Johnson’s Remarks and More

Johnson shared his thoughts on the black community and Islam in 2008 on the Accent Radio Network. These comments landed him in very hot water:

“I think one of the reasons why [blacks are jealous] is because Jewish people from their coming to America in great waves in the early part of the 1800’s immediately rolled up their sleeves and began to work so hard and applied themselves to education and other means of improvement and other means of climbing the, I hate this phrase, but the social ladder if you will.”

“They have done exceptionally well for themselves. For only representing about 1.4% of America’s population, they make up 12% of America’s millionaires. Why? Because they work.”

“It’s an indictment of America’s black community that has turned America’s major cities into slums because of laziness, drug use and sexual promiscuity.“
