indian commission protests comments made on g105 radio show

Published Apr. 6, 2008

"The N.C. Commission of Indian Affairs demanded that the hosts and producer of a local morning radio show be fired for what the agency termed "racially charged comments" made on the air."

 

Here we go again.  Will these people ever realize that they are just giving more publicity to The Showgram?  Bob can say stupid things, but guess what, it's his 1st amendment right to do so.  He says things that most people would joke with their firends about.  Get over it already people.

If you go back far enough in time, we all probably have a mix of every race out there so none of us should be yelling discrimination.I agree with if you don't like what you here,turn a deaf ear to it.

Bob says something each and everday that someone could take offense at. I don't find that this was any worse that some of the others things that he had said....

I dont even listen to them anymore... meh.

Just an FYI for everyone: The Lumbee Bill is currently before the Senate Commission on Indian Affairs and as a condition of passing the U.S. House of Representatives, the Lumbee Nation has agreed not to pursue gambling as a tribal enterprise. Therefore, there will be no Lumbee casino. Furthermore, the N.C. Commission on Indian Affairs was created to address the needs of the 8 tribal nations located in N.C., one of which, the Lumbee, is the largest tribe east of the Mississippi and the ninth largest tribe in the nation.

I remember Bob saying that he did not find Asian women attractive at all! Did we hear anything fro them.NO.He should have said just how ugly they are as a whole.

I love Bob and the Showgram. I listened to them every morning before work - before my son was born. After he was born and the language wasn't appropriate anymore...guess what? I turned the station. If you don't like something on TV or the radio, turn it. I don't understand why people have trouble with this concept. I think the commission was just looking to get their names out there since most people didn't even know they existed. Leave Bob alone, he's a good guy regardless of the trouble his mouth gets him in sometimes.

What you and I say in our private lives is one thing but if you are working with the public and you say something offensive? You are going to answer to somebody. Do it enough times and make your company lose customers/profit and you're outta there.

They may have a right to talk trash about someone's culture, yes they are protected by the 1st amendment. But guess what...the people who are offended by this trash talking have just as much right to speak their mind as well.

When you speak your mind, sometimes there are consequences for what you say. The Showgram has to answer to their boss and advertisers. Now the Indian Commission is using that free speech by protesting what they allowed on the airwaves.

God, I love America!

Whine, whine, whine... now the Indians are starting to act like the white man. Whatever happened to tough? Is there a decent pair ANYWHERE?

oh my goodness! everyone...stop talking...if you don't, we may offend someone....hehe!! Please! Give me a break! If I filed a complaint every time someone said or did something that offended me, I would be too busy to do anything else! good grief, people just need to stop being so sensitive.

SO SOMEONE COMPLAINED, WHO CARES? IF SOMEONE GOT FIRED EVERYTIME SOME IDIOT COMPLAINED ABOUT SOMETHING IN THIS COUNTRY, NONE OF US WOULD EVER HAVE A JOB. GET OVER IT INDIAN MAN AND MOVE ON AND STOP THINKING YOU, OR ANYONE ELSE, BEING OFFENDED MATTERS. YOUR BEING OFFENDED DOES NOT TRUMP MY FREEDOM OF SPEECH. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO NOT BE OFFENDED. FREEDOM OF SPEECH INSTICTIVELY BRINGS PEOPLE BEING OFFENED, THANK GOD FOR THAT.
