BET Founder: Referring to actions such as "changing names, toppling statues, [and] firing professors because they said all lives matter," Johnson explained that "it just shows to me that white America is continually ... incapable of recognizing that black people have their own ideas and thought about what's in their best interests."

He suggested that black people should be consulted before people take actions like tearing down statues or firing someone for a comment they have made.

Oh, I gotta do something for the negroes to make them feel better.' Well ask us if we want you to do that to make us feel better," he said.

Johnson likened white people's actions attempting to make black people "feel good" to "rearranging the deck chairs on a racial Titanic. It absolutely means nothing," he said.

You know black people, in my opinion, black people laugh at white people who do this, the same way we laugh at white people who say we got to take off the TV shows."

Yep. Totally agree with him. I said as much the other day. BLM and the post George Floyd movement is being driven by whites on the left. I don't want whites seeking to represent and speak for me when I am capable of doing it for myself. Their actions do not speak for me or represent my interest. The black people aligned with them are not representing black interest either.

The only movements for black people that I support are those led and dominated by black people.

He can speak until the end of time, and it just ain't happening.

Good, then hopefully white people will realize they are unwanted and unappreciated and stop. The only movement that is only for one race of people I support is a movement for white people.

He's free to spend his own $$$ whatever way he chooses to, likely gonna come up short on $14 trillion though.

Why would he bother to address the 70% of black families children growing up without a father in the house.

I fear the backlash his type of shrill message is going to cause.... Cue Van Jones.

Maybe they can use the $14,000,000,000 to help fix the cities that were destroyed.

For once, I agree with you.

Wait...i thought it was "thugs" (and we all know what that means) and the like doing all this damage and causing all the trouble by looting and rioting.

Now it's white people? You guys just can't make up your minds.
But it's what to expect from the right as they try to divide people.
