BET, Clinton and Obama

The CEO of BET is a Clinton supporter who made a nasty remark about Obama that he has since had to apologize for. My question is this: why is the CEO of BET a Clinton supporter? It surely is not because Clinton has better race/minority policy credentials than Obama. So there is some other angle. I'm not sure what it is, but I bet it has something to do with business. Clinton is perceived as more pro-business than Obama is. Just curious, really.
