Where are these “Christian Conservatives” buying up media (and how does that relate to Bullerdick, who doesn’t seem “Christian”)? While talk radio may lean conservative (partially because it sells ads, where AirAmerica went bankrupt), most TV and print seems to be liberal. Also, why is “conservative influence” so bad? As I look around the country at cities that are in financial trouble, most look to have been run by liberals for a long time. What’s your take?

Black women should, please, stop buying and reading Essence Magazine!

As a longtime reader of Essence magazine, your absurd post about black women being comfy with”da white man” takes the greatest amount of delusional ranting, offensive rent I've ever read. ESSENCE mag, not withstanding this scandal, had always, ALWAYS been positive of black men. Your foolish accusation is insulting and you clearly have selective amnesia since MORE BLACK MEN MARRY WHITE WOMEN. Do not go there.

I was saddened when I learned that it had sold out to white corporate interests. I knew then that that would be its death knell. I stopped subscribing shortly thereafter. This is a sad, yet predictable episode, for a once great magazine. We need to try to hold on tightly to the few significant institutions that we have, because this is what happens when we give up ownership to those who don't have our interests at heart. We reap the costs! Hang on in there Ebony! Essence for yrs was my fav magazine, but it became a shell of itself when it was taken over by Time Warner.

Maybe there's an equally talented ,experienced replacement on the market . color ?? It is so unfortunate that Vetting this talented gentleman did not reveal his anti-black rage stripes.

I wonder why they never did find a black female from a black college to be in this position. If they get a real black female and a younger one too.This can put some real soul back(black) into this magazine.

This is not Racism, we are to happy to be accepted, instead of building our empire first. We are not in an equal status yet, and when they invite us in it is lay off time, outsource time, or let's get rid of this business time! Don't be so happy to invite the copy cats and haters in. Yeah there maybe 3 out of ten that truly believe in equality, but that's about it. Give your own a chance first! Let's be first on our totem pole!! Thank You.
