In a recent interview with MSNBC, Bob Johnson admits he feels Trump may actually be great for black people economically.
The Huffington Post writes:
The television exec, who retired as head of the network in 2006, reportedly met with Trump on Sunday to discuss how he can better reach out to the African-American community.
In an interview with CNBC that aired on Monday, Johnson revealed that he and Trump had a “great chat.”
“If you recall, during the election, he talked about ‘What do African American’s have to lose?” Johnson said. “I told him, ‘The real question you should be asking is what do African-Americans have to gain from your presidency?’”
Johnson explained that he and Trump talked about “business solutions to social problems,” including a program where tax credits and incentives go to companies that invest capital in urban markets.
When asked how he feels about the fact that many people in black and immigrant communities feel that Trump and his supporters are racist and xenophobic, Johnson insisted that he’s known Trump for many years and feels “we can find common ground.”
“This country needs somebody who is going to lead it, not somebody who is going to force us to choose sides,” he added.
“Let’s give him a shot. Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt; see if we can find common ground. I think that’s in the best interest of African-Americans.”
I don’t expect sh-t else from this sellout.
Exactly. I can’t believe he still thinks we care about his opinions. LOL.
Anybody expected the c–n who sold out to the white folks to say anything else raise their hand……I’ll wait!
He’s been trash since he sold BET. His opinion doesn’t matter.
He continues to be one big disappointment.
Boy bye.
Bob Johnson needs to find his blackness! He has to be stupid to make a statement asking people of color to give a racist a chance. A chance to do what destroy the country!! Trump said to one of his supports ” thats my african american” like he was his master. He stated ” what do we have to loose”! Our lives for voting for a piece of trash like you!!
Negro…PLEASE!
