"I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could -- if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down. That would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down."

Bill Bennett, Bill Bennett Morning in America, 9/28/05

The Rev. Yearwood, leader of the Hip Hop Caucus, calls upon the hip hop community, all African-American parents, students, community activists and members of the faith community, and all concerned Americans of all races and faiths to join him in showing their outrage and confronting Bill Bennett during the airing of his radio show.

The Hip Hop Caucus is calling for Bennett to apologize to the African-American community on Wednesday, to come down to the streets and answer to the people he insulted. The caucus is demanding that the Salem Radio Network remove Bennett's show from the air and that the FCC issue fines for what can only be construed as racist and therefore hate speech.

Tell Salem Radio Network, which claims to air Christian broadcasting, that we will not tolerate intolerance! As a united multicultural community, we must protest Bennett's blatant equation of race and criminal propensity as verbal violence to African-American generations past and generations to come!

When: Wednesday, Oct. 5, 8:30 a.m.
Where: Salem Radio Network (1901 North Moore St., Arlington; two blocks from the Rosslyn Metro)
