Diversity Czar wants "more people of color, gays" in media

"And unless we are conscious of the need to have more people of color, gays, other people in those positions, we will not change the problem. But we're in a position where you have to say who is going to step down so someone else can have power."

Mark Lloyd, the FCC Diversity czar, has called for white media personalities to step down in favor of "people of color, gays and other people". Mr. Lloyd had described dictator Hugo Chavez's rise to power as "an incredible revolution - a democratic revolution."

WTF is happening to our country? Washington Times

President Obama's diversity czar at the Federal Communications Commission has spoken publicly of getting white media executives to "step down" in favor of minorities, prescribed policies to make liberal talk radio more successful, and described Hugo Chavez's rise to power in Venezuela "an incredible revolution." [...]

Mr. Lloyd spoke about the need to remove white people from powerful positions in the media to give minorities a fairer chance.

"There's nothing more difficult than this because we have really truly, good, white people in important positions, and the fact of the matter is that there are a limited number of those positions," he said.

"And unless we are conscious of the need to have more people of color, gays, other people in those positions, we will not change the problem. But we're in a position where you have to say who is going to step down so someone else can have power."

He added: "There are few things, I think, more frightening in the American mind than dark-skinned black men. Here I am."
The only frightening thing in my mind is some unelected official replacing successful talk radio hosts with neo-Marxists.
