In July, Rod 2.0 reported that Sheila Johnson (R? D?), the billionaire co-founder of Black Entertainment Television, endorsed the extreme anti-gay and fundamentalist Republican Bob McDonnell for Virginia governor. At a recent rally for McDonnell, Johnson mocked the slight stutter of McDonnell's Democratic opponent Creigh Deeds.
Johnson said: "The other people I talk to, and especially his op-p-p-p-ponent (INAUDIBLE). He could not articulate what needed to be done. So communication is hugely important."
This coming from the woman who made a billion dollars selling gangsta rap and "Tip Drill" videos to the black community?
UPDATE: Johnson offers a faux apology "for any offense he, or others, may have taken.”

Sometimes very rich ladies have no class.

What a hateful, childish old wench!

She must have been listening to the gangsta rap videos tooooo long. That "a-p-p-p-p-ponent" was hilarious!
What a disgrace. And an obvious hypocrite.

Even Paris Hilton has more class than this loser! What a disgrace!

She's the perfect example of money can't buy you class, and, to think she got rich off of people sending the most negative images of blacks in 200 years, she has some gall.

This is so 2004!
Are we slowly gearing for another republican administration in 2012?
I thought the purpose of society was to progress..not go backward!

We all know she is a SELLOUT!!....Next

That is one bold heifer, but of course her and her "sell-out" husband are on my sh*t-list for letting Viacom takeover the only great Black Entertainment Television (BET) into a minstrel show. Then splicing the black demographic amongst the BET, MTV, VH-1, and Centric channels...

Kayman- BET was a minstrel show way before they sold it to Viacom. I blame the Johnson's for a lot of the fuckery that is on TV and in society today. I think the selling to Viacom allowed for it to spread this nonsense across all of their channels.
