Well. He's got billions. He can just go right ahead and start handing them out.
Meanwhile, I'll never work a job again that makes enough to pay Federal Taxes.
Just add this to the ever-growing list of shit I don't approve my tax dollars going to.
--------------------------------------------------
And he who is not sufficiently courageous to defend his soul — don’t let him be proud of his ‘progressive’ views, and don’t let him boast that he is an academician or a people’s artist, a distinguished figure or a general. Let him say to himself: I am a part of the herd and a coward. It’s all the same to me as long as I’m fed and kept warm.

Quote:Robert Johnson is crazy because during the 2020 election, Johnson made comments implying that he supported President Trump, stating "where I come out as a businessman, I will take the devil I know over the devil I don't know anytime of the week."

He is not a billionaire. He only has $550,000,000. Sagging Viacom and CBS stock, plus investments in real estate, hotels and banks ... have dragged Johnson's net worth to $550 million.

Johnson's reparations are $14 trillion. The GDP of America is $22.06 trillion (for now).

“That's what I propose in this 14 trillion dollar proposal: to provide reparations not only for the sin, or the atonement of the sin, of slavery ... but to cause America to live up to the concept and the notion that this nation was born on the idea of American exceptionalism,” he said.

Quote:I know a way to get your vote for reparations: pay white people the white per capita income minus the black per capita income. That's $36,962 for whites and $23,303 for blacks. I got the idea from The Case for Considering Reparations:

In the 1970s, the Yale Law professor Boris Bittker argued in The Case for Black Reparations that a rough price tag for reparations could be determined by multiplying the number of African Americans in the population by the difference in white and black per capita income. That number was $34 billion in 1973, when Bittker wrote his book.

Quote:No. It's money. Congress could easily afford to put $13,659 ($36,962 minus $23,303) direct deposited into your bank account to buy your vote for reparations. Unless you are too proud to take the money.

Quote:
Robert Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment Television (BET) and America’s first Black billionaire, has called on the US to pay $14 trillion in reparations to address the long-lasting impacts of slavery.
Fuck that shit.
I've never been a racist and my family history has been so short in the USA that I can guarantee you that we NEVER had anything to do with slavery, on either side.
But just to show you how fucked up the idea is ...
Will recent immigrants from S and Central America be forced to pay reparations?
Immigrants from China? India? Pakistan?
What about descendants of people who fought on the Union side? Will they get some sort of exemption for their ancestors having fought- and often dying- to free the slaves?
And what about "mixed race" people? Will THEy get reparations depedent on how much "Negro blood" they have?
And given the history of procreation between slaves and owners, will descendants of slave-owner relationships have to pay reparations to .... themselves???
WHAT A STUPID IDEA! And racist, too!
This is just extortion money paid to blacks so they won't riot and burn shit down. It's rewarding people for not working.
*****
I HAVE A MUCH BETTER IDEA.
What about if we take that $14 trillion and invest in ... steel mills? Textiles? Automobile manufacturing? Smaller farms? Machining?
Doesn't he think there's something more useful can be done with that money?

We're a bankrupt nation. Many times over. Congress can't afford the ink the FED prints on the money, or the paper it's printed on. Good for them that they wouldn't have to and it would just be 1's and 0's put in everybody's bank accounts.
And what's with this 1/2 shit anyway? Once the blacks that were actually looking for reparations find out that white people were getting half of that money you know that the handouts wouldn't have solved anything at all.
Quote:
to buy your vote for reparations.
We didn't directly buy votes for money until the Biden* administration handed out the $1,400 stimulus after promising it before the Georgia elections, post-election. They should all be in prison for buying votes now.
If something like what you are suggesting were actually to occur and only whites who voted for reparations got money then they definitely would all be going to prison.
Quote:

It would literally be a crime to take that money.

Quote:Rather than more of what corporations already profitably own, how about the Federal government building something that businesses won't pay for because it is not profitable? 100% clean energy economy and zero CO2 emissions? But the GOP blocks that Federal spending:
