When I listened to Steve Harvey’s show this past week for the first time in a while they were trying to resolve this stupid woman’s elementary love problem. Some sh… deep seated hatred for black men. He is also the kind of guy who would disown his daughter if
To start, we talked about the Glenn Beck situation yesterday on the Frank and Wanda Morning Show on V103 Atlanta. What I would like to see is a total Urban Media and Public outcry of disgust for what Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and The Sean Hannitys are using their airways for. We need Local and National Urban Radio Rally. The same Urban Radio Engine that got President Obama Elected, is the same engine we need to use to limit this pubic hatred for poor blacks and Latinos in America.
I am a firm believer in “Free Speech”, but at what cost? Not at the cost of a life. In a slick underlying way, they are basically asking for some nut case to Assassinate the President. What these Radio Shows are doing by spewing these lies and hatred tones is incredible.
President Obama has been in office 200 days. And for the same 200 days, Rush and Sean have been bashing Obama every step of the way. Twisting and Lying to increase the call volume, thus increasing the ratings. So they make millions of dollars tearing people and communities down? How can a person with that much power be allowed to used Public Airways to say “I Hope Obama Fails” or “The Government wants to pull your dying relative off Life Support”. Are you serious? Now these nuts are bringing guns to political rallies using the “Right To Bear Arms” as an excuse. Is this Hollywood? When are we gonna say Enough is Enough?
Our country will never have the Race Conversation that is needed as long as we continue to allow Public Airways to be used as a Social Lynching Stations.
I want to create a Great America for my children. This is not a corn field where we need to “Burn it Down” to fertilize the land. I am not afraid to tell the truth and if we need to march on the FCC in Washington, I’m down!

Great points both Frank and Mark. Frank V103 is excused I have said many times in this blog that I consider V103 one of the best stations in the country and a great example that community oriented programming DOES work. Mark, you know you are right. Where do we go when we want to be intellectually stimulated on the urban radio dial overall? That’s a very sad reality

And YOUR radio talk show host duties start WHEN? Man! Have YOU got some balls! I love it, though! Racism will NEVER die . . . the face of it just keeps changing. I’ve always been amused at how it takes a speeding car full of White racists to call one Black man walking down the street “Nigga” . . . . only ONE Black Man. Imagine the fear of a group of Black Men pulling together for equality and fairness. Wow. WHAT IS IT that makes so many in White America think that because their skin is less pigmented than ours, that its “okay” to treat us as being less than they are? And this covert and more times than not, overt, way of thinking will NEVER change until PEOPLE are willing to accept the fact that we ALL belong to the Human Race. This warped way of thinking and living will NEVER change until more of us band together and stare racism down and let the world know that it will NOT be tolerated in ANY of its many forms. We need to use ALL forms of mediums to get the word out. Unfortunately, the fear of retaliation still looms large. Well, if you can’t shout it from a mountain top, find yourself a hill.
IT’s a SHAME that Tom Joyner, Steve Harvey, and Michael Baisden Won’t Touch nothing in terms if neo-con talk radio. Howver, they spew all other trash on their shows that”s senseless.
They need to start defending Our president, and start taking a stand. If they do not use their powers NOW, we could be looking at a one term african american president.
Right wing radio, is out to destroy our president, WAKE-UP NOW….Tom Joyner, Steve Harvey, and Michael Baisden……get real and tough with the neo-con radio jocks!

Tom Joyner,Steve Harvey,Rickey Smiley,Michael Baisden{who makes it clear that he’s for all races}Russ Parr,they need to stop the foolishness.There are too many important issues facing our community.Fox is not about news only racist views from racist white people would spell news to save they’re lives.They promote hate against black people and they hate Obama and love Bush and they made it they’re goal in life to trash this man and his family.Fox wouldn’t this hard on Clinton.Some of these black jocks are on the air to sell services and goods and to push they’re comedian’s side kick next show or they’re own big event ,that some of us can’t afford to come.
