CBS Radio Suspends 2 For Racial Prank.

This article in CBS News, Entertainment caught my attention and I wanted to briefly go into it a bit this morning.

A duo from a morning drive-time radio show made a prank call to a Chinese restaurant, using racial slurs and insults; they were subsequently suspended indefinitely without pay.

It will be apparent for some time to come that radio management will be keeping a close eye on all of their on-air personalities, insuring they do not cross the racial insult line. I do agree that it is about time something is done to insure this practice is no longer permitted on some of the radio shows.

However, the same radio groups own more than one broadcast channel dealing in other forms besides talk show format, they also own channels broadcasting various forms of music, from the 1950's oldies format to today's rap music by the hottest artists.

The rap music industry is responsible for more insults than any other venue. The artists and songwriters kick out music charged with racial insults, bigotry, insults to women everywhere as well as openly discussing killing people, including law enforcement.

This is one of the true culprits of racial insults and what is even worse, our youth idolize the artists, mimicking their music and attempting to live their lives as gangsters, even if they have never stepped into a hood other then one surrounded by picket fences, weekly trash collection and low crime rates.

The rap artist have power over the youth, they know this and use it any chance they get. The industry needs to start here; clean this portion of the industry and other will follow.
