My dad nominates JFK's Cuban missal crisis speech... and says "calm down."

BET co-founder calls for $14T in reparations for black Americans

BET co-founder Robert L. Johnson called for $14 trillion in reparations for every descendant of African American slaves as "atonement" on Monday following the death of George Floyd.

"Is $14 trillion too much to ask for the atonement of 200 plus years of brutal slavery, de facto and de jure government-sponsored social and economic discrimination and the permanent emotional trauma inflicted upon black Americans by being forced to believe in a hypocritical and unfulfilled pledge that 'all men are created equal'?" Johnson said in a statement.

His press release included a link to a paper that advocates for $350,767 for every black person in the U.S. Johnson advocated for direct cash payments over the next 10 to 20 years.

Tragic. It would suck if he went there to protect his business and gets killed for it in the process.

That’s a real shame. Too bad peaceful protests don’t accomplish anything. This could have been avoided

Our Yucaipa is overreacting because the Antifa boogeymen are going to come loot Oak Glen.
