BET Founder Says: Obama Not Ready for Prime Time

Courtesy of the AP:

The billionaire founder of Black Entertainment Television says Barack Obama would not be a leading presidential candidate if he were white and that the Illinois senator's campaign has 'a hair-trigger on anything racial.'

* * *
'Geraldine Ferraro [was] right,' [Bob] Johnson added. 'The problem is, Geraldine Ferraro is white. This campaign has such a hair-trigger on anything racial it is almost impossible for anybody to say anything.'

What's your opinion about Mr. Johnson's comments, Rev. Wright?

Rory:

Look if you are going to do that to Jayson's thread then you should sign it-

Jay Tea and not just "J"..

I have a good feeling about that because Jayson has a strong belief in free speech.

Do I 'm pretty damn sure that the "J" is for "J" as in Jay Tea and not "J" as in Jayson.

Be fair.

Valid point, Rory. I didn't connect "Jayson" and "Jay," and it was, indeed, me (wearing my "Main Page Editor" hat) who disemvowelled Adrian and not Jayson.

Oh, and for the record, Jayson is not my son. Just to avoid any confusion.

If you're curious, Rory, Adrian posted an article about some sports team owner endorsing Hillary, and linked to some stupid picture -- neither relevant to the topic at hand.

WildWillie:

Ahh! They only opinion the COUNTS is the voters? HMM? Who one the last two elections and who acted like spoiled children who didn't get their way? Lefties.

This B.E.T. guy sounds like a typical whitey who clings to guns and religion because he is bitter.

You must be so proud of your racist guy JFO. ww

WildWillie:

Oh JFO only if you were to have reading comprehension classes. It is the lefties that think the blacks are not smart enough to handle their affairs. Good try buddy! You lefties love to throw the racist accusation around. You have done it so much, the word is useless. ww

Eric:

JFO, I remember that thread and that was YOUR accusation, not WildWillie's. You completely rephrased what he said and now you throw out your version as a fact. That is disingenuous and borders on defamation.

WildWillie:

Eric, I thank you for such a vigorous defense, but just about everyone on this site know JFO is everything but honest in his remarks. Thanks for looking out for me. ww

That's a flat out lie on your part, JFO. You are inventing Willie's meaning out of your ass.

Frankly, you should be banned for calling someone racist on that pathetic faked excuse.

I appreciate all the support. JFO's scrambled comment did not have to be done in my opinion. Lefties love calling people racist. It is in their blood. Thanks guys. ww
