SYNDICATED RADIO HOST WARREN BALLENTINE CALLS FOR A NATIONAL BLACKOUT DAY!
Friday November 2, 2007 radio host Warren Ballentine is calling for all African Americans to not spend money as a symbol of defiance of all the injustices that are being allowed and accepted in America. The goal is for federal legislation concerning hate-crimes in America.
As African Americans we spend an estimated 715 billion dollars a year, and if we were to stop spending for one day that is 2 billion dollars that will not be in the system. However, we ask that you do not make a mad dash to the stores days prior or the days following. If the stores have a major increase in sales right before or right after the Blackout will not create the impact we need.

Of all the citites in the world, ignorance came to mine. The ATL Morning show on 107.9 is urging listeners to not participate in the national blackout.
This is absolutely absurd and ridiculous. I am so appalled at the ignorance that has infested our community. They have an opportunity to heal, but instead they spread the disease. Who in their right mind would speak against something that is meant for them. In the 1950s and 1960s, I'm sure there weren't any blacks opposed to getting civil rights. Even if they weren't marching, they agreed with the cause. Our civil rights are being compromised right now today. That goes to show you how we take things for granted (i.e. our parents and grandparents marching for what we have today). GET IT TOGETHER PEOPLE. Get informed. KNOW. CARE. ACT.
