Black Exec Fired For Backing “White and Jewish” Mike Bloomberg

An African-American CEO claims she was ousted from job because she openly supported White, Jewish Michael Bloomberg for re-election as Mayor of New York City.

Joyce Johnson, a former New York State Field Director for the Obama presidential campaign, claims she was ousted from her position as president and CEO of the non-profit Black Equity Alliance by its Board of Directors after she endorsed Bloomberg last March.

It is likely that Bloomberg, an Independent, will face Democratic city Comptroller Bill

Thompson, who is Black.

In a lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Johnson claims a BEA board member told her “it would not look good” for the president of the organization to endorse Bloomberg because he is “White and Jewish.”

The Black Equity Alliance was founded in 2003 to support human services, religious-based and community development organizations that work with African-Americans in New York City.  The board of the organization includes Rudy Crew, who was New York City schools chancellor during the Giuliani administration and is named as a defendant in the suit.

Johnson alleges the BEA wants to “thwart, even by unlawful means, if necessary, the re-election of Mayor Bloomberg based on his race.”

Johnson’s lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, says hs client endorsed Mayor Bloomberg on her own time and in her personal capacity, not as chief executive of the Black Equity Alliance. Johnson publicly endorsed Bloomberg March 22 alongside the Rev. A. R. Bernard, the pastor at the Christian Cultural Center. It is one of Mayor Bloomberg’s first endorsements for re-election this year.

    Bloomberg is a reformed Jew- That is NOT Judaism. Secondly, Bloomberg is NOT white- he is a reverse Uncle Tom.

    Joyce Johnson has become a victim of her own black fascist racist ideology and was removed from her position as president and CEO of the non-profit Black Equity Alliance, (another leftist front group?)
    She did not adhere to the party structure and was no longer regarded a loyal black fascist by supporting Michael Bloomberg and not supporting “soul brother” Bill Thompson.
    She has now learned that fascist’s devour their own when they betray the cause. She has become “black listed” (pun intended) by her own.
    Johnson alleges the BEA wants to “thwart, even by unlawful means, if necessary, the re-election of Mayor Bloomberg based on his race.”
    That did not bother Johnson when her organization supported the Kenyan wizard Hussein Obama because of race.
    You have reaped what you have sown.

    Hi everyone, Just out of curiosity how many leftist black groups have been formed since the naacp first formed ? I mean you would think that one is enough……right ? And if the black people want equality well then why can’t whites be included in the naacp and all other black groups ? NAACWP. Just a thought.

    If Bloomberg’s only problems with black people were his ethnicity, that would indicate brainlessness on Joyce Jones’ part- not fascism.

    There are some really good reasons Blooomberg is bad for the city. He has fewer black appointees and employees than Giuliani– and Giuliani refused to meet with many black officials, simply because they were black.

    Bloomberg consistently uses his billions to go against the will of the people– not just people of color- as he’s demonstrated by paying of r a third run.. He has run the small businesses and the middle class out of the city. He has consistently said that the very rich should not contribute more of their money– yet he doesn’t mind regressive taxes that break the working class.

    He’s involved in an extremely ugly lawsuit involving his treatment of employees in his company. He is against the right to choose. If you are pregnant, he’ll tell you to “kill it”. If you don’t, when you return from maternity leave, he demotes you.

    His developer cronies bought and paid for the city with fire-sale prices, but there weren’t any infrastructure demands instituted, so there are no longer enough schools or fire stations to serve the city.

    Don’t let Bloomberg shake the racist keys at you, as if you were bored babies, when you should be paying attention to who is ruining a great city, and ignoring your financial needs.

    Bloomberg is a malignant narcissus, and he’s bad for the city. Not just us black ones, but all New Yorkers. Don’t let an idiot like Joyce Johnson besmirch all black execs. There are plenty crazies that hold or held that position badly.

    Anyone who supports Bloomberg should be fired regardless of race, ethnicity, etc.

    Let the liberal leftist “Jews” and the blacks kill each other. If not for the leftist “Jews” of the 1960’s, America would not be facing the blight and plight of the minorities. And I happen to be Jewish myself, so please don’t call me a “self-hating Jew” or “anti-Semite.” I just call a spade a spade (no pun intended). New York City is a disease and pestilence, and while there are plenty of White Gentile liberals, it seems that liberal leftist “Jews” have some sort of malignant power trip to run for politics, pander to the “minorities” and espouse every cause that is anathema to politically conservative Whites and Jews.

    AND PLEASE NEWSGUY. STOP CALLING THEM “AFRICAN-AMERICANS.” WHEN THEY START CALLING WHITE PEOPLE “EUROPEAN AMERICANS”, MAYBE YOU CAN START CALLING THEM “AFRICAN AMERICANS. MAYBE.
