The Black Informant | African American Commentary, News and Community Building

The NAACP and a few other civil rights “leaders” pleaded on AT&T’s behalf for the proposed buyout of t-mobile. Their claim was that it would create more jobs for Blacks. Today we find out that the Obama administration fought against the merger and won. Watch how this story gets buried.

From the NAACP

“We believe that the proposed acquisition will have a positive benefit for T-Mobile’s minority employees, vendors and consumers…we are optimistic that this acquisition will further advance increased access to affordable and sustainable wireless broadband services and in turn stimulate job creation throughout our country.”
