US' 1st Black billionaire calls for $14 tn in reparations for slavery, racism
America's first Black billionaire and Black Entertainment Television Founder, Robert Johnson, has called on the US to pay $14 trillion in reparations to Black Americans. "Reparations would require the entire country to...admit that the result of slavery has been 200 years of systemic racism," Johnson said. The figure would be roughly $333,400 per Black person, based on 2019 US census.
