Jimmie Lewis Jr., Black NC Radio Personality, Claims He was Fired Because of His Views on Abortion

Jimmie Lewis Jr., longtime black radio personality in Fayetteville, NC, claims he was fired over his position on abortion.

Jimmie Lewis, Jr., a black local radio personality at WFNC in Fayetteville, NC, has been fired. According to Christian News Wire, Lewis was fired because he changed his position on abortion. He changed his position from pro-choice to pro-life after seeing the documentary Maafa 21 - Black Genocide in 21st Century America. The newswire is making the argument that his termination was racially motivated, even though we have a black president, there are certain pockets across the country that have a racial bias.

Lewis was perturbed by the expose' on the agenda of the eugenics movement led by elitists in the United States. He changed his position to pro-life after seeing how population control groups like Planned Parenthood is affecting the black population. He also helped a couple of local pastors, Bobby Fulmore and Johnny Hunter, with the national African-American pro-life organization, LEARN, promote the film, which has been shown in a Cumberland County Public Library.

Jimmie Lewis had served as the sound engineer and co-host on the daily program "Sound Off" which was a call-in program where locals could share their opinions on current issues. Many listeners enjoyed this program because all callers were valued. On Saturday, he hosted the "Swap Shop" where callers would list items to sell or buy. He also hosted Fayetteville Focus on community services and events. Jimmie Lewis let his audience know about his major shift.

Then, the radio station managers decided to change the format and broadcast a conservative radio personality out of Wilmington, North Carolina. Personnel at WFNC were shifted around. Another broadcaster was given "Swap Shop." So, the only black host at the station was the only one to lose his job. As his last week came to an end, Jimmie Lewis did not hold back on the intense feelings. Nor did listeners who did not favor the format change. Source: Christian Wire

I placed a call in to the management of WFNC on their position on the matter. We have not had a response yet. I find it hard to believe that a station would drop a long-time fixture over his personal conviction, unless he was trying indoctrinate his listeners. It should be noted that the radio station has a conservative slant, so wouldn't his pro-life views be in keeping with their views?
