http://sacvuittonfrance.webs.com/Black people everywhere,sac chanel, who have never even heard of the “The John Ken Show” on KFI AM 640,Chaussures Louis Vuitton, are in an uproar about the two white men,lunettes chanel, John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou,chanel pas cher, who called Ms,chanel sacs. Houston a “crack ho” on air and made other derogatory remarks,sac chanel. Now there’s even talk in Los Angeles about a day of protest against the show and station,chanel pas cher.
The men said that the star who struggled with drugs was “cracked out for 20 years,Louis Vuitton Pas Cher,” and remarking on her death they wondered: “Really,Lunettes Louis Vuitton, it took this long,chanel 2013?”
As a black woman who listens to the conservative KFI religiously Monday through Friday,Chaussures Louis Vuitton, and who is not one of the millions of people mourning the death of Houston,sac chanel pas cher, even I had to do a double take when I heard this slip of the tongue live last week,sac chanel. I remember thinking,Louis Vuitton Pas Cher, did they really just say that,Chaussures Louis Vuitton?
Coming off of the Don Imus 2007 controversy and his on-air “nappy-headed hos” comment about Rutgers women’s basketball players,Lunettes Louis Vuitton, the suspension of John and Ken wasn’t that much of a surprise,Louis Vuitton Pas Cher. We’ve been there and done that,sac chanel pas cher.
For the record,boutique chanel, white people calling black women derogatory names is nothing new,sac chanel pas cher. And even though I listen to The John Ken Show,Lunettes Louis Vuitton, as a black woman, at the end of the day I know exactly where I stand with them and what they think about black people.
Are their comments enough to justify national outrage from blacks? Maybe.
However, I’d argue that before a single finger is pointed at John or Ken, most black people need a quick reality check.
While the word “ho” was seldom used on KFI, the same can’t be said for black America where the word is in heavy rotation on a daily basis. From the barely bleeped-out lyrics that we listen to on the radio,Whitney Houston ‘crack ho’ slur on LA radio, the videos we watch on television, and how we speak to and about each other – there’s not a day that goes by where I don’t hear this word. And it’s usually coming out of the mouth of another black person.
ANOTHER VIEW: Hip-hop’s bad rap
Just one scan of the most requested songs on Los Angeles hip-hop radio station Power 106 proves my point. The 2012 Best New Artist Grammy nominee J. Cole’s “Work Out,” features the lyrics, “She bad and she know it. Some niggas save hos, I’m not that heroic.” Nice.
Add to that, this year’s Best Rap Album Grammy nominees Jay-Z and Kanye West and their “Niggas in Paris,” which, if you can get past the title, uses the word “bitch” four times. It is topped by Tyga’s “Rack City” which manages to use that word 22 times in a little over three minutes and says, “All the hos love me you know what it is.”http://sacvuitton2013.webs.com/
