From MSNBC: NEW YORK - A syndicated hip-hop disc jockey was arrested Friday on charges of harassment and endangering the welfare of a child amid an uproar over his on-air racial and sexual rants about a radio rival’s wife and 4-year-old daughter.
Police officials had launched a hate crime investigation of DJ Star on Thursday after reviewing a transcript of his recent remarks about DJ Envy and his family.

In the comments, made between May 3 and Monday, Torain — co-host of the “Star & Buc Wild Morning show” — offered $500 to any listener who could provide information about the rival DJ’s daughter’s school and used racial slurs when talking about his rival’s wife, Gia Casey, who is part Asian.
“I will come for your kids,” Torain said, according to transcribed excerpts provided by Liu’s office. “I finally got the information on his slant-eyed, whore wife.”
Torain also called the couple’s child a “little half a lo mein eater” and said he wanted to “do an R. Kelly on your seed, on your little baby girl. I would like to tinkle on her,” according to the excerpts.
The comments apparently alluded to videotapes in 2002 showing a man bearing a strong resemblance to singer R. Kelly having sex with someone who appeared to be an underage girl and then urinating on her.
How many of you have heard about this?
Not many?
No real reason you should have. It is a local New York City story.
But let me ask you a question. If all else had been the same except that Torain had been white do you doubt that this would have been the lead story on both the cable news shows and the national network news broadcasts?
