He made a very valid point but people hate him for appearing to be a c00n to them. Once you get pass the dislike and being upset because he referenced Tomi (not needed to make his point tho) you will realize we do not have platforms on the same scales as her show. I've seen some of her facebook posts have 7 million views or more. This is the age of social media. How many of you actually watch the news? Now, I'll admit that I watch the news more than I watch regular tv shows but I'm probably older than most of you. We have twitter and links available to read content and have videos on demand opposed to waiting on the nightly news to come on. If we have people (that we ALL have to support) with the same platform that Tomi's ignorance has created we can start showing ourselves in a different light. If you ever took the time to watch mainstream media consistently you would see that the way black people are depicted you would understand how it fuels racism and lost of empathy from people outside of our communities. You think a white person cares when a black guy is shot by the police if they have been watching news over the last several years, plastering our mugshots, focusing on all the details of our crimes? Hell no, she will feel like whomever it was might have been a criminal anyway. We have to control our narrative and create the conversation around our issues. There are a few social media/internet based shows that I enjoy but we dont support our own well enough to see it go mainstream. Tell me a black blog site, youtube based, tv show etc that gets 7 millions views or more? Anyway, if you know any on any scale, drop some links.

MLK wrote books

and the only way to "end" racism is to make the repercussions for racism severe, similar to how antisemitism is currently. You'll never be able to convince someone to stop being racist, no matter how many videos you make

scientific papers show the extent and ways that racism manifest itself. For example, Without scientific papers we'd never know that employers discriminate based on white-sounding vs black sounding names. Now that we know we can do something about it.

"Speak" for yourself :childplease: Just watching cacs in real life interact with black people will tell you all you need to know. Read any history books from the slavery era? See how the parallels still exist to this day? Leave your phone on record and step up from the table with white folks, you'll hear all you need to hear.

It's very difficult to educate a crowd of ignorance with intelligence... it's not appealing to them. The same way someone intelligent appeals to the intellectual... because they can relate.

Why do people think Reality TV is so popular? Donald Trump was elected President... don't underestimate the mind of the ignorant...

I understand that certain people have become stars off of Social Media and YouTube alone but also consider the content & consider the audience...

Please tell me what would be marketable to the mainstream about a pro-black, super militant talk show?

Good point. The breakfast will interview folks who they are comfortable with. They had the minister on there, twice which is cool. But they need to have sistahs like Sharazard Ali or Nikki Giovanni
They will never have Sista Ali on because she will shyt on cacs constantly, that's why they decided not to air the Paul Mooney interview. However they(Charlemagne) was willing to air the Tomi interview if she had shown up:martin:

it isn't really a race thing though....liberal/left wing talk shows never do a killing regardless of whether the host is black/white male or female.

Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews and Bill Maher is even small potatoes with the backing.

The right wing ones...like O'Rielly, Hannity and Rush Limbaugh kill it with their audience.

I think it's a "silent majority" thing.

TYT is fukking KILLING it on youtube

3 million subs, every vid gets at least 50k views and they upload 3-4 vids day

theyre as liberal as it gets

we should support cynthia. i've seen a few of her videos posted here and she's always on point and comes with facts.
she's infinitely more intelligent and thoughtful than what i've seen from that tami chick. her responses to the racist comments sounds like the coli :laff:



Only seen a few from her,might be a coli poster:pachaha:...,i watch Goddess Ayana from time to time she covers black issues,tries to open womens minds to the idea of polygamy to strengthen the black family:wow:






Watch the Grapevine a little bit,but mostly watch Saneeter/black news tv....women dont hage as strong a voice on there though....but we got channels.

But becides all that,it aint as many black woke people as there are white racist...you would never have the same kindve ratings,so what the hell he talkin about,what the hell he want:rudy:?oh just covering his tracks:sas1:?

Tomi Lohren doesn't have a unique platform though. She's basically spewing the same ole racism you find all of mainstream media. She's not out here dropping new shyt. Why follow up behind some white shyt anyways? She just contributes to the brainwashing of people. I don't want black people to just be brainwashed with talking points.

It doesn't have to be militant nor did I imply that. I'm talking about conversations about our situations. It can be panel based or just commentary. It is for US. You think a bunch of black people watch Tomi? Im talking about content for our community and political issues being discussed so we are aware. A lot of us are ignorant to law, to legistation up for vote and overall knowledge our how our government works. That is something Revolt could so on a small scale for online.

Cynthia G is the perfect example. Give her the resources that Tomi has (a team of people who's job it is to make her shine) and she could be pretty damn popular too.

Remove those same resources from Tomi and she'd be another cave bytch in her basement talking reckless about black people on her webcam.

i low key think cynthia has the spirit of dr frances cress welsing. glad someone like her has emerged since her passing.

she's one of the few people analyzing the psychology of these evil elbinoids. you cant solve a problem unless you get to the root of why they do what they do. as she says "most black people simply dont understand who we're dealing with" and cynthia is trying to show us. and using facts to do it :wow:
