Black Entertainment founder reacts to campaign race baiting

"To me, as an African-American, I am frankly insulted the Obama campaign would imply
that we are so stupid that we would think Hillary and Bill Clinton, who have
been deeply and emotionally involved in black issues - when Barack Obama was
doing something in the neighborhood; I won't say what he was doing, but he
said it in his book - when they have been involved,"
-Black Entertainment Television founder Bob Johnson

-This is not good. First, it's Hillary is a racist, now it's Obama's a druggie.
When are we ever going to learn?

2. Actually, first it was Shaheen in NH suggesting that
Obama might have sold drugs. That was a couple of weeks ago, or more.

4. I just saw the clip. He was clearly trying to talk
about Barack's cocaine thing. It was pathetic.

6. "Barack Obama was doing something in the neighborhood; I won't say what he was doing"
Don't say he was community organizing - that would be shameful :rofl:

8. Oh Go Back to Supporting Bush's
policy on privatizing SS Mr. Johnson.

He hangs with 43 on certain policies - another cocaine user in the 80's.

9. Maybe he'll have Andrew Young on saying that Bill's *more black* than Obama because he's bedded more
black women. All those wealthy insiders who happen to be African American are not on "The Same Plantation" because they have been bolstered to be the lauded "house servants." :crazy:

"We're all happy to be RICH and living in a right wing duopoly PLANTATION where *OUR MEAN GREEN* trumps all ... why, I'm not black, I'm FILTHY RICH and A Clintonian all the WAY!"
