YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Many felt Bob and Sheila Johnson selling BET was a loss. The Johnsons used their money from the BET sale to acquire many other companies. Had they received fair ad value without the Black tax, they could have sold only a third of BET for the same amount and retained ownership. #RolandMartinUnfiltered #BlackStarNetwork #BlackOwnedMediaMatters #BlackTax #BET #BobAndSheilaJohnson #Business #Ownership
