She warned , “Well, he better hope that they don’t come for you, Clarence, and say you should not be married to your wife — who happens to be white, because they will move that, and you better hope that nobody says ‘you know you’re not in the constitution you’re back to being a quarter of a person.'”

African Americans in Gaming sign partnership deal with SBC

SBC and African Americans in Gaming have agreed to a deal that sees the organization become a strategic partner of the leading sports betting and igaming event in North America. The partnership comes ahead of the SBC Summit North America 2022, taking place at Meadowlands Exposition Center, New Jersey, July 12-14.

The African Americans in Gaming act as a professional support organization for African Americans throughout the gaming industry and welcomes operators, suppliers, legislators, board members, and other industry professionals. 

The organization’s focus lies on advancing the ownership, employment, governance, and regulatory impact of African American interests. Alex Dixon, CEO & President of Q Casino and Co-chair of the organization, has also made it his mission to coach and mentor future executives to ensure more diversity in the industry.

The new strategic partner will throw the ‘African Americans in Gaming’ networking event during the leading sports betting and igaming tradeshow next month. Better Collective, a digital sports media group and a prominent affiliate in U.S. and European markets, will sponsor and host the event at Booth 223 on Thursday, July 14, at 2:00 PM.

The partnership with the African Americans in Gaming will help SBC drive awareness of its busy schedule of industry events. From its side, SBC will give the organization a platform to share insights on making the sports betting and online casino industry more diverse. 

Alex Dixon, Co-Chair of African Americans in Gaming, said: “My goal at SBC Summit North America is to have some friendly discussions with industry stakeholders on the value of the African American consumer, who is currently massively overlooked by the industry. I believe the industry needs to start working on acquiring data that will help them realize the true potential of this customer segment and optimize their strategies accordingly to maximize their revenues. The problem is – nobody has this data. This is something that needs to change. I am confident SBC will help us share our message.”

Cristian Robalino, VP of Marketing, Americas, at SBC, said: “It is essential for SBC to ensure that our events encourage discussions on inclusivity. Making the industry more diverse and examining the value of the African American consumer can be instrumental for the future success of the companies operating in the United States.”

The SBC Summit North America will allow access to the industry’s most innovative products and expose its visitors to two full days of thought-provoking content. The conference will host multiple panel discussions outlining the state of the industry in North America, the challenges faced, and the issues surrounding the legalization of sports betting and online casino gaming in the region.

Sen. Cory Booker Statement on Supreme Court Decision Overturning Roe v. Wade

Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), issued the following statement on the Supreme Court overturning Roe vs Wade:

“Today the Supreme Court defied nearly a half-century of legal precedent by stripping Americans of one of their most fundamental freedoms: the right to decide what happens to their own body.

“Overturning Roe v. Wade will harm countless Americans, particularly those facing the most unthinkable of circumstances, such as in the case of rape, incest, or if someone’s life is put in danger by forcing them to carry a pregnancy to term. In no uncertain terms, the Supreme Court today told Americans they have no right to make their own healthcare decisions.

“This radical decision is the result of a decades-long assault waged by Republicans to undermine Americans’ constitutional rights. That assault will only accelerate in the weeks and months ahead. More than half of American states are certain or likely to ban abortion with Roe v. Wade overturned; 13 of them already have laws that immediately ban abortion with a decision overturning Roe. And we know that congressional Republicans will move forward with legislation to ban abortion nationwide if given the opportunity.

“Today’s decision must also be the beginning of a new fight. The lives of countless people are now endangered. It is now up to us to deliver on efforts to protect Americans’ most basic and fundamental rights. And we will never give up until the cause of freedom is again won.”
