Donald Trump received more support from African Americans than either John McCain or Mitt Romney, so now he's trying to pay back his supporters by offering a plan to give greater job and education opportunities to black communities.

Bob Johnson, the founder of BET, met with Trump on Sunday to discuss the needs of black Americans.

"If you recall during the election he said what do African Americans have to lose?" Johnson stated in an interview with CNBC. "I said, President-elect Trump, the real question you should be asking is what do African Americans have to gain by your presidency."

According to Johnson, Trump agreed with that statement and talked about how to craft an aspirational platform that helps give opportunity.

An idea put forward from the meeting was the repatriation of capital, businesses moving back into the U.S. Johnson suggested that Trump introduce a tax incentive to any company that comes back into the U.S. that creates jobs in the urban markets.

Like most black Americans Johnson supported Clinton, but the meeting left him very hopeful for the future.

"Trump is a business guy, and I think he's going to tilt towards finding a way to use fiscal policy to move the economy forward," Johnson said.

Furthermore, he said that minorities and especially African-Americans don't have as much to fear from the Trump administration as liberals are saying. Johnson said he'd known the President-elect for years and that they can find some common ground.

"Let's give him a shot. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt; see if we can find common ground... That's what's best for African-Americans," he continued.

Black Americans could eventually come around to supporting Trump; Johnson finished by saying, "we shouldn't have permanent friends or permanent enemies, just permanent interests."
