I saw the near billionaire owner of Black Entertainment Television (BET) Robert L. Johnson (worth $500 million) promoting reparations for 40 million Blacks at $14 trillion.
Johnson thinks that all the things that have been done for Blacks in America haven't worked.
War on Poverty
In the 50 years since that time, U.S. taxpayers have spent over $22 trillion on anti-poverty programs. Adjusted for inflation, this spending (which does not include Social Security or Medicare) is three times the cost of all U.S. military wars since the American Revolution.
Of the $22 trillion 9,900,000 blacks have received a portion of the $22 trillion. And it is not enough!
according to the below chart 22% of 45 million Americans i n poverty are blacks...
So would EVERY BLACK get $350,000 OR only the Blacks in poverty which would be 9,900,000 blacks who each would get $1,414,141 each.
Where would this $14 trillion come from? Why of course the whites!
