Plaintiff: Comcast Treats Sharpton as Least Expensive Negro

Byron Allen, a plaintiff in a $20 billion lawsuit against Comcast for racial discrimination, accused the media conglomerate on HuffPost Live Friday of paying off Al Sharpton as racial cover at the expense of market share for 100% African-American owned media ventures.

AT&T spent more money throwing Al Sharpton a lavish 60th birthday party than they spend on Ebony magazine, which is a magazine thats been around for 70 years, Allen told host Caroline Modarressay-Tehrani. He is the least-expensive negro. Instead of spending real money, with real 100% African-American owned media, it is easier to give him $50,000 to give them cover.

The suit alleges, among other things, that Comcast paid off Sharpton to hang fire on criticisms of Comcasts merger with NBCUniversal, which the plaintiffs believe excluded African-American media properties.

The industry spends about $50 billion a year licensing cable networks in which 100% African American-owned media receives less than $3 million per year in revenue, Allen alleged. It creates generational wealth and market caps that do not exist in our community, because theyre able to pay people like Al Sharpton cover not to truly do business with 100% African-American owned media.

Allen also accused President Barack Obama of collusion with Comcast. Obama allowed the biggest media merger in the history of humankind, and true 100% African-American owned media is not included, Allen said. President Obama has been bought and paid for.

Sharptons non-profit National Action Network called the allegations less than credible.

European Union makes large donation to Caribbean OCTs

THE EUROPEAN UNION has agreed to allocate 40 million Euro (US$44.8 million) to finance Energy Efficiency and Biodiversity projects in Caribbean Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs).

This was one on the decisions coming out of the 13th Annual OCT-EU Regional Conference held in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) on Thursday. In addition the EU provides a total of 95 million Euro (US$107M) to the nine Caribbean OCTs as territorial allocations.

The conference was attended by the new European Commissioner for International Cooperation and Development, Neven Mimica, on his first visit to the Caribbean three months after he took office. The new EU Development Commissionerstated: I am committed to ensuring that the EU upholds its role as a global champion of sustainable development, on the basis of partnership based on mutual interests.

He furtherhighlighted 2015 as the European Year for Development.

The 130 participants held in-depth dialogue on topics of mutual interest such as a more effective integration of the territories in their respective regions and on sustainable use of natural resources. The trilateral meetings proved to be very useful to facilitate the exchange of views on the programming process and a deeper partnership.

They underlined their special relationship, their belonging to the same European family and common objectives, values and principles. The partners agreed that innovation, competitiveness and blue and green growth are key factors in the sustainable development of the OCTs and the diversification of their economies.

Following the Ministerial Conference, the 13th Overseas Countries and Territories-EU Forum was opened on Friday by Premier of the British Virgin Islands, Dr Orlando Smith and Commissioner Mimica.

Those attending the Forum include Premiers and Chief Ministers of the 25 Overseas Countries and Territories; representatives of Denmark, France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom; the EU Outermost regions and Members of the European Commission, the European Parliament and the European Investment Bank.

OCTs are countries that depend constitutionally on four of the EU Member States Denmark, France, The Netherlands and The United Kingdom. They do not form part of EU territory, are not subject to EU law, but they benefit from associate status conferred on them by the Treaty of Lisbon. (PR)
