This mornning we talked about verizon getting partnering with a racist to do a show called Technigga. Thanks to the pressuring of outlets like Industryears
and Project Islamic Hope the content was removed..

Verizon Wireless announced this morning that "clips from 1938 media were
moved off our service this morning."
Najee Ali from Project Islamic Hope stated "This was another important
victory for consumers and Black leadership. We salute Verizon for
listening to the concerns of our community and their customers by
refusing to be a corporate partner and supporter of Loren Feldman,
president of 1938 Media. We feel that his site and content espoused
racism and bigotry. He is best know for the racist online skit called
Technigga. That type of racist material and association obviously was
not suitable for Verizon our its customers."
We are glad to hear that Verizon moved quickly to cease 1938 Media's
offensive content off their V Cast. Corporate responsibility is not an
option. In less than twenty four hours the voice of the consumer was
heard loud and clear. Industry Ears values our partnership with Project
Islamic Hope and the strength of web to deliver information that
consumers truly need to hear.
