(That is called a premium for all of you used to the illegally ripped CDs from WBAI) There is a story in his early life where he helped collect debts for some local businessman. Instead of waiting to be billed, the businessman gave him a token amount as if he was rewarding a child for running an errand. Dees ripped up the check. His father who was a farmer was livid and told his son you don't act that way towards people like that businessman. Dees stood firm. He just wasn't going to accept that kind of treatment. I remember that about him because he could easily have led a comfortable life as a lawyer but he chose to go in another direction.<br /><br />Chris: Anything interesting come out of the PNB meeting yesterday?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486287910626602438.post-33733166038012409912016-05-06T21:52:17.019-04:002016-05-06T21:52:17.019-04:00It must be dawning on them, the reparations moment...It must be dawning on them, the reparations momentum Ron Daniels is trying to fuel seems to have been deflated somewhat. The activity, if one can call it that, appears to be coming from one of those Jamaican "knights"—shades of vintage scammer Garvey. In fact, Daniels' hyperbolical rants strike me as having been scripted in the islands.<br /><br />Apropos irony, I find it amusing—in a pathetic sort of way—that the bigoted BAI bozos profess to be fighting for equality, determined to combat racism. Yet all they do is fuel the kind of crap Trump preaches.<br /><br />The fact that their racist attitude has scared of rather than attracted listeners should have told them something, but a rag doll in the front office would be as useful as Reimers is and we are talking bout a crew that has no vision or creativity. They are not slow learners, they are no learners. If you listen to Haskins on any given day, he will make it abundantly clear that three decades + at WBAI has taught him noting. Listen to his inability to maintain a reasonably uniform volume, for example. He can't, and that is basic.<br /><br />Utter idiots and con artists.Chris Albertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12056345320709233401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486287910626602438.post-5793803335652700772016-05-06T19:29:20.629-04:002016-05-06T19:29:20.629-04:00You know what the ultimate irony of all the slaver...You know what the ultimate irony of all the slavery-reparations stuff is?

What we can see is that the entirety of Native American culture, nations, traditions, were destroyed. The destruction of the Native Americans in the USA was certainly one of the - if not the - most thorough destructions of a people or peoples in history. And if we look at the present, the destruction continues. Too bad WBAI has jerks like Kane or Ghosthorse instead of real intelligent activists on the air to represent this tragedy.<br /><br />SDLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486287910626602438.post-21988608905996357682016-05-06T18:50:43.729-04:002016-05-06T18:50:43.729-04:00Sounds like Ward Churchill sock-puppet.

Remember when these people tried to discredit John Kerry? They are execrable, venomous screwballs who will stop at nothing to accomplish their hateful mission.<br /><br />Doing good inevitably sparks the kind of hatred these societal misfits spew. Remember the lies they came up with to stop John Kerry? They even formed a bogus group called "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth."

Blacks and Jews have worked closely for a good purpose, however, Jews use their religion to get over and to damage the society through genital mutilation of boys. It was a sneaky way of introducing circumcision to the society. It has caused lasting harm to society.

Is the station's leitmotif racism? Yes, but not one borne entirely out of ethnic bias. You have a station occupied and dominated by people who have little or nothing to offer an enlightened, thinking listenership. <br /><br />The irony is that WBAI's misfits foment the very racism they claim to be fighting. It's about mob mentality blossoming on a vandalized radio station few people care about anymore. It's about a suicide of sorts: a micro Masada, if you will. It's about attracting attention and not having to rant to passerbys on a street corner.<br /><br />WBAI should neither be black nor Jewish—ethic origin ought always t take a back seat to intelligence and vision. What idiots yelled on Eastern Parkway is par for the course—all fanatics resort to this sort of thing.<br /><br />Finally, you are right not to blame WBAI, per se, it is only the conduit for such anti-social behavior, as well as for positive expression.
