Message For The Black Blogosphere

Periodically, I will throw a few ideas onto my blog...with the hopes that I can spark some interest and that someone may borrow the idea.... there are no copyrights on any of my ideas, because I don't want money and I don't want any glory (although you could give me credit for the idea). I'm sure others have already come up with some of these ideas already.

But (especially for the Afrosphere folks)....

A Suggestion

#1.
*Someone needs to begin putting together a master list (on one page) of all the Broadcasting companies...like Clear Channel, Emmis Broadcasting... BET, Viacom, etc etc... including the names of the people who run those companies.... the exec staff, etc.

*All the offending record companies AND the key executives...

* The e-mail and traditional mailing addresses to all of these entities...

* Names, Addresses, Execs of key advertisers, etc....

* Names and contact info for people at big media (ABC, CBS, CNN, NPR, etc) who we could lobby to get a story on the air about what we are doing and who we are targeting.

This would basically be our dossier or master list... so that when it is time to move with a letter writing campaign and when we try to get big media to pick up a story (so that we can shame these folks) we will be ready to go right out of the starting gate...without searching for that information. This kind of info will probably take a couple of weeks to compile.

#2. Someone also needs to begin the tedious task of compiling a list of all the offending rappers.... their real names.... who they work for, who their corporate sponsors are, etc. This could be the second part of the dossier. This way... when we have to target someone... we already know what sponsor to go after.... we can also target their tours if we could find the tour schedules in time.
