Robert Johnson, founder of Black Entertainment Television, told CNBC on Monday the U.S. government should provide $14 trillion of reparations for slavery to help reduce racial inequality.

The wealth divide and police brutality against blacks are at the heart of protests that have erupted across the nation following last week’s killing of George Floyd during an arrest in Minneapolis.

“Now is the time to go big” to keep America from dividing into two separate and unequal societies, Johnson said on “Squawk Box.”.........

You could see that coming a mile away..... Money always fixes everything...doesn't it?

Go big or go home. Why settle for trinkets nicked from Ross and Target?

I'd be tempted to go with Mr Johnson's proposal if I thought this would finally stop the incessant complaining. But it won't. In five years a good percentage of the recipients will be broke again and in the streets chucking bricks.

I disagree. I think reparations should be 100 million trillion dollars. Why not?
They wouldn't be able to buy anything with it, because the dollar would come to have no value. LOL!
In how many African and South American countries does a loaf of bread cost millions of their dollars?
Answer: quite a few.
