Damn suckers falling for this crap. Yeah, it costs money to keep the reperations commission going, especially when you have charlatans making a living fleecing the sheep.<br /><br />By the way, doesn't it violate FCC rules to have third party pitching on a non commercial station without prior FCC approval (shades of Prescod and ebola)? Not that Bernard White cares. He must be so laughing at WBAI for letting him on premesis. I would be, if I were him.<br /><br />I think some of these dopes may actually think that someone is actually listening to their crap.<br /><br />WBAI, more and more marginalized every day.<br /><br />SDLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486287910626602438.post-45200719297013882812015-04-09T13:29:44.789-04:002015-04-09T13:29:44.789-04:00Well, seems someone has picked up on my comments a...Well, seems someone has picked up on my comments about WBAI on the NY radio board about WBAI and classical music.

I heard Lister Hewan-Lowe's "Burn Baby Burn" show this morning and the 1960's blather coming from this idiot's mouth is unbelievable. The guy is so full of hate that he can barely get it spewed. It's "hate whitey" and "kill the pigs", etc. etc. Even when he plays his unimaginative rap crap, he has to inject his own hate messages. This morning he also had Don DeBar on the phone, somewhat more restrained in his use of language, but equally misguided. How sis something like that ever et into the weekly schedule?<br /><br />I wonder how this loser, Lister, felt when fellow brown Caribbean Reimers summoned the "pigs" to help him forever banish Sidney (a loyal WBAI voice for 2 or 3 decades) from the station? Seeking enemy collaboration, perhaps?<br /><br />Every day, there are "black and brown" people of all ages doing fantastic, positive things that our society benefits from, but they are of no interest to these small-minded hate mongers.<br /><br />I don't know how much you know about opportunist Jesse Jackson, but he took a tainted path to go after recognition and money. Well, he is a part of the Reparations soap opera, one that seems to have roots in the Marcus Garvey scam. How can any intelligent person not feel embarrassed upon seeing Garvey dressed like a buffoon in his costume, complete with feathered hat and phony medals? It was a joke that white supremacists welcomed—they were all for this "going back to Africa" scheme, and Garvey even had a meeting with the KKK in Atlanta (1922). <br /><br />In terms of people affected by this generic ghetto revue, I think the hardest hit victims are "black and brown" Americans whose intellect is insulted by the likes of Ron Daniels and the WBAI bozos.<br /><br />Don't worry about sounding redundant—there are no new wrinkles in this scenario, just different faces trying to milk the same old cow.Chris Albertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12056345320709233401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486287910626602438.post-58467963079268421482015-04-09T01:58:52.095-04:002015-04-09T01:58:52.095-04:00Chris--You've heard of the lobsters in the buc...Chris--You've heard of the lobsters in the bucket?

I would imagine the politicos getting donations from followers, selling tickets to events, books, etc. I think people are trying to gain publicity on it, though. And, yes. The exploitation is increasing rapidly. Certainly in the past few weeks. WBAI is becoming more racist by the day. How much slavery can we hear about? Ukraine, ISIS, Nigeria, Venezuela, Mexico, etc, barely get a mention. If you trust in WBAI, you will be more ignorant of the world than watching a half hour of network news. But then, maybe that is what they want? Notice you never hear about poor quality education in the ghetto?<br /><br />I agree that they hate seeing other black people who are successful. If blacks don't exude the expected political stance, they are ignored. No Cleavon Little, Roscoe Lee Brown, etc. Fred "The Hammer" Williamson or Jim Brown? Oh, well.<br /><br />It's all very cult like. You have the paranoia, persecution, isolation, conformist ideology, etc. My guess is that behind the scenes we have black politicos trying to vie for leadership in the cult and using WBAI as a stepping stone. Al Sharpton doesn't cut it with many of the radical Ghetto Politic pack anymore. There are others blacker than him now.<br /><br />I know I am being redundant, but WWRL should be a lesson.<br /><br />SDLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486287910626602438.post-55872369701623577602015-04-09T00:32:17.574-04:002015-04-09T00:32:17.574-04:00I heard the same nonsense.

Have any of you noticed.how this exploitation is escalating, what with the gimmick books, the ghettoizing of WBAI, etc.?

They appear to hate seeing others of their race succeed and they don't even want to hear about other ethnic groups having had anything but a charmed existence.<br /><br />Amazing and sad.Chris Albertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12056345320709233401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486287910626602438.post-18640373446326308562015-04-09T00:10:45.224-04:002015-04-09T00:10:45.224-04:00I turned on WBAI a few minutes ago to be barraged ...I turned on WBAI a few minutes ago to be barraged by a laughable streak of promos for utter nonsense.

I don't think I've heard anyone talk about reparations in over 20 years. In the mid 90s I had a friend who had a T shirt that read "Reparations are Due!"

As you know, I dubbed it “Ghetto Politic.” WBAI management is self-deluded into thinking that this cult is bigger than it actually is. If they can’t figure out after 20 or so years of this stuff that it is a failure, they never will.<br /><br />The audio: <br />“De-niggerize.” Yeah, go tell all the black singers and kids to stop calling each other nigger. Good luck.<br />Linda Perry is a non-entity. I want to hear Hay-tie sing They’re Coming To Take Me Away, well, when he’s not mumbling affirmations while someone else is talking. Just dump Hay-tie and let Brown do the show alone.<br /><br />No mention of Proffitt’s hiring because WBAI seems to ignore Pastcifica activities. Personally, I think that all Pastcifica stations should have to run the PNB hootenannies and their local LSB meetings.<br /><br />"Pacifica is fixable in theory, but in practice, it's very complicated," he said. "There is a diffuse governance structure. It truly is community radio. There are divergent interests at work, and that is part of the problem, and the executive director has in many respects somewhat limited authority by his or her accountability to a very diverse board."<br /><br />Fatalistic but realistic comments. Maybe he and I think the same way, as those are my sentiments, but in different words.<br /><br />SDLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
