In case you didn't know, Bob "Sambo" Johnson is not a politician

June 11, 2008

Yup, I said it, Sambo.

Who is Bob Johnson? The saddest Black billionaire this country has ever seen; the head of BET, the so-called “Black Entertainment” Television network.

Oh how we loath.

Bull-sized nutz Johnson has this to say about his favorite White woman, HIllary Clinton:

“[Obama earned enough delegates Tuesday to clinch the nomination, but Clinton did not concede defeat that night. Instead, she asked supporters to visit her Web site and give her advice on how to proceed.]”

Since then, Clinton supporters have stepped up efforts to get her the vice-presidential slot.

Billionaire Bob Johnson — founder of Black Entertainment Television — told CNN he plans to ask the Congressional Black Caucus to urge Obama to offer Clinton the vice-presidential slot. And Rep. Charles Rangel, D-New York, said putting Clinton on the ticket would help unify the party.

“A lot of her supporters are still broken-hearted, but if we see that her candidacy is treated with respect and that we’re going to have one ticket — the Obama/Clinton ticket — I think that would bring us together like no other political incentive,” he said.

Here’s an idea, Bob, why don’t you shut the fuck up and go sit down somewhere and count your “I’m the biggest sell-out to my people” money?

Who the hell do you think that you are to go and demand that anybody to anything? And why are you running to the Blacks in higher government to demand they do any damn thing? These ain’t your house niggas fool. Just because a Black man has become the democratic nominee does NOT mean that you thus became the HNIC.

Shut. up.

The end.

And, in case you need some help gettin’ this pill down, from the Urban Dictionary:

SAMBO- 1. The term has many supposed origins, the most common coming either from the story of Little Black Sambo or the British conquest of India. Many cite the slavery days of the U.S.A., in which the term is used in the same fashion as the Indian source. The “black faces” of early U.S. entertainment are often called sambos.

A.K.A. a house nigger (as in Malcolm X’s contrast of the house nigger versus the field nigger).

A.K.A. “Uncle Tom”

2. Archetypal Negro: Apologetic and subservient, yet will pilfer whenever unsupervised. He schemes constantly, but lacking cleverness, always ends up in trouble when his half-baked plans fail – hence the apologetic nature.

Counterpart of Buck

“Some tell me ’tis a burnin’ shame
To make the naygers fight,
And that the trade of bein’ kilt
Belongs but to the white.
But as for me, upon my soul!
So lib’ral are we here,
I’ll let Sambo be shot instead of myself
On ev’ry day in the year.”
