Kick Racist T. Nash Off The Airwaves
WARNING: This post contains extremely offensive screenshots of the racist and hateful language that Robert T. Nash publicly uses to attack members of the Chattanooga community.
Robert T. Nash is a hateful bigot - and he is back on the WGOW airwaves.
The Chattanooga community would hope that public personalities who use their social media accounts to attack racial minorities with racist slurs, to make anti-Semitic remarks and to degrade the LGBT community would never be given a platform on local radio, but that is exactly what local radio station WGOW has done.
This should lead many to wonder: how do the local companies who advertise with WGOW feel about their products being directly associated with a radio host who has a LONG history of making public remarks such as the following.
Since WGOW has chosen to give Robert T. Nash a platform for his hate, Chattanooga locals should reach out to the local companies that advertise on the radio to ask them how they feel having their products connected with hate speech. Please consider calling these companies, asking to speak with a manager and then asking if they are aware that by advertising on WGOW they are paying to support the spread of divisive and toxic hate speech in our community:

A copy of the email I sent to WGOW:
Hey Deanna,
As we discussed on the phone, Mellow Mushroom is extremely disappointed that WGOW chose to put Robert T. Nash back on the air (if only temporarily). You may recall that I expressed relief back when he was fired several years ago. I thought that was the end of it, until I heard today from a friend that WGOW put an unrepentant racist back on the air.
Here's a link to a blog that has compiled some of his offensive tweets. http://rtnracist.tumblr.com Some of the stuff on there is from years ago, but as recently as a week ago, he used a racial slur in a tweet.
I cannot have my companies associated with a media group that provides a forum for the vile things that spring from his sick mind. We will take our advertising business elsewhere if he continues to be on your radio station.
I would like to hear from WGOW's management about this issue.
