BET Founder: ‘This Country Would Never Tolerate White Unemployment at 14 or 15 Percent’
CNSnews ^ | March 29, 013 | Melanie Hunter

Entertainment Television (BET) founder Bob Johnson said Tuesday that the nation would “never tolerate white unemployment at 14 or 15 percent” and yet unemployment for the black community has been double that of white Americans for over 50 years.

“This country would never tolerate white unemployment at 14 and 15 percent. No one would ever stay in office at 14 or 15 percent unemployment in this nation, but we’ve had that double unemployment for over 50 years,” Johnson said while speaking at the National Press Club about the gap between whites and blacks in America.

Mr. B.E.T. can get back to me when he is ready to tolerate a White Entertainment Channel.

Seminole County is a nuclear scientist. He got it RIGHT. I’d think now that the Black Entertainment Television chief has identified his black problem, now he needs to fix it. I’ve watched their shows, and it’s a lof of fat rear ended, sex driven shows with very little IQ needed to watch. Is it the white’s responsibility to increase the level of the gene pool. I’m asking.

Yet Johnson’s people, Holder’s people, Obozo’s people voted for his socialist, job-killing, plantation mentality policies at 96%....
Tell it to your people, Johnson...
We knew 6 years ago what a failure this guy was...
No pity for you....

It wouldn’t tolerate a white 17yo shooting a negro baby in the head ether,but the media pretty much ignores the reverse as in Brunswick GA

somebody has to pay....somebody has to pay for 34 million blacks...

We are already paying you jerk! At some point in your miserable lives you have to look around yourself and realize you are where you are because YOU MADE THAT CHOICE.

As long as you refuse to listen and learn ...blacks will be impoverished by that choice.

Blacks have no real clout with either political party.

They are faithful slaves to the democrats no matter what democrats do, or don’t do for them.
And blacks are good watchdogs for the democrats too.
They attack any other black who wanders off the democrat plantration.

Most republicans are smart enough to know any money and effort expended trying to woo blacks is wasted.

Blacks voted 93% in 2012 to re-elect Obama The Big Choomer.

If there is a more stupid bloc of voters in America they have yet to surface.

Why should democrats care how much noise blacks make - they have them locked up no matter what.
Democrats give them a few speaking spots at the convention, get them all riled up at republicans, get their votes then do nothing to get them off the plantation.

Oh, and don’t forget during the dim primary in 2008, Johnson was a Hill supporter and called out Obozo on his cocaine use...loved it but it didn’t matter, did it?

“We can do better”..

saw that on Drudge today.. didn’t bother reading the article, due to the fact that I assume “we” means that the country can do better.

As Rush said, he’s always running as Mr Fix-it... an outsider with big plans...

~95% of blacks helped elect and re-elect their "homeboy" (Shotgun Joe's term) so why are THEY tolerating such high unemployment?

Who's "keeping the Black Man down" now??

It seems not only are the brothers themselves tolerating it, they voted for more of it to the tune of ninety something percent. Maybe this BET dude should look into that phenomenom.

I wonder if by race, we looked at the unemployment rate for those who had never been to prison, and who had achieved at least a high school education.

You tolerate your own poverty pimps getting rich off of you while you suffer.

The so called black leaders are constantly pushing the oppressed victim point of view. There is a measure of racism in the world, there always will be, get used to it.
The biggest handicap for blacks is usually attitude. The least attractive trait for an employer is an employee with a bad attitude.
The attitude is a self fulfilling and comes from parents, neighbors, schools, churches, leaders, and the government.
If all of these groups would be promoting a positive attitude the problem would go away.

Black liberals have some type of love affair with illegal aliens, to the very detriment of their own.

Just some of the things I had to put up with after they got the job.

Show up late everyday if they show up at all.

Show up on the job in satin pajamas and slippers.

Take their pants off on the job and run around in their sisters lime green shorts because it was hot.

Claim I was a racist because I wouldn’t let them sleep on the job.

Said sweating on the job “dat be slabery”.

Intentionally break tools and equipment.

Intentionally hurt themselves so they don’t have to work.

Claim they were hurt when they weren’t.

Demand that I address them as Mister.

Pretend to pass out on the job.

Go to the can and not come back for over an hour.

Demand 15 minute break every hour.

Refuse to get their hands dirty.

Demanded they be the one running the crew on their first day of work.

Shadowstats.com says total unemployment is closer to 25%.
Unemployment is a national disgrace and the biggest problem behind the gov’t budget woes.

And worse, nobody is even talking about it or suggesting solutions. The rats want us to believe everything is fine and we just need to raise taxes. The GOP wants to do what the rats say, except they also want to use the crisis to cut safety nets.

No one is talking about trade policy, about our import tariffs being at historic lows of just 1%.

The FED keeps pumping money to try to help unemployment, which is the right course for the FED. But it’s a futile effort if you don’t raise the import tariffs. It’s like pouring water on a gasoline fire. It won’t put out the fire, it’ll just help it spread. The liquidity will just be used to help outsource more jobs.

We don't tolerate that rate for blacks. The only reason it exists is that blacks tolerate it. Every time whites try to fix the problem we get called racist.

As well as weapon violence against black kids, he never made a sound until white kids were killed.
obama is a racist, it is that simple.

He campaigns against himself and wins. Liberals aren’t very bright and he knows it.
