeatedly airing a joke song that ridiculed victims of the recent tsunami in South Asia and used racial slurs, saying the piece was in poor taste.

New York FM radio station WQHT, or HOT 97, ran the segment on its "Miss Jones in the Morning" show. The piece used racial slurs to describe people swept away in the disaster, made jokes about child slavery and people watching their mothers die.

"You can hear God laughing, 'Swim you bitches swim,'" was one line in the song.

The hip-hop and R&B station, known for its "shock jocks," apologized on its Web site, saying it, "regrets the airing of material that made light of a serious and tragic event. We apologize to our listeners and anyone who was offended."

WQHT's program director and deejay Tarsha Nicole Jones, who uses the on-air name Miss Jones, apologized on the program and said the segment should not have been broadcast.

The piece drew wide criticism from Albany to New York's City Hall, with many lawmakers calling on the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to fine HOT 97.

"At a time when virtually the entire world has come together to help in the tsunami tragedy relief, employees of HOT 97 have come up with this song," said New York State Assembly member Jimmy Meng, a Democrat from Queens. "We are disgusted and demand immediate action by the FCC."

An FCC spokesman in Washington had no immediate comment.

The piece was also denounced by the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations, which said it had received calls from Muslims offended by the piece.

Station-owner Emmis Communications Corp. <EMMS.O> issued an apology and said the seven-person staff of the show has agreed to contribute one-week's pay each to tsunami-relief efforts.

The incident is not the first time HOT 97 has been accused of racism and poor taste. The station made headlines when deejay Star, now at another radio station, called Jennifer Lopez a "rice-and-bean eater" and satirized the plane crash that killed R&B singer Aaliyah in 2001.

Four weeks after giant waves killed as many as 234,000 people across the Indian Ocean region, workers are still pulling hundreds of bodies from the mud and rubble each day and aid groups say they are struggling to reach isolated areas.

Citizen Group Steamed At Hot 97 Morning Team Over Tsunami Parody
Jan. 24, 2005
By Ken Tucker

While former R&B/hip-hop WQHT (Hot 97) New York morning team Star and Buc Wild are busy offending Indians and Jews, WQHT�s current morning show, �Miss Jones In The Morning,� has landed in hot water following a recent parody targeting Asians.

Yonkers, N.Y.-based Asian Media Watch (AMW) has accused the Hot 97 morning show of �repeated racist attitudes� and demands the program�s �elimination,� according to the New York Post.

At the heart of the controversy is a song the show aired that used the racial slurs �chinks� and �Chinaman� and included the lines �go find your mommy, I just saw her float by, a tree right through her head.�

�The host broadcasts a horrifying song that mocks the dead South Asian tsunami victims ... and calls the drowning victims �bitches,�� AMW director Kai Yu said in a letter to Hot 97 PD John Dimick.

Station-owner Emmis Communications issued an apology.

�We apologize to our listeners and to anyone who was offended,� Dimick said. � has agreed to contribute one-week�s pay to the tsunami-relief efforts.�

Lawmakers Call For Fines Against Hot 97 For Song Ridiculing Tsunami Victims

JANUARY 24TH, 2005

Popular hip-hop radio station Hot 97 is now in hot water after it aired a song which parodied the victims of the South Asian tsunami disaster.

Several City Council members gathered on the steps of City Hall Monday to denounce the station for playing a song which used racial epithets during the �Ms. Jones� morning show. The song parody includes anti-Asian slurs and lyrics about God laughing at disaster victims.

The station ran the song, which is sung to the tune of "We Are the World,� all last week, and now Council members are calling for action.

�Station management has to be responsible for their product, and their product is this show and all the other shows that they put out,� said Queens Councilman James Gennaro. �They can't hide behind the actual talent that's on the show doing this kind of crap."

"We demand that the FCC take some kind of action. If they can impose hundreds of thousands of dollars, or millions of dollars, in penalties for a wardrobe malfunction, thjey can certainly take some kind of action with regard to this," said Queens Councilman John Liu.

The station's owner issued an apology after it pulled the song off the air that said: "We apologize to our listeners and to anyone who was offended. The show's entire seven-person staff has agreed to contribute one week's pay to the tsunami relief efforts."

Hot 97 radio and morning personality Miss Jones are under fire for airing a racially charged parody song that City Council members Monday said mocked tsunami victims and Asians.

Despite an on-air apology Monday, council members along with Asian-American leaders called for federal fines, a stronger apology and for the Hip-Hop station to fire its morning crew.

The song, to the tune of the charity song "We are the World," was played several times since Jan. 18 until it was halted Friday amid complaints.

The lyrics began talking about 20-foot waves followed by racial epithets.

In addition to Miss Jones, the other on-air crew includes DJ Envy, Todd Lynn and Miss Info, a Korean-American woman who was heard registering opposition to the song.

Councilman John Liu of Flushing was joined by several colleagues and Asian American leaders who denounced the hosts, Hot 97 and its parent company, Emmis Communications.

"This is utterly irreprehensible," Liu said. "It degrades the more than 200,000 victims, it demeans all of us here in New York City and throughout the world who are engaged in trying to help these victims of the tsunami and it's an insult to humankind itself."

Liu said he was particularly offended by an on-air exchange in which Lynn said, "I'm gonna start shooting Asians."

After posting an apology on its Web site, Miss Jones and the station manager issued an on-air apology Monday. The Web site said Jones and others on the show will donate a week's salary to relief efforts.

John Dimick, the station's program director, declined to elaborate Monday except to say, "We regret the airing of it and we apologize to our listeners."

A spokesman for the Federal Communications Commission said he couldn't comment without a formal complaint and before listening to the lyrics.

The station was home to the controversial "Star and Buc Wild" who were yanked in 2003 but not before they were suspended for offensive comments. The two recently returned to Power 105.

In addition to calling for a FCC probe, Liu said the company should donate a "substantial" amount of revenues to the relief effort.

"We have to go after their advertisters," said Councilman James Gennaro.

They played it through headphones for random passersby, who were all outraged.

The story seems to be gathering steam, my father also told me he saw it mentioned in the crawl on CNN.

In response to Reply # 428

This may be one of those AskDarcie questions. I believe there is a law which protects artists from creating a parody, but if the artist disagrees with it, they can proceed with suing. While the song was not made available for sale, it was still played on the radio a number of songs, on a radio show that was sponsored.

Not sure how things would proceed in this case.

last night. I had been following these postings about it all last week and was very proud of your responses but I hadn't heard the song until last night. Now that I have, I really do appreciate how OKP has come together to speak up about it. It was absolutely horrible and I can't even believe anyone would think it was funny!!

Radio Hosts' Song Mocks Tsunami Victims

While ordinary people and celebrities around the world have rallied to raise money for victims of the Asian tsunami, the stars of Hot 97's morning program in New York are mocking those who died or lost relatives in the disaster, which has killed more than 150,000 people. In "Tsunami Song," a parody of the 1980's famine relief number "We Are the World," the WQHT-FM show's morning cast, led by the cantankerous D.J. Miss Jones, right, sing the following lyrics: "Go find your mommy, I just saw her float by/A tree went through her head, and now the children will be sold to child slavery." Several racial slurs are also used throughout the song, which went on the air early last week, bringing outraged reaction. In a news conference at City Hall yesterday, Councilman John C. Liu, a Democrat from the 20th District, in Flushing, Queens, denounced the song. "This is a piece of garbage," he said in a telephone interview afterward. "This is degrading to the more than 200,000 people that perished in this disaster. It's insulting to the thousands of New Yorkers and people around the world engaged in relief efforts, and it's just offensive to all of humankind." Hot 97 has already pulled the song from its Web site. A person familiar with the situation said executives from the station's parent company, Emmis Communications, had had angry meetings with station executives. A statement now on the Web site, www.hot97.com, reads, "HOT 97 and 'Miss Jones in the Morning' regret the airing of material that made light of a serious and tragic event," adding, "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."

Outrage over awful lyrics to HOT 97's racist 'Tsunami Song'

BY FRANK LOMBARDI
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Scenes of death and destruction in Banda Aceh, Indonesia (below), are hilarious, right? Apparently to HOT 97 deejay Miss Jones (above), who aired parody.

Hip-Hop radio station HOT 97 has sparked outrage across the city by airing a twisted song that shockingly mocks the 200,000 victims of the South Asian tsunami.
The radio station, WQHT, was forced to air an apology yesterday after the insulting song - whose lyrics include racial epithets aimed at Asians - was played for four days last week by morning deejay Miss Jones.

"We are absolutely appalled, saddened, outraged and angered," said Kai Yu of Asian Media Watch.

The nasty parody, sung to the tune of "We Are the World," makes light of how the killer tsunami "washed your whole country away."

Some of the other tasteless lyrics refer jokingly to orphaned children being sold into slavery.

"You're sick," City Councilman Robert Jackson (D-Manhattan) fumed at HOT 97.

Before one airing of the song, the station's news reader, Miss Info, who is of Asian descent, objected to the song, only to be attacked by Jones and her cohorts.

"That song is really offensive to me, and I opted not to involve myself," Miss Info said.

Jones replied, "I know you feel you're superior because you're Asian, but you're not." Later, co-host Todd Lyn, incensed at Miss Info's criticism, said, "I'm going to start shooting Asians."

Councilman John Liu (D-Queens) said it was outrageous that the station, owned by Emmis Communications Corp., aired the song for four days.

"It degrades the more than 200,000 victims," Liu said.

Liu and other Asian leaders have called for the Federal Communications Commission to crack down on the station and demanded that Miss Jones, whose full name is Tarsha Jones, be fired.

Jones and program director John Dimick both read apologies on the air yesterday.

"HOT 97 regrets the airing of material that made light of a serious and tragic event," Dimick said. "We apologize to our listeners and anyone who was offended."

Jones and six people working on her show will donate a week of their salaries to tsunami relief, Dimick said.

But Dimick refused to say whether Jones would be fired.

Musical Parody Pulled Off Air, Called 'Racist'
BY JILL GARDINER - Staff Reporter of the Sun
January 25, 2005

City politicians and representatives of the Asian-American community attacked the hip-hop radio station Hot 97 yesterday for airing a parody song that used racial slurs to mock victims of last month's Indian Ocean tsunami.

The song, set to the tune of the 1980s humanitarian anthem "We Are The World," was broadcast on the station's morning show several times last week before it was pulled in response to listener complaints.

Yesterday, members of the City Council, the Organization of Chinese Americans, and Asian Media Watch demanded that the Federal Communication Commission take immediate action and called on the radio station to overhaul its standards.

Several council members also called for the morning-radio personality with the on-air name Miss Jones, who played the song, to be fired; for advertisers to pull their sponsorship, and for the station's parent company, Emmis Communications, to donate to the tsunami relief effort.

"It is sick to be broadcasting comments about 'screaming chinks' and 'little Chinamen' being swept away," a Queens member of the council, John Liu, said. Mr. Liu represents Flushing, a mostly Chinese and Korean area.

"If the FCC can impose heavy penalties on a TV station for inadvertently having a quote wardrobe malfunction," he said, in a reference to the performance at last year's Super Bowl in which one of Janet Jackson's breasts was exposed, "it can certainly take some kind of action in this case."

During a news conference on the steps of City Hall, Mr. Liu played a taped version of the song on a black boom box as his colleagues looked on.

"It's a disgrace to all humanity," Council Member Robert Jackson said just after the song played. "They dreamed up this hatred and racist words in order to be funny? Well, no one is laughing. In fact, everyone I know is outraged."

"It's not funny," he said, his voice rising. "It's sad and you're sick."

The station, which is on the FM dial, posted an apology on its Web site last week."HOT97 regrets the airing of material that made light of a serious and tragic event," it said.

The statement goes on to say that Miss Jones and the program director made on-air apologies Monday, and it promises to make a "substantial cash donation" to the relief effort in Southeast Asia.

"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," the statement said. When called to elaborate yesterday, station personnel sent an e-mail of the same statement to The New York Sun. It did not say whether anyone would be fired.

Mr. Liu said he had been told that those directly involved pledged to donate a week's salary to the relief effort. He said that he would hold them to the pledge, but that a larger response from the company was needed.

The Asian Media Watch, a nonprofit organization devoted to ensuring a fair portrayal of Asian-Americans, posted a link on its Web site to both the song and the broadcast leading up to one of the airings, in which the morning show's cohost, Todd Lynn, also says: "I'm gonna start shooting Asians."

A spokeswoman for the FCC declined to comment on the specific case. She said indecency rules apply only to sexually explicit content and do not govern offensive comments unless there is a "clear and present danger."

Mr. Liu said it was "absolutely indecent."

"When you call on the radio waves to go out and start shooting members of a certain racial group," the council member said, "how much more indecent can you possibly get?"

The chairman of the FCC, Michael Powell, announced his resignation Friday. The commission has enforced strict decency standards for broadcasters during his tenure but has come under attack from radio personalities such as Howard Stern, who says the government has no right to define what is too explicit sexually.

In response to Reply # 0

Hello Jose:

Thank you for taking the time to contact McDonald's and share your feelings about our commercial placements. We appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

First and foremost, please know that the relationship we have with our customers is one we value greatly. Our customers are at the heart of every decision we make, and we would never do anything to intentionally offend any of our customers.

When it comes to determining where we advertise, we have an obligation to our customers, employees, franchisees, and shareholders to reach our customers as effectively as possible. To that end, we work hard to have an ongoing dialog with all the media outlets with which we work. We regularly review programming where our advertising messages appear, and strive to associate our messages with programming that is relevant and entertaining and that speaks to our customers in positive environments.

That said, it's important to understand that McDonald's is not directly involved with programming decisions. As an advertiser, our role is not to determine what broadcasters should or should not air. That decision belongs to the broadcaster and, ultimately, to the individual listener. Whenever we have the opportunity, we talk about the core values of McDonald's that make our brand what it is today.

Please be assured that we will continue to search for entertaining, responsible programming for the placement of our commercials. Again, thank you for contacting McDonald's.

Hot97, which you sponsor has recently played a jingle which is being denounced by the community as racist, ignorant and demeaning.

Your advertising dollars are paying for these transgressions. Please review your advertising priorities.

Is that now that the issue is starting to get some exposure, the right-wing media is going to run with the story as another example of how hip-hop is ruining America.

it was a half-assed criticism, basically.

he was saying something about people having no standards at all, and i didn't know what he was talking about.

he says tragedies can be made fun of, but that's not really his thing. he then goes on to say everyone has a line, and this crossed his.

448. "DJ Kuttin Kandi's Letter To Hot97:"
In response to Reply # 0

Dear John Dimick:

Thank you for that somewhat of an e-mail that you probably consider a response to my phone message that I left you early Friday, January 21, 2005. I am astonished as to how you went out of your way to search out my name so that you can find out my e-mail address so that you can e-mail me instead of calling me back. How is it that you found time to search out for my e-mail and yet no time to return my phone call? I understand that your schedule may be hectic; however this is a hectic situation. This is a situation that cannot be handled lightly.

I am not satisfied with that poor excuse of an apology that you e-mailed to me, nor am I satisfied with the fact that Hot 97 simply pulled out the link of the song off their website as if to say it never existed, nor am I satisfied that Hot 97 made their version of a public apology on UPN 9 and whatever media station aired it and even considered it an apology. I am angered, disappointed and saddened that Hot 97 has not made more of an attempt to step up to the plate to take more of a responsibility for their actions on this heinous racial attack.

John Dimick, the truth is, is that your letter was a generic apology. It was an apology that seemed like Hot 97 only wanted to rid the problem quickly and quietly so that it would load off all the hostility that Hot 97 may have already been receiving. An apology is heartfelt, sympathetic and real. It also heals and consoles. Your e-mail did neither. An apology also not only admits faults and flaws, it also finds out why it is a mistake and what solutions can be done so that the mistake cannot be made again. You have stated in your e-mail �as an additional sign of Hot 97�s committment to the cause Miss Jones
in the Morning have agreed to contribute one weeks pay to Tsunami Relief efforts.� I�m sorry Hot 97, but I don�t think that is a sign of commitment at all. I believe that is a sign that Hot 97, Miss Jones and etc� knew what they did was wrong and quickly tried to rid of the situation to protect their image. If Hot 97 is at all �committed to the cause� then they would partake on real community work.

Since this was a racial attack against my people made by your station Hot 97, I believe that not only a public apology ON Hot 97 is needed but a public education awareness campaign on racial matters and hate crimes is needed. This hateful attack that was made by Hot 97 only shows how big racism and bigotry still exists in the world. Hot 97 has continuously played a key role in promoting this kind of hatred to their listeners. Being that Hot 97 attracts a wide range of listeners from young to old of all different races and cultures I feel that they have a huge responsibility to make sure that these kinds of incidents do not occur. Not only must they insure that these incidents never take place they must be held accountable when they do. With that being said, I am demanding that Hot 97 must raise awareness and educate in the community about how important it is for all our communities to unite and realize we�ve all been affected, therefore we should all educate ourselves about what we can do for each other. If these needs cannot be met then I am prepared to start up my own campaign on �Radio and Responsibility� where not only the Asian community and the Hip-Hop community will be involved, but all communities who are against these kind of �Howard Stern Shock Jock� type of bigotry.

In your generic e-mail apology to me (that you sent out to everyone else and posted on the Hot 97 site) you stated that Hot 97 takes pride in its community involvement. John, I really doubt Hot 97 understands what community involvement means. It has been brought to my attention that on the Hot 97 website it has been referring it�s listeners to Jackson-Hewett�s website. Jackson-Hewitt is known for their predatory lending scams, stealing millions of dollars from low-income neighborhoods through the sales of Refund Anticipation Loans (RALs) and other overpriced bank products. Jackson-Hewitt is the second largest tax preparer in the country, and regularly targets low-income families. 73% of Jackson-Hewitt�s customers make less than $29,000 per year and 70% of their customers are sold a RAL or other high-cost bank product. Mr. Dimick is this what you call �community involvement�??

John, for as long as I have been listening to Hot 97 there have always been racial comments made on air whether it was with your past hosts Star and Buckwild or now with Miss Jones. I�ve gotten to the point where enough is enough. I am at a point where I feel Hot 97 must really take responsibility for their actions by not only having Miss Jones agreeing to contribute one week�s pay to Tsunami Relief efforts, but by taking a step back and realizing what they are doing to our community, what they are teaching their radio listeners and how Hot 97 can truly use radio to SERVE THE PEOPLE.

Hot 97 must also realize that they did not just offend �Asian community�, they offended the world. They didn�t just �make light of a tragic event�, they basically showed their listening public that not only do they not care, they think it�s positive to make fun of 5 million people�s pain, to be ignorant, and to promote racist attitudes and slurs. �Making light� doesn�t even begin to address the underlying issues that emerge when a radio station with the scope and reach that theirs does allows something like this to hit
the airwaves. It says something about the people who work "The Morning Show," it says something about the people who run the station, it says something about the people who own the station, it says something about what HOT 97 stands for and represents.

On a more personal note, I, DJ Kuttin Kandi as a Hip-Hop fan, a Hip-Hop Activist, a Hip-Hop DJ, Hip-Hop teacher and a Hip-Hop lover, I am greatly saddened that this could happen on a Hip-Hop station. Hip-Hop can be used in such powerful ways to not only educate our listeners, our youth and our communities about the ongoing atrocities in this world, but to bring our people together. Hip-Hop, especially for us, people of color, is our own form of free expression to free ourselves from this kind of oppression. It can be used to create a social movement and to bring a message of peace, justice, hope and unity. Throughout the years, you have seen Hip-Hop take upon such a beautiful struggle to become the big revolutionary culture it is today. Unfortunately, Hot 97 has decided to become its own entity, in its own world of what they define as Hip-Hop and has divided our communities.

However, as an idealist, I believe in change and I believe that everyone has the ability to seek their great potential. In this case, I believe Hot 97 has the ability to make a positive change and take steps to truly understand what �community involvement� truly means. I am reaching out to you John Dimick that you take that role to be the responsible person as a program director of Hot 97 to step up to the plate and make some positive changes. I am in hopes that this tragedy will educate us and teach us on how we can come together in Hip-Hop to make a real difference in all of our lives.

Peace and blessings,
DJ Kuttin Kandi
and Allison Faelner (ACORN)

below is John Dimick's response to my first phone message:
-------------------------------------------

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.

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

Relief efforts.

450. "Two things:"
In response to Reply # 448

1. I can't believe Hot97 hasn't issued an apology on their own station/airwaves. That just screams of if we ignore it, it'll go away. They should be running apology bumpers during every show.

2. Why she have to drag Howard Stern's name into the fray? Even he didn't cross the line hot97 did, in fact he felt hella bad about what happened. I guess he's right though, when somebody else f@#Ks up on radio it always comes back to him.

Peace.

454. "RE: Hot 97 Mocking the"
In response to Reply # 0

Jose3030, you doing it!

If there's anything else we need to do to organize and bring Hell to Miss Jones and Toddy Lynn, I want to help!
We need to bumrush them any way we can.

Somehow we need to find out Miss Jones' home phone number.

Anyways, I just sent an email to Mcdonalds after reading your email and reply.

Here's what I wrote, still waiting for a reply...

"
Hot97, a station which you sponsor has performed a grave injustice by producing a song of unmatched offensiveness, cruelty, and blatant racism.

All across the country, and the world, people of all races are hearing this offensive song via the internet, message boards, blogs, and word of mouth/email.
They are galvanizing in anger and are incensed to see that no severe repercussions have been levied on those responsible.

A shallow apology, and a deflection of responsibility, and a petty donation is not the response people are looking for.

Obviously, McDonalds was not directly responsible for HOT97's offending material. However, I am grossly disappointed in McDonalds' response to this matter.

Here was a chance to show your customers, that you are not a soulless corporation; that just as the public is outraged by this song, so too is McDonalds. This was your chance to take sides with the people, your customers.
But instead of kicking HOT97 to the curb and garnering praise and accolades from the public, you merely deny involvement and continue your sponsorship of HOT97 programming. This is not good public relations. A wonderful opportunity to invest in public perception/image enhancement wasted.

Well, I'm sure the billions of people/customer's in China, India, and the tsunami affected areas would like to know that McDonalds endorses a radio station that demeans the 1.3 billion Chinese customers as "chinks" and "chinamen", while taking pleasure in the idea of them dying in a tsunami.
If you continue to bankroll HOT97 via advertising dollars, I will work fervently to spread this publicity to my foreign contacts, relatives, and friends living in China, Hong Kong, Korea, and India.

Already, stateside, many non-Asians, along with those not directly affected by the tsunami, are organizing boycotts of HOT97 sponsors.
Imagine how those in Asia will react.

What the f@#k is that supposed to mean?

I just peeped the back & forth she had w. Ms. Info. Miss Jones has the debate/conversation skills of a high school girl.

You can tell she's close to a break down.

Peace.

Jin's response was so on point. there should be more pressure to get advertisers to pull their ads from the morning show. and as an aside, it seemed like Jin forgot that Asians were not only affected. Some East African nations also suffered tremendous losses as well. Jin was still on point though.

The way she went at Miss Info for not taking part it in, and then saying "I know you think you're better than us because you're Asian". Guess she forgets when she walked out of Star & Buc in a huff when they made fun of Aaliyah's crash.

468. "VICTORY!!! McDonald's suspendes advertising!"
In response to Reply # 0

Of course I'm glad the staff got suspended, but IMO this is even better cause the station is losing money from advertisers.

Here is the email I got from McDonald's:

Hello Jason:

Thank you for taking the time contact McDonald's. We appreciate the opportunity to respond to you regarding the recent events involving hosts from the Hot 97 morning radio program in New York.

First, McDonald's does not support programs that discriminate or are insensitive to the plight of people suffering from devastating events. Starting immediately, McDonald's will indefinitely suspend advertising on the Hot 97 morning show.

It's also important to know that Ronald McDonald House Charities, McDonald's Corporation and the McDonald's family around the world have donated more than two million dollars to the Tsunami relief efforts. We take these matters very seriously and will continue to work together to help victims of this devastating disaster.

Again, thank you for giving us the opportunity to respond to your concerns.

Roger
