Is It For Lack Of Listeners Or Too Many Racist Listeners!
At a time when the world-wide Sikh community was mourning the massacre of innocent Sikhs at a US Gurdwara – rightwing local radio station CKNW was busy giving RACISTS free airtime to vent against Sikhs for looking out of place and basically saying well you won’t get killed if you look more like us and throw away your turbans. What Fu….g NONSENSE! Who are the Bozos running the station and what are they trying to stir up?

VANCOUVER – At a time when the world-wide Sikh community was mourning the massacre of innocent Sikhs at a US Gurdwara – rightwing local radio station CKNW was busy giving RACISTS free airtime to vent against Sikhs for looking out of place and basically saying well you won’t get killed if you look more like us and throw away your turbans.
What Fu….g NONSENSE!
Who are the Bozos running the station and what are they trying to stir up?
The station ran a story and gave time to an idiot calling himself Dave Foran, who after sending a local Punjabi radio station a racist letter, was given further say on the station for what he called, “the “Canadian way of living,”,
And Foran, who claimed he isn’t prejudiced (the same way Hitler wasn’t really prejudiced against the Jews but didn’t like their traditional hats), wrote the offensive email in the wake of a deadly shooting at a temple in the US.
And why and how did CKNW frame the story – by running with a headline that this idiotic racist was standing by his comments against members of the Sikh community.
“This morning he (Foran) defended its content with CKNW’s Phillip Till,” the station wrote in a news story on its website. What? CKNW is announcing that a racist guy is standing by his racist comments and that is news! What baloney!
“There’s nothing wrong with it if everybody kind of blends in and looks the same. But these people don’t do that. They bring that religious thing with them,” Foran told CKNW listeners
CKNW radio host Phillip Till: “But how does it impact you?”
Foran: “I have to look at it. Other people have to look at it. I’m not the only one here and I don’t believe I’m prejudiced. I know lots of people from India, they blend in, they wear blue jeans. I don’t want to live in India.”
In the email, Foran insisted he doesn’t condone violence but he believes Sikhs are disrespectful because they don’t blend in after moving to Canada.
He goes on to say, “your long beards, turbans, clothes and waddling as you follow each other down the street is enough to make us sick. Lose the traditions or stay in India.”
It’s you Foran that is sickening with your hate and it would be better if you got the hell out of Canada as it is not your country, buddy! Canada is Aboriginal and Natives’ land – so don’t be deluded into thinking cause you were born here – you own it. No. No one likes your kind because they are as ugly from the outside as they are from the inside!
