Byron Allen, the CEO of Entertainment Studios, continued his attacks on Al Sharpton in light of a discrimination lawsuit Allen and other African-American media owners filed against Comcast and Time Warner Cable. The suit alleges that despite calling itself a diverse company, Comcast and TWC only carry one black-owned channel, and that Sharpton is “a sham, undertaken to whitewash Comcast’s discriminatory business practices.”
More specifically, Allen contends that Comcast gave Sharpton a primetime TV show on MSNBC — “despite notoriously low ratings” — in exchange for Sharpton’s public support for Comcast on issues of diversity, an area where Allen says the company severely lacks.
Appearing on Reliable Sources Sunday morning, Allen told Brian Stelter that Sharpton does not speak for him or any black people, saying it is racist to even think that Sharpton is the “go-to person” for African-Americans. He also went after Sony for supposedly believing sitting down with Sharpton “negates” its employees’ racist emails uncovered last December about President Barack Obama.
Allen also alleged that AT&T spent more money on Sharpton’s 60th birthday party than they spent on Ebony Magazine. Companies like Walmart, Chrysler, and McDonalds do not do business with Allen and other African-Americans, he said, because Sharpton is the “least expensive Negro” — a claim that Stelter immediately pounced on. But Allen went even further.
According to Allen, companies like Comcast have the following mentality (an assertion that Stelter did not challenge): “don’t do business with real African-American-owned companies, just give him 50,000 and a bucket of chicken and we’re good. We won’t have any problems with real African-American-owned media.” Allen went on to call Sharpton the “shakedown,” while he is the “legitimate entrepreneur” and a victim of Comcast’s “financial genocide.” His criticism, though, was not just reserved for Sharpton.

Why do I love this. Black on black hate, it’s a terrible thing to waste. And that bucket of chicken crack is priceless. Only a negro could use that. hehe
So, let me get this straight. Blacks dislike other blacks because of money and diversity is a problem because the money in the game is going the wrong way?
Okay… Got it. I think…
Willing to bet Comcast hired this guy on the sly to give them cover to get rid of Sharpton. Watch this thing get settled quickly, with Comcast picking up a bunch of black-owned channels, once Sharpton is toast. Quid pro quo.
“Financial genocide?” Apparently being a “legitimate entrepreneur” includes crying ‘racism!’ as one of its’ tools. The whole thing is hilarious.
Blacks seem to hate everyone, take this video, where a black woman goes off on some shopkeepers because they charge 20c for bottled water, she starts talking about slavery, racism, reparations and how THEY build those damn water pipes…
And the funny thing? The shopkeepers are also black! Actual African immigrants, but that doesn’t count as far the ghetto queen is concerned, hence the yelling:

“$50K and a Bucket of Chicken.” Al Sharpton is scum, but this guy sounds like he’s just another flavor of race hustlers.
My guess is Comcast has a deal with BET to not put the other networks on their system. That’s dicey so they bought Sharpton as riot insurance. The problem with the Cult of Modern Liberalism is it is riddled with internal contradictions. It’s also a bit of a black box, even to members of the cult. It’s a religion that will tear itself apart in time.
