BET Founder Robert Johnson recently called for $14 trillion of slavery reparations for black Americans.
“Wealth transfer is what’s needed,” Johnson said.
“The problems that we confront today can be solved, but it takes a big, bold action and $14 trillion in reparations for damages upon heirs of slaves is an appropriate statement,” Johnson explained to CNBC.
Johnson believes that reparations will prove that white Americans understand the “damages that are owed” to black people.
“Damages is a normal factor in a capitalist society for when you have been deprived of certain rights,” Johnson said.
