I'm black, and have listened to Howard Stern daily for over 3 years.

One can go back and forth all day debating rather or not Stern is racist. You're going to have to define racist before I can answer that question, but generally speaking, I'd say no. As long as you think it's funny, who cares if he or members on his staff may be racist. Is Dave Chappelle racist? Who cares; it's funny. Actually, the two members that are probably the most racist (Sal and Artie) are the most entertaining for me.

He has characters like Daniel Carver on the show because they are idiots and fun to goof on.

The bigger question is, are the majority of his fans racist. That's a definite yes. As a group, they are low class, uneducated, racist, closed-minded morons. Go poke around sternfannetwork.com to see what I mean. Beware. Reading that forum will definitely give you a headache. Not the flat out racism, but the unintellectual, one word, one sentence posts, replies and subject lines that offer little or no value.

The following thread (how I found this forum), is a good example of what I'm talking about.

I would post what I found but I dont want to offend anyone. I think he has Robin on just so he can get away with the things he says.

He brings them KKK people on so we can all LAUGH at them. He lets them say their crazy talk because it's so crazy most people can't believe they saying it and laugh at it. Those KKK dudes are on there because Howard is making fun of them and letting us make fun of them too.

Sooooo racism is funny when they are talking about threatening peoples life's?

Regardless of them saying crazy or not the fact remains that you are bring those type of people on your show basically advertising for them.

No question your right about that. Some people like to laugh at those dudes, but its not wrong to say that justbringing them on is a bad idea even if your only going to laugh at that. After all, it still lets them get their message out.

Exactly, their numbers are still growing and fools are still thinking what they say is righteous. Humor is always a tricky thing

I don't know if he's a racist, but he is a fool... just thank god that your co-workers don't listen to the pill popping gas bag bigot, rush limbaugh. I can't stand the sound of his voice.

Basically, plus he is boring. I do not care if he is racist, the man is simply not entertaining.
