I'm suing every major distribution company because they won't carry my channels, because they're racist. More channels to pay for and not watch.

So he is accusing the networks of being racist because they won’t carry racist programming?

Liberalism is a mental disease

The corporate response to this is hilarious.

“Maybe if I offer the hyenas circling our camp a few of my fingers to eat they will leave us alone!”

It doesn’t work that way, dummies. Either you drive the hyenas off, or eventually they will eat you.

Anybody who started their career on the abomination known as “Real People” as Byron York did needs to keep his mouth shut when it comes to the issue of racism. It isn’t the issue of race which keeps people from watching you Byron. It’s the fact that your a fekless hack going all the way back to the 1980’s.

Out of about 250 channels on Charter here I would say there are 5 that are programmed for the black audience. As opposed to 50 Hispanic channels.

Obama birthed the Frankenstein, now it’s starting to eat it’s own. Kinda fun to watch.

What’s wrong with “Real People?” I used to love that show.

I think they experimented on the hosts with LSD. We need to keep an eye on Sarah Purcell before she joins ISIS as a General.
