On Monday, the Native Land Podcast panel agreed with actor Terrence Howard’s recent declaration that descendants of slaves should not have to pay taxes.

Former MSNBC host Tiffany Cross, political advocate Angela Rye and former Democrat politician Andrew Gillum entertained the idea that Black people should be exempt from taxes as reparations on the 'Native Land Podcast' Monday. The three discussed actor Terrence Howard reportedly claiming it is 'immoral for the United States government to charge taxes to the descendants of slaves' while being ordered to pay $903,115 in back taxes, penalties and interest.

The podcast also focused on tax evasion, with the three insisting that most of the people arrested for the crime are Black. 'I can only think of tax evasion cases where Black people are criminally prosecuted. I can’t think of no White folks, can y’all?' Rye asked. Per court filings, Howard reportedly 'denied owing anything' and 'threatened to shame' the lead tax attorney 'by posting the lawsuit against him on the internet.
