Radio Host Fired For Rating Black Women’s Skin Tone According a Toaster Dial!?

We were all raised differently however some teachings/sayings were and are universal in a raisings.  So you would be hard pressed to find a that hasn’t not been told this at sometime during their rearing’s in life…if you start a sentence of with “I may get into trouble for this” 9 times out of 10 that’s exactly what’s going to happen and you absolutely should not say it. 

This life lesson was obviously not taught to a New York radio host or he fell into that other saying category ‘a hard head makes a soft ass’ because he lost his job for not taking the advice of the first paragraph then going on to start off by saying “I may get into trouble for this”.

97 Rock Morning Jock Rob Lederman did get in trouble for this, so much trouble that he was terminated after during his show the subject of what he was attracted to came up then he decided to rate the color of some affluent African American women skin tone in accordance with the dial on a toaster. 

“I will never go to a Serena Williams level … but I’m very comfortable with a Halle Berry level….Gayle King is not even on my toaster level.”

The radio station deleted the segment from their website but not before someone snagged it for Viral Twitterville.
