Here's ~$11,700/year for simply existing.



They'll get the war they want if that ever happens. Over my dead body will I forego ~$3k/year to atone for something I never participated in.

This. You take the payment and you waive claims to these programs excepting perhaps Medicare. That would be ironic then that only non-blacks get government assistance.

I'm surprised. Bob Johnson is an intelligent person who isn't typically out there whining about how blacks have it too hard or anything. In fact, his whole career has been a sort of, I pulled myself up and did it, so can you, and he has advocated for causes that help bring up young black men.

Reparations is a funny way to spell extortion.

Why?

call the bluff. 14 trillion but then no other demands. No complaining about structural racism, no demanding of majority black districts, BLM dismantled....oh and RobJohn can't see a dime of the money and neither can JayZ and othe high level black multi millionaires...they joined the rich guy club a long time ago.

So how did Johnson amass his fortune if the system was stacked against him ?

By conning said individuals into paying for cable to watch his network instead of broadcasting it on VHF/UHF.

They have been getting reparations in the form of welfare and other government benefits for 50 years and the result is the screwed up situation we have in Democrat managed inner cities.

So IF this were to come to fruition, it should come with the stipulation that all African Americans should be disqualified from any form of public assistance. No more welfare, EBT, Section 8, Medicaid.

I’m sure some people would use the money properly but others would be broke as hell in 10 years. Of course ol Robert Johnson won’t have a plan for the millions that piss their money away.

Well, you see Mr. Johnson, it's the savings and how to build financial security part you might want to talk about.

Real talk,

I'd pay twice that much if it would 100% guarantee they would shut the frick up and leave me alone for the rest of my life.

Saw somebody put the idea out there of an elective reparations fund. Give as much as you need to make yourself feel better, or don't give at all if you don't feel guilty. I know which I would pick, but it would be interesting to see people put their money where their mouth is. Of course we know that whatever the amount, it would fall woefully short of the moving goalposts, and effect no real change.
