I just came across a clip of the ‘Miss Jones’ show on the Badmash website and chased a few links across Google looking for more info on the incident.

Hey, sarcasm and parody are popular in Oz…. but this was a really disgusting clip, without humour, without intelligence. And even more disgusting was the behaviour of ‘Miss Jones’…the song was rehearsed and premeditated, but it was her ‘spontaneous racism’ that frightened me.

She should have been fired for that kind of attack. It was so idiotic, and hateful.

Listening to this, you start to think that perhaps all the horrible things you hear about Americans are really true!

If that woman really must continue on radio, she ought to get some counselling. Not only does she have some destructive ideas, but she argues them really poorly as well. Not cool for someone in ‘communications’.

No hope of a hurricane song from the station, is there then?

Has Bob Geldoff made any comment about the use of the song either?

Newsday has just withdrawn all advertising from Hot 97 as a result of the wicked tsunami song.

Many companies have already pulled advertising from Hot 97 including McDonalds, Reebok, Sprint, and Toyota. We urge Newsday to also withdraw their ads.

Hot 97 radio, owned by Emmis Communications, demeaned and dehumanized millions of victims of the South Asian tsunami to the horror of appalled listeners. To the tunes of “We Are the World,” Hot 97 radio hosts sang lyrics containing racial epithets and profanity, and denigrated tsunami victims in the name of God.

Lyrics include “You can hear the screaming chks … little Chinamen swept away. You can hear ‘God laughing swim you b**es swim.’” To read more about this incident, listen to the song, or read the full lyrics, visit the website http://www.asianmediawatch.net/missjones/

The Coalition Against Hate Media (CAHM) was formed over two weeks ago to combat the hatred and intolerance promoted by Hot 97′s Tsunami Song, and to hold Hot 97 and parent company Emmis Communications accountable for their actions.

CAHM is a diverse coalition with representatives from different communities: Black, Hispanic/Latino, White, Asian, Hip Hop, student groups, etc. CAHM member organizations attended the January 28 protest rally at Hot 97 Studios, in support of the protest efforts led by City Council Member John C. Liu.

In response to public outcry, Hot 97 fired two staff members, suspended others, and pledged a donation to tsunami relief. However, Hot 97′s actions were done unilaterally and not in a spirit of mutual cooperation with the communities they so deeply scarred.

Senior executives from parent company Emmis Communications, not Hot 97, need to meet with community leaders including City Council Member John C. Liu and representatives of CAHM. Firings and suspensions are not enough. Hot 97 management can simply hire new hate producers and DJs. Hot 97 must change its culture of hate: one that condoned, produced, and repeatedly broadcast the Tsunami Song.

About CAHM The national Coalition Against Hate Media (CAHM) is a diverse coalition of over 40 national and community-based organizations that promotes diverse, fair, and balanced media representation. CAHM denounce messages of hate that discriminate against people based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or religious background.
