Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2021
- Marc Lamont Hill talks to media mogul Byron Allen who's suing Mcdonald's for $10 billion for racial discrimination in advertising sales. He alleges that the fast-food giant doesn't advertise with Black-owned media outlets as much as it does with white-owned media.
The founder, chairman & CEO of Allen Media Group, says that he is working toward economic inclusion for Black people.

Dismiss, Discredit, Demonize, Destroy...that breakdown was on point
One hundred percent on point.
🎯🎯🎯💯💯💯
🙏👍
It seems like he only surfaces when he needs black people for something or when he’s suing someone. 🤔 I never hear from him any other time. If he has please enlighten me I’d love to know how he’s helped his own community
@T mac 💯
Throughout our history here there have been countless black people working, building wealth, helping behind the scenes and financing tje movement. For example the late A.J. Gatson in Birmingham, Robert the late Robert Reed Church in Memphis and even Sammy Davis Jr.
These people couldn't afford to be the face of the movements. So, they moved in unique ways. They may not have received great notoriety from the community (some black people called Sammy Davis a sell out) but they did their part nonetheless.
I agree, but someone said that he has a lot of Black people working for him. That part though.
No you are absolutely correct "I was telling everyone to stand with him until "I found out who he really is !
@T mac fair point
Smh, talking black while sleeping white😒
Who a person MARRIES ( takes a vow towards) and who that person lays down with every single night , says a lot about where their TRUE ALLEGIANCE lies.
That dude just wants more money. He's not doing anything for the culture, he's doing it for his pockets. How many times do people need to be fooled before you learn?! This video gets a thumbs down.
Wow look at all the negative comments... racism is so real in this country. Dismiss, dis credit, demonize, destroy, that describes most of these comments... even our own people don’t get it ...
@Margaret Kpeh WHY ARE they so many black men in prison, try researching "convict leasing in the mid 1800 post civil war, during reconstruction for starters
what is you doing for the community
Don’t applaud this man. He is not behind the scenes helping the struggle, he is another man who only cares about black people, when he is the black person being effected. Just like O.J. I’m not black Simpson and so many others in their time of need. Past that, they want nothing to do with being black all the way down to whom they marry and associate with on a daily basis. He is worth 400-450 million, I will give him this, his lawsuit hustle is very lucrative. I believe he has made more from lawsuits than in his career as a comedian, actor, producer combined. All I’m saying is if you’re going to root for someone, make sure they’ll do the same for you when the time comes.
When u say he wants nothing to do with being black down to the person he married and the company he keeps....That is one of the most ignorant statements I have ever heard. He's not "affiliated" with blacks because he married outside his race?🤔 or because he has friends and associates outside of his race?🤔 You could've made your point without such ignorance being displayed on your part. The company he keeps could be business partners, neighbors, in-laws, etc. I guess every black successful man is not for black ppl if he doesn't surround himself with black ppl and only f*ck black ppl huh? Don't knock his hustle due to racial lead postures....
@@e.b.g7126 I hear you, comprehension is everything. When you don’t congregate with people that look like you, don’t look for support from that same group when something happens to you. Ignorant you say, that’s fine, you have yours and I have mine. Trust me not knocking the hustle. Such vulgar language…. I could elaborate but no need, not enough time on my hands today. I digress my man or woman, you have a great day.
@@stevendeas all skin folk ain't kinfolk. I agree with everything you said. We get emotional and stand with some black folk who wouldn't spit on of us if we we're on fire. If what you saying is true he is an opportunist. Suing McDonald's who posing the black community with their food. He can use his money to truly help the black community with better education and free extra circulatory activities or even housing. Smh
@@yemx5253 Who says he not's doing it? The one's who do the most don't scream from the Mountain Tops.
@@themiseducationoftheameric7407 I highly doubt I dare him or anyone else to prove me wrong
"this was always about green" no truer words have been said!
Somebody tell Byron to sue is wife for racial discrimination!
Thank you! Where has he been all these years! Interesting how they come home to the community when they need help e.g. his businesses and money!
Facts 😂😂
Yet he marries a member of a community that has done such behaviors and when he passes on to glory, his billions of dollars will be refiltered back into the very community that he has these experiences with.
So why you guys don't rise better women to him to marry.
@@zoerpm6493 Worry about your own and the high percentage of WW giving birth to drug babies.
New Black Media exposed him, along with his flankies #Yvette #Tone
@@zoerpm6493 it’s raise clown and so called block women are top of the line just look at the so called White billionaires/millionaires that marry them.
He using his white privilege.
Why doesn’t he just lay down somewhere with his wife. He seems to be about self interest and not our community
You aren't listening to him, are you? It ain't the messenger it's the message
@@Dogen70 The messenger is important. He seems to only have a “good message” when he’s trying to sue for large sums of money. And where does this money go?
We all have to play our part!
Not sure he is for the people, he didn't marry black 🤔
@@Dogen70 :
You hit it on the nail. Most viewers are selectively bias towards him without taking in the substance of his message. Fighting top corporations puts his own life at great risk
So if Byron Allen dropped dead right now (God help me I hope he doesn't) would his millions of dollars go to his black family members?
No
Nope. He's married to a blond Becky...money goes right back to the oppressor.
😂😂
ABSOLUTELY NOT. HIS OWN MAMA WOULD BE LEFT STRUGGLING.
Dismiss, discredit, demonize, destroy. Need more be said.
I don't support Byron Allen because once he dies all of his money goes right back into white hands.
You dont support him because you were raised by a single mom, or a broken father, so your emotional, not logical.
@Margaret Kpeh smh..why do you whites come in black spaces and put yourselves in business you don't even care to understand??
@@j.theeanomaly471 You must be clairvoyant🤔 but remember that old saying when you make assumptions you only make an ass out of yourself ...I grew up with both Parents stupid!! let's talk about your parents or lack thereof.
@@j.theeanomaly471 I know you're not talking!! you need to mind the business that pays you!
@@darklibra7925 I said or a broken father...so even if they were together, for you to think so emotionally and illogically, he failed you. I dont think you were raised in a 2 parent household anyway, but maybe
Byron X out here staging yet another "slip and fall."
I appreciate the fight, but he is married to the very same people who have been disenfranchising us from the beginning..... I have issues because when he dies, that money goes right back into her community, even now. And they have children...... He is still part of the problem.
I still trust men like him that's fighting for us vs. those black couples that move into a white neighborhoods, befriend white people over blacks so the racist can say, "I have black friends'.
@Slim Pickens Dude, it was the law. The only way these people are married is because that same group said it was ok.... I know how wealth in this country works. That's MY issue with it.... BTW, you have no idea what I would or would not fight for. Get out of your emotions.
@Slim Pickens You just don't know enough. And that's ok.
@@chuckscott4661 You also don't know enough to have this conversation. And that's ok.
@@chuckscott4661 Resorting to name calling, not sticking to the facts. Once again, you don't know enough to have this conversation. Your immaturity is showing.
When Byron sues he aims high. McDonald's just go ahead and settle like all of the other companies.
@Derrius Clark
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
👀 I'm taking notes📝
Settling does nothing for getting change for the common Black person. Meaning having beneficial legal standards written into Federal and state law. Settling however does put money and contracts in his and his wife's pocket.
@@praises5139 But McDonalds dont have to use black medias that's kind of stupid trying to force them when barely anyone uses our media in the first place so it would be loss of money on their part and i think he hypocrite sense he says its all about the green and that's true but then says its because of race? that's not how money works or economy works
@@praises5139 common black people choose to be common.
Yet in Jenny McCarthy's book she alleged Byron routinely called the playboy mansion looking for any available blonde. Maybe BW should sue him for racism and lack of opportunity. I bet Byron's wife told him to sue to get her money right or else she would leave his sorry aze.
Lol, like a white woman has never lied…clears throat Carolyn Bryant.
Allen talks black and sleeps white
Puzzling
So is he sharing the monetary relief with others in the community?
Goes to his wife, so right back to them
@@cutflower36 "them" you mean economy sense you know there are African Americans that have jobs under businesses
You first, send us all a part of your daily wages before you count somebody else's money.
Will bw share that 10 billion with bm that they intend to receive from Sachs? 🧐
Never before have I heard such selfish rationale for fighting alleged racial discrimination. Byron Allen is, as the old saying goes, a real piece of work.
Thank you. And he's always saying us but his lifestyle doesn't reflect a "us" mentality.
No matter what you feel about him personally, you must admit his methodology and doctrine are correct.
I dare you to name someone doing a better job or has accomplished more of what he claims to be trying to accomplish. The King family said it all, "Economic Inclusion" is the final frontier.
how typical & expected. you scream white.
He has a blond haired blue eyed wife, who will inherit his wealth.
You are white
Its not a crime
You’re racism is showing.
@@ellew4573 This entire issue is about racism. Byron is only black and talking about racism when it puts money in HIS pocket. Other than that, he's all white.
you wanted to marry him?
What's sad is some of us thinks he's doing it for us.
yeah, ive seen a lot of people not knowing how economy works plus united states economy is basically dying already so everything he has been doing isnt helping anyone and is just destroying the united states economy
Exactly
Even sadder is Black folk who who can't get behind moves powerful Black people make unless somehow it is for them.
@@radioblitz1494 You are the perfect example of someone who does not know how the US economy works, but you are downing a man who does.
@@ighsight I think you dont know how anything works at all, do you think giving money out help the economy? Do you think the government giving millions of dollars help either? No it doesn't its called inflation, we need more business and stop giving out all our jobs to china.
Other than Byron Allen and his white wife, who else will this lawsuit benefit?
Who Byron marries is no one’s business. Not yours either.
It’s monolithic thinking like yours why others think they know how manipulate us. Blacks are diverse. Get with the program.
Bryon Allen is all about money ,nothing to do with the black community .
Why hasn't Allen set up a media company in Nigeria? We need alliances with our own race too.
Yeah, maybe. I think he has to make it big here first. There's never been a strong alliance between Black Americans and Africa. It's so far away.
@@taoman85 its to far, and really no point in making alliance definitely for businesses and the government has no reason to get involved
Why don't you be the one to make that a reality instead of waiting on someone else to do it?
@@ighsight Because I don't own a media company.
@@ojettebrundage2687 You don't have a media company but you have the vision. So YOU build the media company in Nigeria. No disrespect but I'm big on people being willing to put in the work they question others for not doing.
I love Allen but he leverages black out rage to get the himself a bag! What has his company done for black people
How about you start thinking of the bigger picture? The problem with us is that people think that we are owed something. Byron Allen doesnt owe us anything. He owes his family his best. What you are saying is that he is a race hustler in the same line as Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson. Tell me what have they done for black people other than use our grievances to enrich their families on the basis of race alone. Byron Allen is a businesman who is using the laws and the constitution to improve his black business model. If he is successful then black businesses will benefit because they will not want to get sued for exclusion. The the same as the hot coffee lawsuit. Think bigger.
Hes getting the bag cause he's putting his ass on the line for the future leaders who aim to be in that industry. He's making sure they listen with their pockets !! His company allows black entrepreneurs and people who want to break into the industry to do just that with a higher chance of success.
@@coutureleotards I agree
@Rob - bc after slavery they wrote laws that companies like McDonald's are to abide by and honor that they haven't been
@@imperiousrex1873 The got coffee lawsuit was different. Please l, respectfully, do the research. It was initially to pay for the medical bills and compensation loss for lost days at work.
Don't know about his true motives but he says a lot in this interview. I had no idea that Hitler learned a lot about racism from America. Not surprising at all if you think about it.
Yall, why it feel like you gotta hunt down Byron Allen to see what he's up too 🤣. He just pops in, hey community they trying to 🤬 us again, here's how, here's what we need to do.......then 👻😆.
He has a life and a business. He doesn't have to hold our hands but we should appreciate his efforts.
@@woodswal Yeah he's only around speaking about us when he wants more money 🤑
Black, white, Hispanic, Asian men, etc. discriminate against and beat women. It is about power, domination, and sex.
If Black men feel they are treated badly and unfairly, do not treat the women in your lives badly and unfairly.
Settled after lowering the 1866 legal standard of discrimination based on race when SCOTUS heard Allen vs. Comcast. Hope no other laws get the legal standard further lowered with this lawsuit.
This is silly, companies do research to see where to spend their ad dollars to best maximize their profits. When was the last time u turned on the weather channel lol bogus shit. I give Byron credit, he’s slick as fuck, it’s cheaper to settle a bogus lawsuit than pay lawyers to fight it. Also the money comes out of insurance in most cases so it makes sense for the companies to settle. Thanks for not asking any specific or tuff questions as Byron name drops Like it has anything to do with the specifics of his lawsuit
You are absolutely correct he real slick we know his kind !
@@chuckscott4661 I'm powerless you slow you don't fucking know me that's a stupid statement !
Both men are on job interview. Kings real name.. Micheal King. What did King do for black? We were here already. Aboriginal indigenous black indians are us.
............................................................................................................... im going to break my fucking keyboard if you ever call us black again 1. no is every way fucking possible 2. we are brown not black 3. skin color is decided by were you live so give it 100 to 200 years majority of people in our country will turn brown not black or white soooo fuck yall using color to discriminate im beyond tired..... everyone racist cunts LIKE HOLYSHIT
Just a question, how is Byron using his money to help black people.
he doesnt have to?, this isnt communist or Marxist or socialist ... we are capitalist republic
@@radioblitz1494 that is correct and so McDonald’s doesn’t have either!
@@henryJ78 yeah i know
@anna belle who tells them to?? Because we are in capitalism not socialist or communist country the only time you should help is if you want to
@anna belle sorry stimulus check? Bruh I make money I don't need it secondly if you going to say help their own communities maybe they should actually do that instead of destroy it like let's see, many black owned are looted and destroyed, gangs asking money from businesses for "protection" many other things. So maybe shut up and stop being socialist idiot who doesnt know anything about economy
OMG! Thank you Mr Allen…taking notes and ready to do my part!,,
I had no idea about the passage of the great race, that's unbelievable. So much of our education is just propaganda! Learned a lot just from this one video.
He's always suing somebody....
This is about him. Not the culture.
We must also begin to speak politically correctness like in reference to Mr. Allen saying he is a “baad boy”, it’s better to use a positive adjective like excellent or great or even determined anything that’s not obviously potentially negative…🤗
I agree. When I heard him say that Byron Allen is a “baad boy” at that moment, I had the same thought as you did. Sir, think before you speak. Being positive in speech is much more effective than being negative in speech. BOY is a racist word.
you see lamont hill gives Allen zero convo time, "wow" DOES NOT COUNT. he said bye fast. BYRON ALLEN IS 100% CORRECT! if ALLEN'S owners were supportive they would not have had him cut-off. ... DISMISSED.
Sue them till oblivion. Sue every time. Only money talks to these people
So how much did Comcast settle out for? I missed it.
MrD is a private company. This means they can choose who they want to work with or not. He's riding off the coattails of the Liberal Left movement.
I have one question for BA. How will this benefit blacks as a whole and not just him, his family and business partners.
McDonald's is not a private company. It's a public company that trades on the stock exchange.
DAMN Homebody Getting That discrimination Paper lol
I FIND IT DISTASTEFUL THAT HE ALWAYS INVOKES DR KING AND HIS WIFE IN HIS RHETORIC
He can talk about Martin's 2 Americas all he wants. Its not distasteful....its APPROPRIATE AND APPLICABLE. 🤨🤨🤨
All Black folks ain’t kin folks!
I don't agree with many of Lamont's interviews but I fully support this one. Did you hear the message no matter the messenger ?
@@greatness2work818 I still dont understand why he is suing McDonald?
@@radioblitz1494 listen to the interview it’s plain as a day. That’s what’s wrong with us we always quick to judge without even listening. The man is using an old law and right out ancestors fought for after slavery which is fair advertising and opportunity. This was put in place so they wouldn’t discriminate like they have been. That law he is using was put in place right after we were set free from slavery. These major corporations have been violating that right and law for a long time. He is now exposing it and how thru those lawsuits
good show, not sure why all segments are so short?
Not sure how I feel about this
He wants to force Mickey Ds to do business with him, as a Business Owner doesn't he assume THE RISK of a Big Corp like Mickey Ds NOT doing business with him?
Can't he go and get a rival of Mickey Ds to buy those same Ads and take Market Share away from Mickey Ds?
Maybe Mickey Ds wants to use their Ads budget on Networks that show better programming than what he owns?
I need to do more research and see what's up, but at first look it seems like he wants the Govt thru this Lawsuit to eliminate some of his business risk by forcing a Big Corp like Mickey Ds to do business with him
Interesting case
Wow look at all the negative comments... racism is so real in this country. Dismiss, dis credit, demonize, destroy, that describes most of these comments... even our own people don’t get it ...
@Margaret Kpeh
Do your Research, NONE of Byron Allen's Networks put out the kind of crap you listed above, every Black Owned Network doesn't put out BET & TVOne level crappy entertainment
@Margaret Kpeh that sounds like atifa to me. They fit that description.
“Dismiss, Discredit, Demonize, Destroy” OMG I love learning something new that makes sense. #RespecttoByronAllen
Thank you for the knowledge Mr. Allen and BNC!👍🏾
Facts, why don't people expect this reality? 😤...still Fighting The 💪Power!
YAWN!! He wants Black folks to help with his burden, but where is OUR payout$
Yep, it's about "Green," albeit, light green & dark green.
Unless you're blind this whole case is not about Race issues but about the money he could get out of this nonsense frivolous case , i think the law should be regulated to limit how how greed plays in the court of law.

Oh, Byron! Thanks for suing them for US! Will you be sharing OUR winnings with US? Let me know so I can give you my banking info.
The lawsuit is fine, but $10 billion is way too much to ask for. It might make his suit look illegitimate. Lol! 🤣
oh nooooooo
wow 👏
This is real deep and educational.
Prolific, Mr. Allen
#thankyou!!!!!!!
Accountability
This dude is a real one!
Byron Allen is FOS! He only sues when his interests are involved. Give me a break already.
Wow i aint going to McDonald's no more.
WHO'S NOT IN THE HUSTLE GAME
didn't he just lose another lawsuit
You win some, you loose some....
That was the one Marc Lamont was saying about Byron Allen's situation with Comcast!
The companies settled.
They settled. Thats not a lose, sometimes thats the point of bringing one.
Okay what’s he’s purpose, how is helping helping educate black people? It sadden black men talking out the side of their neck
He got Black people working! What more do you want?

But what is he doing with all this money for the people?
have ya'll said anything about jessica reid?
So put aside the rhetoric, this should be straight forward. In 2019. McDonald’s spent $1.6 billion on television advertising in the U.S., with $5 million, or less than 1%, going toward Black-owned media, according to the lawsuit. Ok, so prior to 2018 what was McDonald’s advertising budget on the Weather Network package of channels given it was a "non-Black" business prior to 2018? So speak to the facts, did McDonald’s cut the spending once Byron Allen bought the business? This man' seems to be fairly successful despite all the barriers in his path. Really not sure how he can succeed in a racist world, maybe he would be better off if his spouse became the face of the company but I guess that would undermine his legal dispute.
