BYRON ALLEN FILES 10 MILLION RACIAL DISCRIMINATION LAWSUIT AGAINST FCC…

Published January 29, 2016 by sheezacoldpiece

  
“Everyone talks about diversity, but diversity in Hollywood and the media starts with ownership,”Says Byron Allen -Entertainment Studios CEO

Byron Allen is heading back to court, this time filing a $10 billion lawsuit against the FCC and Charter Communications claiming racial discrimination against African-American-owned media.

“President Obama and the Democratic Party have completely excluded the African-American community when it comes to economic inclusion,” Allen said in a statement to TheWrap Wednesday.

“Everyone talks about diversity, but diversity in Hollywood and the media starts with ownership. African Americans don’t need handouts and donations; we can hire ourselves if white corporate America does business with us in a fair and equitable way,” he continued.

In a $10 billion lawsuit filed at the Central District Court of California Wednesday, Entertainment Studios Networks, Inc. and the National Association of African American-Owned Media (NAAAOM) claimed that Charter Communications engaged in racial discrimination in contracting against 100 percent African-American-owned media in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1866, 42 U.S.C. section 1981.

The suit was also filed against the Federal Communications Commission “for approving mega-media mergers, such as Comcast/NBCUniversal, that discriminate against African American-owned media,” according to the documents obtained by TheWrap.

The suit further states that of the over $4 billion spent annually by Charter Communications on cable channel carriage fees and advertising, zero dollars are spent with 100 percent African American-owned media companies. “Because of this racial discrimination, President Obama’s FCC should never approve Charter Communications’ acquisition of Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks,” it claimed.

“Our lawsuit seeks to stop Charter Communications’ ‘Jim Crow’ policies and collusion with elected officials in order to continue its exclusion of 100 percent African American-owned media,” Allen said. “President Obama and the FCC have left 100 percent African American-owned media with no choice but to fight for our rights.

  
this suit, as well as others to follow, NAAAOM and I intend to stop these corporate racist atrocities and the resulting African American financial genocide that we witness every day.”

“Charter Communications does not do business, nor have they ever done business, with 100 percent African American-owned media. I think they are simply an evil corporation,” Mark DeVitre, President of NAAAOM, added. “President Obama and the FCC have failed the African American community so miserably, they have forced African American-owned media to the edge of extinction. Racism, and the lack of true economic inclusion, must stop.”

Last year, Allen filed a $20 billion racial discrimination lawsuit against Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, Comcast and Time Warner Cable, claiming they were blocking equal access for black-owned networks.

BLACK STATUES AND THEIR MEANINGS….

Published January 27, 2016 by sheezacoldpiece

  
A lot of people don’t know the real meaning behind these statues, so they vandalize them, bitch about them being racist, etc. When the image of a black ‘footman’ with a lantern signified the home was a stop on the Underground Railroad. These are largely a northern thing, and weren’t commonly found in the South until after WWII when northerners moved there and brought this custom with them. The clothing of the statue was also coded. A striped jockey’s shirt meant that this was a place to swap horses, while a footman in a tailed coat meant overnight lodgings/food, and a blue sailor’s waistcoat meant the homeowner could take you to a port and get you on a ship to Canada. I always laugh when I hear black folks talk about how racist these are, because honestly, the cats who had them were likely the LEAST racist. Later, these came back into popularity after WWII, and they were again coded to show the white homeowners supported early civil rights efforts, weren’t Klan, etc.

*HOAX*ERITREA GOVERMENT MAKES POLYGAMY LAW – MEN MUST MARRY TWO WOMEN OR FACE TIME IN JAIL…

Published January 27, 2016 by sheezacoldpiece

  
At first I thought this was a hoax, so I didn’t blog about it, and guess what, it is.  This story has been making the rounds on the Internet, and credible sites have been reporting it.  The Eritrean GOVERMENT has made it mandatory that the men marry at least Two women, due to a shortage of men as a result of immigration and war conflicts with Ethiopia.  As for the women, if they refuse this way of life they will face life in prison. All lies. 

Well Eritreans are very beautiful people, and I’m happy to learn it’s a hoax.  It would be scary if Government could mandate who you marry and force this way of life.  Of course being American this is completely foreign to me, but they could adapt and maybe approve of this as a culture.  Sounds expensive and unreasonable to me, but the Muslim religion approves of having at least 4 wives as long as you can financially support them.  I guess that’s why I’m not religious.

KANYE vs. WIZ KHALIFA TWITTER BEEF…EPIC BATTLE IN CYBERSPACE 

Published January 27, 2016 by sheezacoldpiece

  
If you haven’t heard by now, Kanye West will be releasing a new album next month, and has slowly been leaking anticipated album cover names and track listings.

  
At first he wanted to name the album “Swish”, but later decided to change it to “Waves”.  Wiz KHALIFA who is well known for smoking lots of trees (weed) sent out the following random tweet, 

  
which Kanye decided to take personal and go off on a Twitter rant.  I’ll post the many tweets from Kanye below, but basically Kanye threw out many insults to Wiz, from his skinny jeans – to his style being a knock off of Kid Cudi – to his child being born because of him leaving Amber Rose.  

  
  
Well, it didn’t take long for Amber Rose to jump on in and defend herself and Ex husband Wiz with the following Epic tweet.

  
So now we all know that Kim Kardashian most likely is use to “butt-er-fingers” since Kanye likes the bootyhole fondled, annnnndddd…well Kanye thinks his new album is the “LIFE” achievement record which remains to be seen.   So enjoy the shenanigans and all the memes to come from this.   I try to stay away from bullshit like this, but it’s a slow news day, and obviously y’all like the dirt.  

Less black drama, and more black power.  Free Promo for both albums coming in February. 

WHITE ACTOR JOSEPH FIENNES TO PLAY MICHAEL JACKSON IN NEW FILM…

Published January 27, 2016 by sheezacoldpiece

  
Now that #OscarsSoWhite is dying down, white folks have managed to piss people off again with this tragic casting choice to portray the King of Pop – Michael Jackson.  The British actor was cast to play Michael in a made for T.V. Film about a road trip with Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando after 9/11.  

This is why people refer to Hollywood as culture vultures.  They will go to great lengths to destroy and deminish the legacy of a world renowned Black artist and portray him as a white man.  Pure thievery.  Yes, no one can deny that Michael’s complexion has evolved over the years becoming ghostly pale, but the fact remains he was born black and died a black man.  Why insult his family and legacy by denying his true heritage with this portrayal.  It’s beyond disrespectful, yet as soon as the outrage begins, so does the quest to silence us.  This just further proves how everything taught historically and written by whites has been manipulated and misrepresented.  

THE OREGON MILITIA STANDOFF COMES TO AN END…

  Ammon Bundy And 7 Other Militants Arrested; 1 Killed Near Oregon Refuge

Ammon Bundy, the leader of an armed group occupying a national wildlife refuge to protest federal land policies, was among several people arrested Tuesday. Another member of the group was killed.
Ammon Bundy, leader of the group of militants that has occupied a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon for weeks, has been arrested along with seven other members of the group, including his brother, Ryan, according to federal and local law enforcement agencies.
In the wake of the arrests, police sharply boosted their presence around the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns, Ore. At least 10 people are still believed to be occupying federal property, John Sepulvado of Oregon Public Broadcasting tells NPR’s Morning Edition.
Wednesday morning, the FBI and Oregon State Police announced that they have now created a “containment” area around the refuge.
Seven of the arrests took place in Oregon; one man was arrested in Arizona.

The FBI and Oregon State Police initially arrested Bundy and four other leaders of his group in an operation that began at 4:25 p.m. local time. In that operation, a member of Bundy’s group — who has now been identified by multiple news outlets as Robert “LaVoy” Finicum — was shot and killed. Another suspect was wounded and was arrested after being taken to a hospital for treatment.
Those five arrests came as the militants were traveling to a planned meeting with community members — a drive of more than an hour and a half, Sepulvado reports. They encountered a traffic stop at which Bundy and others were taken into custody.
“His lieutenants in this were also either picked up or they fled,” Sepulvado says.
Hours later, authorities made three more arrests: two in Oregon and another in Peoria, Ariz.
Reporting early Wednesday morning from the roadside near the refuge, Sepulvado says he’s seeing “convoys of federal trucks, armored trucks, and a lot of police cars behind them, zooming to the refuge on different roads.”
That’s a change from recent weeks, he says, adding that the police vehicles were closely trailed by news vans.

NAT TURNER FILM – “THE BIRTH OF A NATION” SETS OFF BIDDING WAR AT SUNDANCE MAKING HISTORY…

Published January 26, 2016 by sheezacoldpiece

  
The Film titled “The Birth of A Nation”, written and directed by Actor Nate Parker, was no doubt a hit at the SUNDANCE Movie festival.  The movie tells the story of the 1831 slave revolt led by NAT Turner.  The film received unanimous praise at the premiere on Monday evening, and sold to Fox Searchlight for 17.5 Million dollars, a historic record for a film debut at the SUNDANCE festival.

Offers came in from the Weinstein Company, Sony, and Netflix- who’s 20 million offer would’ve allowed the film to stream on their  platform.  

Critics have described the film as ” A biographical drama steeped equally in grace and horror…that grapples fearlessly with the intense spiritual convictions that drove Turner what he had previously thought unthinkable.”  Other’s reported the movie had audience members crying in their seats, and jumping to their feet in a prolonged standing ovation at the end of the film.

  
I’m most definitely looking forward to the release of this film, and very proud of Nate Parker for writing and directing such a powerful important story in black history.  

Los Angeles Olympic Committee Dismissed the 1 Billion Dollar Plan to house Olympians in a New Village for 2024 Olympics…

Published January 26, 2016 by sheezacoldpiece

  
The hosting City for the 2024 Olympics hasn’t been decided just yet, but Los Angeles is gearing up as the decided pick. 

Los Angeles Olympic organizers on Monday said they have decided to shelve an expensive plan to build an athlete village, which had been a key feature of the city’s bid to win the 2024 summer games.

Instead The LA 2024 Committee announced the village will not be built — and that if the city becomes the host site for the world competition in eight years, the Olympic and Paralympic athletes will instead be housed at existing residential complexes at the University of California-Los Angeles and the USC residential facilities.

  
The proposed athletic villages was actually slated to cost around 2 billion dollars to build, which is well over budget not knowing if the games will be hosted here.

RAPPER “THE GAME” DONATES TO THE FLINT WATER CRISIS…SAYS OTHER CELEBS ARE “FAKE PLEDGING” TO THE CRISIS.

Published January 26, 2016 by sheezacoldpiece

  
The Game says “show some receipts” to all the celebrities claiming to help Flint, MI during this water crisis.  He provided the screenshot from his account of the 500,000 donation he made, and he’s also sending 1,000,000 bottles of water to Flint.  He posted a long rant about the crisis saying, he’s currently on tour, but would normally be more hands on with something like this since his sister lives in Flint, MI.  His sister actually responded by saying her brother doesn’t call her, or even know that she actually lives in Lansing, MI. *oops* Check out his speech via IG below…

  
  
Many thanks to “The Game” for stepping up and showing proof he cares and it’s not all about publicity for him.  We need more people who are able to help out.

  
   
Donate now to the Flint Water Crisis.
