Sirius Satellite Radio Show Petitions WWE Storyline
The following was sent out today:

THE WWE ATTACKS AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THEIR LATEST STORYLINE!


From Kamala, the African savage, to Muhammad Hassan, the Arab terrorist, the WWE is no stranger to blatant racism. Their favorite whipping boy, African Americans, fall victim to their newest stunt, CRYME TIME and The After Hours Spot Radio Show is taking a stand!

The After Hours Spot, a national radio show heard on Sirius Satellite Radio, Monday – Friday 8p- 12noon EST, Hip Hop Nation, co-hosted by Sgt. Reginald Hawkins, Orlando Quinones, Renada Romain, and Andy Dee, caused pandemonium across America when they exposed the WWE’s latest racist wrestling characters that parodies black racial stereotypes “in an effort to entertain all ethnic derivations,” www.wwe.com/shows/raw. According to the WWE, The afro picking, grillz’ wearing CRYME TIME tag team, are “two highly trained professional criminals” who rob stores in an attempt to work on their speed. Each week CRYME TIME will engage in new criminalistic activity.

The After Hours Spot radio show is petitioning to put an end to the WWE’s long history of racial injustice, by calling on the help of political activists and elected officials. All supporters of AHS can sign the “Stop Cryme Time and Racism in the WWE” petition at http://www.PetitionOnline.com/ahsradio/petition.html

or call Orlando Quinones toll free at (866) 744-0668 for more information.

“The WWE will no longer entertain all ethnic derivations at the expense of African Americans or any other race.” -AHS

I feel as though a lot of posters, who have been here a while, resent you for being a new cornerstone of this place. I think when that whole thing was brewing the ball was in your court to bite, and it would have escalated very quickly if you did. You didn't though, because you probably just don't care about that shit, which is awesome.

I think I'm going to start a petition for stopping them from using Cena as a way of belittling whites AND blacks.

It's impossible to be racist towards whitey. Those honky crackers are immune from racist comments.

God forbid we introduce stereotypes to the general public on a nationally televised wrestling program.

But I suppose it's alright to have middle eastern terrorists destroying the world on shows like 24. ...and it's ok to embrace 'african american' stereotypes on movies like 'Crash' and comedy acts from Chris Rock or Dave Chappelle.

I haven't see Cryme Tyme, but are Shad Gaspard and The Neighborhoodie ready for the big time? I think it would be great if they were going to make their debut, but a screen pops up that says "Shad Gaspard and JGT were arrested earlier this morning, and will be incarcerated for 6 months to a year". Let them use that time for training.

Anyway, this is pretty stupid. Unless the people launching the petition are black, and the people signing it are black. If Gaspard and Hoodie have a problem with it, stop it, but if not, let them go. It's going to get them over.

To be fair, Booker is champ of the B-Show at a period where everyone worth a fuck is on drugs or dead.

That said, I agree, but still.

It seems that race is a driving force still today. We may try to deny it or hide it as much as possible, but the sad truth is that race play a key role in American Society. As the musical Avenue Q proclaims, "Everyone's a little bit racist..." However where is racism more of a problem, in real-life, or the media circles that constantly spin the story.

Recently a show on Sirius Satellite Radio, The After Hours Spot, took offense to World Wrestling Entertainment's new RAW Brand tag-team, Cryme Tyme. You can read the story on the grievance here. After Hours Spot takes a shot at the WWE as using racism for cheap heat. An effort to get a worker over with fans the easiest way possible. Who is more responsible for using the race card as blatant self-promotion though, the WWE or The After Hours Spot?

Personally, I have never heard of The After Hours Spot. I have listened to Sirius, and I am quite in tune with the goings on in the world of the media, yet I had never heard mention of"The After Hours Spot" before today. WWE on the other hand is a house-hold name, not just here in the U.S., but across the globe. I guess if you're gonna take a shot at someone, why not go for one of the biggest in the world.

WWE does often leave themselves open to shots from the media, and negative press. And there is no denying the fact that many of the things done on WWE television are distasteful, however racism is not something that I believe the wrestling conglomerate is guilty of. A quick look at the WWE SmackDown! Roster will tell you this. King Booker (formerly Booker T) is the World Champion, and Bobby Lashley is one of the brand's biggest stars, both of which are black men. There have been a plethora of greats from all over the planet in every culture that have made themselves a name in WWE; Yokozuna, Booker T, The Rock, Farooq, Mark Henry, Bobby Lashley, Junk Yard Dog, and Eddie Gurrero just to name a few. So it is not a question of WWE using race as the sole motivator for "pushing" a wrestler.

Then why would WWE put a black tag team in vignettes that show them stealing, and mugging people? The answer is simple, entertainment. The WWE has long based storylines on the society at the time. WWE does not make all Asian wrestlers come to the ring in samurai battle garb, not all Hispanics come walk down the aisle with eating a fish taco to the tune of "The Mexican Hat Dance," and not all white wrestlers enter the curtain in a pickup truck while swilling beer. However, there are some instances where these things have happened, just as there are some instances where this happens in real life.

I could have spent this time complaining on the racial profiling that WWE is guilty of against white people with wrestlers the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Irwin R. Schister, and the current tag-team of Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch, but I did not for the simple reason that it entertaining. Its a simple matter of art imitating life.

So again I ask, who is more guilty of using the race card as a means of peddling their wares, The After Hours Spot or The WWE? Perhaps the crew of the after hours spot should focus on new, creative ways to put their show over, and not rely on the cheap heat that is racism.

That's my two-cents on this.

Yeah, because so many of them were free of ethnic stereotypes.

Tokozuna: Wasn't he a Sumo Wrestler or something?
Farooq: Nation of Domination
Booker T: If he hasn't been a ghetto stereotype in his life, I don't know what the fuck he was. Harlem Heat alone...
The Rock: Nation of Domination again.
Mark Henry: Nation of Domination, Sexual Chocolate, etc.
Lashley's clean so far.
Junk Yard Dog: Where do I even Start there?
Eddie: Ummmm...Yeah. During his title reign, he was a walking stereotype. He celebrated his life as being a thief from a family of border jumpers, etc.

Yeah.

And while it's worth noting that I'm not complaining (Hell, Eddie's reign was bordering on racist, but it was FUNNY), it's really hard to look at your list and pretend that these guys weren't part of the racial prejudice inherent in WWF/E.

Almost everyone on that list has essentially gotten a racial push.

Racism exists in wrestling, because wrestling historically involves stereotypes, HEAVILY, and these are racial stereotypes. It's racism. Racism happens. Keep watching, or don't. But let's be honest to ourselves.

Yeah, I'll go the alternate route in rolling up the flag of racism: Cryme Tyme, compared to other racist gimmicks, isn't THAT bad. There's been much more racist things happening...where were these jerkoffs then? Hell, where's the cavalry to fight for Irish rights and end the Finlay shtick? He's got a leprechaun, for Christ's sake. There's worse shit to be crying about. It's pretty clear this is for attention, and not a legitimate desire for an end to racism on one particular show at a point when it's not that really that big anyway.



CRYME TYME IS TOO RACIST. Fuck everything else though, right?

Fuck it. Maybe they made this INTENTIONALLY racist to get some extra pub, and maybe some new viewers.

if they are forced to drop them A la Hassan, what does vince care? They are just a couple of Black minor league workers, and he might make some money off it.
