Actor Terrence Howard reportedly said it is "immoral for the United States government to charge taxes to the descendants of slaves" after being ordered to pay nearly $1 million in back taxes.

According to a report from the Philadelphia Inquirer on Thursday, a federal judge in Philadelphia ordered the Academy Award-nominated actor to pay $903,115 in back taxes, penalties and interest.

"For more than a year, the 54-year-old star of the TV hit ‘Empire,’ whose last listed address was in Plymouth Meeting, rebuffed IRS efforts to collect $578,000 in income taxes it says he failed to pay between 2010 and 2019," the Inquirer reported.

Howard went on further, slamming the government for taking him to court.

"In truth, the entire United States should, by default, become the property of the descendants of slaves," Howard said. "But since you do not have the ability [or] the courage to do it, let’s try this in court… We’re gonna bring you down."

Then too, also the descendants of Union Army soldiers, yes?

I agree.

I also have no clue what Howard is doing in Plymouth Meeting.
It’s a dense population area NW of Philly.

There was somethin’ in the water on the set of that Empire show.

Somethin’ that allowed the black racism and elitism to come out.

I think he also beat an ex of his, and Debbie Allen’s brother.
All around winner.

If you are/were a slave, I fully support your legal action to recover those damages directly from the person that held you as a slave.

The main actor in the show that had Jusssie Smollett.

MUST be something in the water.

Were any of Mr. Stamp’s ancestors slaves?

That has been my take all along. Everyone wanting reparations needs to do 23 and Me to be sure they are not related to slave owners. I think there will be a large percentage who don't qualify.

Interesting back story of terence...His father and a white guy were in line to see Santa with their kids(terence ,included) and his father stabbed the white guy to death.....I remember reading the story about this in the newspaper....Always wondered what happened afterwards......I was shocked years later when Terence talked about....

"Or is he just identifying as a descendant of slaves?"

He's never been on "Finding Your Roots" with Obama's buddy Henry Gates. I wonder if he'd turn out to be one of the blacks whose ancestors owned slaves.

Then there's this:

The Real Life Dark Side of Empire Villain Terrence Howard

Seems he likes to physically abuse his wives. He's had three so far. The first one went back for more, remarrying him, and then divorcing him two years later. I don't believe any of them were black.

I would agree that we shouldn’t tax slaves.

Find me one in America, and I will support their claim against taxes.

Terrance Howard is not a slave. Nor is he poor.

Suck it up Terry and pay the man.

I’ve definitely read some unsavory things about him. He seems really sleazy.

The best thing that ever happened to blacks was being brought here.

Honestly...slavery should have been abolished at the ratification of the Constitution. And to those who'll scream the 3/5th thingy....we could have had our Civil War right then and there and gotten it over with. Obviously, the existing slaves could have stayed and worked in.

I don’t think the descendants of those who went back to Liberia are living the dream.
