The hope is that the Supreme Court will leave the 1866 Civil Right Act alone. As Byron says, he is going to be alright.

This is bigger than Mr. Allen...it is showing how in large the black community has no wealth to pass down. We just see Black faces used as front men, for corporations, without any real power.

And this is true that's why I'm leaving leaving Xfinity because they not lieing. what they saying about these people. They even go so far as to keep adding more money on your bills.
We need more competition with these companies. I dropped cable 2 years ago. Have Spectrum for internet service only. Now that bill is starting to creep up, No explanation. Just added 4 dollars to the bill for whatever reason!

This isn't normal AT ALL! With the bastard(Trump) in position, it is even WORST!........AND I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THESE BIAS TACTICS HAPPENED BEFORE THE BASTARD CAME IN THE OVAL.
Thank you so much for reporting this...I really needed some good news today. You guys have no idea how down I am right now. But to finally see Black people at the top standing up for all of us and with each other, publically, makes me feel like it's very possible. It's possible for Black people to finally stop pretending like we are together for each other and possibly finally start doing it.
😂😂 Silque Black that is why it's very important that our young African Americans children read each and every day so when it comes time to read out loud they are able to pronounce and literally read like they are just having a conversation🤷🏾♀️
Thank you Roland for using your platform with consistently addressing the black agenda. Now it is all our duty to put in the work and stop just listening. Together we are so POWERFUL
@Jon Robert Anderson II that is the point comcast is not making them available. Limiting the subscribers that can see them which reduces the revenues of those channels.
Sidney Green Tupac was no Representative for all black ppl. Diddy owes us nothing more than to do right which is what he did. Tupac and that bullshit lifestyle was and is part of the problem with our ppl.
Jasmine Delee I’m surprised too. That being said this is in his financial interest. It shows how wealth acquisition by black individuals doesn’t necessarily mean anything for black peoples overall, but it can.
Great question. Great answer. It's what kanye was saying when he brought up his clothing company. He says he can only get so big unless you have white handlers. Gucci doesnt have handlers. Louie doesnt have handlers
the ttrailergang show well said. Two black men who know their worth. People are going to start looking at all these industries to see if we’re being represented properly in leadership.
One thing hasn't changed..money talks ..the Montgomery bus boycott worked because we were a substantial part of their revenue. If within 30 days we all dropped every cable and satellite provider until further notice Byron's lawsuit would be settled within 40 days
Wow, Diddy really put it together! I heard Byron Allen mention how Diddy is affected by Comcast’s practices when it comes to black networks and he hopes but not asking others to speak up if they didn’t want to. He was prepared to be the only voice and still push through with his case but one Comcast went after civil rights, it became much more deeper than black owed companies not getting their share and I’m glad others are now speaking up. As Roland said, what good is a record label if the music is not hitting the right demographics that would actually listen to it. Your set to fail. Again good for Diddy and the others. As Roland also mentioned, who came to the table with these black owed networks when negotiating their contracts, dis they demand that their networks be handled in a way that would get them the most viewership and not just be thankful for the opportunity. Maybe they didn’t know the games Comcast plays, others may have know exactly what they were getting and satisfied BUT as one network said, they still haven’t gotten what they were promised. Meaning they been bamboozled. I hope Byron Allen’s Cade goes all the way and some good for blacks comes out of this when it comes to this topic.
Hats off to Diddy and the Africa Channel. I wouldn't have expected Diddy to make a powerful PRO-BLACK statement such as this in a million years. Big props to him on this one.👏👏👏💯💯💯
I’m white and a huge political junkie and studying law/policy as an undergrad and i haven’t seen any coverage of this anywhere else or heard anything about it, great coverage thank you. This needs to be brought up in the context of the rising resurgence of anti-monopoly sentiment, mostly with the sanders and warren wing of the dems, but also to a lesser extent in the Republican Party with people like senator Josh hawley and saagar enjeti of the rising CZcams channel. The specific legal issue here is a civil rights one but in terms of policy making more skepticism of anti-competitive consolidation and stronger requirements for black businesses being able to be competitive as a requirement for mergers is needed etc. , *and ultimately business practices like this should not be allowed* . Corporate media consolidation enabled by bill Clinton and the dems and Obama’s continuance of that fealty to big business has directly contributed to this. Also interesting because as I see in the comments I’m not the only one surprised Diddy actually stood up for this, he deserves serious appreciation, because this illustrates how it’s very possible for super rich black ppl to run businesses and make money without actually gaining the substantive power to change anything in society. So diddy chose to stand up for this anyways and they certainly have a financial incentive about this but still the point is black ownership and wealth doesn’t necessarily translate to larger societal good, but it can. Important nuances It’s unbelievable to me that they just had this dem debate in Tyler Perry’s studio and no issues around this were brought up by anyone. MSNBC is trash, and the fact they have black anchors and commentators doesn’t change that one bit.
Welcome to the black room F Z...but don't let this surprise you...Black people have been telling you guys for decades how we have been treated, redlining, hiring discrimination, stolen invention ideas, false police reports...but you don't see it on the news, so you don't believe it. Well, hope this helps you somehow...
Yacob the Hebrew Lol thanks for the welcome I really do like watching Roland for that reason though, it is like being in the real black room. It’s hard to get different perspectives because most black commentators I see work for Comcast and NBC! So they represent the kind of establishment version of black opinion and I don’t like or trust them mostly. They talk about police shootings and viral videos of racism but they don’t talk about anything that could threaten the interests of their huge corporate employers. I might take the check too but point is that’s why most people don’t see this kind of issue, and why independent media, black owned and otherwise is so important.
Don't trash MSNBC because Republicans and fox definitely don't have our best interest at heart. I knew a comment like this was eventually going to come out in your statement that's why I read the whole thing. I usually don't because usually people screw themselves in the first few lines.
Rfreeman yes. And MSNBC is trash too, they have black hosts and guests but they almost all lockstep support the worst establishment democrats like Clinton and Biden who are just as responsible for mass incarceration as republicans (if not more, Reagan vetoed one of Biden’s crime bills), and supported the corporate media consolidation in the 90s that led to comcast having this near monopoly power over distribution. This shows how being “moderate” and pro big business is inherently anti black and anti competitive.
@@Unclejamsarmy okay Master Putin..we hear you loud and clear 🙌.. even though black folks mostly get in there own damn way... Stop blaming everyone for your own problems..
Joyce Greene I don’t understand what you’re saying, why would Putin care about cable monopolies in the US ? Comcast became a behemoth that makes content and is the middleman that decides which content gets allowed to be distributed. That should be illegal. They got to this point through a series of mergers in the Clinton admin and under bush. People Voting for democrats and republicans in the pocket of big business is a big part of why this lawsuit is now happening. Obama was a bit better on this, still not great. We need to break up companies like this, and that’d make the economy better for workers and consumers generally, but it’d also give black business people a much better chance of actually competing based on merit rather than who has power to gatekeep
*FK* that sellout a** clown with a perm. Notice how visable he is at blk. events now that MSNBC doesn't need his a** anymore - Obama's out of office & thus his services were no longer needed.

thank you for highlighting these issues. Mr Diddy we salute you. Now I know about Revolt TV thanks to you speaking up for economic inclusion for Black entrepreneurs
I agree partly if what you're saying, everything is about money when it comes to certain people, don't be mistaken by the narratives that they put in front of you. Money and CONTROL.
Very good reporting Roland! Your interview with Byron Allen as well as this broadcast was explosive. This is all we were ever trying to say. I must admit I was disapointed with Juliane Malveaux's commentary on your show regarding Mr Allen. However, I am very glad you are bringing light educating into great detail on this. Kudos.
To be honest, I just heard of Revolt THIS YEAR. and I don’t know anyone else that has known about Revolt before that. If the support was bigger, I would have heard about it long before.
I wonder can they target steaming apps for distributing their content. Then through social media and advertising folks can drop cable and switch to streaming tv you want.
Mr Martin, once again, I want to thank you for your programming once again. As I’ve identified myself before, I’m a 61 year old white cis male and my pronouns are he/him. I escaped my racist family and environment by joining the USAF. I have been the victim of racism from three sides. Escaping a violent father who had literally pistol whipped me, I left Florida to finish high school in Ga. i was almost immediately ostracized as I started dating “a black girl.” She was from New Jersey and moved there about the same time I did. We never thought about we had different skin color. Neither of us ever cared about color. Our eyes worked, we saw color, Other things were far more important. Her voice sounded so close to Michael Jackson, we were his age back then. But she knew every “Motown” song I loved. Two songs had great meaning for me, Ben and Bill Withers song Lean on Me. My heart melted when she sang Lean On Me. Both man racial groups were extremely angry and took it out on me because our skin color did not match. When I attended a part of first grade and all of 4th grade, my Great Grandmother being Cherokee was an issue with some parents. That is why I’m writing to you. Both black and white males together tried to completely extinguish every Native American tribe living between the Appalachians to the Rockys. White males took their first slaves in 1607, 12 years before African males and females were sold to white settlers in 1619. However, First Nations Experience is the only national network here in the US. It is only available in 25 states and you must look hard to find it. FNX is available only in small pockets of 24 of those states. North Dakota is the 25th state and it is available state wide. If anyone ever reads this, and I doubt anyone ever will, please ask your local cable distributor to carry it. If you care about diversity, please watch some programming on every station mentioned on Mr. Martin’s show today. He cuts a powerful figure in the mold of pastors I’ve admired most in my lifetime. Personally, I think his show is part of my top five on all of CZcams.

Loved Diddy statement. I felt it was very credible to Byron's case. I'm concerned about Boyce Watkins posting videos That seems to discredit Byron Allen. I made comments after I listened to him. Telling him that his consistently trying to discredit Byron is quite questionable and full of jealousy of Byron's progression. I notice my comments were deleted. I made the comments again. It was deleted. I went on another one of Boyce' s pages and told him that if it's deleted he would be reported to CZcams. That one stayed. I
This situation should be a springboard to black media moguls to come together with a strategy to get our own distribution entity. TAKE OVER. Become the ONE they have to answer to. Become their rival.

As black people we can do more than one thing at a time. Walking and chewing gum at the same time is not an issue. African Americans will continue to aim for our enslaved African parents hope for their children here and abroad. Diddy is letting them know not only do we sing and dance but we are also intellectuals

White privilege. Not hard to get in a system designed to exclude people of color, mainly Indigenous Nations, Black, and Brown people. If American History wasn't mythology created by victors to hide and glorify their crimes against humanity, this would not be hard to figure out.

I gave cable the finger years ago. It's a rip off. We were paying an arm and a leg for service that didn't work. I saw the cable guy at my uncle's house and took all the boxes & remotes to his van and told him to tell Charter to kiss my ass! I didn't even tell him who I was. I called Dish on my cell as I walked across the field back to my mom's house. That was in 2006.
I learned a lot watching this segment. I dropped Comcast years ago, b/c my monthly bill kept skyrocketing b/c they were illegally charging me for old cable boxes that I had turned in years prior, when I upgraded my equipment. Comcast was later sued for doing this on a massive scale to subscribers. When I first signed up for Comcast, BET was not part of the basic package and I challenged Comcast as to why numerous times. I had no idea there were a lot more minority networks that I couldn't find on my TV, because were only available on the top tier packages that I couldn't afford. For people who get upset when minorities want to have something that is solely their own, this is a perfect example as to why.
Yes!!! Speak the truth very loudly my people!!! This country has broke every promise they made to us as a people to to succeed. I'm rooting for Bryon Allen's lawsuit. We will see if the Supreme Court will act accordingly to the law that was made in 1866.

And this is true that's why I'm leaving leaving Xfinity because they not lieing. what they saying about these people. They even go so far as to keep adding more money on your bills.
Yes
We need more competition with these companies. I dropped cable 2 years ago. Have Spectrum for internet service only. Now that bill is starting to creep up, No explanation. Just added 4 dollars to the bill for whatever reason!
Samone Talley That’s true. My bill is too high to just have basic cable.
My Comcast bill is 35$ a month and don't goes up!!
Sharrieff Bradley Wow....help.😩
If you leave us alone, we’ll be great
If you pull back the fake love, you’ll see hate
If you tell us to do better, we’ll demonstrate
If you simply leave us along, we’ll be great!
Say that!!
Monique Crawley 😂
Yesssss! Leave us alone, dang!!!
God in flesh, the geometry says it all.
It's close to the fourth year,
the clown car is coming.
He he he!
Vote. Vote. Vote. Me!
All ya'll who have these cable services- need to drop them immediately. Don't show nothing but the same old crap anyway.
Facts they repeat the same channels over and over again 1thru 50 then 100 thru 150 is the same channels. then there give you 200 thru 250 hell this the same channel as 1thru 50 now they tell me I get 250 channels for 180dollars a month
I’m happy Diddy spoke out! More people need to support Bro. Byron.
I am not boycotting Byron Allen, who has always been obsessed with white people, but Black businesses in general. If this were about Byron Allen I frankly wouldn't give a damn.
I am so excited for what is about to evolve out of Comcast and Charter being exposed. This is going to change TV forever
"A people united can never be defeated"! So true!! Stand firm guys and dont give up. Anything worth winning is WORTH fighting for!!!💕💯
2019 we are still fighting for equal rights
This isn't normal AT ALL! With the bastard(Trump) in position, it is even WORST!........AND I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THESE BIAS TACTICS HAPPENED BEFORE THE BASTARD CAME IN THE OVAL.
I'nt that sad.
Byron Allen is about to revolutionize Black Television
Thank you so much for reporting this...I really needed some good news today. You guys have no idea how down I am right now. But to finally see Black people at the top standing up for all of us and with each other, publically, makes me feel like it's very possible. It's possible for Black people to finally stop pretending like we are together for each other and possibly finally start doing it.
LOVE this! THIS is how we make change! We come together and make it happen!
our black dollars fuel this economy which means we are the most powerful force for change in the US if we would only come together as one...
💣💣💣
Thanks goodness, Roland knows how to read effectively and to enunciate words where needed. That in itself is a gift.
😂😂 Silque Black that is why it's very important that our young African Americans children read each and every day so when it comes time to read out loud they are able to pronounce and literally read like they are just having a conversation🤷🏾♀️
That said this video brought to you under a grammatically incorrect racist title.
We need to band together like this all the time
Comcast used the "I got Black friends" defense
Thank you Roland for using your platform with consistently addressing the black agenda. Now it is all our duty to put in the work and stop just listening. Together we are so POWERFUL
Well done Diddy ✊🏿🤜🏿👏🏿
Didn't know Diddy had a channel. Where the hell have I been??
You got it mixed up Paula Madison owns the Africa Channel, Diddy owns Revolt
Kisha Green Doesn’t he owns Revolt
@@MOETtelevision according to roland. I never heard of the channel.
@Jon Robert Anderson II that is the point comcast is not making them available. Limiting the subscribers that can see them which reduces the revenues of those channels.
You not by urself,,, shucks I did,nt know either!!!!! Its strange how things were kept quiet on that!!!! Hum🤔🤔🤔
I appreciate his question, I wasn’t sure about the argument. Why not start our own network... clarity
I didn't know he could stand up for anything that wasn't making hem any money...💪💪💪💪
He owes black people for what went down with Tupac so it's best he stand for blacks
Sidney Green Tupac was no Representative for all black ppl. Diddy owes us nothing more than to do right which is what he did. Tupac and that bullshit lifestyle was and is part of the problem with our ppl.
Wow puff daddy , i mean puffy , i mean dirty diddy money ,oh p diddy wrote that. Didn't know he was such a good publisher
@@sidneygreen3535 just think before you type please!
Jasmine Delee I’m surprised too. That being said this is in his financial interest. It shows how wealth acquisition by black individuals doesn’t necessarily mean anything for black peoples overall, but it can.
I’m glad that man had questions about why we can’t start our own. Roland broke it down.
I have that part on replay so I can understand what was said
Great question. Great answer. It's what kanye was saying when he brought up his clothing company. He says he can only get so big unless you have white handlers. Gucci doesnt have handlers. Louie doesnt have handlers
the ttrailergang show well said. Two black men who know their worth. People are going to start looking at all these industries to see if we’re being represented properly in leadership.
Go head' Diddy! This is how we come together. What affects Byron in this case affects us all. If there was ever a time for unity it is now.
One thing hasn't changed..money talks ..the Montgomery bus boycott worked because we were a substantial part of their revenue. If within 30 days we all dropped every cable and satellite provider until further notice Byron's lawsuit would be settled within 40 days
Exactly
Say it again for the ones in the back!
done this, long long time ago.
This case will be a historical monumental change in life and will break their hold on the atrium of African American gain, wealth and legacy
Thank you, Roland Martin, for bringing us this information.
Egbert Carr Check out Antonio Moore and Yvette Carnell, they have been covering this for a minute.
Wow, Diddy really put it together! I heard Byron Allen mention how Diddy is affected by Comcast’s practices when it comes to black networks and he hopes but not asking others to speak up if they didn’t want to. He was prepared to be the only voice and still push through with his case but one Comcast went after civil rights, it became much more deeper than black owed companies not getting their share and I’m glad others are now speaking up. As Roland said, what good is a record label if the music is not hitting the right demographics that would actually listen to it. Your set to fail. Again good for Diddy and the others.
As Roland also mentioned, who came to the table with these black owed networks when negotiating their contracts, dis they demand that their networks be handled in a way that would get them the most viewership and not just be thankful for the opportunity. Maybe they didn’t know the games Comcast plays, others may have know exactly what they were getting and satisfied BUT as one network said, they still haven’t gotten what they were promised. Meaning they been bamboozled. I hope Byron Allen’s Cade goes all the way and some good for blacks comes out of this when it comes to this topic.
💣💣💣
Hats off to Diddy and the Africa Channel. I wouldn't have expected Diddy to make a powerful PRO-BLACK statement such as this in a million years. Big props to him on this one.👏👏👏💯💯💯

I’m white and a huge political junkie and studying law/policy as an undergrad and i haven’t seen any coverage of this anywhere else or heard anything about it, great coverage thank you. This needs to be brought up in the context of the rising resurgence of anti-monopoly sentiment, mostly with the sanders and warren wing of the dems, but also to a lesser extent in the Republican Party with people like senator Josh hawley and saagar enjeti of the rising CZcams channel. The specific legal issue here is a civil rights one but in terms of policy making more skepticism of anti-competitive consolidation and stronger requirements for black businesses being able to be competitive as a requirement for mergers is needed etc. , *and ultimately business practices like this should not be allowed* . Corporate media consolidation enabled by bill Clinton and the dems and Obama’s continuance of that fealty to big business has directly contributed to this.
Also interesting because as I see in the comments I’m not the only one surprised Diddy actually stood up for this, he deserves serious appreciation, because this illustrates how it’s very possible for super rich black ppl to run businesses and make money without actually gaining the substantive power to change anything in society. So diddy chose to stand up for this anyways and they certainly have a financial incentive about this but still the point is black ownership and wealth doesn’t necessarily translate to larger societal good, but it can. Important nuances
It’s unbelievable to me that they just had this dem debate in Tyler Perry’s studio and no issues around this were brought up by anyone. MSNBC is trash, and the fact they have black anchors and commentators doesn’t change that one bit.
Welcome to the black room F Z...but don't let this surprise you...Black people have been telling you guys for decades how we have been treated, redlining, hiring discrimination, stolen invention ideas, false police reports...but you don't see it on the news, so you don't believe it. Well, hope this helps you somehow...
Yacob the Hebrew Lol thanks for the welcome I really do like watching Roland for that reason though, it is like being in the real black room. It’s hard to get different perspectives because most black commentators I see work for Comcast and NBC! So they represent the kind of establishment version of black opinion and I don’t like or trust them mostly. They talk about police shootings and viral videos of racism but they don’t talk about anything that could threaten the interests of their huge corporate employers. I might take the check too but point is that’s why most people don’t see this kind of issue, and why independent media, black owned and otherwise is so important.
Don't trash MSNBC because Republicans and fox definitely don't have our best interest at heart. I knew a comment like this was eventually going to come out in your statement that's why I read the whole thing. I usually don't because usually people screw themselves in the first few lines.
I got rid of high ass Xfinity last year. So glad I did.
Rev Al. Needs to release a statement. He signed the MOU and benefits from having his show on MSNBC regardless of its ratings.
Rfreeman yes. And MSNBC is trash too, they have black hosts and guests but they almost all lockstep support the worst establishment democrats like Clinton and Biden who are just as responsible for mass incarceration as republicans (if not more, Reagan vetoed one of Biden’s crime bills), and supported the corporate media consolidation in the 90s that led to comcast having this near monopoly power over distribution. This shows how being “moderate” and pro big business is inherently anti black and anti competitive.
@@Unclejamsarmy okay Master Putin..we hear you loud and clear 🙌.. even though black folks mostly get in there own damn way... Stop blaming everyone for your own problems..
Joyce Greene I don’t understand what you’re saying, why would Putin care about cable monopolies in the US ? Comcast became a behemoth that makes content and is the middleman that decides which content gets allowed to be distributed. That should be illegal. They got to this point through a series of mergers in the Clinton admin and under bush. People Voting for democrats and republicans in the pocket of big business is a big part of why this lawsuit is now happening. Obama was a bit better on this, still not great. We need to break up companies like this, and that’d make the economy better for workers and consumers generally, but it’d also give black business people a much better chance of actually competing based on merit rather than who has power to gatekeep
*FK* that sellout a** clown with a perm. Notice how visable he is at blk. events now that MSNBC doesn't need his a** anymore - Obama's out of office & thus his services were no longer needed.

I love your knowledge of "The Business" of Tv and Cable Roland. Thank you Brother.
These responses are powerful. Tears of pride, that is I.
This made my early morning.
Shout out to diddy for standing with byron allen for real
RUn iT, Sir Roland S. Martin: TELL THEM ABOUT THE REALNESS yo!
..finally, speaking with one voice..progress!
how about boycott until they change, they show mess anyway with reruns.
THERE IS BOTH DISCRIMINATION AND BOTH ANTITRUST LAWS THAT ADDRESS THIS MATTER.
YEP Rodriguez also spoke out and agreed with Diddy. Where's Magic Johnson
I think Magic owns the network Roland mentioned may be for sale, ASPIRE. If so he doesn't want any perceived negative attention to affect the sale.
I had heard two people spoke up.. but daaayymm they really spoke up.. This is really cooperation and moving on one accord.. Very Powerful. And these news is being delivered my brother Martin. Supa official.
The moment you realize Elijah Muhammad & the NOI may have ACTUALLY had a point.
They had many 'points' read the books (message to the Black man) and (how to eat to live.)
@@raythomas2502 Oh, I know. I was being sarcastic. All anyone has to do (whether they like it or not) is look at any devout NOI member who’s been in for a year...let alone 50 years...& see the proof. Clean living & clean eating...walking proof.
Sounds Like Comcast Is About To Fall! Amen and Amen 🙏🏽
That's why I was so angry at Don Barden for selling Barton Cablevision to Comcast
This is great so many are speaking out. This show and telling this story let’s the community know what’s really at stake. Thank you.
Very informative Bro. Roland! Thank you✅
thank you for highlighting these issues. Mr Diddy we salute you. Now I know about Revolt TV thanks to you speaking up for economic inclusion for Black entrepreneurs
So doesn't Revolt, TAC, TV One, Grio and Tyler Perry studios combine forces and do their own thing?
And where would they get distribution? They can control studios and channels, but there is a monopoly on the AIRWAVES!
I agree !!!
@Alexis Massey We have to dismantle the monopoly.
Distribution would still be needed.. 💭 The guy at 16:25 asked the same thing..
Cable has 10 to 15 to go, even my old mom learning to use amazon video
Thank you for showing this! I have a better understanding of the Supreme Court case now
Tell'em Diddy!
14:25 👍👍💣 💥💥 SO DAMN TRUE
We need black platform 16:45
The control of information and television is power ,,,this has nothing to do with money ..
I agree partly if what you're saying, everything is about money when it comes to certain people, don't be mistaken by the narratives that they put in front of you. Money and CONTROL.

Very good reporting Roland! Your interview with Byron Allen as well as this broadcast was explosive. This is all we were ever trying to say. I must admit I was disapointed with Juliane Malveaux's commentary on your show regarding Mr Allen. However, I am very glad you are bringing light educating into great detail on this. Kudos.
I enjoyed this segment. It was informational, egos were in check and I think we were all educated.
💣💣💣
To be honest, I just heard of Revolt THIS YEAR. and I don’t know anyone else that has known about Revolt before that. If the support was bigger, I would have heard about it long before.
I wish they could ban together & go online. I'd drop half the subscriptions I have for tv that caters directly to me.
Oww much respect. The intelligence of this letter.
I wonder can they target steaming apps for distributing their content. Then through social media and advertising folks can drop cable and switch to streaming tv you want.
A lot of folks already have and once Comcast becomes a major monopoly in the industry they will control or shut down your ability to stream.
@@stonedapegaming7745 hence them pushing for Net Neutrality right..?
roland i edited your convo with bryon and sent it to diddy.....i wish byron could have went longer with you...but hey now its coming out more
Pale speak with a fork tongue. That what the native Americans say.
Mr Martin, once again, I want to thank you for your programming once again. As I’ve identified myself before, I’m a 61 year old white cis male and my pronouns are he/him. I escaped my racist family and environment by joining the USAF. I have been the victim of racism from three sides. Escaping a violent father who had literally pistol whipped me, I left Florida to finish high school in Ga. i was almost immediately ostracized as I started dating “a black girl.” She was from New Jersey and moved there about the same time I did. We never thought about we had different skin color. Neither of us ever cared about color. Our eyes worked, we saw color, Other things were far more important. Her voice sounded so close to Michael Jackson, we were his age back then. But she knew every “Motown” song I loved. Two songs had great meaning for me, Ben and Bill Withers song Lean on Me. My heart melted when she sang Lean On Me. Both man racial groups were extremely angry and took it out on me because our skin color did not match. When I attended a part of first grade and all of 4th grade, my Great Grandmother being Cherokee was an issue with some parents.
That is why I’m writing to you. Both black and white males together tried to completely extinguish every Native American tribe living between the Appalachians to the Rockys. White males took their first slaves in 1607, 12 years before African males and females were sold to white settlers in 1619.
However, First Nations Experience is the only national network here in the US. It is only available in 25 states and you must look hard to find it. FNX is available only in small pockets of 24 of those states. North Dakota is the 25th state and it is available state wide. If anyone ever reads this, and I doubt anyone ever will, please ask your local cable distributor to carry it. If you care about diversity, please watch some programming on every station mentioned on Mr. Martin’s show today. He cuts a powerful figure in the mold of pastors I’ve admired most in my lifetime. Personally, I think his show is part of my top five on all of CZcams.
A messy bit of shenanigans by Comcast!!
DIDDY REALLY STOOD UP! This is teamwork yall. Pay attention!

Comcast to the courts: We meet our minority quota tell him to leave us alone
Sad just sad!
Ha ha Comcast. You thought you had a token. Turns out you are a day late and a dollar short. Praying for brother Allen to win his case.
Why have we not heard from Oprah or Tyler Perry about this?
Loved Diddy statement. I felt it was very credible to Byron's case.
I'm concerned about Boyce Watkins posting videos That seems to discredit Byron Allen.
I made comments after I listened to him.
Telling him that his consistently trying to discredit Byron is quite questionable and full of jealousy of Byron's progression.
I notice my comments were deleted.
I made the comments again. It was deleted.
I went on another one of Boyce' s pages and told him that if it's deleted he would be reported to CZcams.
That one stayed.
I
Shouldn't be surprised he is one them like sharpton.
This situation should be a springboard to black media moguls to come together with a strategy to get our own distribution entity. TAKE OVER. Become the ONE they have to answer to. Become their rival.
@Breezlee Now that's an idea, but the one's that have the capital to do so also think about a decent return on their investment. and the fear of targeted destruction
@@brianbridges1401 I don't think these successful black billionaires are afraid of losing their investment more than maybe it hasn't crossed their minds up until this point. These are seasoned performance proven business mogul who could change the game in a big way.

Drop Comcast and get DirectTV
No...Drop them both and get a Firestick!
Hell no DirecTV is a straight scam
As black people we can do more than one thing at a time. Walking and chewing gum at the same time is not an issue.

People, at 8:15 p.m. last night November 23, 2019, Sheriff "Big John" Williams was shot in the head by 2 white boys in the birthplace of the Black Panther Party, Lowndes County, Alabama. This is sad yall. Big John was a credit not just to the black race, but to mankind. God bless you Sheriff and thank you for your incredible service
😟😟😞😞😢😢😭😭💔💔He was probably shot for no reason smh!!
Just leave and put your stuff on an app... like I don’t get it. If someone doesn’t show me respect no matter how much money. I ain’t dealing with them!!! Period!
White privilege. Not hard to get in a system designed to exclude people of color, mainly Indigenous Nations, Black, and Brown people. If American History wasn't mythology created by victors to hide and glorify their crimes against humanity, this would not be hard to figure out.
Diddy said not today, I'm not Jay Z, y'all not gonna use me to shit on us. Diddy gave straight facts clear as glass so no one is confused. 🗣🗣🗣Comcast playing dirty will backfire on them. Every black person should just drop Comcast already, they over charge anyway.

It's crazy how a public figure tell people to keep their name out there mouth
Thank you Roland I appreciate all you do, we Truly need individuals like yourself as our Voice and Knowledge Provider! Your Great.
I gave cable the finger years ago. It's a rip off. We were paying an arm and a leg for service that didn't work. I saw the cable guy at my uncle's house and took all the boxes & remotes to his van and told him to tell Charter to kiss my ass! I didn't even tell him who I was. I called Dish on my cell as I walked across the field back to my mom's house. That was in 2006.
I have internet through xfinity/comcast, never have changed my package and my bill keeps increasing. I started out paying $56 a month and now it's $92
I learned a lot watching this segment. I dropped Comcast years ago, b/c my monthly bill kept skyrocketing b/c they were illegally charging me for old cable boxes that I had turned in years prior, when I upgraded my equipment. Comcast was later sued for doing this on a massive scale to subscribers. When I first signed up for Comcast, BET was not part of the basic package and I challenged Comcast as to why numerous times. I had no idea there were a lot more minority networks that I couldn't find on my TV, because were only available on the top tier packages that I couldn't afford. For people who get upset when minorities want to have something that is solely their own, this is a perfect example as to why.
Dang, this old cable box thing seems to be a recurring issue.. 👀
Yes!!! Speak the truth very loudly my people!!! This country has broke every promise they made to us as a people to to succeed. I'm rooting for Bryon Allen's lawsuit. We will see if the Supreme Court will act accordingly to the law that was made in 1866.
