BET founder Robert Johnson says the Democratic Party has taken black voters in America for granted, and he urges the ascendant Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement to form a new third party to fight for their interests.

"Vice President Biden said to an African-American, a black American host on his show, even if you think about voting for Donald Trump, you're not black," Johnson told Fox News.

Johnson said the permanent interests of African-Americans have diverged in many ways with the Democratic Party; now, with the nation behind the Black Lives Matter movement and racial injustice at the forefront, it's time to act.

"It is very possible a black vote at 12 percent going one way toward Donald Trump could make Donald Trump president," Johnson said.

He said Latinos and white voters are routinely split among the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, so Johnson challenges the idea that black voters should continually vote in a bloc for Democrats.
