BET’s Bob Johnson Says Part Of Obama’s Success Due To Race

bob

“What I believe Geraldine Ferraro meant (is) 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? And the answer is, probably not.

“Would he also start out with the excitement of starting out as something completely different? Probably not. He would just be a freshmen senator …

Full Story

This guy just can’t keep quiet. If you got nothing positive to say go focus on making more shows like Hell Date.

This dude is corny. First of all black people make up like 13% of this country so 90% of 13% is not going to get you elected, second his name is Barack Hussein Obama, that alone would make some people say hell no to voting for him, third he is a black man running for president and he didn’t even get the backing of the black caucus, or Jesse Jackson, or Al Sharpton he is simply about bringing the country together and bringing change for the greater good of all americans. Bob Johnson is a joke fam, pure ignorance.

Bob Johnson is a billion dollar coon.After years of selling the Black race out for money this sambo has the nerve to sit in judgment of Obama?To hell with this slave F#@$ him and his money.He robbed Black people with 25 years of minstrel television.Sold that pathetic network to Whites,and just today I was in the library reading his book and he said in orderto succeed it is important to partner with Whites!!100 Black owned should not be a goal.This fool is trying to negotiate us back into slavery.

What about when Sharpton and Jesse Jackson ran, they got no love so it aint just about being black.

Bob Johnson is exactly what the “Crabs in a Barrell” theory is all about. Black people are the only race where you gonna get hated on by your own people for no reason but success.

Bob = sellout/crab

Sharpton and Jackson were not successful, so it is not just about the color. Obama is smart, outspoken, motivating, and reaches people who gave up on politics already. No wonder that he gets that many votes when a stupid cowboy like Bush had enough time to mess this country up. Assume JFK would be running today and he’d be speaking to the world just like Obama, then my black a** would vote for him, just because we need someone who does the right thing for ALL the people in this country. oh and btw.. can we please stop talking about this race crap? I don’t effin care if the next President is Asian, Jewish, or Indian! We simply need someone who does the right thing for ALL Americans and this country.

Dang, Bob is so disappointing! You would think a successful black man would support a black man that could help our people! Thats not the case because Bob to busy “yessir bossing” & being a “tom nicca” to do that! Bob got rich from showing alot of buffoonery & misleading countless black kids thru television! Im not throwing stones, but you would think Bob would know how hard it is to do something special!

Obama didn’t start off with 90% of the black vote, Hillary did. Iowa (white folks) validated Obama and made us (blacks) believe he could actually win. 90% of black voters didn’t believe that Obama could actually win anything until Iowa happended.

That is true, Omaba didn’t even start off with Black support. The white folks in the midwest had his back, and Obama girl. Race doesn’t have anything to do with it. He’s bringing new ideas and fresh approach. A rookie white senator might not have the same ideas as a rookie mixed senator (Obama). JFK was a rookie white senator, but he had a new approach and wanted change.

Bob Johnson is just out to distroy Black folks.

This is one of those things that is known, but does not need to be said. Is Obama getting alot of black votes cause he is in fact black? possibly. but is he also getting those votes cause he’s a strong candidate that represents us extremely well, definitely. If Al Sharpton was running, I wouldnt be voting. Obama is the new face of hope. If it was a white man up there, saying exactly what Obama is saying and representing, I would be voting for that candidate.

Why ya’ll getting upset? Those comments he said are 100% true. I ask my friends why they’re voting for Obama…and not one can give me an issue. They say, “I like the way he talks”, or “he is a postive role model” That’s great, but what about his stand on the environment or how he is going to help our economy.

#24 kylix’… while you over there worrying about obama you should worry about george bush, and say the same shit about him instead of picking on Obama. But then again Bob Johnson is actually right but for the wrong reason, It coming out of his mouth HA HA HA funny he probably mad cuz he ain’t running for president, He doesn’t have that type of success that Obama has, It’s sad how this is turning a lil racial. but i guess these is the racial reality of how people think and how thing really go. I think Obama is better then this election, If i was him i would get out of the election only cuz of the shit becoming racial. A persons skin color oppose to how intelligent that person is is a totally different thing. I bet if it was 2 white man up there shit will be normal, But being that it Obama shit is getting a lil racist. I think people just didn’t believe in Obama from day one and now that he is winning it becoming a big problem. And one of the probably is the color of his skin i think people should stop hating on Obama. I mean look at what bush is doing to are country, But instead people are more worry about Obama skin color what a shame. I think people should quick talk about his skin color if your willing to support Obama cuz you know the benefit that you will get then vote for him. And if you don’t want to support him then don’t but don’t get on him cuz of his skin color. And who care about the different colors of people who voted for him wheather they started off with white or black voters who care, It just sad how people are picking on Obama as beneficial and smart as he is, But hilary with her dumb ass is somewhere else chilling probably laughing at the way Obama’s own people are hating on him.

I’m not saying don’t vote for Obama and neither is Bob Johnson. All I’m saying is his skin color gives him an advantage with black people. Just like you said, if it was two white guys running this wouldn’t be a topic right now. Your 100% right. Realtalkny will not post this topic if two white guys were running against each other. Where was the Will.I.AM when Kerry was running against Bush? Did he make a song so Kerry would get more support. If you don’t see that Obama has an advantage because of his skin color, then your being ignorant.

Bob Johnson is your “Typical Succesful” Black who makes it. They are so quick to firget where they come from and hate to see another Black become as successful as them.
