Mr. Johnson has spoken publicly about ‘Michael’ largely when he has talked about race. He has described Michael as a “success story” and likened the experience of being a white couple adopting a Black teenager to the movie “The Blind Side,” the 2009 film that depicts a wealthy white family taking in an impoverished Black teenager who becomes a football star. In his testimony on racial reparations before a subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee, Mr. Johnson said that Michael, too, opposed reparations because it defied an “important tradition of self-reliance.” Mr. Johnson’s comments drew boos from supporters of reparations in the hearing. www.nytimes.com/...
