@gloryholepodcast via People A radio show host for the Buffalo, New York-based 97 Rock was fired, and two others suspended, after they took part in a racist on-air exchange the station's parent company said was in "violation" of its principles. A spokesperson for Cumulus Media confirmed to PEOPLE in a statement that The Morning Bull Show host Rob Lederman had been "swiftly terminated" in light of comments he made comparing the skin tones of famous Black women to numbered toaster settings "CUMULUS MEDIA operates from a clearly-defined set of programming principles and there is no question that Rob Lederman's comments made on The Morning Bull Show are in direct violation of those principles," the statement read. "We swiftly terminated him and suspended the remainder of the show's on-air talent. We apologize, and deeply regret the incident." In a 45-second audio clip shared to Twitter by EPSN reporter Marcel Louis-Jacques, Lederman says, "I may get into trouble for this," before going on to mention stars like Serena Williams, Halle Berry and Gayle King. Lederman, who did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment, told the outlet that he was "horrified" when he listened back to a recording of the broadcast. "I could easily see how someone could be offended by that. I get that," Lederman said. "It sounds terrible, and it is terrible... Now, can I take back those words? No. If you listen to them, were they meant to be hurtful? Absolutely not." #virginradiotoronto #karensgonewild ##revolt #revolttv #revoltblacknews #theshaderoomteens #balletalert #teaandtheshade #hollywoodunlocked #tmz #97rock # https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/
Brian (Waterhead Bo) Bennett So who was the biggest black kingpin of all time? Just how do you measure that? Money, volume of dope, power, cultural impact? Perhaps it was Frank Matthews… you can learn more about him in my documentary “The Frank Matthews Story” link. But in terms of documented transactions that we know about for sure, who was convicted in court: One man stands alone. Brian “Waterhead Bo” Bennett. Bennett and his Colombian Partner, Mario Villabona, were eventually convicted of moving nearly l5 thousand kilos that they talked about on certain wiretaps between December of 1987 and November of 1988. Some of the loads were as large as 1000 kilos and cheaper than $9,000 dollars each wholesale. That’s 1500 keys a month for nearly a year. And that’s just on the wiretapped phones. Who knows how much he really sold in total. Claims are made about this one and that one selling more, but 15,000 keys sold for sure is the most we know about for any black dealer. Waterhead B
