What about the descendants of black slave-holders?

They pay, right?

“BET billionaire Robert Johnson calls for $14T in reparations”

My ancestors were slaves of Africans, for centuries. It’s been 3300 years, but the trauma remains. Since he claims descent from that continent, I demand reparations from him, with 3 millennia of interest.

Now that you mention it OttawaFreeper... i’d like to know the amount of “government” money sent out since the end of slavery as any form of entitlement.

I bet it exceeds 14 Trillion. Hell the reparations crowd is gonna OWE money back!

Okay.
He can collect it from the folks who kidnapped his ancestors into slavery - Black Africans.

No one is owed a penny of reparations. Not even owed the value of a slimy piece pepperoni pizza found under the fridge 18 months after someone lost it.

Just another manifestation of the insanity drummed up by the Dimmocommies. Just as bad as COVID.

OMG. How pathetic, self-degrading and embarrassing for a self-made entrepreneur. So is he saying systemic racism make him a billionaire?

Or maybe just leave the country that would make you make such a ridiculous claim and get a life.

If you are rich in melanin, you could be the filthiest racist and still thrive in America.

A billionaire insisting that people decended from those who came to America at the turn of the last century give monies to those they did not wrong?

Didn’t Robert Johnson try to convince people he was a conservative for the last few years?

Let’s ask the Hispanic and Asians, Native Americans, middle-eastern Americans if that’s where they want their tax money to go.

Mr. Johnson is retired. So is Bill Gates. Santa Monica police chief too-the one that said windows can be replaced but lives cannot. Stood by while rioters broke the windows. What do they all have in common? They’re now on the sidelines-outside looking in. The police chief may have a sense of discretion as her attitudes effect other cops. Johnson/Gates? Following their true calling. They wouldn’t say those things if they could end up like the police chief but all 3 were set up for life afterwards.

Every other billionaire will stick his nose out and in whenever it doesn’t cost them. Cuban-swings both ways. Others do it and don’t pay-lucky. Kapernick already has his money. I could go on. They’re not like those of us who have mortgages.
