WESTCOTT vs. STERN


Letters to the NAACP and the UNCF

(as of February 27, 1998, these letters have gone unanswered for one year)

February 27, 1997

Mary Anne Lee, Deputy Director
N.A.A.C.P.
2990 E Grand Blvd
Detroit, MI 48202-3134

RE: Howard Stern and Westinghouse, racist radio

Dear Ms. Lee:

This letter is to inform you of the systematic racism directed against African-Americans as broadcast and created by Westinghouse during The Howard Stern Show.

Factually, many of Mr. Stern's broadcasters throughout the nation, have paid more than $1.7 million in federal indecency fines for their continual and repeated violation of federal indecency statutes, specifically, 18 USC, paragraph 1464, which deals with broadcasting indecent material to children. I am proud to say that the $1.7 million was as a result of my actions against Mr. Stern's broadcasters.

In addition to the federal indecency violations, I assisted the African-American Business Association in a multi-million dollar settlement with Mr. Stern's broadcasters as a result of his racist broadcasts.

The entire matter of Mr. Stern's indecency and racism is discussed at my Internet site located at: http://shell.idt.net/~westcot9/SternHomePage.html
The site features details of Mr. Stern's broadcast of the hate messages delivered by the Klu Klux Klan and his 'comedic' presentations of such things as "Nigger Hating Hats", "Guess My Color" and his racist remarks about many African-Americans, including Bill Cosby, O.J. Simpson and 'Magic' Johnson.

Mr. Stern and his program is produced, distributed and broadcast by Westinghouse Electric Company and it's Chairman, Michael H. Jordan. I urge the N.A.A.C.P. to speak out against Westinghouse's racist broadcasts and I trust I can count the N.A.A.C.P. in the growing number of organizations who are boycotting Mr. Stern's broadcasters, his advertisers and Westinghouse. Mr. Jordan is the same gentleman who sits as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the United Negro College Fund.

I have enclosed a sampling of Mr. Stern racist comments and ask the assistance of your membership in a letter writing campaign to Westinghouse CEO, Michael Jordan. I have also enclosed a copy of a letter I sent to the Directors of the United Negro College Fund. The letter is self explanatory.

I have much detailed information regarding Mr. Stern's and Westinghouse's racist programming. I believe that there may be several areas of litigation regarding what may be, Westinghouse legally actionable racist policies and I am willing to help your organization in any way possible to bring legal action against these broadcasters.

I await your response.

Sincerely,

United Negro College Fund
1444 I Street NW, Suite 500
Washington D.C. 20005

RE: Westinghouse's racism and the UNCF

Dear Ms. Yearwood:

This letter is to inform you of a rather delicate and most embarrassing matter involving two of the executives of the United Negro College Fund (UNCF). It is a matter regarding the systematic racism directed against African-Americans which is being produced, distributed, broadcast and disseminated, with impunity and extreme prejudice, by Westinghouse Electric Company via its nationally syndicated radio program, The Howard Stern Show.

As you know, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the United Negro College Fund is Michael H. Jordan. This is the same Michael H. Jordan who is the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Westinghouse. I find it equally incredulous that the President of UNCF, Mr. William Gray, also serves on the Board of Directors of Westinghouse.

I have reported Mr. Stern's racism, and Westinghouse's responsibility for the creation and dissemination of it, at my Internet site located at: http://shell.idt.net/~westcot9/SternHomePage.html
The site details and authenticates Mr. Stern's broadcast of the Klu Klux Klan hate messages and his 'comedic' presentations of such things as "Nigger Hating Hats", "Guess My Color" and his racist remarks about many African-Americans, including Bill Cosby, Michael Jordan (the athlete) and 'Magic' Johnson.

I have enclosed a sampling of Mr. Stern racist comments and I believe that most of the financial supporters of the UNCF would find it hard to believe that UNCF's Mssr.s Jordan and Gray are active participants in broadcasting this unquestionably racist material to more than 18,000,000, primarily Caucasian young men daily.

Although I am not an attorney, I believe that, just as the issue of Texaco's racism was legally actionable, by routinely broadcasting racist material, Westinghouse has, as did Texaco, created a hostile work environment for all of its African-American employees. Particularly since Mr. Stern's presentations are neither episodic or periodic but are a matter of routine modus operandi. I believe you would agree that Texaco's "black jelly beans" comments pale in comparison to Westinghouse's production and broadcast of Mr. Stern's portrayal of Bill Cosby, "When I get really horny, I go visit a white broad." "Which one of you white broads in the audience wants a high hard one?"

Suffice it to say that, until such time as the duopoly of Mr. Jordan's and Mr. Gray's involvement in both Westinghouse's racist broadcasts and the United Negro College Fund are clearly separated, I will not be sending any further contributions to UNCF and I will advise others to act accordingly. Lest anyone at the UNCF thinks otherwise, this is not a matter of the First Amendment. It is a matter of First Class Embarrassment.

Sincerely,

The Howard Stern Show

Stern: (In a voice imitating Bill Cosby)

"When I get really horny, I go visit a white broad"
"Which one of you white broads in the audience wants a high hard one?"

Segment Entitled: "Stump The Jokeman"

Caller: Hello, Howard, yeah I want to stump the jokeman.
Caller: What do you call a white guy surrounded by 10 niggers?

Stern: What do you call a white guy surrounded by 10 niggers? That's a terrible joke.

Jackie : Gorillas in the mist.


"What's My Color . . . The Game"
Two caucasian men and one African-American man come into Stern's radio studio.

Howard Stern, Robin Quivers and two members of Stern's
production staff are blindfolded and ask questions
to figure out which one is black.

A few of the questions asked by Stern and his crew:

"What kind of cigarettes do you smoke?"

"Can you swim?"

"When do welfare checks come?"


Howard Stern and the KKK

Here are a few comments from the many Klu Klux Klan messages
broadcast by Howard Stern.

"How much money will our Nigger lover Bill Clinton raise our taxes to try to
save these filthy aids carrying jungle savage Niggers . . .

Some Niggers around the country say they will boycott Georgia if the flag still flies,
but who cares where a Nigger boycotts,
who cares where they spend their food stamps and their welfare checks . . .

Most businesses would rather Niggers stay away anyhow . . .

Niggers cause flies to swarm anywhere they show up . . .

Now our Nigger loving President Bill Clinton
has the job of finding a new Supreme Court justice
and we all know he'll probably pick another Nigger,
this time he'll probably pick a female Nigger . . .

He might as well put a monkey on the high court because
they're about the same qualifications . . .

Niggers have destroyed most of our public schools already . . .

Niggers carry their dope to schools . . . Niggers carry guns to schools . . .

Niggers carry AIDS to school . . .

Niggers stink up the whole classroom . . .

no children want to go to school with these filthy yard apes . . .

Some scientists admit now that Niggers are still in the ape stage . . .

The Nigger and the Ape have the same hair . . .
they both have the same mellon shaped head . . .
they both have monkey lips . . .
they both have an animal smell . . .
and the Nigger and the monkey both have a small brain . . .
they both have large feet . . .
they both have long arms . . .
the Nigger and the monkey have the same color skin . . .

They are both wild savage jungle animals . . .
female Niggers have even been known to successfully
breed with apes and produce little porch monkeys . .


The Howard Stern Show
Presents

"Nigger Hating Hats"

A news report about a western music performer
led to Mr. Stern's 'satirical' discussion of western hats
and the people that wear them.

Stern's feeling is that anyone who wears a western hat,
as Stern says, "hates niggers".

Eventually, "Nigger Hating Hats" became a "Howard Stern Song Parody".

It is played repeatedly on Stern's program and available on CD!


"Where's my big Nigger hating hat?"
"I never met a Nigger I didn't hate"
"Stomp on their Nigger faces"
"We got our Nigger hatin' hats on"
"How many people here hate Niggers"
"I happen to have here, a big Nigger hating hat"
"I got your Nigger hating hat for you"
"I just hung a Nigger in the yard"
"I'm whittling a big Nigger hating knife"
"There ain't supposed to be no Niggers in Beverly Hills"
