National News: Verizon Should Be Ashamed of ‘TechNigga’ Blog, Critics Say; New York Man Is Charged With A Hate Crime
July 8th, 2008Verizon should be ashamed of “TechNigga” blog, critics say
Some people aren’t too happy with Verizon Wireless who has given a distribution deal to White guy who’s running a video blog called “TechNigga,” EUR reports. Loren Feldman, of 1938 Media, has drawn the ire of such critics as Najee Ali, of Project Islamic Hope, and Paul Porter, of Industry Ears, among other activists. They want Lowell C. McAdam, president and CEO of Verizon Wireless, to stop giving Feldman a forum for what they say is blatant racism. “Feldman has a history of using the internet to promote racism and demeaning and negative racial stereotypes against African Americans on his internet site. He is responsible for and appears in what he calls ‘TechNigga,’” Ali told EUR in a statement. “Verizon CEO Lowell C. McAdam needs to demonstrate that Verizon understands they should demonstrate corporate responsibility and will not tolerate racism, or bigotry. The Verizon distribution deal with Feldman sends a horrible message that Verizon seeks to partner with racists like Feldman and that Verizon and CEO McAdam find nothing offensive with ‘TechNigga.’ Our community nationwide should.” Ali is urging everyone to call Lowell C. McAdam and let him know that you will boycott Verizon unless this distribution with Feldman is severed. There are plans for an upcoming national day of protest against Verizon stores nationwide if our calls for a meeting and our demands are not met.”
New York man is charged with a hate crime
Buffalo, N.Y., Police say that the thought of Whites and Hispanics living in the same household was too much for 40-year-old Donald Napierala to take, so he took a seven-foot cross, wrapped it in gasoline-soaked rags and lit it on their front lawn. The fire caused about $250 in damage, but it could have been worse, says Officer James T. Reese and Fire Marshals Edwin Ortiz and Harold Emerson, noting that his actions could very well have killed the four people who slept inside during his 1:30 a.m. escapade. His charges include arson, reckless endangerment, and criminal mischief. He is also charged with perpetrating a hate crime.
all i have to say is i’m with at&t i had verizion in the past and the service was horrible i would be happy if they shut them down because they remind me of gas prices lol but last but not least i’m not really raciest but i love me some white girls 4 real get you one you will love them ……………….
I WILL N OT RENEW MY CONTRACT WITH VERIZON. IT’S SEEMS NO MATTER WHAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED WE’RE STILL CONSIDERED THIRD CLASS CITIZEN. RACISM WILL NEVER END ON THIS PLANET DUE TO IGNORANCE.PEOPLE OF COLOR UNITE AND STAND UP FOR RESPECT.
T-Mobile has really good rate plans and they are getting better phones. I heard they bought SunCom and supposed to be trying to buy Sprint too. I know Sprint isn’t that great but they would both get better if they did merge. Just food for thought. Down with Verizon! Obama ‘08! Support Our Troops!
I’m not suprise at all when it comes to money. Verizon is no different than any other business in the corporate world. The dollar has no color. If Verizon were really concerned about any ones race being affected by this, I sure can’t tell !!
From this minute on ANYONE person of color and soul using VERIZON services or phones is just what they called you … a ‘TechNigga’
What Tha world is goin on? “Tech Nigga” is that a new higher class of bein called a N*gga. This man is out of control. Come on Now, This man needs to realize he can make disrespectful comments about Black People until he cant read,write, or talk. We are not going away, We have been coming up in tha world since Martin Luther King Jr. paved tha way for all of us. We are a strong race!!!! So people dont let this ignorant a** country white man get u off of yah game. So Mr. Dumb a**, keep haten.
OBAMA 08
DONT DO VERIZON, WHAT THEY ARE DOING , USING THE N WORD SOME OF OUR PEOPLE USE AND SAY IT’S A BLACK GREETING. MLK JR. AND OTHERS FOUGHT TO GET RESPECT AND AWAY FROM THE WORD// UNTIL OUR PEOPLE CEASE TO USE THE WORD IT WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT ANY CONSEQUENCES AGAINST WHITES OR ANY RACE THAT USES IT FOR NEGATIVITY!!!!!! WE AS BLACK PPL CANNOT EXCUSE THE WORD WHEN WE USE IT AND SHOULD NOT CRY RACISM WHEN SOMEONE FOLLOWS THE SUPPOSEDLY BLACK GREETING….
We as people need to do with we do they just mad because we are advancing in todays world hold fast and hold tight i say boycott Verizon.
davidwayne:
I ain’t mad at ya and I’m not racist either but I love me some black men!!!
If you are intending to drop Verizon as your wireless carrier please remember to pay that cancelation fee – otherwise you will damage yoru credit.
Better yet though we are always so busy boycotting everything we never address our community issues.
As long as this word is used in today’s music the man will profit from this, after all they’ve been stealing from from us from the get-go. I agree that we should boycott this company, but how many of the hip-hop crowd will miss the awful noise while talking to their dogs?
Verizon supports racism through its advertising support of WHAM and The Bob Lonsberry Show. Lonsberry makes consistent racist, sexist and classsist remarks targeting people of color and their children. Rochester Ny is planning and organizing around a community Boycott via a local group called ARM. Email us @ FireBoblonsberry@rocus.org and lets plan massive boycotts of sponsors of Racism and oppression targeting people of color and poor people.
