African-American organization rejects Comcast diversity pledge | Radio & Television Business Report

The National Coalition of African American Owned Media derided the overtures made by Comcast to promote diversity in a number of ways, comparing seed money for minority entrepreneurs to paper clip money and calling the promise to carry four African-American channels entirely inadequate.

Stanley E. Washington, NCAAOM President & CEO stated, “Comcast has approximately 100,000 employees and spends more than $20 million per year on paperclips. Their meaningless pledge confirms that Comcast believes African American subscribers are not worth more than the paperclips on their desk. African American subscribers make up approximately 40% of Comcast’s $36 billion annual revenue, representing $15 billion annually.”


Washington said that Comcast cable systems can carry 500 channels, and that 50 African-American-owned channels would be an acceptable minimum, not four. He said that as it stands now, the company pays $8B annually on program licensing, only $2M of which goes to African-American-owned programming companies.


In a statement spelling out its next steps, NCAAOM said, “In light of this highly insulting post-merger promise, we’re stepping-up the Comcast Boycott to increase visibility of the huge economic contribution from African American subscribers to Comcast monthly/annual revenue.”

:ohhh:
if black people makeup 40% of comcast subscriber base, we need to take collective action. :mjtf:

Comcast offers tv, internet, phone all bundled up. That’s convenience. For them to be replaced, there has to be an alternative that is just as good or better.

Folks ain’t trying pay separate bills for tv internet and phone. Granted u can find a way to do all three but u really think the average American wants to spend his time d1cking around with sh1t just to save a few pennies.

No hate. The National Association of African-American Owned Media is a subsidiary of Byron Allen Enterprise or whatever the parent company's name is
So before the lawsuits, what is Byron Allen track record for fighting for racial equality since he's claiming that his efforts is due to that?

I don't see the problem with Al Sharpton squeezing these companies while having a track record for fighting racial equality

Unless a Black consumer is getting special treatment or community is getting kcikback, no business should be promoted as "Black owned." Just let your quality of service be your marketing tool

It's not a bias against Allen but self serving Black entrepreneurs using Black plight for a comeup
If he wasn't about racial equality or similar before the lawsuits, then why should the average Black person care now that he's using racially charged words?
