This is a recording of the Tom Joyner show( which was/is syndicated nationally) where he and his staff laugh about and mock Bethany Hamilton a day or so after the shark attack. Even Stern wouldnt stoop so low as to attack a victim of a horrible attack like this who was a minor! After this broadcast there was quite an uproar going in the surf community with Joyner but to this day Joyner nor the corporation that syndicates his show have ever apologized for his actions. This really stuck in my craw and now with Soul Surfer out and all the media attention its a perfect chance for all of Bethanys fans to get her that loooong overdue apology! Its never too late! Contact Joyner here and tell him he needs to apologize to Bethany and her family, even though I'm sure they could care less about this jerk.

let me set you straight. this is NOT Tom Joyner attacking Bethany Hamilton (in fact there is no attacking anywhere in this broadcast). the ignorant person who posted this should've made this an honest post. The person singing is J Anthony Brown- a COMEDIAN hired to make jokes about the news- similar to Artie Lange on Stern. Since the 60's- black and white comdians have used race as a basis for jokes due to overwhelming difference in blacks/whites/latinos etc. its true to its intended audience
I don't know who Tom Joyner is, and I have never heard of him. I just clicked on this by mistake because I just finished watching Soul Surfer. This man is beyond what words I would like to use, but I have more class than he does. Just one word at the moment is coming to to mind, and that is "Karma" Bethany Hamilton, you are a beautiful person inside and out and you're an awesome inspiration. Much love from L.A.
and if you've ever been part of a team- u know that u do not throw a person under the bus on air/in public. if you've ever listen to Joyner they are a VERY expressive crew. in this segment they are WAY more reserved than usual which says something to the people who know the show, Do your homework before displaying ignorance
I feel like just making a racist song about him ATTACKING a person who just LOST AN ARM to a shark, but that would mean I would've sunken lower to his level.....
Wow!! After all Bethany has been through, he still manages to be a completely terrible man. He still hasn't apologized and makes me soooo angry!!
i am so disgusted by this repulsive man i was at a loss for words for a couple minutes. My heart goes out to these people. Ill be praying for you.
maybe, maybe not, but the fact that she's a pro surfer with one arm would probably get some attention.
I wish that this received more attention...it should not have been ignored.
must make him feel small that a 14 year old girl has more courage and class then he will ever have...he is not so much a racist as he is an opportunistic infection.
he obviously did this as a joke as tasteless as it is. i don't think he meant any harm, but it still made me sick to hear him essentially taking the tragic injury of a young girl (regardless of her race) and making fun of it. my only hope is that someone else on the show said something to him about his appropriateness or lacktherof.
These People are just drunk.... can't believe what they're joking about. but one day, they'll regret it for sure.
Hey please help me spread the video around and make sure and use the email link and ask him to apologize, try to be somewhat polite about it. If nothing else Id like him and more importantly his sponsors know how unacceptable his actions were by having to handle hundreds/thousands of emails or phone calls. Bethany wasnt a celebrity then, just a regular ol kid, theres no excuse for it..
Thanks
Wow, this is sick. How can people be this way? I just don't... I don't even know what to say. It is just aweful and disguasting. Just no. I hope he got fired!
What kind of sicke person could make fun of someone who lost an arm? Equally as bad, who would actually like such a video.?
Tom Joyner is a walking heart attack who is so proud before his own destruction.. He who laughs last Tom laughs best.
where did I say or infer that only black people have been slaves? nowhere that's where- so what are you talking about? i asked a question that you didn't answer. learn about life? i have a degree, have over 5 yrs mentoring experience, worked with habitat for humanity, have 3 honor roll kids, and have a library of read books that would rival Borders. what exactly do i need to learn in your opinion
how could you possibly live w/ yourselves making fun of a tragedy such as this? I pray nothing catastrophic happens to you or yours, this world is in a sad state
This is absolutely the most insensitive thing I have ever heard. You should be ashamed of yourselves. I would say that you owe this young lady an apology, but she has proven time and time again that she can rise above the worst that this world has to offer and that includes the likes of you!
What ever you need to feel better about racism you go with it, but know it will NOT change the FACT this Black comedian in his heart is what he is, and going thru a power talk will NEVER change his heart! You need to learn a lot more about life and living before making statement to cover up this kind of HATE talk!
RACISM lives in the hearts of many Black people!
That is an awful mean-spirited thing to do and say. Shame on all of those people! Shame!
What a sad, sad little man. Making fun of Gods plan in a little girl's life. My heart sank as I listened to this because it shows what a dark place his heart is in. I'm really at a loss for words...
wow, truly, you must forward this along. we as white people have been held down for far too long by the black comedian. if we can get some justice for this, it will eliminate centuries of injustice committed against us by black people. WE WILL OVERCOME!
this is the most disrespectful video I ever seen in my life. You should be ashamed of your self!! This should be removed.
If she was fat or ugly ,she get no media attention at all lol
Tom Joyner... you have just made me feel bad about being black. Tom has kids too and I bet if something happen to his kids or love-ones he would think this was despicable! I'm so glad Bethany is feel with the Holy Ghost and lets God fight her battle. Keep on surfing girl!
im black this is not funny tom joyner show is cancelled now anyway it came on fm radio in nyc area around this time in 2003 to 2005 im ashamed smh
this discust me. bethany is one of the best people in the world. she is also one of the best female sufers in the world and thats a fact. this is one of the bravest girls you will ever meet in your life. bethany should meet this man. shes probably taller than him anyways considering that shes 5"11
that is so awful... making fun of a poor innocent young girl who's arm was ripped off... what would u do if it was u or some1 u loved and some idiotic jerk poked fun at it?!
he is just saying that because he thinks that only white people would swim in the ocean apparently...to get shark bites ...I don't think he was meaning anything toward bethany... it's like God says "forgive them for they know not what they do"...he doesn't sing very well tho...
I'm for feeding this comedian family to a shark just to make sure that they only like white meat!
This is so disrespectful. This is one sad human being and should have is show ripped from his nasty fingers. Do you not have any self respect. You sir have just made yourself despised by many people. Congrats your hate factor is rising ever so quickly.
NOT SOMETHING TO JOKE ABOUT
are you people making fun of her? how about you trying doing that with one arm
yeah i thought so
This is what years of drugs does to wanna bee's. the man has everything he needs in this life except the most precious thing which is truth. Courage is not in his dna.
sending email now
Ummm... That's not funny. Why would u think it's funny when a girl gets attacked by a 14ft tiger shark? And it takes her left arm!!!! It's not funny!!! Bethany is is true inspiration to me. So please don't make fun of her.
STOP IT!!!!!!! how would u like it if u were Bethany and a shark bit off your left arm! hmmm?!?!?!? please don't make fun of Bethany!!! she's a very good person and doesn't deserve to be made fun of!!
can't wait to hear a shark attack on some DARK MEAT!
ok, i usally have a pretty cold heart, and make racial slurs right to black ppls faces while just jk, but, this is really fucked up. they r lucky they dont have a lawsuit on their hands
@rippy40 Find me the show where stern or Limbutt has a special skit performed to denigrate a minor injured or killed in some form of attack where the skits motivation is racial animosity and Ill post it. When the 12 year old Black girl was gunned down by the 5th ave crew I dont remember any skits about not crossing the road and the Mexicans wont kill you.
i think thats pretty fun as long as shes not dead.
Well if you look at the both of these people, Bethany resembles a warrior, just look how ripped she is, but poor old Joyner try as he might will always resemble nothing more than a turd, and I hope he will remember that the lord of all creation mocks those who mock his children. Bethany is the lords hand maiden. Woe to him.
it's a joke, albeit a bad one, about how black people don't surf. note, i do think it is in poor taste.
Disgusting, pathetic, despicable! Beneath contempt and beyond redemption!
@rippy40 so making jokes about a minor having their arm ripped off by a Tiger shark due to the minors race is cool with you? Sorry the entire staff takes part in the skit, listen to it.
I would like to know if this miserable person still has his job? Some people are just plain pathetic!
He retired in 2019
@acarnivorous ˌDefinition of RACISM- a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race... given what black people have experienced in the US and South Africa- can you blame em?
@1southernbychoice
You think racism is a white thing only? That's a racist POV. What do you call a black racist? Livin in the DC area I know Joyner can be more than a bit biased but this is along the lines of the Greaseman and he was run out of town on a rail. I know where I live and Joyner is untouchable. What a disgrace.
u guys r all getting rlly pissed at this random guy but if Bethany saw this I bet shed be laughing cuz she's just tht amazing. Don't let stupid videos like this get 2 all of u. The world already knows bethanys an inspiration -3
I'm just glad they're both eating their words now. :)
I just have THREE words for them... RUDE AZZ FOLKS
That's just inconsiderate watch the movie soul surfer. U now what ur just jealous that u can't do what she can do.
Like to see these guys get taken out in to the ocean and fed to the sharks.
I hope a shark will personally come by to bite of BOTH their arms to see how they like it!! Who agrees??
This guy is a disgrace...
I sent it to him!
Just another Howard Stern wannabe.
the guys soo mean hes like making fun of her
@rippy40 Tom Joyner approved the skit, took part in it, he's never apologized, why do you even suggest he would throw him under the bus? Go ahead throw your pathetic "white racist" slurs, it doesnt change the fact that what he did was wrong.
@w8lifter201 no u really cant coz when u put it on the web its there for the whole world to see. ur being offensive and racist and that is obviously gonna irritate people and make them want to retaliate... get a grip. do not right back - goodbye
bethany has always been my hero she teaches me how to survie life and feel confident about myself :)
they are gonna burn in you know where! im disgusted!
@SeanP7195 Really? Because I find racism hilarious. Did I mention, I'm not Black. Reading comprehension FTW!
I think this video should be called idiots make fun of Bethany Hamilton this Video is so mean!!!!
that isnt funny
that wasn't funny
People are disgusting. Not funny
@w8lifter201 o my holy god... ur peeved at him for being racist and ur coming back with something equally if not more racist?! shame on u! we are all equals and no one has the right to ridicule or make someone elsse feel small for their own benefit
leave bethany alone!!!! oh and p.s. singing dosnt make it better, it makes it worse! i wish the shark would bite u !
@w8lifter201 way to follow a racist comment with another idiotic racist comment. you're basically perpetuating the problem, and missing the whole point of Bethany's story...to lead by example. This dude is ignorant yes! but u dont have to be...
Boy....I remember hearing this live on the radio. My sides were in STITCHES!!!! HILARIOUS!!!!!
Joyner- clown
@Missbamagirl09 amen to that!
That's funny!
