Asher Roth Responds To Racist Accusations
Thursday, April 30 2009 7:27 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: True Story 
Today, Asher released a statement regarding this whole fiasco.
“The twitter situation was an immature attempt to poke fun at an infamously moronic joke. In doing so, I unconsciously stooped to the level of its originator, making it just as bad, if not worse. Pathetic. Lesson learned – nothing good can come from repeating hateful words, regardless of your intentions. Leaving no context in what was being said and being presented through text (no facial or vocal inflection) the sarcasm of the joke (or lack there of) was not properly perceived and left it purely in bad taste. I immediately apologized for my immaturity but the apologies and original post were deleted by my team in an effort to prevent more people from being offended. Unfortunately, the deletion of these statements led several people to believe that my apology was insincere, which is why I have made the decision to release this statement.”
Thank you, Mr. Roth. Now, back to regularly scheduled programming.





Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot
Thank you Ms. PR Rep for the statement
I don’t think anyone was seriously thinking this dude was racist. It was like, he was apologizing at first but didn’t understand how his joke offended people.
Seems to me like, he pulled the ideals from the mountain of @replies he got and put it together, to create a pretty statement. I mean, it’s whatever. I’d rather he slip now, then do like Em, pull you in, THEN, you get your heart broke when a tape comes out…*shrugs*
Yeah …almost 1 year ..later lol
thats good enough for you?
you weak my nigga
