Byron Allen Goes To War With Sharpton, Obama, Comcast For Future Of Black Media
DailyCaller.com ^ | 26 Feb 2015 | Patrick Hawley

Posted on 02/26/2015 8:18:24 AM PST by W.

“Why is Sharpton on TV every night on MSNBC? Because he endorsed Comcast’s acquisition of NBCUniversal. He signed the memorandum of understanding back in 2010. He endorsed the merger. Next thing you know we’re watching him on television trying to form a sentence. Every night we have the privilege of watching adult illiteracy.”

“Al Sharpton is nothing more than a black pawn in a very sophisticated white economic chess game,” Allen continued. “He’s not even bright enough to know he’s on the chess board and he’s being used by his white masters at Comcast, specifically [executive vice president] David Cohen and [chairman and CEO] Brian Roberts.”

I can tell that I don't care for Byron Allen all that much. Pretty clear to me that he's a racist himself, and more likely than not his real axe to grind is that Al gets his cut while Byron does not. Having said that, if this means a "Texas Cage Match" fight to the death between Allen and Sharpton, I will get front row tickets.

I don’t think the “Rev.” is going to like being classified as a “Tom”.

Fox's Melissa Frances reported on The Kelly File that Al Sharpton not only hosts an MSNBC show, but that:

<><> MSNBC Corporate finances Sharpton's Ntl Action Network (NAN);

<><>Comcast is also one of Sharpton's financial backers

<><> MSNBC AND COMCAST are reportedly negotiating to buy Sharpton's NAN network.

“White” media already has black representation out of proportion to their percentage of the population. I wonder how whites are represented on “black’ media?

MSNBC shake-up: Al Sharpton to lose nightly show (MSBNC spox says left-wing TV a goner)

The Daily Beast is reporting that Rev. Al Sharpton may lose his nightly time slot. “Politics Nation with Al Sharpton,” has aired since 2011 and has had a successful run. At issue is a steady slide in viewership....Chris Hayes is to be replaced by the “Rachel Maddow Show.” Maddow moves from 9 p.m. to 8 p.m., while a search is underway for a new host for the vacant time slot.

Sharpton’s show is rumored to be moving from nightly 6 p.m. to weekend-only. Sharpton attracts a solid 35 percent Black audience and is considered a lightning rod of controversy because of his activism on behalf of the oppressed. There has been no word from the Sharpton camp on the rumored changes.

The source at MSNBC stated the programming decisions were part of a change in MSNBC'S political mindset: “Going left was a brilliant strategy while it lasted, and made hundreds of millions of dollars for Comcast, but now it doesn’t work anymore…...The goal is to move away from left-wing TV.”

=================================================

I guess MSNBC got rankled w/ Ebonics Al's constant defense of "the oppressed."

============================================

SO NOW WHAT HAPPENS TO EBONICS AL'S EXTORTION RACKET:
he “earns" money for his custom-made suits and
a chauffer by calling other people racist.

Sharpton's 2003 e-mail to Honda "We cannot be silent while African-Americans spend hard-earned dollars with a company that does not hire, promote or do business with us in a statistically significant manner."

Ebonics Al raised $1 million for NAN at his 60th birthday bash in October, with donations rolling in from unions and a corporate roster of contributors including AT&T, McDonald’s, Verizon and Walmart.

Companies have gotten in line to pay Sharpton. Macy’s and Pfizer forked over thousands to NAN, as have General Motors, American Honda and Chrysler.

===============================================

I sincerely hope "payments" to Ebonics Al were properly disclosed to shareholders of publicy-traded companies.

Im I the only one who thinks Sharpton’s head looks like it’s about three sizes to big for the rest of his body? He looks like a human bobble head doll.

“My wife happens to be white

Sigh...

She "happens" to be white? So does Allen "happen" to be black?

Why does he "happen" to be beotching about Sharpton "getting more money from AT&T than Ebony magazine"?

Why should Allen be worried about "getting" money from Comcast? I don't get any money from Comcast OR AT&T.

Then there is this gem, just to wrap things up: "Well diversity is defined as women and white women."

At least the extremely race-conscious Mr. Allen "happens" to practice "diversity" in his own home.

Your not the only one but, it’s not his head is to big, he used to be a big fat tub a goo and lost weight(through the meth/crack diet plan no doubt)and he shrunk into the tiny freak we see today.

Yes. It does.

He used to be very very fat and his head was appropriately sized.

He did something to lose a lot of weight and become thinner.

His head, though, didn’t and can’t shrink commensurately.

So he looks weird. Looks very unhealthy.

Wow when I saw the name Byron Allen I was wondering if it is the same Byron Allen that appeared in Real People. Just looked him up and he did good with his life. Good for him.
