NYC Rally Against Racist Hot97

[Noname]

KNOW THE FACTS AND HELP STOP RACIST HOT 97
The white executives at Emmis Broadcasting which owns Hot 97:

Undermine the values and positive work of the greater Hip-Hop culture, giving a bad name to Black and Latino people and encouraging ignorance on the airwaves.
Exploit and misuse Hip-Hop culture under the false pretense of doing good business, yet resurrecting nasty stereotypes about Hip-Hop music and culture.
Hire Black executives like Barry Mayo, who they use as a front, but who actually defends all actions listed above and the stereotypical caricatures that are heard daily on the airwaves.
Encourage their deejays to use the ‘N' word on the air.
Support their deejays to disrespect women so they can get ratings.
Give confidence to their on air personalities to stereotype under-represented communities like South East Asians and Asian Americans.
HOT 97 IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FOLLOWING OUTRAGEOUS, UNETHICAL, AND RACIST ACTIONS:

Feb 1999: Refused to talk about the murder of Amadou Diallo despite an outcry from the community
2001: Called J-Lo a “rice-and-bean-eater”
Aug 27 th 2001: Made a tasteless joke out of Aaliyah's death 2 days after the tragedy
Oct 2002: DJ Funkmaster Flex physically attacked disc jockey Steph Lova over payola.
2005: Called Russell Simmons a coon
Week of Jan 17 th 2005 : For four days, the Miss Jones In the Morning Show played a racist “parody” called “The Tsunami Song” despite public protests. They mocked the deaths of thousands of people, using racial slurs such as “ch*nk” and “chinamen.” The song also made fun of “Africans drowning” and children being sold to child slavery.
Jan 22ND 2005: Miss Info, a Korean-American co-host on the Miss Jones show, voiced her opposition to the song on air. Miss Jones and then co-host Todd Lynn reacted by verbally attacking her on public airwaves with hateful comments such as, “You feel superior, probably because you're Asian…” (Miss Jones) and “I'm gonna start shooting Asians” (Todd Lynn).

What does that have to do with their racist actions now?  Playing underground hip hop does not justify nor balance out repeated racism
