Pan Africanist Activism
During his post-Millersville years Johnson was an active member of the Philadelphia chapter of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) founded by the late Marcus Garvey where he'd later resigned. He wrote a book titled 'Psycho Academic Holocaust: The Special Education and ADHD Wars Against Black Boys', in the book he alleges that African American boys are purposely misdiagnosed with learning disabilities as part of a conspiracy of Psychological warfare towards black people. He believes that the reason for this is because of the lack of fathers in African American households and therefore the lack of masculine energy. This is one of the reasons for his planned school for Black boys. Throughout the 2010s, he went on speaking tours on the subject of Pan Africanism, Black Nationalism, Black Excellence, and his experience in the School system  His claims of misdiagnosis have been backed by studies   but they do not support his accusations of ethnic cleansing. He has been critical of Barack Obama for not doing enough for the Black Community In November of 2019, Johnson and Joe Brown had a debate about Harriet Tubman on the 20 Dollar Bill, Brown stated that a Black man should've been on bill while Johnson argued in Tubman's support.

Ancestry Claims
Johnson claims to be a relative of Frederick Douglass, this has been interpreted as claiming to be a descendant. This has been disputed by the media and some members of Douglass' family.

Controversies
Johnson has received harsh criticisms about his ideology and beliefs in which some consider him a fraud for his fundraising tactics for his proposed Frederick Douglass/Marcus Garvey Academy in Delaware. But Dr. Johnson insisted that he hasn't spent any of the money raised for his school.

Kobe Bryant Death Theory
In January 2020, after the Death of Kobe Bryant, Johnson said that Kobe was killed because of his lawsuits and engagements with the Pharmaceutical industry.
