Over-reaction much, seems like an innocent mistake.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Wait he got sacked because 1 person complained.... really 1 person

I suppose he could have checked before playing the song but its not like he purposely aired the song to cause a fuss, it was an innocent mistake.

What was the actual lyric, Arista?

A Black Person was called a "N"
in 1932


The second verse went: ‘He’s been tanning n*****s out in Timbuktu, Now he’s coming back to do the same for you.’

Jonathan King, who was jailed in 2001 for sexually abusing teenagers in the 1980s, covered the song in 1971.

He changed the lyric to: ‘He’s been tanning negroes in Timbuktu.’

More recent versions have changed it to: ‘He’s been roastin’ peanuts out in Timbuktu’ or just ‘shining brightly out in Timbuktu’.

Warning this Music has the N word in it Don Not Click it this it offends you
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDIpkz6DOi8

This mature DJ was stupid to not know the N word is in it.

The world was a very different place when this song was written. I'm not sticking up for using the word, not at all... and I'm not sure it should have been played... but sacking someone for ONE complaint is a bit rich considering the fact that that the N word is played over the air hundreds maybe thousands of times a day in contemporary music.

Yes but he said sorry
or do you want me to full on my sword


The Bloated BBC picked the option of him leaving


Yes its a song played on BBC TV in Edit Format
to introduce a docu
or point & on their "one show"

[LeatherTrumpet]

Another example on management cowards acting out of fear of blame and nothing at all to do with racism

He should be reinstated and the person who sacked him should be sacked for abject cowardice

Only from 2 stores

Seems like an innocent mistake. I never knew the song had that word in but then again it was from the 1930s so it's obviously changed throughout the years. Feel sorry for the guy

Yes Edited out

[Samuel.]

Maybe I'm numb to the world listening to hip hop every hour of every day, but it blows my mind that they'd even consider sacking him for this regardless of if it received 1,000 complaints.

Maybe they saw it as an opportunity to change staff anyway.

Radio 2 recently played Olivers Army and it contains the n word and it was played. Are they going to now sack Jeremy Vine?
