“Howard Stern contributors Sal and Richard travel to Harlem to interview Obama supporters and ask them why they are voting for Obama. They did this back in 2008, now let's see what happens when they do it again in 2012!”
Thanks to the old buddy who forwarded this to me.
Note that even Howard Stern covers his you know what, by emphasizing that there are lots of white dummies, too.
I have to admit to being a huge Howard Stern fan, he's the only public figure I know that has been brutally honest about the racist abuse he endured from black kids when he was in high school. He attended Rossevelt HS which was almost virtually all black, except for him and a couple other kids. He's talked about it often and describes how administrators ignored the racist violence perpetrated against white kid like him. Yes, he still bows to many PC constraints but he's the closest you're going to get to any real discussion of race issues in the mainstream media. Jerry
ReplyDeleteHere are a couple of Youtube videos where Howard talks in detaiol about his experience of being the lone white holdout in an all black neighborhood.

As a longtime Stern listener I know Howard has conducted many interviews in black neighborhoods similar to this one. What I love about him is he doesn't edit or change anything, any other media source will manipulate the interviews to make black people appear to be more thoughtful and intelligent, Howard puts it out there like it is. He will comment on it but never in a way that could get him in trouble. It's a credit to his skill and intelligence that he's never gotten into the kind of mess that Imus got himself into. The reason why is, despite his ample us of the N word and racial humour, he never makes race jokes out of the context of satire. In 30 years on the air he's never once screwed up. Considering the legions PC race nazis that having been waiting for decades for him to mess up it's amazing it's never happened. You may not like everything Howard does but some real truths about race are revealed through his sly use of humor.
