Presidents Trump’s Justice department is siding with Comcast against Black media mogul Byron Allen.

Allen contends Comcast does not have a good record of contracting with minority-owned broadcasters. White House Correspondent April Ryan adds if Comcast wins the Supreme Court case it could set Civil Rights back in this nation. The NAACP and the Urban League have spoken out against Comcast’s challenge to a 153 year old Civil Rights law.
