17:06Now PlayingByron Allen, CEO of Entertainment Studios is suing Comcast and Charter Communications for $20 billion dollars over racial discrimination.
Allen claims that the companies wouldn't carry his networks or even meet with him, because Entertainment Studios is a minority-owned company. He also says the networks were in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which prohibits racial discrimination in contracting.
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case, and if Allen wins it would be a major victory for Black-owned companies and Black media.
