KRXQ management suspended the hosts of the Rob, Arnie & Dawn Show indefinitely for what it said were “offensive comments about transgendered people.”
The station posted a letter on its website from D.J. Rob Williams of the morning show who wrote, “We presented our opinions on a very sensitive subject in a hateful, childish and crude fashion.”
Here’s the text of the opinions that got them taken off the air.
“If my son, God forbid, if my son put on a pair of high heels, I would probably hit him with one of my shoes,” States said. “I would throw a shoe at him. Because you know what? Boys don’t wear high heels. And in my house, they definitely don’t wear high heels.”
“[T]hey are freaks,” Williams said. “They are abnormal. Not because they’re girls trapped in boys bodies but because they have a mental disorder that needs to be somehow gotten out of them.”
“You got a boy saying, ‘I wanna wear dresses.’ I’m going to look at him and go, ‘You know what? You’re a little idiot! You little dumbass! Look, you are a boy! Boys don’t wear dresses,’” States said. And about eight minutes later added, “You know, my favorite part about hearing these stories about the kids in high school, who the entire high school caters around, lets the boy wear the dress. I look forward to when they go out into society and society beats them down.”
The Sacramento Bee has reported that companies Bank of America and Chipotle have pulled their advertising as a result of the statements. [link]
Damn!! I went HARD!!! I know its probably wrong of me to laugh at these statements!!! But honestly that some shyt my uncle would say!!! ROTFLRLMBAO!!!!!
“You got a boy saying, ‘I wanna wear dresses.’ I’m going to look at him and go, ‘You know what? You’re a little idiot! You little dumbass! Look, you are a boy! Boys don’t wear dresses,’
IM dead at this comment right here!! ^^^^^(())))))0—-____________________ Flatline!!!
Ops I meant to say “they went HARD”
i can see how one can think thats a ‘mental disorder’ i mean what else is one to think when you born male but want to be female(not talking gays or lesbian but the men that physcally become women and vice versa) while at end of day i have nothing against such behavior, one wonders what ,scientifcally is going on in their brain
(no i cant spell)
well what they said is what most people are thinking. they have said worse on this site about trannies. check out the post on the tranny about bow wow.
Woah they are based out of CA?! they shouldve known better than mess with them
Boys dont wear dresses- Im sorry I agree- you can be gay all day long -but if my son come home with a dress and heels on or if my daughter walks around with her pants hanging down her knees- I just might throw a damn shoe at their @sses too…lol
I thought you actually needed to be diagnosed with a mental disorder before they let you get a sex change
I believe people can say whateva they wanna say. But when you offend thousands of people….prepare to deal w/ the consequences.
What a sad world we live in. And anyone who would treat their child like I have no words to address them. So is it the parents fault that the child want to dress that way since children are deemed a reflection of their parents.
This is how hate is breeded. We all really need to accept the fact that everyone is different. And different doesn’t equal weird if so we all are weird.
i would still embrace my child regardless of how i feel, it wont change their mind at end of day, i know too many people who dont speak to their parents and vice versa over dumb stuff and thats a shame
‘I look forward to when they go out into society and society beats them down.’
I agree with this guy’s premise but the line I referenced is just hateful. I don’t believe in men wearing women’s clothes and vice versa, but no one should be putting their hands on another because you don’t agree with thier lifestyle.
First thing i thought when i read
“Radio show hosts suspended for their opinions on trannies”
Is it ciara??/
@6 @ 7 @8
IGNORANCE,
Tranny, gay black white straight latin whatever its still a person who desrves respect no matter what, i dont particularly care for the trannies but your comments are rude and ignorant…… People are who they are, keep it moving if there lives arent affecting you why does it matter???
I hate to say it but these are the type of ppl you hope their kids hookup with a black person and gives him mixed grand kids. LOL. Racists are usually racists across the board, they are not selective in their hatred.
@10
yes parents always have ideals of what their kids should be and its fine to guide them but ultimatley a grown woman/man is gonna do what they are gonna do
as a parent the best thing you can do is support and keep it moving
What did I say that was so wrong, you do need a counselor before the surgery, I watch Discovery Health
I know this has nothing to do with racism but how this guy sees gays is just plain hate.
Blank stare.
It is written, “The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.” (Deuteronomy 22:5)
@16
“diagnosed with a mental disorder”
NO physician (SP) would give surgery to someone with a “MENTAL DISORDER” maybe you were multitasking because i dont think that was in the show
attorneymom does that mean pants also?
@ Anna comment 14 has me stuck.
The punishment should be to have a baby with a black person? Well damn, I’m done off then. Cause I wouldn’t do it any other way.
I guess I’m a very tolerate open minded person because I don’t have a problem with trannies. I know people in my family who have strong views of homosexuality but I don’t share that belief with them. Everyone is different.
In the case with the DJs, I’ve heard much worse things on the radio. Is something missing from their comments?
I agree with Iscream and Charles. If it were diabetes, sickle cell whatever people would have compassion oh theres a difference in her/his body, not a typical(work I like better than normal) body. But if the brain is wired different than the sexuality of the typical brain you get this nonsense.
that being said I thought we had free speech? Like I always say equal=equal.
@18
SIT THE FUCK DOWN With the bible versuses that shit is so old
Deuteronomy 22:11.
“22:11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woolen and linen together.
”
wHAT YOU WEARING RIGHT NOW ATTORNEY MOM
Leviticus 19:19
“19:19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woolen come upon thee.”
iF YOU GONNA FOLLWO THE BIBLE WHEN ITS CONVIENET OR CUTE THAN DO IT WHEN ITS NOT
follow*
CONVIENET*
I understand what Anna means I think….she means when you have a klan member and they’ve had children that grow up and marry outside of their race. You let a Klansmen child grow up and marry a black person or a jew. Man there’s gonna be a problem!!!
@ miamore even with the explanation of what she said I still find it a bit offensive. Sorry, that’s just me. I get it I just don’t agree with it.
good.
i hate those punks.
where do y’all get these bible versus on the blackberry?
I always think about the scene in that movie, “I Like it Like That”….when the brother(sister) Alexis went to visit his(her) parents & the father beat him(her) down….I think those close to transgender people (immediate family in particular) feel as though its a bad reflection on them (the fam)…but it’s just like if you have a killer in your fam…doesn’t necessarily mean you raised them that way….
Then my daughter has a male cousin who EVERYONE (if they keep it 100) knew was going to be gay….now as a teen he proclaims he is bisexual & tends to dress in womens clothing…altough he doesn’t cross dress around the fam…one of his female adult cousins was like, “If I catch him Ima whoop his a$$!” I’m like, “What good is that going to do? You’re just going to make him ashamed of who he is. He’s prob. already struggling with it cause yall don’t approve of him being bisexual.”
I don’t understand it, but wouldn’t go as far as calling it a mental disorder, social maybe. At his age, I’m just glad he ain’t doin’ that DL ish….if you like both say that then! Let your prospectives make an informed choice!
@ iscream, #9
WELL SAID!
No more bible verses, I can’t take it anymore.
exactly, plz stop with the bible verses. the statements are ignorant. people must learn to accept others for who and what they are. when you and i die, only you or i have to answer for our lives. live your life for you, cuz i damn sure live mine for me.
the statements are their own, and like imus, ur on the radio and sexual orientation, religion, politics are some of the topics radio hosts need not get too deep into, hence this nonsense. they’ll get fired. glaad will see to it. and they should. think how you want, but dont come spewing that bs out on the rest of us like it’s ok and funny.
stop quoting the bible plz. dhoward (ilovesmeadeltabtw), i agree.
honestly i would say the same thing and how do i get an avator?
man why i got this wack baby pic lol?
I agree 100 % percent ppl need to stop cherry picking what bible verses quote and damn others with. Unless its Let he without sin…
oh and can’t believe I’m saying this but go preach Charles preach
For those who don’t have a brain….
A dress is just a piece of clothing.
Obviously this stupid mutha – sucka and some of you don’t realize that in Scotland, wearing dresses by men is normal attire.
Stop pushing hate and violence because you don’t understand!
#38, but the bible says…. i agree.
the bible says. since when does God need a co-signor. just stop it, stop it, stop it. it’s funny how church folk only embrace like minds. if a person is so far out there, wouldn’t you embrace them, rather than stone the living shyt out of em? nuff of this though. good points.
***embrace them to teach the word instead of just preaching…left that out.
@ Naima (#20), I am not sure if you are attempting to be funny, but you know darn well that there are pants made for females and those made for males. Next.
@ the Scripture haters only (you know who you are): I see I have struck a nerve in SOME of you. And I understand that you have every right not to be “harassed” by life changing knowledge. I will stop casting pearls before swine and shake the dust off my feet. Darkness (ignorance) does not like light (wisdom) because light overcomes (removes or destroys) darkness. Some of you are acting like gremlins (goggle it)– afraid of bright lights.
I will leave with this last verse if scripture that explains the purpose of scripture:
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man [including women] of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Timothy 3:16,17)
@ Sandra, I think this will be my last scripture post (unless compelled otherwise, LOL). I will take my scripture posting activities back to Character Corner (The Blog Where Hip Hop Meets Scripture) where they belong.
I meant to write “of” instead of “if” in the third paragraph.
Sidebar: Tameka Raymond (Sandra Rose’s best friend) made a great point on twitter yesterday. She writes:
“Sooo another thought: w/ the 19 million people that update on TWITTER everyday ALL day~ are we ALL bad parents, spouses,business owners,etc?”
Selah.
I don’t want to be a bad (punk azz) parent, spouse, attorney or business owner. Therefore, I have to join a 12 Step Program for my blog and social network addiction. LOL.
On a serious note, I would advise the Sandra Rose family to review their company’s employee handbook for its internet usage policy. I am sure corporate policy does not recommend that you surf the internet during work hours (absent lunch breaks, of course). Also check your productivity at work: Can it use an upgrade?
Then ask yourself: Have I prioritized my life such that my internet usage is not causing me to neglect my health, spirit, spouse or family? If the answer is no, then you need some help. LOL.
I know I said I would not post another scripture, but I want to leave you with this one:
Proverbs 14:1 – The wise woman builds her house, [b]ut the foolish tears it down with her own hands. Selah.

I am not trying to be funny, but there are religous folks who believe that women should not wear pants at all, doesn’t matter what section of the store you bought it from
@ Naima, I don’t do religious folks. I am about a personal relationship with the Creator of everything that is good. Relationship and religion are two different things.
Sidebar: Remember just because God (Jehovah) allows evil does not mean he created evil. Selah.
