Jun 2021

And I don't appreciate being chastised and accused of racism because I didn't and don't agree with Jason Johnson's and Cornel West's never enough rants.

Damn, Jason Johnson is a total a**hole [View all] ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 OP

I know right? padah513 Jun 2021 #1

I have no use for him. True Blue American Jun 2021 #2

I have no idea who you are even talking about. Who is "Jason Johnson?" SoonerPride Jun 2021 #3

Jason Johnson Goonch Jun 2021 #8

OK. So he's a talking head on the infotainment circuit. No wonder I have no idea who he is. SoonerPride Jun 2021 #17

I watch some, but agree a whole lot more than otherwise. Hortensis Jun 2021 #83

I admit to watching some CNN and MCNBC. SoonerPride Jun 2021 #85

Saying police don't give a damn about interracial couples is being a jerk ?!?! Did you read the... uponit7771 Jun 2021 #40

Not talking about an article ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #45

I am listening. True Blue American Jun 2021 #9

He's saying almost exactly what a lot of people on DU are saying StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #18

THIS !!!! ☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾 I don't think anyone is reading the article just responding to the OP title uponit7771 Jun 2021 #38

Right? I finally got a chance to hear at least part of Bettie Jun 2021 #86

The reality doesn't quite fit the stereotypical smear, does it? nt StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #89

No, but it hardly ever does Bettie Jun 2021 #93

Three women are unhappy True Blue American Jun 2021 #5

He has done this before. DURHAM D Jun 2021 #7

Maybe one sentence of context would've helped! USALiberal Jun 2021 #10

True .. obnoxiousdrunk Jun 2021 #11

He was going on and on that what Joe was saying wasn't enough. BigmanPigman Jun 2021 #14

Thanks! Nt USALiberal Jun 2021 #31

No, he was going on and on about Biden intimating there being more interracial couples on uponit7771 Jun 2021 #36

He's not an asshole but he often tends to be negative and critical. Ocelot II Jun 2021 #12

I very often disagree with him, but he's not self-promoting in his comments nor "performing" hlthe2b Jun 2021 #21

You're the third person on this thread who has compared Johnson to Cornel West StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #33

Not at all. West was on CNN discussing the Biden speech at same time as Johnson was on MSNBC hlthe2b Jun 2021 #37

Lots of people have been on TV discussing Biden's speech StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #39

How rude for you to suggest everyone except you needs some "self-reflection" hlthe2b Jun 2021 #41

I didn't say I can't use any self-reflection StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #43

Doesn't seem like it... n/t hlthe2b Jun 2021 #68

He was suspended 5 months from MSNBC for attacking Bernie's female staffers. Sneederbunk Jun 2021 #13

Really? senseandsensibility Jun 2021 #26

Just Google Jason Johnson MSNBC suspension. Sneederbunk Jun 2021 #28

I think he's just frustrated by more words . . . and more words . . . and more words and, Vinca Jun 2021 #15

Not watching but I have no use for him. Dream Girl Jun 2021 #16

Actually, he's nothing like Cornel West StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #29

Black intellectual for whom no one is woke enough unless he says so. Dream Girl Jun 2021 #44

Black being the operative word StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #47

I guess Jason is not familiar with Ghost of Tom Joad Jun 2021 #19

Trymaine Lee echoed a lot of what Mr Johnson said tishaLA Jun 2021 #20

+1, they have a point; more interacial couples on TV have little to do with bad policing we know uponit7771 Jun 2021 #35

It sorta reminds me of Tweety tishaLA Jun 2021 #55

+1 uponit7771 Jun 2021 #62

What did Johnson say or do that caused the acrimony? [nt] Nexus2 Jun 2021 #69

He criticized Biden for not moving fast enough on voting rights StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #71

Is THat Cornel West In Disguise? Me. Jun 2021 #25

Why are you comparing him to Cornel West? StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #30

Because JJ Has Been As Critical Of PJB Me. Jun 2021 #61

Seriously? StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #64

Yes, Seriously Me. Jun 2021 #66

That has nothing to do with why some people here decided to lump together Johnson and West StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #70

It Has To Do With Why I Did Me. Jun 2021 #73

Johnson's criticism of Biden for not moving fast enough on voting rights has absolutely nothing StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #75

Mahalo, Me.. Excellent rant! Cha Jun 2021 #94

Mahalo Cha Me. Jun 2021 #95

I know I just saw that! Incredible! Cha Jun 2021 #96

See that, conservatives? This is what presidents actually do for a living! Initech Jun 2021 #27

Yeah, ummmm I agree with Jason Johnson more biracial couples on TV doesn't solved bad policing uponit7771 Jun 2021 #32

And why is he so ANGRY? StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #34

RIGHT !! I UNDERSTAND Johnsons anger but we have to talk and smile and shit so people don't uponit7771 Jun 2021 #50

People spit nails here every day StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #52

He is a staunch advocate for racial reparations. Funtatlaguy Jun 2021 #42

That's the argument that's been used against reparations for the last 155 years StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #46

I disagree. It would be the exact RIGHT time if we end the filibuster Funtatlaguy Jun 2021 #48

Not going to happen StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #51

I just watched Biden's speech ecstatic Jun 2021 #49

That's pretty much what Jason Johnson said StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #54

+1 uponit7771 Jun 2021 #63

I know, Have little use for his opinions. FloridaBlues Jun 2021 #56

Actually he is not, & it was more complicated than that. Nicolle handled him well, tho she disagreed Hekate Jun 2021 #57

Problem is ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #58

That's where I disagreed. Biden's not just juggling the usual problems, he's juggling chainsaws. nt Hekate Jun 2021 #59

Very true ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #60

A lot of people are hurting right now. Frustrated, and yes, angry. ecstatic Jun 2021 #65

Then direct the anger at Republicans ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #67

This is amazing StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #72

Yes, some do, but not this time, of course StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #77

I never did ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #79

Black people who speak passionately are often accused of "angry rants" StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #80

Doesn't forgive him for being a jerk ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #81

And yet, he's never been called "Cornel West, Jr." or regularly compared to random white men with StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #82

I never called him that ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #84

I didn't say you did StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #88

We weren't? ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #90

One can only respond to you if they're talking ABOUT you? StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #91

Sure ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #92

I agree LetMyPeopleVote Jun 2021 #74

I like him & always look forward to when he's on a show or hosts a show. -nt CrispyQ Jun 2021 #78
