What is Black Talk Radio? Quite simply it is a phrase that has been around since the first radio station was created that featured Black disk Jockey’s spinning records featuring Black Music artist primarily for a Black listening audience.

In the 1960’s Malcolm X said that media is the most powerful entity on the planet because it has the power to control the minds of the masses. There is a direct link between the deviant behavior in the Black community and the media that it used to target it. As we enter this new millennium, a new era in new Black media is at hand, the only question is will you be a part of the process in working towards a solution for the Black community.

In 1967, Martin Luther King Jr said Black radio hosts were the opinion makers of the Black community and played an integral role in the civil rights movement.

Where is Black radio, specifically Black Talk Radio today and where is it headed. Is it benefiting the Black community or as Minister Farrakhan once said, it is still controlled by white men?

Reagan is a God to Conservatives who speak of him as if he was greatest man to walk the earth but in reality, Ronald Wilson Reagan was an actor turned corporate spokesman turned politician.

Charlotte, North Carolina

The Local NAACP is outraged that a snow-make up day was sceduled by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School Board on the national holiday for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The leader of the NAACP Charlotte Mecklenburg County branch, Kojo Nantambu speaking to the local media during the protest went as far as to call the entire city of Charlotte racist. Charlotte has a black mayor, Anthony Fox who is a Democrat and a black police chief. Mayor Foxx said it was “regrettable” that the snow make-up day was scheduled on Dr. King’s national holiday but that “given the challenges so many young people are facing it's hard for me to make the argument that if class is in session they shouldn't go."

Rev. Kojo Nantambu said that the local NAACP is in talks with Jesse Jackson to come to the city to address the issue and hopes that the NAACP national chapter will support them in their efforts to persuade the Democratic National Party not to hold their 2012 convention in the city. Mayor Foxx who has been working to bring the convention to Charlotte has yet to respond to Nantambu’s boycott threat.
