I’m surprised that so many people were shocked when B.E.T.’s founder and former bigwig BOB JOHNSON was trotted out to crack the whip upon BARACK OBAAMA’s back. Every jig on the internets who is supposed to be a few bars above the average spearchucker was amazed that BOB JOHNSON could get so slimey with his shit.

First of all, get a late pass and freshen up your intellect with a DP Dot Com drop on the nature of the cracker. The whip cracker wasn’t always a white. Sometimes the master used one of his Blacks to crack the whip on the back on upstart young buck. The response from the people was similar to the one that you all had when BOB JOHNSON opened his mouth. Jaws dropped and people just shook their heads without any further action from their bodies.

For over a year I kept this New York Times feature article on ROBERT JOHNSON in my apartment clutter. I often reread it and reflected on it to remind myself why I NEEDED to hate on B.E.T. so much. The article was peppered with quotes from JOHNSON that summed up his commitment to the African American community that he saw through his television network. JOHNSON didn’t assume the position as the H.N.I.C. to make Black Entertainment Television the broadcast arm of the NAACP.

There was a singular focus for B.E.T. and that was to make money. Period. Point blank. The news programming at B.E.T. was cut away because A1) Negroes were NOT watching it. Jigs (and quiet as it is not kept, voyeuristic white) were watching rumpshaker videos until them ho’s from Spelman had to fuck up game. BOB JOHNSON came into the game as a whipcracker and that is how he became a Black billionaire and the go-to nigga to keep motherfuckers in line.

BOB JOHNSON was used to get off a point that the CLINTON camp surely wanted to make without… inhaling. Yes, BARACK smoked woos, or whatever. Hell, it was the late 80’s. We were all dabbling in a little bit of the white girl (no MARY-KATE OLSEN). Cocaine is such a hardcore drug in the American pysche that trippy hippie LSD heads like the CLINTONS seem tame by comparison. Middle America knows meth, crack, not so much.

This is why a ROBERT JOHNSON is an almost invaluable operative to a CLINTON campaign showing signs of early desperation. Someone is going to have to pick up the slack of RON BROWN, not that BOB JOHNSON could ever hold a spoon to RON BROWN’s sachs. At the end of the day when push comes to shove we are still living in Amerikka and most people will just fall back on the fear that was programmed into them since childhood.

Word to Zwarte Piet.
