Robert Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment Television, says it's time America atones for slavery and systemic racism by paying African-Americans reparations to make them economically equal to white Americans.

Johnson, the first black billionaire in the United States, has put a price tag on the debt America owes to African-Americans at $14 trillion





Talk to the descendants of slave owners, DEMOCRATS, and get back to me.

How they going to prove who was a slave?

What about Caribbean or South American descendants?

I love how he advocates for this while he sits on a mountain of cash.

I would like to be made economically equal to Robert Johnson. Who do I send the bill to?

There are approximately 40 million African Americans in the country

Divide 14 trillion by 40 million and you get...and I'm not joking $350,000.00

I'm suddenly drawing a blank here, I feel like this point has been addressed ad nauseam.....would ALL African Americans get reparations payments? Or otherwise how does one prove they're descendant of a slave?

What about those who were dirt poor, even though they may have been a few generations removed from their slave-holding elders?

What does this mean for people like Harris or Michelle Obama, whose families were known slave traders?

What is scary is that you know this will actually happen one day. The left is going to use any authority they have to fleece their enemies.

Notice never is it said that leaving is an option. Why get some money and stay in a place you supposedly are oppressed by? This has nothing to do with equality but getting a lump sum handout.

Much like a lot of lottery winners, getting a huge check won't fix their problems. They will blow through it and then wonder who to blame.

It wouldn't pass constitutional muster from even the 9th Circus.

It will never happen because it is literally impossible to implement and wildly unconstitutional.

No.


Compare what their current quality of life is compared to what the quality of life is for someone their age right now in their country of origin. If the average life there is better, pay them the dif.


Thats the only reasonable method for determining slavery reparations.

We've paid over 20 trillion since 1965 right? So we're even and they owe us 6 or 7 trillion back?
