THIS is about not paying billsI don't think you understand what the word systemic means.
The history of black radio goes much deeper than 1 man not paying his bills.
the everything is racist cries are getting old fast

Depends how you define that. By exclusion do you mean barred from or do you mean not represented? The former is a straight up wtf, but the latter is far too complex, with a myriad of possible factors, to automatically cry white supremacy.White supremacy, you mean?
Black people are still excluded from quite a bit.
Again you don't understand what the word systemic means.THIS is about not paying bills

I think it's this guy here.I wonder who will get to buy the license?
Or maybe they use the latter to cover up the former to make things seem complex for some?Depends how you define that. By exclusion do you mean barred from or do you mean not represented?

You’re ignorant to the fact they didn’t pay their bills it has nothing to do with racism pay your billsAgain you don't understand what the word systemic means.
If it gets old, blame it on your ignorance, not it's validity.
Wait, when did "Urban" start to mean black? Does "Ghetto" automatically mean black to you as well? I've always associated it with poor and living in subsidized housing, which probably isn't completely accurate either. Ghetto that is. Urban has always meant city as opposed to rural or country living. Or maybe I'm racist because I'm resistant to appropriation of commonly used words?Or maybe they use the latter to cover up the former to make things seem complex for some?
it wasn't until 2001 Canada got a dedicated "Urban" program on radio.
You're ignorant to the fact you don't know anything about black radio. Which is why you sum one single situation as the history.You’re ignorant to the fact they didn’t pay their bills it has nothing to do with racism pay your bills
Ghetto = slum areas of the city.Wait, when did "Urban" start to mean black? Does "Ghetto" automatically mean black to you as well?

Wealth inequality doesn't explain why Black Radio programming was shutout through the 90's?I'm definitely racist because I feel discriminated against as a middle aged caucasian male. True story: many years ago I had to apply for legal aid and I had the audacity to tick the box that asked if I was a visible minority. When I got into the interview room the woman, who was not caucasian, tried to change my answer. My response to her was simple. I asked if she would like to accompany me back to the waiting room where I filled out the questionnaire and if I wasn't a visible minority I would happily allow her to change it.
I wish people would stop playing the race card. Wealth inequality is a much more important issue and affects all races but it seems to be easier to equate wealth inequality to systemic racism as it generally fits the narration. I guess I'm just being 'triggered' though so I'll just move along.
Who's playing? Don't let the handle fool you.Ghetto = slum areas of the city.
Urban contemporary, or "Urban" for short = Rap, Hip-Hop, RnB etc.

Don't play stupid. If you guys don't know what you are talking about, you shouldn't be talking.
Trust me, nothing fools me on this site.Who's playing? Don't let the handle fool you.
Please show me where I supported the station being sold to the highest bidder.Wealth inequality doesn't explain why Black Radio programming was shutout through the 90's?
You say wealth inequality is a problem, but support the station being sold to the highest bidder? Are you sure you know what you're saying?
Then who should it have gone to?Please show me where I supported the station being sold to the highest bidder.
There were black investors looking to get a black broadcast.You're absolutely right that wealth inequality doesn't explain why black radio programming was shutout through the '90's. But I won't claim that is the case. Better question would be, why didn't anyone invest in black radio programming in the 90's or before? Were black people not listening to the radio back then? Were there rules preventing people of colour from opening or owning radio stations? If there weren't, don't claim racism is the cause of it.
I would imagine that it should go to the highest bidder. Same as what would happen if I put anything up for sale. Of course there are always the conspiracies that an 'insider' was able to buy it for less than the highest bid because of connections but that happens in every market. There isn't a perfect fix or if there is I'm not bright enough to discern it.Then who should it have gone to?
Without fact checking your assertions I will take them at face value. But have you considered the possibility that it had more to do with censorship than racism? Most of the hip hop and rap I remember was all about misogyny towards women, gun violence, or general violence with a lot of profanity sprinkled in. Lately society has been opening the flood gates to that type of content. Try watching vintage television and then watch something recent and see if you notice a difference. I'd imagine that radio is similar.There were black investors looking to get a black broadcast.
I'm pretty sure black people had radios in the 90's. I will double check for you.
The Canadian Government controls the radio airwaves. They had many opportunities and passed on all. But you had all other genres on broadcast.
Does this suffice your checklist for racism Mr. White Man? Or is there another hundred hurdles I have to jump to convince you?
Please show me where I supported the station being sold to the highest bidder.
So there you go.I would imagine that it should go to the highest bidder.
I'm glad you equate black music to only violence and misogyny loaded Rap.Without fact checking your assertions I will take them at face value.

But I'd hate to detract from the obviously racist reasons that you are trying so hard to prop up.
Stop trying to play the race card it has nothing to do with race and everything to do with not paying your billsYou're ignorant to the fact you don't know anything about black radio. Which is why you sum one single situation as the history.
You can die holding on to that wishing, because I won't stop pointing it out.Stop trying to play the race card it has nothing to do with race and everything to do with not paying your bills
