HOT 97 broadcasts racist tsunami hate song

[BrightKnight]

"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 b**ches swim,' " was one line in the song, sung by staff of the show to the melody of the 1985 famine relief song "We Are the World."

"All at once you could hear the screaming ch*nks...little chinamen swept away"

This kind of racist hate speech is far more profane than any wardrobe malfunction or four letter word. The FCC has done nothing. The station management has only suspended the hosts. I find it difficult to believe that they could have broadcast this for four days without the knowledge of the station managers.

It was also disturbing that the host of the show attacked an Asian American employee on air and at length for saying that she did not want to be associated with the project.
