This will certainly rile up the leftists and strike fear into the Democrat party.

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."

And he likes what the Trump economy is doing for the African American community. He should know it better than most. BTW, the founder of BET earned that money by providing something that people needed.

Well, he is representative of black billionaires, whom will surely break for President Trump next year. Winning!

Lol...what did people need? BET? Please.

Ask the average black person (if you actually know any...doubtful) what they think of BET.

LMAO @ “walkaway is real!”

Robert Johnson isn’t held in any kind of esteem in Black America. Like, the guy has NO traction whatsoever. Black folks don’t look up to him anymore than white people look up to Mark Cuban. He’s just some dude.

African Americans aren’t walking away from anything, and if and when we do walk away, it won’t be towards Trump. Put money on it. Black folks hate Trump. Black folks even hate black folks that like Trump.

I have been saying all along that if the left really wants a chance against Trump in 2020 they have to get away from their obsession with identity politics, gender/self-identification nonsense, reparations, freebies for everyone, hating whites, etc. They will lose in a landslide obsessing about this tripe.

The left needs to get someone in there who is not a career politician and who is a successful business person. This individual needs to focus on the average working American, the middle class, worker rights, etc. Robert Johnson is absolutely correct. The current "left" is very, very strange. Long gone are the JFK days.

He got rich by selling his soul & integrity to the devil when he sold BET to Viacom which is the parent company of MTV.
BET is a shell of its former self.

As opposed to the Conservative "men are men, women are women"/"we'll pay for your crop losses"/"we hate Brown & Black people" platform?

Conservative identity politics are fine for a campaign, but Liberals can only talk about making more money.

Typical deflection technique of slandering the person instead of the point he made. What part of what he said about giving Trump "a lot of credit for moving the economy in a positive direction that's benefitting a large amount of Americans" do you not think is true?

You are trying to deflect from that because you know it's true so instead you went after the person.

You Leftists are so sneaky.
