E-MESS: "Cripple"
Posted 14 years ago - Dec 13, 2010
From: WallyYour show Friday afternoon was the last straw for me. You have said some cold, rude things that you consider funny, but your "pre-cripple or post-cripple" comment took the cake. It was unbelievably unsensitive and cold. Saying if someone went to heaven, would they be "pre-cripple" or "post-cripple" was obnoxious! I was injured when I was 17, a senior in high school. I use a wheelchair because my spinal cord was severed when I had my accident. First of all, saying "cripple" is extremely ignorant. It is like using the "N word" to people who are disabled. Secondly, you were so flippant with your comment. You have no idea what it's like for a 17 year old high school senior to be able to walk one day and not be able to walk the next day. I have a sense of humor, but you're insensitivity is absolutely unbelievable. If your wife or daughter had an accident and became disabled do you think you'd so lightly say something like that? I don't think so. I am also sending an email to my local station regarding that remark.
