BET Founder Robert Johnson Calls for $14 Trillion in Reparations

Billionaire Robert Johnston founder of Black Entertainment Television has called for white America to pay $14 Trillion dollars in slavery reparations to African Americans. He says this will close the economic inequality gap.

His proposal would see the 40 million African Americans in the US receiving $350,000 over 30 years (costing on average $2,900 per white household annually)

“You want a big idea: white America, what would happen if you said, ‘please forgive us and accept our apology. And by the way, we think we owe you what was taken from you for over 300 years of slavery, Jim Crow, segregation and denial of economic opportunity and rights,” Johnson said.

“I think that would be a huge emotional assuaging of guilt.”
