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.

The more we progress the more things stay the same! Verizon should know better but until it hits them where it counts (revenue) they choose to ignore the issue. Boycott!
Perpetrating??????
Perpetrating a hate crime???
Perpetrating????
Maybe Tiffany should look up the dictionary definition of the word perpetrate.
I call 4 a boycott against Verizon and make them feel the heat. The company should know better. The real messed up part is that the CEO doesn’t think its a problem, shame on u! Man I tell u….now that its setting in that we have a stong chance that the next president might be a black man, these whites don’t know how 2 act. There using they’re last stitch of hope 2 act out.
Boycott Verizon who ever has services with them should switch to another carrier. Shut them Down!!!
I tell you what, I’m a Black male who has had Verizon service for a good while now, if they don’t drop that deal with that guy, I’m droping them…….
You know it is a bunch of old red necks running verizon, or shall I say good old boys.
this is a good thing,now we need to email our friends, families, and others to get this out there because we are strong people,and they are afraid of us, i don’t use their service but i am willing to stand-up.
I wonder what Mr Napierala is gonna do when he has to share his cell with people of color?
I think that this is ridiculous that in this day and age that we have blatant racism existing in the open for everyone to see and that Verizon does not take offense to this. I personally don’t have there service, but I would leave them if I did. I would hate to think that as a black female that I would continue to improve there financial situation and they don’t value me as a person.
I don’t currently use their services, now I definitely won’t.
?#*@ Verizon! AT&T da ##@? anyway!
Dats messed up how verizon did dat most of the people I knoe who have verizon are black and they are going 2 do all dat no
Verizon, Verizon, Verizon, What is wrong with you? To let someone dish out that kind of ugliness
on your network is not good. I am a strong black female who has come a long way, but i also know the journey is not over, and will neaver be over until we end stuff like this. Come on Verizon, work with us, not against us.
I say the same thing everytime, just stop buying all their products completely. You can go to other companies and get phone service. It is that simple. Within 48-72hours tops you’ll be fully intergrated with another provider. I left them because their pay as you go plan just seemed to last less and less each and I finally got sick and tired of that swindling, you know? But this is a reason to just give them financial HELL!!! Once that first ten million in revenues is lost watch how they’ll take action and eventually dump this poor excuse of a human being, blog and all! HIT EM’ IN THE POCKET, HIT EM’ IN THE POCKET, HIT EM’ IN THE POCKET!!!!!!!! Thats how you deal with corporates worldwide!
HIT EM’ IN THE POCKET, HIT EM’ IN THE POCKET, HIT EM’ IN THE POCKET!!!!!!!!!!! Join AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint or any other cellular service provider, just stop giving them money! After the 15 - 20 million dollar mark they’ll do something about Mr. A**hole! BELIEVE IT, ALL CORPORATES RESPOND TO LOST AND CONTINUALLY LOST REVENUE!!!
WHY WHEN A WHITE MAN COMMIT A CRIME IT’S CALLED PERPETRATING A CRIME? THIS FOOL COMMITTED THE CRIME AND PERPETRATED A KKK ACT UNLESS, HE IS A MEMBER? LORD HELP US ALL!
BURNING THE CROSS IN THE YARD WAS A HATE CRIME GEEZ. COLLEGED EDUCATED COPS, PLEASE.
WHERES MY DAMN COMMENT BET??? WHERE IS IT??? THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE RUNNING THIS BLOG? HIT EM’ IN THE POCKET STOP DOING BUSINESS WITH THEM COMPLETELY, END OF STORY. LOST REVENUE WILL CHANGE ANY CORPORATION’S STANCE REGARDING WHATEVER IS LOSING THEM THE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!
MINORITY AMERICA DROP VERIZON IMMEDIATELY!!!
THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED.
DROP ALL VERIZON SERVICES BOYCOTT NOW!!!
WIRELESS
CABLE
INTERNET
RESIDENT/BUSINESS SERVICES
PLEASE I EMPLORE ALL AMERICANS AGAINST RACISM TO ACT NOW! HIT THEM IN THE POCKET THEY CAN RELATE TO.
I agree triciap. But lets also remember that Verizon has purchased Alltel. Both should be BOYCOTTED. This is so senseless and irresponsible
per.pe.trate: To do or perform (something evil, criminal or offensive)..Source: Webster’s New World Dictionary Third College Edition..
i wasn’t offended when i saw is because some videos are like that and people dance to them. its wrong i agree the image has to change in how we see each other in our own race but still don’t let them media 138 to dirty because jews lived in a ghetto too. or the other ones might look at the sarcasm in adult cartoon and children watch it to American dad and Simpson’s and family guy the list goes on writers across the board needs to be censored some what to what goes on television for the image of color
I really like to first appreciate each and every one’s comments and I too stand besides you in the fight aganist any form of bigotry, racism or any form of discriminatory towards any race. So yes we need to boycott or protest in front of each Verison store in every city until this matter is resolved.
Minority America? Why not anyone who doesn’t support racism? I am a white female, and I sure as hell am not racist and if i had verizon they’d be gone in a heartbeat. And perpetrate means that the person committed the crime…the term is def. not just used for white people, although there are some people within the judicial system that are racist.
Verizon, can you hear me now? GOOD!!! A lot of people will be dropping your service!!!
I am sick of white folks doing things like this to get a rise out of us. We have been hated on since we saw them hit the shores of Africa to capture our people, yet if black folks were to make a website like that we would be the blame of this undercover racism that white folks have for thousands of years against us!! When are going to realise that white folks are just not going to accept us, for us to do for our selves!! Who can take care of us better than us?! Obama the new future!!
DROP VERIZON! what some companies are up for. I don’t use their service anyway, but for real cut them off people.
I seriously love to read some of the responses on here. I am white and I am an Obama supporter, but some of you are just crazy….if you seriously believe Obama is going to change life for the average black person, let alone the average ANY person, you are all going to seriously be disappointed. He’s still a politician. Wait and see….he’s already side-stepping on gas and Iraq………
every one not just black needs to come together, there employees should be offended also stand up an let verizon a** their wrong come on now they know better than that,McAdam feels that way in his heart verizon is looking for someone else to do the dirty work.
Verizon was good while it lasted but as for me and my family we’re moving to t-mobile
Jojo, what are you talking about. Who thinks Obama will change the life of anyone? What young people will see is that they are capable of doing anything they set their minds to, if he wins. Even if he does not win, he has already won in my book.
I love Verizon and will keep their service. All you people know you got bad credit and cant get Verizon. lol
I SWITCHED FROM VERIZON A LONG TIME AGO AND NOW THAT I HAVE READ THIS I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THEIR SERVICE .., AND FOR THE PERSON THT SAID IF YOU DONT HV VERIZON Y0U HAVE BAD CREDIT .., MY CREDIT IS EXCELLENT AND I DO NOT HAVE VERIZON AND NEVER WILL …, AND I AM A AFRICAN AMERICAN (BLACK) WOMEN .., WE HAVE GOOD CREDIT TO .., NOW U LOL ON THAT
Really? hard to believe.i heard this news times from many friends playing on a tall dating site ___Tallmingle.com___,i did not believe, i think that they are know nothing but dating and love.
i am wrong.
You know ever since NWA came out, the word n…..has been used by all races. Rush Limbaugh had a field day with it, yet there was no national uproar. I am not a Verizon user but I support a national boycott against them for condoning blatant racism, however we as Black people need to refrain from using this very word in our music, media, rap, movies and even against one another, otherwise it gives license to other races to use the word as if WE condone its usage.
Maybe once Verizon knows how much this has hurt others ..then they may make a change on this mistake. It really don’t matter which company one may change to…probably some folks there with the same mind as the folks at Verizon. Theres no where to run or hide from racism…just need to put it in check. Racism is rampant…even comes in our own black race. I want discontinue usin Verizon on this account. If this article is true…I can only hope Verizon gets it right. LETS LOVE GOD PEOPLE!!!
Black people, let u work together not against each other! Let’s stand together and show Martin L.KIng famiy he did not die in vain. Lord bless America and the trouble we face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What’s ironic about the whole thing is from the name Loren Feldman it would appear that he’s Jewish. Now that would be a contradiction in terms if it’ turns out to be true. I saw the techn…a video and was not at all shocked because I recognize that black people are hated on all over the world. To add insult to injury is the fact that the CEO of Verizon Lowell C. McAdam would be a part of and allow such hatred to publicized. This is not a mistake on his part either and he’s just as guilty. If we don’t respect ourselves then who will?
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 …& #8230; 8230; 230;R 30;̷ 0;.
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.
