Crooked black organizations/Greed
When we had the problem with racism at a radio corporation in the early 90s we went to two “respected” organizations for help. One I will not mention because I like what the current administration is doing and the other I don’t have to mention because it will be quite obvious to industry people, it was a black industry magazine. We told them both our problems and they acted like they were really going to help us (we were young and green). The organization and the magazine went to the station and talked to the late GM and the organization got sponsored breakfasts for a few months from the station and the magazine got their pool party sponsored at one of their (last) conferences in LA.
We were used and kicked to the curb and neither the organization nor the magazine called us back. That was when I started Digital and Radio Facts Magazine because I realized the power of the press and I committed to being an activist for minorities in the industry who could not fight for themselves from that day on.
