Add THAT to your list of things that will NEVER happen.
Once again, everybody is trying to paint me as a racist and that is the farthest thing from my nature. I am the one all over social media a couple of years ago saying Dancing with the Stars was rigged to give a white woman a victory instead of a black girl. I am the one on record all over social media including black girls as some of the hottest around. I am the one who let a Mexican girl live in my home for half a year while she got established in a new town.
I will also say I am racist at some level. So are you - there are certain areas of town I will not go late at night. You won't either - if you have any intelligence. That is racist, I freely admit. So you are you if you are honest. You know what I am talking about. Are you willing to travel to Furgeson if you are a white person and walk around at night? I didn't think so. You aren't stupid. But that is racist. We are all racist at some level.
Since we are all racist at some level - I think the intelligent way to be racist is to be racist against certain attitudes, certain behaviors, and certain destructive cultural norms and NOT be racist against skin color. If I hear racist things on the radio, I turn the channel. If I see a lazy unproductive individual who could otherwise work, but prefers to be on the government dole, I - as a taxpayer - am racist against that behavior, not caring if that individual is white, brown, yellow, red, or black. They are a lazy bum undeserving of any handout.
I, for one, have been characterized on here with the bigoted derogatory term "fanboy" to which I objected. The person(s) doing so did so with impunity. Because I am intelligent person, I refuse to respond to an individual of any race, belief, or personal taste with derogatory bigoted terms meant to insult them and hurt their feelings. That is not the behavior of an intelligent professional.
If you want to talk about racism, lets do so in the context of radio, which is what this forum is about. All format decisions are inherently racist, because you select to reach - or not to reach - a given audience. When I programmed at WAPN, I consciously made a decision to reach the spring breakers frequenting Daytona Beach with music that closely matched the top 40 at the time, but had a more positive, Christian message. I freely admit I had no regard whatsoever for what satanists, atheists, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists and the rest of the religious spectrum wanted. So the show was racist and prejudiced in the Christian direction. I make no apologies for that. It was a Christian station - I was no more or less Christian than any other programmer on the station. When a local station decides to program in Spanish - it does so at the expense of being bigoted against the English speaking population. It has decided to exclude them - an inherently racist act. Same with Rush Limbaugh - who excludes liberals. So is the hip-hop station, which doesn't care whether whites listen or not - and outside of a trendy group of young people whites do NOT. Anybody can listen to these format choices, but they have all made a conscious effort to reach one group and exclude others, so they are racist or bigoted at some level.
We need to get over the "victim" and "fairness" mentality, realize life is NOT fair, there are always going to be victims, there will always be some sort of prejudice and bigotry, and move on.
