Besides, shouldn't they change their name to NAAPoC? The other is clearly offensive...

"Sammy" is a demeaning term used by Limeys when speaking of Indians - not the native American sort.

"Sammy" and/or "Skinny" were (are?) also slang for indigenous Somalians.

"Mojo Nixon is as off the wall as they come and PC be damned...."

I get a kick out of that song he's got:

'You Can Dress 'em Up, But you Can't Take 'em Out' HO!

"Simply saying "clean darkly" and he gets suspended?"

He can make up with the NAACP without saying anything. Just spin:

2 LIVE CREW - 'Me So Horny'

Those are 'dirty' Black dudes and women. Let's see how those old NAACPers get worked up about that one:)

How dishonest has this society become? It's obvious from context that Allread was sarcastically projecting his idea of Biden's thoughts, not his own. This is presumptuous, that is what DJs do, but it is not bigoted.

I absolutely agree. Eventually, we will lack the vocabulary to make a strong point.

I thought for sure this was going to be about "Sergeant Sam" on that other station.

I think ya'll may have missed the point here. Sammy - Sam Allred was the one who got the timeout. He and DJ Bob Cole were discussing the Biden remark about B. Obama being a clean and articulate black candidate.

Sammy used the phrase "Clean Darky" and Bob Cole chastised him with the word "SAMMY" as a way of fussing at him for his comment. That is not the first time Bob has had to chastise Sammy. He gets obnoxious so often, I quit listening to them.

He said 'darky'. Slang for negro from long ago.

I once heard my own father use this word, back in the 1960's. Even then it seemed to be unearthed from the distant past.

I think he is still trying to recover from upsetting the (then) Hispanic mayor. :)

"That kind of ignorance has no place in this country in 2007," Nelson Linder of the NAACP told KXAN TV. "When a black man runs for president, we ought to be proud of that."

Which is why the NAACP was soundly behind Alan Keyes when he ran for president.

Huh?...They what?...

oh.

nevermind.
