BET founder Bob Johnson says “Now is the time to go big," calls on $14 trillion in reparations for Black people for centuries of slavery to address income inequality in America
At this point, I don’t think it’s about the number so much. That can be worked out. It’s about getting the idea of reparations to the point where it’s a viable political possibility.
I'm for it not only because of the centuries of injustice but because it would be an awesome way of redistributing wealth in this country—which if we don't do soon we'll turn into Saudi Arabia: palaces for the 1% and tents for everyone else.
First American slaves were Irish Pandora’s box, for an already broke nation, 24 trillion in debt. Shall we count welfare received? I can get behind Federal funds to help rebuild neighborhoods destroyed by government inaction in these riots. Love all people -can’t get behind this
