BET billionaire Robert Johnson calls for $14T in reparations — and wants a check too
America’s first black billionaire, Robert Johnson, is pushing hard for the government to pay $14 trillion in reparations — and he wants his check just like everyone else.
“Reparations would require the entire country to … admit that the result of slavery has been 200 years of systemic racism,” the Black Entertainment Television (BET) founder told Vice.
Johnson, who owns several homes and heads an asset management firm, insists that means money for himself and other rich and famous black Americans, naming Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan, and LeBron James.
In fact, he suggests they are more deserving, because they have a proven track record in putting their money to work — saying that reparations should be an investment program rather than charity.
