Robert L Johnson, the first African-American billionaire in the United States, is calling on the federal government to pay out $14 trillion in reparations to African Americans to compensate for slavery. He was quoted saying “Reparations would require the entire country to … admit that the result of slavery has been 200 years of systemic racism” – and he wants a check too. There is already a bill in support of this initiative that states, “This will be a step toward a more honest and direct discussion of what happened.” In the view of Kabbalist Dr. Michael Laitman: “I am in favor of rethinking the whole of history in practice, how we were under the influence of our egoistic inclination, realize its insignificance, misuse and inferiority, and instead, move onto the next degree of coexistence where we will not live in the past, but look forward toward greater connection with the aim of helping one another. The past cannot be bought with money, but the future can be built with it. We need to understand human nature and gain the awareness of the insignificance of our nature—the need to change it and not try to correct anything by this approach of; “Pay me, and I will be nice." This is not the way.
