Jimmy’s E-mail to The N.A.A.C.P.
Jim Swanson May 7th, 2007 - 8:35 amTo whom it may concern:
As a semi-retired broadcaster of over 20 years, I am appalled at the recent Rush Limbaugh Show song “Barack The Magic Negro”.
Although I am a white Democrat, this email of protest is not politically motivated.
I fully support and encourage diversity in communities and am strongly against ANY form of racism. It is simply disgusting. We, as human beings, have an obligation to work together for fairness and equality among all of us: Black, White, Hispanic,Asian.
Mr. Limbaugh’s racial parody is inexcusable and a full scale apology is in high order to all Americans and The World.
Is this how we want our youth, the future of America, to see how their parents and grandparents set this kind of example? I think not.
I am also calling and emailing Premiere Radio Networks in both California and New York to voice my extreme displeasure and disgust and what is passing for entertainment from a racist such as Mr. Limbaugh.
I strongly suggest the NAACP and other organizations not only protest, but call for the firing of Limbaugh!
Respectfully yours,
Jim Swanson
