1. He says piecemeal iniatives like Evanston and the "$5B to black farmers"(that $ was for minorities) can add up to be reparations, it won't. Reparations can only be done at the federal level, as the US govt is the only entity that has access to trillions if dollars.
2. At no point does he actually say that reparations is just for ADOS, he keeps saying it's for black ppl. Not all black ppl in America are ADOS, and a program that goes to all black ppl ain't reparations.
3. The number, $14 trillion isn't enough, William Darity himself told Thomas Craemer (UCONN economist) that $17T for slavery isn't enough. If you factor everything that has happened to BA from 1776 to now, we're looking at a price tag in the tens of trillions(maybe more).
I wish ppl like Robert Johnson would either get it right or not talk at all, because his talking points are detrimental to a reparations push.

The new “reparations” is critical race theory education, it’s the housing grant program in Evanston, Illinois, it’s the $5 billion of targeted support and debt relief for Black farmers, and it’s the $50 billion in corporate pledges in the wake of George Floyd’s murder dedicated to combating systemic racism and inequality. (Even though just $250 million, or 0.5%, has actually materialized so far.)
“That’s what’s happening to the reparations—it’s been cut up into small pieces of things that look and feel like, ‘We want to end systemic racism, we want to end police brutality and shootings and to provide financing to Black small business owners,’” Johnson tells VICE News.
But that’s the problem, Johnson says. He calls the current approach “placebo paternalism.”
the same BET founder who sold out his entire legacy and company literally to the white man...
To be fair, he did catch a GMB
