FCC ‘Diversity Czar’: “Few Things More Frightening in the American Mind Than Dark Skin Black Men”
By PoliJAM | September 21, 2009
FCC ‘Diversity Czar’ Mark Lloyd speaking at the Conference on Media Reform: Racial Justice – May 2005:
During the Clinton administration, largely because of Congress who was then very concerned about affirmative action and believed that although affirmative action largely benefited white women, that affirmative action was largely viewed as something that was benefiting blacks, not necessarily any of the other racial groups but blacks and that blacks had gotten enough and it was time to do something about this and these affirmative action programs needed to be stopped. We have not made much improvement since we’ve begun to pull back from those things in the mid-1990s.
The conversation about how we communicated with each other despite being aware of the clear impressions that I know that I make in rooms that I walk into when people hear my voice is a challenge. How much do I express that – I think really pretty obvious complaints of black Americans in rooms full of whites.
There’s nothing more difficult than this because we have really truly good white people in important positions and the fact of the matter is that there are a limited number of those positions. And unless we are conscious of the need to have more people of color – gays – are there people in those positions, we will not change the problem. — But we’re in a position we’re you have to say who is going to step down so someone else can have power.
There are few things more frightening in the American mind than dark skin black men. Here I am.
CounterSpin Radio – July 2007:
Share ThisWhat we’re really saying is that the Fairness Doctrine is not enough and that having a sort of over-arching rule that says that broadcasters ought to be fair – ought to provide issues important to communities and that they ought to do it in a fair and balanced way is simply enough – Unless you put some teeth into that and put some hard structural rules in place that are going to result in fairness.

The Fairness Doctrine is NOT needed. We have every possible viewpoint represented on our air waves. We NEED every possible viewpoint represented. It’s called discourse and enlightenment, and it is NOT the business of the government to determine what I hear or how I think about it.
There are only 4 things we need to pound Congress with everyday!
1) LIMITED GOVERNMENT: get out of my talk radio, sodas, the water in San Joaquin, and the fine arts, etc, etc, etc!
2) BALANCED BUDGET: and do not spend ONE PENNY until you correct this sinful, unethical, unthinkable burden on our children.
3) END CORRUPTION: How’s that ‘line by line’ search and removal of port/earmarks/special interests going?
4) HONOR THE CONSTITUTION: Honor the REAL Bill of Rights, not the Progressive’s “Second Bill of Rights” You don’t owe me a job, a home, education or healthcare. Those are state responsibilities.
