  2. CNN Withdraws Support of the National Association of Black Journalists Friday, October 17, 2014 (0 Comments) Posted by: Aprill Turner More Sharing ServicesShare|Share on facebookShare on twitterShare on gmailShare on stumbleupon MINNEAPOLIS (October 17, 2014) - Today at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), Board of Directors Meeting, President Bob Butler announced that long-time supporter CNN has withdrawn support of NABJ for the 2015 Convention & Career Fair. NABJ issued a statement last week, "NABJ Concerned About Atmosphere at CNN for African Americans", in which NABJ expressed concern over the large number of African-American staff members leaving and being fired from the cable news network. Several African-Americans anchors have left the anchor desk or CNN altogether in the past few years. Following the release CNN contacted NABJ President Bob Butler and informed him the association's request for support was denied. Since that time CNN announced a major layoff in which at least five senior managers were laid off. In the past year nearly a dozen African American managers have resigned, been laid off or were terminated." "I understand the company has a right to make personnel decisions," said NABJ President Bob Butler. "There were not that many African American managers at CNN in the first place. These layoffs have hurt our members tremendously. I am severely disappointed that CNN has ended our partnership." NABJ was established as an advocacy group in 1975 in Washington, D.C., and is now the largest organization for journalists of color in the nation. It provides career development, educational support and other services to its members worldwide. ###
  3. I think all the sex in her show, both homo and heterosexual is a bit much and doesn't work hard enough at advancing the story line. But then again, I don't have three shows on national television on one night, so there's that.
  4. Her album is really good. This is my first listen. I think I had low expectations going in but so far so good.
  5. Absolutely remembered. My first live concert was a Mario concert when he performed at the state fair. I was front row. He's one of the few people that I've seen live who actually sounds better live.
  6. If they are cute, I'd ask them if they want to hear some of the new music i'm working on.
  7. It's a civil case so his burden of persuasion to a jury is only by a preponderance of the evidence. If it's true that qualified African-Americans weren't getting promoted over their white or other racial counterparts then that would be sufficient for him to win a jury veridict.
  8. They've been claiming this for years and the date keeps pushing it further back.
  9. Iggy doesn't sell. She just happened upon catchy singles. She doesn't have that same "Oh Iggy's on this track. Let me check it out" that some artist have. Also doesn't this seem to borrow elements from Anaconda. Lastly, terrible verse from Igg-ster.
  10. The album is good. Stop hating. It's been on constant replay on my morning commutes.
  11. Aw thank you guys so much! It's been a great one so far but I'm tired and kind of sick so I'm about to watch some premiere week tv and pop these meds so I can be in full effect for this weekend.
  12. Right on Rihanna. NFL is nothing but a bunch of culture appropriating vultures who tap into hip-hop/r&b culture when convenient for them. Whenever there is a scandal, for some reason, they nix any hip-hop attitudes that can be found in their telecast. I don't think this has anything to do with her being a crime victim and everything to do with her being African-American and being on a rap song. TBH, it's Jay-Z's song not Rihanna's.. so..
  13. Seems like they did.. once the old official board disappeared.
  14. You guys aren't a part of the relationship so your opinion on what she should or should not do is null and void. Period. Some of y'all in relationships with mentally abusive people (or are mentally abusive yourselves) trying to counsel someone else's relationship.
