The NAACP has asked Comcast to leave the Civil Rights Act alone in Byron Allen's racial discrimination lawsuit.
The NAACP, the United States' oldest civil rights organization, has weighed in a $20 billion racial discrimination suit between Comcast and Byron Allen's Entertainment Studios facing the Supreme Court, according toA statement from the NAACP reads in part,"Although the NAACP takes no position on the underlying dispute, we have decided to take the lead on this issue.
Section 1981 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color and ethnicity when making and enforcing contracts. It applies to all private employees and labor organizations and prohibits retaliation. Allen, who is African American, contends that Comcast and Charter both violated the Civil Rights Act after he attempted to get the cable systems to carry his networks. They were already available on other systems, such as Dish and DirecTV. Since Entertainment Studios is fully minority-owned, Allen believes race plays a factor in their decision.
Byron Allen and his son Lucas Allen attend the basketball game between Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors during Game Six of Round One of the 2019 NBA Playoffs at Staples Center on April 26, 2019 in Los Angeles, California.Urban Intellectuals reports that in the past, Allen has named the NAACP in a $10 billion lawsuit for taking donations from corporations like Comcast, claiming the group was helping major companies cover up discriminatory practices.
Comcast responded to the NAACP's statement by saying,"This case arises from a frivolous discrimination claim that cannot detract from Comcast's strong civil rights and diversity record or our outstanding record of supporting and fostering diverse programming from African American owned channels."
