You know what's dumb? Pulling a "black-owned" racial card every time there is anything happening, even if the rules have nothing to do with race.

What's dumb is not comprehending the wider impact.

> The owner of Knoxville, Tennessee's only Black-owned radio station

You may recognize Tennessee from such hits as "Tennessee legislature expels 2 Black representatives".

Is there an implication that because a state did something likely racist that a federal agency is motivated by the same racism? Are there white station owners with felonies?

Nothing like claiming something is racist by being racist.

Those representatives were inciting violence to perpetuate the ongoing mutilation of minors in the fraudulent field of gender affirming care. They just happened to also be black.

To be fair, the third representative wasn't expelled, because she was a woman, last I saw, but their probably is more details than that.

Rules can have a higher impact to some races vs other races. Like this rule affect blacks more since they only make up 13% of the population but make up 34% of felons out there.
