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.

I've posted before that I've served as an economic expert witness in reparations trials for over 40 years. I've done the analysis for back reparations, which involves comparing black income in the US compared to the incomes in those areas in Africa from which most US slaves came from. The analysis spanned 157 years. It turns out, US blacks owe US non-blacks over $640,000 each.

First slave trader heading to America gets killed, the remainder come see the future.
Homogeneous societies thrive, and still have issues.
America is becoming Balkanized.
The people who are responsible for slavery were the black tribes in Africa who sold their fellow man to the arabs who then sold them to the slave ship owners. All those people are now dead.

A common trait among almost all of his race is that they view laws as racist and they are obligated to ignore them. They resent having to obey the laws the rest of us live by.
