He begins the video by revealing how, in June 1988, he was hired by TSN to be a sports reporter. On the same day Johnson found out he'd landed the position, he received another call from the same person saying that he wouldn't get the job after all.

The reason? Johnson was told TSN executives said the network already had one Black reporter and didn't want to have two.

Hal Johnson's a lightskin black man with wavy hair and still got hit with racism. Never heard about this. How many stories have black people held back just not to rock the boat?
