    I wonder if he plans on reviving the brand or is it an asset purchase for pennies on the dollar. They had a very nice studio with some great production equipment.

    I think it is funny that people like this think they can appeal to people just by having the same skin color. That in and of itself has some racist undertones. Like he legit thinks just cause he black, black people will support him. The f is he smoking?

    The same weed that Kamala Harris was smoking back in 1986 '92 when she was "listening to Tupac" in the backseat with Willie Brown.

    I was shocked when I found out he was ballin. I remember watching his first shows and they were cheesy but that man was building an empire. Sometimes you may see the beginning and look at the paper cup and string operation but the visionary sees something different.

    I gotta tip my hat for how he moved quietly. He built up like a 500 million dollar net worth, under the radar. A lot of white folks didn't know. Then an article or two came out how he was one of the biggest in entertainment but no one new. When white people write articles like that its really an alarm to whtie folks to 'watch this negro'. Its signaling. It ain't to credit him its we gotta watch him. When his name got out like that all of a sudden Comcast started hating on him. Hence his lawsuit. What I didn't like about him was he went to the black community (didn't before) to support his lawsuit and made it race based issue. He bought a black oriented site and it was nothing more than a white liberal shill. That site hated on grass roots people like Tariq Nasheed. He's been married to a Becky for years. Okay, but if you gonna do that, and want us to support you, you gotta do some pro Black ish. And he didn't. He used the black community.

    He used us just like democrats do. Once they get what they want they throw us to the side and donβ€˜t call until they need something else. I don’t see what value he brings to the black community. If his shows went off air I don’t think I’d notice.

    No FBA is watching this network. So, I fail to see the point of him buying this network when he is probably going to use the same format and the same sellout shills that are currently there. We have caught on to his game. He just wasted his money. πŸ™„

    Here is one of Roland aka "Snack Panther" Martin's fellow shills, Michael Imhotep, supporting Byron Allen's purchase of the BNC. It's amazing how he thinks that this is a good thing. πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™€οΈ

    He is going to cater to the griot and the root demographic who are FBA.

    Actually I believe it's the opposite. There are more coons than we care to truthfully acknowledge. Even in my own family, I'm shocked at how many middle class people are singing the lesser of the two evils, as if they were going to be devastated by the upcoming collapse. It's crazy!!!!


    It's the perfect buy to cater to the large segment of Blacks still willing to participate in saving a system that has consistently failed them.

    Us loves us programming. The dominant society knows their prey well, sadly.😞
