Hulu’s ‘1619 Project’: Slavery Reparations Will Cost U.S. Taxpayers at Least $14 Trillion

Disney’s Hulu docuseries The 1619 Project has put a price tag on slavery reparations for black Americans. The final bill for U.S. taxpayers will come to about $14 trillion — and that, one “expert” says, is letting America off easy.

The alarming figure comes in the series’ sixth and final episode during a conversation between the New York Times‘ Nikole Hannah-Jones and  William Darity Jr., a Duke University professor and proponent of social “equity.”

According to a MRC Newsbusters report, Darity estimates that each individual should receive about $350,000 in reparations. Since there are 40 million black-American descendants of slavery out of a total of 45 million black people in the United States, the total bill would be approximately $14 trillion dollars.
