First of all, you don't know that I believe. But I already said what would happen by some "liberals".

A successful Black man, one who made his billions through hard work who praises Trump's polices would automatically attacked by the "liberal democrats". You just proved it again.

It's prime example of what the the Democrat party has come to represent. People of color aren't allowed to be successful and participate in the American dream like Johnson. If they do, Democrats will demonize them. Best to keep them on that Democrat Plantation so they can be victims.

WOW!
"I think the economy is doing great, and it’s particularly reaching populations that heretofore had very bad problems in terms of jobs and employments and the opportunities that come with employment," said Johnson, adding "African-American unemployment is at its lowest level… I give the president a lot of credit for moving the economy in a positive direction that’s benefiting a large amount of Americans."

Cancel culture is very popular in the black community especially amongst black academics.

If he could dribble a ball maybe he would be held in “high esteem”

What a load of manure.

He's a long term Democrat too (a video so some to hear it for themselves). For someone who is a Democrat to say this...that's a little big.

Actually he paid his own money to return the NBA to Charlotte. i.e. Charlotte Bobcats which is now known as the Charlotte Hornets. If it had not been for that, there would be no NBA in North Carolina.

LOL - I'm not a liberal democrat, so how did I prove anything.

I also agree with Bob Johnson that the party is moving to far to the left lol.

I am "successful." I just pointed out the idiocy of you thinking that "liberals" care about what Bob Johnson says. I also mentioned this was a hot story on black media, where more people would care about it, and the main thing people talked about was how he sold off his company to allow black people to be stereotyped.

Point being, you are out of touch with who is criticizing him and his comments. Contrary to what you seem to believe, being black doesn't mean someone is a liberal, not even if they vote Democratically. I've not seen this as a hot topic of white liberals, only black people/media.

Bob Johnson is a Christian and that automatically means he has some conservative leans as do over 80% of black Americans. His "centrist" comments are more than likely based upon his Christian ideology along with his fiscal responsibility mindset - I'll note that the GOP of late are not really all that good stewards of fiscal responsibility.

The main reason why black people don't support Trump is because of his prejudicial comments and the fact that personally he is a vile person. Also his birther history with Obama and his history of discrimination in NYC along with the comments he made about the Central Park 5. Many black people were aware of him and his prejudice before he became president, unlike, it seems, many of you supporters. We also are not apt to vote for people who we deem to be racist and prone to stereotyping us or co-signing stereotypes of us.

this carries no weight with these liberals ... guess he was black privileged...or maybe some other excuse.

life through the prism of an 8X8 cubicle...

Yet it was started by a gay man who voted for Hillary. Read and watch some of the testimonies yourself.
It’s a hustle with little traction.

One thing I will give this guy and a few others credit for is knowing how to fleece GOPers. He was a broke liberal who realized going to the other side would open up a ton of funding opportunities because the GOP lives nothing more than to prop up Black voters who leave the party.

Umm, he owned an NBA team.

Seriously, do some research before posting nonsense.

If you aren’t with these CD members you are automatically a commie loving liberal.

They wake up and scream liberals before getting out of bed.
