VERIZON PULLS THE PLUG: Communication behemoth shows TechNigga the door.

As reported yesterday, Verizon was under fire for picking up a distribution deal with 1938 Media, which created a video blog called “TechNigga.”

The concern regarding the deal between Verizon Wireless and 1938 Media was led by Najee Ali of Project Islamic Hope and Paul Porter of Industry Ears in an effort to maintain respect from Verizon Wireless to its African American customers.

Verizon heard the complaints of the groups and fortunately for all involved sided with those who feel that 1938 Media -- along with its founder Loren Feldman who is the star of TechNigga -- “promotes racism.”

Verizon Wireless, as immediately as yesterday morning, said that “clips from 1938 media were moved off our service this morning." Organizers Najee Ali and Paul Porter, were satisfied with the immediate attention Verizon gave to the concerns of the community.

VERIZON UNDER FIRE BECAUSE OF 'TECHNIGGA' BLOG:

When you're a white guy and you do a video blog called "TechNigga," you're just begging for attention (and asking for trouble), to put it mildly.

Like the saying goes, be careful what you ask for 'cause you just might get it. Well that's the case with one Loren Feldman of 1938 Media.


So it comes as no surprise that Feldman has got the rapt attention of activists Najee Ali of Project Islamic Hope and Paul Porter of Industry Ears as well as several civil rights organizations.


The coalition is calling for Lowell C. McAdam, President and CEO of Verizon Wireless, to withdraw a distribution deal he recently signed with Feldman's company.
