What's next? Why not call Isiah Thomas? Snoop?
Somebody please call the Clinton camp and tell them they are hustlin’ backwards. Of course, as honorary Blacks they should understand the term. If not, I’ll break it down. The last person they should have pulled from their bag of tricks to put down Sen. Barack Obama and defend Mrs. Clinton is the King of Pimps and Hoes, founder of Black Entertainment Television, Robert Johnson.
Don’t get me wrong. I respect the business acumen of Mr. Johnson and take pride in his many academic and business accomplishments. However, this is a man that built his empire peddling videos packed with sexually explicit, violent, negative, and misogynistic, images and lyrics. How ironic that a female candidate for president of the US would seek the assistance of a person that women’s groups have protested for years. This is not about Johnson, it's about Sen. Clinton. Her handlers ought to know better. I’m not passing judgment on the way Johnson earned his money, just stating the facts.
Seems the Clinton camp believes that they just need to have a Black face, regardless of what that face represents. What do they really think of Black people?
According to the New York Times article, in response to Sen. Clinton’s slight on Dr. King, Mr. Johnson said, “Dr. King had led a “moral crusade,” Mr. Johnson said, but such crusades have to be “written into law.” I have to wonder if Mr. Johnson knows why we had to depend on mostly White people to get it written into law? Has Johnson’s money erased the realities of our past? Last time I checked, Sen. Clinton has no experience as president so all she has is a dream herself.
Isn’t it great, Senator Clinton, that Dr. King’s “moral crusade,” was realized and now a Harvard educated, upstanding, hard-working citizen with a "moral crusade" can become president and get that crusade "written into law?" BTW, isn’t even more inspiring that that visionary can run even though he happens to be Black?
Shame on Senator Clinton for trying to make this election about Senator Obama’s race. Just ugly.
Final note, CHECK THE RECORD, President Clinton didn’t do much for Black folks. That's the true "Fairy Tale".
Clinton and Obama Spar Over Remark About Dr. King By PATRICK HEALY and JEFF ZELENY NY Times
Escalating their fight for the Democratic presidential nomination, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and Senator Barack Obama engaged in a war of words on Sunday over Mrs. Clinton’s recent remark about the role that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. played in securing civil rights laws in the 1960s.
Mrs. Clinton made the remark last Monday as part of her latest political argument that Mr. Obama was an eloquent speaker but not a proven force for change, a description she is applying to herself.
“I would point to the fact that that Dr. King’s dream began to be realized when President Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, when he was able to get through Congress something that President Kennedy was hopeful to do, the president before had not even tried, but it took a president to get it done,” she said.

Well we've been beaten over the head in the past week by the supposed sexist statements by Jesse Jackson Jr. My question is how are we supposed to take future claims of sexism and misogyny from Hillary supporters when she takes the stage with a man like Robert Johnson?
.... Yes real life for sure, Mr. Johnson. Unfortunately most Black people don't become billionaires promoting stereotypes and misogyny in their own community. Read it at the Daily Kos
