This Is Bigger Than Me! Byron Allen Deconstructs His SCOTUS Case & $20B Lawsuit Against Comcast

Byron Allen's racial discrimination case against Comcast came before the Supreme Court on Wednesday.
At issue is whether Allen's $20 billion lawsuit should have survived beyond the pleading stage by merely proving that his race was a "motivating factor" in Comcast's decision to deny carriage of his company's channels.
The Ninth Circuit ruled in favor of Allen last year, and some of the justices found fault with the lower court's reasoning.
Allen, CEO of Entertainment Studios joined Roland Martin in studio to discuss his $20 billion suit against Comcast and the Supreme Court hearing where he presented his case against the cable giant.

Your truth is powerful. Its too bad that Black men like Byron Allen never share their wealth and love with a Black woman. With the game being so rigged against African Americans, one would think Black men would have more appreciation for their shared struggle with Black women, but nope they don't. Byron Allen shares his $400 million dollar empire with a White woman and their biracial children. I can't help but think what an insult this is to their ancestors especially the women who died not knowing that they were worthy.

Who are you with now that you're not with Comcast

[@anntyler6461]

I remember being on a call with a Comcast agent 2 years ago who went over all of the specials and discount packages that they were advertising at the time. I asked the agent which channels were included? She explained that bravo, vh1, msnbc, lifetime, HBO, Showtime...etc were included in these $79.00 packages, so I asked her, what about Own, centric, tv one.. etc? She replied, "Oh, those channels are ONLY available with our premium packages" then asked if I'd like to hear about the Premium bundle? I said yes, she then said that the Premium packages started at $149.00 + taxes & fees that totaled to around $212.00 a month, I instantly became very disgusted, and started fussing about the targeted corruption of Comcast toward black people and how I wanted to discontinue my conversation with them! She said she understood my concerns, but would i like to purchase the Premium bundle? I said Heck naw, (Click)! THEY CHARGE US Black folks more for our stations than everyone else, and that is why we are the largest consumers to their stinking cable service! I hope they do get shut down for good!

Glad you cracked the code. They charge more for us to get basic channels that are not considered Premium. Remember Own was about to fold until Tyler Perry partnered with Oprah and started developing contend for Own. Now Own today is still a regular channel but you need a premium package. "Cut the cord"

[@Zim24Diva]

TheCut2009 You’re right. OWN was struggling, because initially Oprah tried to cater her channel to the white, suburban women who watched her show. She had no black programming until Tyler Perry came to the rescue and now most of the shows on there have a majority black cast. TWC/Spectrum also charges those black networks at a premium rate. I cut the cord last year. They still harass me to this day to rejoin and I tell them “we only read or watch Netflix and KZbin in this house.”

THIS was a MASTER CLASS level of education right here!! I’m sitting over here taking notes, rewinding, and sharing with my friends this gold nugget of information. Brother Martin, the Black Community owes you a big THANK YOU for wisdom you continue to share on a daily basis, and Mr. Allen, I remember you all the way back to the days of “Real People!” I’m so impressed and thankful for what you’re trying to achieve for The Culture. God bless you both and God speed… 🖤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I rock with Byron Allen. I hate Comcast & agree with everything he’s saying. They ARE predatory & greedy to the point of being dismissive, & have a take-it-or-leave-it attitude when you call to complain about their services. We all reap what we sow. Their time is coming....

[@truthfulrating5802]

At the dumbass CNN fired him for saying that he didn't want to see a man in underwear during a Super Bowl commercial I was done with CNN. He's a heterosexual man and they discriminated against him because he said he didn't want to see no man and no underwear so some gay executive at CNN has said that that was discrimination against gays what the f*** does that have to do with gays. That's heterosexual harassment

[@Stackzz12]

I STAND WITH BYRON ALLEN...! Mr. John Hope is My financial mentor however I don't think that he fully understand Comcast's calculated systemic evil... I feel that His comment was premature and could easily be misperceived... " Inclusion, Having a seat at the table We will also respect the responsibility that comes along with it"...! (Dr. Adam Pearson)

I like you thinking, your heart is in the right place. We must not riot, if we riot, let's riot with the pen in writing. Byron Allen let's us know we have to use Our Civil Rights, that's the message, We can be so powerful if you get the Civil Rights Acts of the 1800's and the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Then we'll learn what we kept from us. This way we learn what our Right really are, and use them to the fullest of the exstent of the law against anyone who discriminates against us. That's a War they're not expecting, us using the pen as our weapons of choice. The mind is a terrible muscle to lose.
