It was while doing a bit of research that I ran into the Chicago Defender and thus to this message board. A very lively place then!

Now that we have more Black millionaires, why can't a new Robert Johnson step up and create a similar black media output.
We have Byron Allen owning The Grio and other media outlets but i've always found him to be suspicious. Plus, if he passes, his media empire will be owned by his wife's white family.
They say The Root is black-owned by a sister named Ashley Allison, but between the lines her finance is by folks of the Democratic party establishment - those linked to Obama & Kamala. TheRoot is now a democratic party echo chamber and the comment section has disappeared.
Anyway, social media is the thing, at least as far as i'm concerned.
Just my observation.

Lol..."and as I was literally in front of the building, I opened my sun roof and peered up"...
Les is sooo Black bougie!

btw, in today's world, Tom Joyner wouldn't have to fly anywhere for his show, he could reach the world from his bathroom or man cave. Just like the Rickey Smiley!
