In a recent interview with the Charlotte Observer, African American Billionaire Bob Johnson, the founder of BET says that former vice presidential nominee Geraldine Ferraro was right when she said “If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position.” Ms. Ferraro was forced to step down as an adviser to Obama rival Hillary Clinton. Mr. Johnson further stated “What I believe Geraldine Ferraro meant (is) if you take a freshman senator from Illinois called ‘Jerry Smith’ and he says I’m going to run for president, would he start off with 90 percent of the black vote? And the answer is, probably not. Would he also start out with the excitement of starting out as something completely different? Probably not. He would just be a freshmen senator …” “Geraldine Ferraro said it right. The problem is Geraldine Ferraro is white. This campaign has such a hair trigger on anything racial. It is almost impossible for anybody to say anything.”
