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.

[antidemoncrat]

OK but first have the blacks pay us back for all the trillions we have paid them for welfare over the last 50 years and when we reach the $14 trillion mark we'll settle on how much more you owe us.

[Steely Tom]

That would only be the down payment.

Within three or four years, they’d demand an additional $28 trillion.

[KC_Lion]

14 Trillion? Is that all?

75 Trillion easy.

[EEGator]

I’m cool with it, if they all leave and can never come back.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Well he was sounding somewhat sane before that.

[CodeToad]

Blacks started and participate din slavery and 24% of them at one time even owned slaves, so let them pay themselves.

[sappy]

like the racism of having a black only tv channel? or the racism of being a multi millionaire in evil America?

[SkyDancer]

Democrats and liberal Hollyweird actors whose ancestors owned slaves; make them pay.

[Texas Eagle]

Okay. And then you’ll call off the riots and protests and the flag burnings and the....omygosh....sometimes I say the craziest things.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Just pass a bill mandating that the $14 trillion must go to individuals as direct payments and may not be funneled through Sharpton or Jesse Jackson, etc.

Then sit back and watch the fireworks.

That he was. I guess someone got to him.

[Tennessee Nana]

Nana’s Even Bigger Idea: Let them all work to earn that $14T...

[SkyDancer]

Secondly, they, the blacks have to prove slave ancestors also; provide documented proof other than the color of their skin.

[Gay State Conservative]

So $14 trillion in ADDITION TO the $25 trillion in welfare,food stamps,free health care,free housing,affirmative action over the last 40 years.

[Sir Bangaz Cracka]

The demands will never stop. Only a fool would ever encourage the first step down this slope.

[LoveMyFreedom]

no way!

[SkyDancer]

Thirdly. Provide ancestor lineage to a slave.

[Andyman]

I know a black man whose black ancestors owned slaves. Does he pay, does he get, or does he break even?

[john316]

I would agree to $1 Trillion to each slave freed that is still living.

[Midwesterner53]

He can start by ponying up the first Billion or so.
