Black Radio Getting The Snub From Meg Whitman And Jerry Brown?
Exactly Jer. What up? Where's the love, dude?
Back in July News One Website posted a piece about Meg Whitman snubbing black radio.
Apparently she’s not alone. So is Jerry Brown according to LA’s KJLH Front Page Host Dominique DiPrima. The popular radio show host says she has repeatedly reached out to both Whitman and Brown and neither have returned her calls. This is despite their appearances on both Latino and mainstream radio talk shows this year.
Jive cow
To date, Whitman’s campaign has spent over 50 million dollars on TV, radio, and print, but has yet to spend a cent on African American media outlets. Not only has her camp not chosen to use African-American outlets, but they have refused invitations.
Last month Whitman was a no-show at a forum created for blacks and Latinos at the San Francisco Christian Center. And that created quite the furor with blacks in the area who where disappointed that she pulled out at the last minute.
As far as Brown, we don’t know what his excuse is, but whatever it is, it ain’t cool. On either of their behalves, it’s not sending a great message to African American voters. Check out this video with KJLH’s Dominique DiPrima sharing her frustration with Brown and Whitman.

The Republicans are so funny, when the economy is good you say let’s all celebrate “Cinco de Mayo, my brothers” but when the economy is down “it’s all your fault, you damn immigrant”. When most Americans (with Latin America roots) go to the polls this November we will remember that the GOP has gone on a nationwide rant in proposing and passing several anti-immigration legislation (that our US Courts continue to strike down) and have continue to blame the immigrant for the flat economy or worse. We will remember who stands with us and who stands against us, so trying to stop it now is somewhat funny, but go ahead, you will not change our minds. Plus the more radical of the GOP are now attacking our Constitution and our Bill of Rights, in a misguided attempt to garner some much needed votes, they really are fools, and leading the GOP towards obscurity because they are no longer a party of ideas, just of empty suits. Your hate made you do it, in November; you will reap what you have sown. I wonder what Abraham Lincoln would say about todays GOP, he unlike the current GOP was a man of ideas.
