Reprising A Four-Year-Old Story That Has Timed Off AFNN Regarding Robert Johnson.
My original story that was published on ~30 June 2021 called out Black Entertainment Television (BET) and Chairman of RLJ Companies billionaire Robert Johnson with a storyline title of: Just Because you’re a Billionaire, doesn’t Mean You’re Smart: First Black Billionaire Robert Johnson Shows His Butt and it Looks Like Irony
The bottom line up front is that Johnson-at the time (June 2021) was parroting a call for reparations during a time when Black Liberation Revival Movement idjiots were at their near peak of power advocating for the destruction of the black nuclear family, while their leaders were busy buying mansions and living the good life. That was then.
I’m not sure this qualifies as redemption, but Johnson was recently in the headlines again only this time it was for donating 500K dollars to the gubernatorial campaign of Virginia Lt. Governor republican Winsome Earl-Sears. Sears is an immigrant, black woman who served in the United States Marine Corps.
The donation came after Sears spoke at an Arlington School Board hearing on the ridiculous policy that allows sexually dysphoric males-so called “trans females”-to use bathrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender choice vice their biological sex.
Demonstrators showed up (why wouldn’t they) and one perpetrated an amazingly ignorant act of racism at a reportedly Soros funded protest where a white woman was holding a sign that stated words to the effect that if “trans can’t share your bathroom then you can’t share my water fountain.”
Fellow protestors initially did nothing about this blatantly racist sign, although several were later observed conferring with the woman who would eventually stop protesting with the sign. What would have caused someone to put their racist thoughts and words on a sign to be observed on the internet by millions of viewers?
Sears apparent heinous crime was expressing her opinion about the continuing Virginia incendiary topic of Title IX protection for women, specifically the Dominion State’s continuing problem of males being allowed to use female bathrooms and participate in female sports competitions. Having an opinion on this topic-which has mindlessly been translated as anti-trans, apparently enables a person to go to the darkest corner of political argument where racial animus and/or violence is an acceptable response to some.
Sears’ comments (from the above piece):
“Just imagine, are you going to have a biological male undressing in the same gym room as you? Full frontal nude?” said Earle-Sears. “That’s what we’re asking our high school boys and girls to be together nude in the same locker room. This is nonsense. This is not common sense. It will cause both boys and girls to suffer sexual trauma.”
Regarding the racist sign, she stated:
“I’m disgusted, but not surprised,” Earle-Sears said. “This is the ‘tolerant’ left Abigail Spanberger defends. I’m the sitting Lieutenant Governor, second in command in the former Capitol of the Confederate States. I’m an immigrant, a Marine, and above all, a human being. There is no place for this disgusting hatred in our Commonwealth. Anyone who doesn’t condemn this sign is complicit in approving it.”
Johnson’s charitable response is righteous and surprising, as he is not one known to support republicans or republican causes. One would hope his motivation stems from righteousness and common sense based upon supporting solid candidates that believe in the values and fairness of a society in which he excelled in business to the point of becoming a billionaire.
Or even if his decision was predominately to support a black candidate and not because of the racist attitudes of the Soros funded lunatics pushing an agenda to elevate sexually dysphoric males (and females) who want special privileges, treatment and attention by the public on their terms, while somehow avoiding the professional psychological treatment they need.
Johnson’s original call for reparations was simplistic and to the point: cold hard cash to the tune of some 14 Trillion dollars. From the article:
Calling reparations the “affirmative action program of all time,” Johnson said they would send the signal that white Americans acknowledge “damages that are owed” for the unequal playing field created by slavery and the decades since with a “wealth transfer to white Americans away from African Americans.”
Which is why my original article started with a theme based upon the thought that “just because you are a billionaire doesn’t mean you are smart.”
Contrast Johnson’s opinion with a fellow black businessman-Merck Chairman and CEO Ken Frazier who feels that rather than relying on the government and taxpayers, more can be done from within the community:
Later on “Squawk Box” Merck Chairman and CEO Ken Frazier, who is black, expressed doubts about whether reparations would be possible. “I don’t believe we’ll be able to get anything like that through our political system.” However, he said, “Leaders in the business community have to be a unifying force. They can be a source of opportunity. They can be a source of understanding.”
“We as business leaders can step up and solve many of these economic problems for people,” Frazier added, saying that education, particularly financial literacy, is the “great equalizer.”
My article is below, but here are just a few thoughts in the way of highlights. By the year 2020 or so blacks in America had reached the point where over 70% (73%) of births were to single parents obviously out of wedlock. Upwards of 46% of those families were below the US poverty line. Lifelong challenges result from these life facts, including perennial under achievement in education, high correlation with early drug use, early incidence and habitual crime, higher incidences of disease and early death typically through violence: murder by other blacks.
Picking up on my earlier article (from June 2021.) I often ignore obvious stupidity when I encounter it: there is so much of it flying around these days that you could find yourself engaging and lowering your IQ 30 points getting all twisted up over it (and some of us can’t afford that type of drop…)
But this insufferable idjiot went way past stupid to insufferable and ignorant. Robert Johnson became the first black billionaire by founding (and selling) BET. He has confirmed for us that notwithstanding what many believe, being worth a billion dollars does not make one smarter, more logical or sufferable.
He’s been a very successful entrepreneur, having founded and then sold BET to Viacom in 2001 and gone on to found RLJ Companies and at one time was a majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats. He is a Princeton graduate.
One has to feel for the “billionaire guy” speaking out for reparations and an apology from America-from the government-on behalf of the people. Becoming the first black billionaire was obviously hard to do in such a racist environment where scores of white supremacists are crushing your every dream, ambition and initiative-such as attending a good college.
Can you imagine how much he might have made if his ancestors would have stayed in whatever country they started in? He might have been the first gazillionaire! In fact, if my ancestors had been from there and stayed instead of coming to America from Canada in the 20th century like some Johnny-come-lately, maybe I could have made that gazillion as well: although I would settle for the billion, but not if it makes me stupid.
I think the most irritating part about this story is the fact that he would have you believe that he thinks the govt-who has no money that has not been given to them by a taxpayer or printed out of a press with nothing to back it up but-taxes-and I’m thinking he may be aware of this as an entrepreneur and businessperson-wants you to believe that he is sincere about this nonsense!
With his platform I might be tempted to address the fact that 73% of black homes are single parent, lacking a father figure. Or that such a condition results in poverty for over half of these families, as well as early drug use in children, and lack of accomplishment in education. Or maybe the issue of black-on-black violence in places like Chicago, where the closure rate on murders is around 44%.
Nope: he’s not touting or addressing any of those issues. From the piece:
The new “reparations” is critical race theory education, it’s the housing grant program in Evanston, Illinois, it’s the $5 billion of targeted support and debt relief for Black farmers, and it’s the $50 billion in corporate pledges in the wake of George Floyd’s murder dedicated to combating systemic racism and inequality. (Even though just $250 million, or 0.5%, has actually materialized so far.)
So none of my points above merit consideration or emphasis: reparations is apparently the key to making black people “whole.”
How could somebody who is an advocate for black people be supportive of Critical Race Theory, when one of its Marxist based principles calls for the elimination of the black nuclear family, the idea that a family consists of a husband, a mother and children? Any sane assessment of the current state of the black family and the figures on poverty would reject CRT and the Black Liberation Revival Movement out of hand.
He is also out of step with our president (Biden) who stated years ago “I’ll be damned if I feel responsible to pay for what happened 300 years ago.” Course he was a senator at the time and felt free to express his actual thoughts and beliefs, as opposed to what he is ”allowed to espouse” as president today by his handlers.
As well as our stalwart Vice President, whose family-owned slaves and have basically disavowed some of her sycophantic comments about legalizing pot.
It’s interesting that many advocates for reparations, who believe and pound the point that America is truly a nation of immigrants and that it is our strength. But somehow contort this belief into the idea that those immigrants-particularly if guilty of being white-should pay reparations to people who were never slaves notwithstanding that they never owned slaves.
I wonder if Johnson believes that northerners who died in the Civil War-and there were quite a few of them (142K killed in the war, 365K total) should be exempt from reparations? Or how about those immigrants that came post-Civil War during the early 20th century that weren’t here and had nothing to do with slavery? Of course, many of these folks are guilty of being white.
How ironic would it be if a family with a tradition of military service whose ancestors fought and died in the Civil War over states’ rights are asked to pay reparations because of slavery to people who were never slaves and likely have no ancestors who were slaves?
But here are his own words in justifying why this is a priority-even with all the other problems going on in our country:
Johnson made racially divisive comments about white people in an interview with CNBC last week, saying that reparations were a chance for “white Americans” to express “forgiveness and manifest their atonement to Black Americans.”
Johnson made divisive comments in an interview last year with Fox News anchor Bret Baier when he said that “unless white America recognizes the need for reparations to atone for this, this country will always be, as the Kerner Commission reports it, separate and unequal.”
I’m writing about this topic because of the continuous, silly comments that continue to come out about this issue. But having spent the better part of some 42 years of service participating in regular sessions intended to better race relations, having had a black son-in-law, worked with, for, and supervised thousands of blacks over the decades, I don’t think I could care less about the idea or of anybody who is pushing this issue in 2021 as a “real thing.”
Its classic in the wake of the election of a mixed race person to be president of the United States that such idiocy is not only entertained and tolerated, but actually built into legislation that had to be halted by the Courts for its obvious racial bias. How did we get to a place in our history where it is suddenly okay to show bias-as long as it is against the right race/gender/cause?
There should be righteous government efforts to address and rectify any demonstrable case where any race, creed, color, or gender have been wronged in some way by federal government policies or administration policies designed to help specific groups. I’m thinking that is the law!
Farmers comprise one of these groups that has apparently been mishandled.
Let’s address specific problems like this and not embrace socialist, Marxist talking points to assuage someone’s guilt-or propaganda-about race-that is not relevant or applicable to 99% of living Americans….
