Radio-Canada Jokes About Obama Assassination

May 27th, 2009

A Canadian group that monitors radio broadcast standards described a supposedly comedic skit about assassinating President Obama a “disturbing, wounding, abusive racial comment.” In a public chastisement of the French-language Radio-Canada Monday, the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council said the on-air skit, which included the line that Obama would be easy to kill because he stands out against the White House, was far from funny.

OMG!!! you know…this is getting childish now. when is society going to take resposibility for the things they do!!! why is it that everything we do from listening to the radio to watching tv….how does any of that “make” someone do something.
true, what this radio station did, the skit itself, was not funny in the least bit. the assasination of anyone is nothing to joke about, let alone the assasination of the president of the USA. however, just because people create a skit on the subject, now their license could be revoked next year?
what most people fail to regret is that we are playing in the hands of the govn’t. someone says something others don’t like and right away that person has to apoligize or something is going to happen???
the govn’t is taking our rights as a people away…and we are playing into their hands.
well i won’t….not this mescan!! say what you want….think what you want….that is what AMERICA is all about. just because i don’t like it…don’t mean that someone else can’t say or do it.

I think when people feel that they can say such things that they are trying to find something in themselves to love and if they do not they will continue to be ignorant to the fact that it’s not the color of his skin that should matter but the work of his labor.

Sorry, Daniel but you gave yourself away when you said “not his mescan”. I believe you meant Mexican, which implies you aren’t American-born and never had to endure the hardships and pain because of the ignorance of others. If you and your ancestors were forced to endure this type of behavior, and worst, for centuries, you would not consider it “childish” when someone is finally stepping up to the plate to put a stop to it! I don’t care if this is America or whatever country, people should be respectful of others and their accomplishments!!! Time is long past that one say and do anything they feel like based on race or religion. Unfortunately, people such as yourself, who are benefiting from the struggles and hardships of a race of people who has been downtrodden for centuries, fail to understand that “freedom of speech” is not a given right to be STUPID!! Finally, since you are “Mescan”, I’m sure you don’t even vote, so why do you feel you have a right to even speak on what the government is or is not doing?!!

What is strange about those remarks is that people of color are stereotyped for stealing yet no one says anything about the biggest thieves in history, Mr. Whitey himself.

How do you come to a land that is already inhabited, and kill off thousands of native Indians, leave the 21 that’s left and put them on reservations in their own land, bring human beings over here from their homeland and enslave them, break up their families,hang them from trees, basically take away all of their humanity and then give “Them” the reputation of being less than honest.

Its amazing what a little brainwashing can do!

VICTORY!!!!

Why is it that stupid whites think that it’s ok too belittle AA’s, it is not. AA’s are very sensitive when it comes too racism, people always tryna shush us when whites feel they want to joke. Until you people understand the harshness of your racism towards AA’s we will always be on the defensive side. So lighten up bottomfeeders.

no, i’m sorry BROWNSUGAR…i was born and raised in this great county of ours…and as i’m sure you did, i also voted for a change. but unlike yourself, i don’t blame society or what others do for my actions…which was my ONLY point in my post. the individuals, who reside in CANADA (is sure you didn’t read the article being that your were referencing AMERICAN rights), are going to be persecuted for voicing their opinion. true, their opinion is not favorable…whoever most opinions aren’t…which is why it’s called an OPINION.
and apparently you only seem to know your own history…so let me set you str8. most of this great land that we call America was MY PEOPLES land. this was a part of Mexico and was taken from MY PEOPLE…so like your ancestors….we have been robbed, beaten, and taken advantage of for hundreds of years as well. you might want to broden your horizons before assuming you know it all….
and no MS. I KNOW WHAT OTHERS REALLY MEAN…i put mescan cuz that’s what i meant. please refrain from putting words in my mouth.
