Facebook is boring. If you click on ANYTHING you get inundated with thousands of boring things somewhat like the thing you clicked on, but nowhere near as interesting. :( It's awful and a waste of time.

TakeBackWBAI is a listener group (not sponsored by WBAI or Pacifica). We believe in community control of media. TakeBack formed in 2009 when the popular, radical, African American Program Director Bernard White was unjustly fired. The “Indy” faction on the WBAI board, led by white millionaire Steve Brown (see www.whoisstevebrown.wordpress.com ) led the purge. The firing of Bernard and other radical producers of color throughout Pacifica was part of the “gentrification of media”--a nation-wide backlash to the advances made by people of color in education and media after the Civil Rights movement. Since then, WBAI membership has dropped from 20,000 to 6,000.
The Justice & Unity Campaign ( www.justiceunity.org ) and other anti-racist groups like WBAI Rising are fighting to re-imagine and rebuild WBAI, in particular through multi-media cooperation with Manhattan Neighborhood Network, the public TV channel in NYC).
