Tavis and Tom Joyner

[Professor]

I was asked to pass this around. I don't know anything about the matter - you decide

Tavis & Tom Joyner(Chicago Radio station D.J) Get Slammed By Comp USA:
> You know what to do!
>
> I don't know how many of you listen to Tom Joyner in the morning It is
one
> of the few shows where one can get important information and good music.
> Well, if you are a regular, you know that every Tuesday and Thursday,
Tavis
> Smiley (BET host) does a commentary informing us of this week's injustice
> against our people. For the last eight weeks, he has been trying to speak
> with CompUSA about their lack of advertising dollars spent in our
> neighborhoods or towards our people. And for the last eight weeks, he has
> been ignored. Thousands of receipts were sent in from people who bought
> products from CompUSA, but were protesting Still no response from Comp USA
> and not so much as a phone call to make an appointment to talk
>
> Today, we finally have a response from CompUSA. They are suing for
> defamation of character! I can't even express how upsetting it was to hear
> Tavis Smiley near tears this morning and Tom Joyner talking about how they
> are talking about taking his show off, or Tavis has to stop giving his
> commentary!
>
> There are thousands of hate groups that are allowed to speak against us on
> a
> daily basis. They march, they have talk shows, they even have
websites,but
> when we are trying to make a large corporation have a simple discussion of
> why they ignore African American people in their advertisement and say
that
> we don't buy enough from their stores to have to worry about us, we are
> told
> to stop; I am outraged. So today, in the midst of you sending the usual
> junk email (if you send this to ten people) please send a note to the
> people
> you know letting them know how far we've come in the last hundred years
> Once
> you know, you can only blame yourself when things! don't happen I wouldn't
> buy a pen at CompUSA now!
>
> They only showed us again how little they think of African Americans and
> that they don't need to address our complaints, just tell us to Shut Up!
