But my alarm radio was set to their station this morning when it went off... then I heard the executive VP say that Bob and Kristen were suspended for racially insensitive remarks about indians.

What did they say?

4/9/2008 11:54:16 AM

I don't listen either.

But I will gladly laugh at their misery.

4/9/2008 11:55:17 AM

probably something about us taking their land

or the AIDS blankets we gave them

4/9/2008 11:55:33 AM

^^^ as will I. I stopped listening like 2 years ago when they did the "white house/black house segment" where bob would describe a house and then tell us if he thought a black person or white person lived there.


It was really bottom feeding and no where near funny, whatsoever.

the other guy is cool, i thnk he's a fatty but cool none the less.


Kristen is cool or so i thought, but you know how southern white women appear to be sincere when in fact they're as racist as their fathers

"Indian Commission Protests Comments Made on G105 Radio Show G105 Logo Posted: Apr. 5, 2008 Updated: Apr. 6, 2008 Raleigh, N.C. — The North Carolina Commission of Indian Affairs is demanding that the hosts and producer of a local morning radio show be fired for what the agency termed "racially charged comments" made on the air. The commission also called for the Federal Communications Commission to investigate WDCG-FM owner Clear Channel Communications Corp. The commission asked the FCC to examine the company's "history, tolerance, and promotion of this type of inflammatory and reprehensible programming." Commission chairman Paul Brooks said the statements "are further indicative of these individuals' insensitivity, gross ignorance and blatant bigotry against American Indians across this great nation." During G105 morning show last Tuesday, Bob Dumas and co-hosts kidded an intern about her pending marriage to a Lumbee Indian. Dumas jokes that Indians are "lazy" and that "a lot of Indians live on the reservation." Dumas also asked if the groom's grandfather would stand on the side of the road with "a single tear," a reference to a popular public service anti-litter advertisement in the 1970s. Co-host Mike Morse asked, "After you guys get married, are you going to have a tepee-warming party?" WDCG general manager Dick Harlow released a statement on the station's Web site on Friday afternoon. "WDCG apologizes to any listener that may have found remarks or recordings played Tuesday, April 1st, 2008, during 'Bob and the Showgram' to be offensive, derogatory or insensitive," the statement read. "WDCG does not condone inappropriate behavior, language or insensitive remarks." Gregory Richardson, executive director of the commission, called the apology a start, but he also said he doubted the apology would be sufficient for everyone. Richardson, who belongs to the Haliwa-Saponi tribe, said Friday that his office had been "absolutely bombarded" by e-mails and calls complaining about the comments. Recordings of the show have circulated this week by e-mail. "I've never encountered anything like that before," he said. "I thought we were beyond that. This is 2008. I think people should have more respect than to get involved in a discussion like that on the air." Dumas, who has been with WDCG for nearly 16 years, is no stranger to controversy. In 2004, a Durham minister started an online petition to oust Dumas for what the minister called "racially incendiary" comments about "American Idol" winner Fantasia Barrino, who is black. Dumas used the terms "ghetto" and "low class" during the show to describe Barrino. Five years ago, he drew the wrath of bicycling enthusiasts in the Research Triangle area for finding humor in motorists who assault cyclists or run them down with their vehicles."

I guess the Indian Commission is getting jealous of all the shit the NAACP has stirred up and the want in on it too. People will bitch and whine about anything. Whatever happened to free speech.

4/9/2008 12:20:25 PM

you mean you think the NAACP and the Indian Commission shouldn't be free to whine if they want to?

4/9/2008 12:22:12 PM

they're fucking annoying

i refuse to listen to them

4/9/2008 12:22:37 PM

whats funny is the other day they sent someone out to the mexican consulate or something like that wearing an INS shirt to talk to mexicans and they were joking and ranting about illegals and some lady called cursing at them in spanish and threatened to sue.

I would have thought they'd get suspended for that shit before this.

4/9/2008 12:25:30 PM

i don't listen to this show regularly. but sometimes i drive from raleigh to greensboro early in the morning and i listen to the show because its like more engaging than just music (so i don't fall asleep) and i listen (like once every few months) but EVERYTIME i've listened they've said something racist or sexist. i always sit there and think how whatever lawyers who work for the station or whatever must have their work cut out for them.


oh and i agree with ^ you'd think they would have gotten suspended before this (i guess that was my point) but you know the producers don't care and i'm sure bob etc don't care. the only reason they were even suspended is because there was so much public outcry and they couldn't just not punish them with all the attention that got drawn to it i guess. AND you know whenever they come back to work tons of people will call in being like "i love you guys i still listen to you you didn't do anything wrong" blah blah blah. didn't madison like leave that show because of bob?

interesting how they get suspended all the time.

they are basically trolling people into thinking any of it matters, so I agree with that above poster about this being a ploy.

and this is where i make my exit from paying these fucks any more attention

4/9/2008 12:27:03 PM

aaahhhh hahaha, fuck Bob and the Showgram

I absolutely cannot stand that radio show. Maybe they will be replaced by Lex and Terry

4/9/2008 12:28:30 PM

It's all about ratings. i think it's like the number 1 rated morning show or something like that.

4/9/2008 12:29:16 PM

yeah, because the indian commission is always starting up stuff....

its almost non-stop.


plus indians get so many advantages in life its really not right for them to complain.

4/9/2008 12:30:43 PM

it'd be best if they just got rid of all commercial morning radio programs

4/9/2008 12:30:52 PM

^^^^^all the time huh?


i've been listening to the show for about 12 years and i only know of 3 times they've been suspended...

the last one being when amy said "shit" on the air....

and that's been about 3 years ago

I tune in from time to time when 88.1 isnt interesting. When they have people call in....and the way these people talk makes it quite obvious who there target demographic is.

it doesn't seem that bad until right he starts ranting about lazy indians.

4/9/2008 12:57:27 PM

trust me i know several indians, and they weren't offended, according to my sources

4/9/2008 1:00:12 PM

ha, I was a member of the Native American group at NCSU and am apparently still on the mailing list. Here are some emails i got:

Quote :

"It has been brought to my attention that a program aired on G105 is racially charged and profiled against people of color. The program is heavily targeted against American Indian people, specifically the Lumbee, but also boast stereotypical negativity against Hispanics, African Americans, and Asians. I have listened to the podcast and am disturbed that hatred, profiling and continuos degrading of people exist. Take a couple of minute to listen to the podcast. You can find it at: http://www.bobandtheshowgram.com/showgram_ondemand.html (click on Tuesday, Segment 1). This negative broadcasting affects our students (they listen to these personalities), our faculty, our staff, our stakeholders - our COMMUNITY, in many ways. It would be idea if we collectively could come to some understanding on how to address this issue and champion an effort of change in ways that are beneficial and meaningful. This is definitely a prime opportunity to provide quality education on the American Indian population in the state as well as provide positive education on other racial groups that have been negated in this podcast. Here are a couple of themes and stereotypes I noted: 1. Indians are lazy. 2. All Indian get "money." I have been waiting on my Indian money for 35 years now! 3. All Indians live on reservations. If you don't, you are not a "real" Indian. (FACT: most Indians live in urban areas, period) 4. Lumbee Indians just received recognition. The Lumbee were recognized by the State of North Carolina in 1885, and recognized federally in 1956, with the Lumbee Act of 1956. However, that same legislation in essence terminated the Lumbee as a people (we are recognized as a tribe but without all the benefits of other Federally Recognized groups). 5. A tipi warming party? What is this? 6. Sitting Indian style (it is nice to know we "own" a particular way of sitting). 7. Inbreeds 8. Lumbee women (reference to former Miss North Carolina, Rebecca Revels and current Miss North Carolina, Jessica Jacobs - both Lumbee) 9. What does an Indian look like (discussion on our pigmentation, etc). You cannot look at a person and decipher Indianness. There is "drumming" in the background of this dialogue, too. Clearly this podcast is a mockery of Indian people and a threat. A threat to our civilization, to our identity and to our survival as Indian people. I warn you, the podcast has some strong language and should not be listened to around children. Likewise, it poses a threat to Latino, to African American, to Asian, to women and others who were belittled, degraded and made a mockery of during its broadcast. I am not happy. PERIOD! And, I hope you are offended by it too!"

Quote :

"G105 = If you have not heard, there is a press conference scheduled for 3pm on the grounds of the State Capitol (downtown) to address the racial comments and remarks that were made on April 1st, last Tuesday morning. On the website there is an apology listed as you access the Showgram segments page but I do not feel as if this is enough. Chairman Brooks, Chairman of the Commission of Indian Affairs, will be making a formal statement on behalf of all the Native populations, tribes,and organizations regarding this issue - YOUR attendance (if possible) is requested and welcomed! We need to show that this level of ignorance will not be tolerated or allowed in our midsts! I am trying to make arrangements for my own attendance but I will keep these efforts in my mind! Also, I will inform you all of anything else as they arise!"
