FIRED -Damn so Paddy Duke from Hot 97 is really Pasquale Raucci dude who help kill Yusuf Hawkins

[Stick Up Kid]

Y'all nikkas need to get out your feelings First of all

I Said what I said, Doesn't matter this dude was all up in y'all NY Video's being shouted out and work there for 27 years so miss me with the bullshyt that he was the mail boy, he was behind the scenes but fukkin visible

And I stand what I Said out here in California and in the South, if we found out that one of our stations hired a person that was apart of a lynching, you see shyt trending on Twitter and news coverage because we would be all up in there shyt and shut shyt down

You think nikkas was playing detective to figure out if a random Italian cac that nobody was paying attention to, was part of a lynch mob 10-20 years prior?

you act like there was Google or the internet in the 1990s.....

cut the tough talk clown.... Zimmerman is all up in ur neighborhoods, yall clowns aint do shyt.

Legally do they have a case? I’m guessing he lied on his CV or something? I just hope he can’t sue for wrongful dismissal.

I read about this case a few weeks ago Before the documentary and saw the other guy maybe out for parole in a few years too. Completely fukked up.

He probably never thought it would escalate to murder. He was a kid. You may forgive him, but he doesn’t deserve a place in the black community. He stood with other Italians in order to beat up anyone black who came into his area over someone’s sister (I think that excuse was BS).

What the fukk?

 

[GunRanger]

After nearly 30 years of being employed there and moving up in terms of responsibility, position and salary, deep dives into his history would have been done on multiple occasions, especially once he was going to transition into an executive position. Emmis Communications 100 percent would have been privy to this information, a publicly traded company of that size has people on the payroll who sole function is to identify anything that could harm the public image of the company.

I also find the specific wording and language of the public post and what was sent to employees something to take note of, terminate the relationship and no longer employ, how did it actually unfold? Was he fired? Or did a conversation happen behind the scenes and he is quietly resigning from his position and leaving with some sort of severance package? Is the remainder of his contract being payed out? 26 years at Emmis 17 of which were in an executive position so I gotta wonder if he had stock options? I would love to see his contracts. My gut tells me him no longer being employed by hot 97 is not the punishment some people will construe it as and that his bank account balance is going to increase one way or the other as a result of this.

Its obviously fukk Paddy Duke and I been saying fukk Hot 97 but I really hope this gains maximum traction and shifts to the complicity of Emmis Communications.

This way they avoid a wongful termination lawsuit since they already knew, and he worked there over 20 yrs already.

Facts, maybe folk start selling off their stock in Emmis is when they will say what’s true..

like one poster said whatever paddy Duke made at Emmis for the better part of damn near 3 decades they need to pay Yusef Hawkins family that money

 

[Michael's Black Son]

fukk Hot97 first off.

dude was with them for 25 years so it’s inexcusable that they didn’t know his past. They all knew and buckled because of the shytstorm brewing online from Dallas Penn (and others). Station management, Ebro, old owners and new owners know his deal and looked the other way.

it’s not like the Yusuf Hawkins case was some small time shyt that got zero coverage. This fukking CAC got his second chance, blessed with a job and vultured his way Into the culture. fukk Angie, Flex, Rosenberg, Ebro and everyone else who were aware of this fukkboy. bytch ass Angie went to high school in the neighborhood around where Paddy lived.

Y'all NY nikkas is different y'all should be at that station headquarters demanding to explain the bullshyt and start boycotting the station to bring light to it nationally

If that was happening on The West Coast please believe we be at that radio station deep, tearing shyt up

From what I see in LA.....Big Boy morning show and majority hip hop stations in LA is white or latino

Breh, there's a hundred things we need to worry about more at the moment, then some random ass radio producer nobody has ever heard of.

So you want, folks, during a pandemic, to take the train to Lower Manhattan, and protest a radio station, that has already fired a guy, that nobody has ever heard of until last week?

I'm not getting what you want us to do?

Yeah, that was my post. Im just watching the documentary now, its a tough watch on a few different levels but seeing Paddy Duke giving his statement in such a nonchalant way is infuriating thinking about the success hes enjoyed off a culture he clearly had/has disdain for. I would love to see people tank Emmis stock, cause they are gonna try to spin this into a win for them, oh as soon as we knew we got rid of him, pat us on the back. Heres a half hour special with clown ass Ebro being fake militant about racism yawl. Heres an inconsequential donation of 10 grand to the UNCF in Yusuf Hawkins honour on behalf of Hot 97. FOH with the platitudes, weak gestures and soft action. I hope social media keeps kicking up dust about this and it gets some actual mainstream coverage cause theres lots of Paddy Dukes hiding out in plain sight.

You dont have to do anything

But get out the way and quit downplaying it

What city and state are you in? California? Regardless - West Coast. K. Maybe y’all need to focus on protecting your own local talent from being retaliated against by enemies within, as they try to bring businesses into the community. Instead of what we are doing on this side. NYC doesn’t have a notorious reputation of running up on high visibility representatives of our own race and gunning for them if they are trying to positively impact to hustle for the communities where they are from, trying to pack them up. Nip that in the bud first then we can compare activism. There’s things that we don’t condone or don’t sanction over here that you have different codes for on that side that play out in a very public way. I mean, if you can’t protect your own in your own territory then it kind of cancels out what you “would do”. Talking all that smoke hits different when real shyt pops off.

And dude was fired, swiftly. so clearly When people figured out who he was, demands were heard and he was let go.

Exactly. This is the case everywhere. And y'all know why

They clearly knew before this
