BET founder Robert Johnson calls for $14 trillion in reparations

Justice for George Floyd is far from the only thing needed the achieve racial equality in the United States, according to BET founder Robert Johnson.

Johnson also believes that the federal government should pay $14 trillion in reparations to black Americans to atone for centuries of systemic racism, Johnson said in a statement published Monday. (Johnson's statement didn't include specific information about where the funds for reparations would come from.)
The payments would be the "affirmative action program of all time," and would prevent the country from splitting into two unequal societies, Johnson said during an appearance on CNBC's Squawk Box Monday.
quote:
Short answers to long horrific questions about the stain of slavery are not going to solve the inequality problem," Johnson said on CNBC's Squawk Box.
"We need to focus on wealth creation and wealth generation and to do that we must bring the descendants of slaves into equality with this nation, and that's what I propose in this $14 trillion proposal to provide reparations not only for the sin, or the atonement of, the sin of slavery and Jim Crow-ism and desegregation — both de facto and du jour — but to cause America to live up to the concept and the notion that this nation was born on the idea of American exceptionalism."

It would be cheaper to just buy Africa

If dems run on reparations, they will lose. period.
even if they run with the somewhat reasonable textile price argument I talked about yesterday.

Boosie was an Theo Vons podcast and threw out $5,000 a month per black family.
War would follow in short order. Zero doubt that such a system would lead to complete collapse.

Something like $5000 per month will happen in our lifetimes. It's insanity.

Can’t spell BET without EBT.

Isn't this guy a Trump ally to some extent? If he's saying this we're definitely going to be adding at least $20 trillion to our debt within our lifetimes and black Americans will have an even more ridiculous leg up than white or Asians.

I'm beginning to think you all strategically post the same information multiple times to brainwash people like the media does.

My wife is 25 % Indian, how much should she ask for. And the Jews that were slandered by the Germans , 6 million dead, how much should they get? And the American taxpayer for all the welfare paid out since LBJ started it, do we get a refund?

I'll pitch in , in whatever amount the sweat off my balls is worth.

And I call for him to go frick himself. I never owned a slave. I bet I have been denied consideration for employment or denied tuition assistance for being white before though. Way I see it, he needs to pay me

No doubt, I have Muskogee and Choctaw in the woodpile. I'm aggrieved.

If you’re wondering that’s 350k for every black person in the US.
Posted on 6/2/20 at 1:43 pm to Cs
There are roughly 42 million black citizens in the United States. 14 trillion dollars would split up to roughly 333,000 dollars per person.
So a mother with 5 children would just be given, close to 2 million dollars.
What could go wrong ?

He would be better served asking the devil for that money.

$14 trillion in reparations
I guess I'll just repeat my mantra: I'd settle for simply ending the War on Drugs. I think over time that would solve 99% of current problems that are plausibly solved.
