BLACKNEWS.COM CALLS FOR EBAY TO SHOW MORE RESPECT TOWARDS THE BLACK COMMUNITY

eBay, the world's largest online auction, allows "n****r" items to be sold

Long Beach, CA - It appears that eBay has disregarded their own rules regarding the sale of items that promote hatred and racial intolerance.

Apparently, they allow racially-offensive products to be sold and bought.

If you find this hard to believe, go to www.ebay.com, initiate a search using the word "n****r", and see how many racially-disgusting products appear. What makes this worse, is that these products are categorized as
collectibles, memorabilia, and cultural items.

BlackNews.com, the premier online African-American news destination, was alerted to this matter by one of their subscribers. Immediately, they initiated an effort to create an awareness amongst the African and
African-American community.

Dante Lee, President & CEO of A.S.J. Media - the ethnic marketing and public relations firm that owns and manages BlackNews.com, comments "I was very surprised that eBay, one of the only companies to stay afloat during the dot-bomb era, would display such insensitivity towards Africans and African-Americans. I know for sure that eBay is staffed with some of the
smartest and most tech-savvy individuals, but it is amazing to me that this was overlooked." Lee adds, "Our intentions are not to bash eBay nor are we
attempting to destroy their reputation because we personally feel eBay is a great online marketplace. However, at the same time, this is no small issue
and it should be addressed."

BlackNews.com is NOT calling for a boycott of eBay. However, if eBay does not address the issue as soon as possible, a boycott may be necessary.
