Don't Piss Comp-USA off
Tom Joyner stated “As long as I have a show, Smiley has a voice on the air” during the bet debacle. Seems that changed when Tom got to know Tavis himself. Joyner was SUCH a staunch supporter of Tavis he even risked him OWN show by allowing Tavis the time on-air to attack former retailer Comp-USA for not marketing their store to black consumers. Tavis certainly had a valid point here but he put Comp-USA on such a humiliation blast that they sent two very nervous white executives (it appeared they didn't' have any blacks in upper management) to the Tom Joyner Morning Show (TJMS) to resolve the situation but not before sending their own lawyers in to attempt a gag order on the TJMS from talking about them didn't' work.
I side with Tavis. Tom Joyner, Al Sharpton and Steve Harvey are the sell outs. Al used to to criticise the President but has since beeen co-opted. Maybe when he changed his hairdo it changed more than his locks. Steve is a comedienne, propped up by ghost writers nuff said. Tavis raises real issues. It’s just sad our President is black and the recipient of his harsh but true criticism. We need to stand for truth and not popularity or ratings or money. If we would support truth tellrs then they would not have to bow to media moguls and in teh end true voices could be heard vice media and radio talking heads.
