    Radio Show Host Fired In NY

    I am appalled. Disgusted. Annoyed. Speechless.

    NEW YORK —



    The co-host of a syndicated morning radio show was fired Wednesday for making racial and sexual remarks on the air about a rival's wife and 4-year-old daughter.

    Troi Torain, known as Star on the "Star & Buc Wild Morning Show" on Power 105 FM, lost his job after protests by a City Council member and other elected officials.

    His remarks about DJ Envy, a DJ for rival hip-hop station Hot 97, and his family included "I will come for your kids" and a desire to "do an R. Kelly ... on your little baby girl."

    Videotapes in 2002 showed a man resembling singer R. Kelly having sex with someone who appeared to be an underage girl, then urinating on her.

    Torain's comments, made between May 3 and Monday, also included an offer of $500 to any listener who could provide information about the rival DJ's daughter's school, and used racial slurs when talking about his wife, who is part Asian.

    Torain, through his manager, Wyatt Cheek, declined to comment.

    Councilman John Liu and DJ Envy's wife, Gia Casey, appeared at City Hall on Wednesday to denounce Torain's remarks.

    "He threatened to molest my little baby girl," Casey said.

    The station's owner, Clear Channel, said it found Torain's statements "wholly unacceptable."

    The show airs in markets including Philadelphia, Miami and Richmond, Va. Clear Channel is a unit of Clear Channel Communications Inc.

        They were made against another radio show DJ's wife and daughter. Apparently, according to the story above, are "part Asian".

            I bet the DJs aren't white. Notice how the news story went out of the way not to reveal the ethnicity of the DJs. If he were white, I bet this story would have been all over national news and all the race peddlers would decend on the scene like flies onto shiit.

              Tina: Thank you. I am from India.

              Star: Okay. So my call is being outsourced to India.

              Tina: That’s right.

              Star: In… in regards to my six year old, white American daughter who wants to get the quick beads like Serena and Venus Williams.

              Tina: Now. I’ll definitely place an order for that.

              See…

              Star: What’s that?

              Tina: …in the ad, she called to place a Quick Bead of Conair. To ensure proper handling…

              Star: Ma’am, I don’t know what the hell you’re saying.

              Hang on a second. Let me try and get something straight here. The quick beads, like Venus and Serena Williams, that to advertise to — to the white kids on television. This call has been outsourced to India?

              Tina: That’s right.

              Star: Well, ma’am, what the F*** would you know about an American white girl’s — uh, uh — hair? And quick beads.

              Tina: Just to inform you, ma’am, we’re a national chain services company. And we’re just taking calls on the opposite…

              Star: Listen, *****! Don’t get slick with the mouth!

              Don’t you get slick with me, *****!

              Tina: Now if you continue to speak this language, I will disconnect the call.

                            Hmmmm. I had not thought of that. I assumed the DJ was white, but who knows.

                            (EDIT: I am going to change my mind and say that I now aqssume the DJ is black based on the kind of radion station it is:Radio Station Website)

                            In any case, anyone who makes pedophile-like comments about someone else's toddler child (or pre-teen child, or teen child for that matter) needs help.
