It's about activisim. This blog is to stop racism and to stop the Jersey Guys from having their own radio show to spew racism and bigotry. The intent is simple, we want them fired. We're going after their advertisers, we're going after 101.5, we're going after the holding company (Millennium Radio New Jersey). If you support this movement, take action. Learn about the issue...

Update

Well I'm finally done with school (forever) so I can work on this site again. Thanks to everyone who emailed about the stuff they've found, that information has now been posted.

-Where's the list of sponsors?
Just my 2cents about the 'activist movement,' we're not going to get anywhere by sending emails of outrage. Sure we've gotten people aware but apologies are easy to make. The Asian-American community needs to make it clear that it won't be pushed around by two radio idiots. The issue is about putting financial pressure against all the programs on 101.5, "The Jersey Guys," and the advertisers. It should NOT be limited to demanding apologies. We need to target advertisers to 101.5 and tell them that they are catering to a program that spews hate. We need to mobilize a boycott of local businesses that advertise on Jersey 101.5. Where's the threat for 101.5? They need to fear what we are doing and it starts with the dollar. Anyone in Jersey want to help out with that?

Also, the site has now moved to http://jersey101.blogspot.com/ for easier updates, rss feeds, and for blogging power. Old site is out like the Nets. Please link here.

To celebrate the launch of this site, some fun stuff:

Here is a copy of the letter of protest I sent to the CEO & President of Bank of America, Kenneth D. Lewis. You'll also find this on my blog:

http://ceaseracism.blogspot.com/

RE: Your sponsoring of racially intolerant radio programming on New Jersey 101.5 FM (Carton & Rossi, “the Jersey guys”)

Dear Mr. Lewis:

I was recently shocked to learn that Bank of America sponsors radio programming that is racially intolerant. On April 25, “shock jocks” Craig Carton and Ray Rossi of New Jersey 101.5 FM ridiculed Asian-Americans on the air and called them “damn Orientals.” Bank of America ads are aired during the Carton & Rossi show and I am wondering why you financially support such programming. Asian-Americans are, after all, an increasingly important market segment for you, and your business is growing in Asia.

Mr. Lewis, on the Bank of America Web site you are quoted as saying you are in business “to help make communities stronger.” You also say you reach “for higher standards in everything we do.” Do these standards include the type of radio programming you support? For Carton & Rossi’s show on 101.5 FM does not make our community stronger. Their comments are intolerant and divisive.

Please stop funding the Carton & Rossi show. New Jersey doesn’t need such offensive radio broadcasts. Just like Bank of America, we want to make this community a better place to live, for everyone.

Sincerely,
Lester Gesteland

A more complete list of sponsors of NJ 101.5 FM's racist show
I listened to New Jersey 101.5 FM's Carton & Rossi show again today to (a) make sure no Hyundai ads came on (I was asked to do this by Kai Yu, Director of Asian Media Watch) and (b) to see what other companies are sponsoring the show. I am happy to report that no Hyundai ads came on. There were also no ads for Cingular Wireless, a company that told Asian Media Watch and the Star-Ledger newspaper that they had ceased sponsoring the show.

For those visiting this blog for the first time, let me fill you in. On April 25, the "shock jocks" mentioned above ridiculed Asians and called them "damn Orientals." (To see a transcript of their remarks, please scroll down to the first blog I posted.) I am now working in concert with Asian Media Watch to contact sponsors of this show and ask them to pull their ads. We want Carton & Rossi off the air.

The following is a list of more advertisers airing commercials during their show:

Sam's Club
