As you may have heard, Hot97 DJ Cipha Sounds cracked a joke about Haitian women on Friday, pissing off the entire country, and so he was suspended. After logging in thousands of hours on the air, it’s amazing how a few bad seconds can fuck all that up. Listen to just how fast it was.
Messed up but a slip up. So many major radio personalities have done this. He's more guilty of bad jokes than being anti haitian. Sounded like he was making a "i don't use condoms joke" and trying to tie that in to the spread of aids in haiti (bad idea) but to protest is crazy, i guess everything is cool in haiti since these people have all this time to sit outside of radio stations when someone says something stupid.
he's just stating his sexual preference.
When the existence of AIDS was first being recognized, around the same time it stopped being called GRID (Gay Related Immune Deficiency), there were some people who believed it originated in Haiti. Haitians were then stigmatized. This dumb ass missed the memo because that’s not the consensus now. Meaning his joke was definitely ignorant. Did he deserve to lose his job? I don’t think so, but dude should have known better. It’s funny though, cus all the people that stand up and express their outrage at shit like this offend me; maybe I should hold a press conference.
