Bob Johnson Does it Again

Is anyone surprised that Bob Johnson is supporting Geraldine Ferraro's comments about who Obama wouldn't be where he is if he wasn't black.

ahh the same Bob Johnson who founded BET and then sold it off... goodbye black owned television.

A quote from Mr. Johnson in a CNN article today,
"What I believe Ferraro meant is that if you take a freshman senator from Illinois called ‘Jerry Smith’ and he says I’m going to run for president, would he start off with 90 percent of the black vote?"

Well in response to Mr. Johnson... if he was a democrat who had a strong record with the black community, he probably would... Bill Clinton basically did. This conversation sounds a lot like the debates on Affirmative Action. As someone with the same background as Obama, it bothers me that Mr. Johnson would assume that Obama's race is what makes him popular. As a black male himself, does Mr. Johnson really believe that the black community is that superficial? How rude!

Mr. Johnson:
I strongly disagree with your point of view. My counter argument consists of two words: Clarence Thomas.
He's black, but has never gained the support of the black community like Obama has. Gosh darn it, maybe Obama is just what the people want.
