BET founder Robert Johnson, in an interview Wednesday with Fox News, blasted those who are toppling Confederate and other statues across the nation as "borderline anarchists" -- while challenging the notion that black Americans support this. They're taking down the statue of a Civil War general who fought for the South," Johnson said. Johnson argued that the statue destruction that has swept the nation is meaningless to black Americans who could benefit much more from structural changes like economic equality. They really have no agenda other than the idea we're going to topple a statue," Johnson said. Johnson suggested white Americans need to ask black Americans what they really want.
