Is Howard Stern Racist?

[Junior]

I work in shipping and receiving and am forced to interact with white people. A lot of the white truck drivers have satellite radio in their trucks and I always hear them listening to Howard Stern. I heard he is racist but am not sure. If he is racist, does that make these people I work with racist as well?

I would catch an episode or two of his TV show back a few years ago, and he strikes me as an equal opportunity basher....he get's on everyone. The TV shows was basically a taping of the studio during the radio show production.

His right hand woman on the show is Black...and she would stick up for minorities and women, for the most part. She's been with him for years too.

first let me introduce myself. i'm afrocentric and welcome to afro chat.

now back to your question. i don't listen to him but i have heard bits and pieces about him saying some slick sexist stuff to people who's dumb enough to come on his show for the little 15 min. fame.

I am not so sure. I think he is racist. I was looking around youtube earlier and saw a lot of offensive videos. He apparently has a guy on from time to time from the kkk named Daniel Carver. 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.

I would normally care less but like I said, I have to hear this stuff everyday while at work. I know for a fact I work with racists but it might be worse that I thought.

He's not racist. He's an equal opportunity offender. Just like Imus....people think Imus is racist, but he's not. They only think so, because of what happened with Rutgers. Some of the worst things he's said weren't about black people. These are just shock jocks.......

During an on-air conversation with sports announcer Warner Wolf about the player's arrest record, Imus asked, 'What color is he?'
Told by Wolf that Jones is 'African-American,' Imus responded: 'There you go. Now we know."

what does that sound like to you?

Sounds like typical Imus. And this still doesn't even rank anywhere near any of the worst things he's said. They are shock jocks........its what they do. i don't listen, but those who do, know what to expect.

I have to agree on Imus. Complete racist. Just look at the guy. LOL. For those of you who don't think Howard Stern is, I insist you watch these youtube clips I found.

I am done with my work week, thank God and I think I just might quit next week and find a more suitable workplace.

YouTube - Daniel Carver & Mark Harris
YouTube - HOWARD STERN-GUESS WHOS THE JEW1992)
YouTube - Marge Schott I w/ Billy West

There are many more like this but this is more than enough for me. There is nothing worse than hearing racist jokes while at work and being the only black man around!

I dont know if i have the proof to call him a racist but he will definitely talk about offend, degrade, any woman or minority group for better ratings. Hold on isnt that a racist?
