Democratic Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has now associated herself with the film
Who's Your Caddy. Remember that 2007 film starring the idiot of the airwaves Sherri Sheppard? Well Hillary Clinton has enlisted the maker of that film and the founder of Black Exploitation Television (
BET) Bob Johnson.

That's right Bob Johnson is now doing damage control for the Clinton campaign. The damage control comes after the Senator and her husband former President Bill Clinton (stuck their feet in their mouths) made comments that some in the African American community found offensive.
Here is what Bob Johnson had to say at a church in South Carolina yesterday;
"And to me, as an African-American I am frankly insulted that the Obama campaign would imply that we are so stupid that we would think Hillary and Bill Clinton, who have been deeply and emotionally involved in black issues since Barack Obama was doing something in the neighborhood – and I won’t say what he was doing, but he said it in the book – when they have been involved." - Bob Johnson
Bill Clinton supposedly referred to the Barack Obama Presidential campaign as a "fairytale". His wife, Senator Clinton made remarks which led some to believe that she was diminishing the role of Dr. Martin Luther King's role in the civil rights movement of the 1960's.
Both Clintons say that their remarks were misinterpreted and that they meant no offense.
Maybe they didn't mean any offence and maybe their remarks were misinterpreted. To tell you the truth, to me, that has been over shadowed by Senator Clinton's choice in Bob Johnson.
Bob Johnson is a greedy turncoat that has done and continues to do African America great harm. As the founder of
BET he created an outlet for some of the most vile and derogatory programming on the air. As if that wasn't enough, Mr Johnson sold
BET to
Viacom.
Viacom has taken racist and derogatory programming to a level not seen since the middle of last century.
Most recently Bob Johnson has founded a film company,
Our Stories Films. The film company makes films aimed at an African American audience. Their first film was
Who's Your Caddy, which was a buffoonish film that relied on stereotypes of African Americans for their entertainment value. Thankfully the film was a flop at the box office.
As an undecided voter I am still weighing my options. Hillary Clinton has narrowed my options by one since she made the decision to ask Bob Johnson to do damage control in the African American community. As far as I'm concerned she may as well have chosen David Duke.
That's right, I see no difference between Bob Johnson and racist David Duke. Well except that Bob Johnson has done far more harm to African Americans than David Duke ever dreamed of doing.
So I'm not sure who I will be voting for in the California Democratic Primary next month, but I know who I won't be voting for, that's Bob Johnson's friend Hillary Clinton.
Will Hillary Clinton's close association with Bob Johnson affect how you vote? Do you find it offensive that Hillary Clinton has associated herself with Bob Johnson?
I have been wondering for quite some time what Senator Hillary Clinton means when she says she has more experience than Senator Barack Obama. She says this over and over again.
