Terrence Howard Faces $1M Tax Judgment for Calling Taxing Slave Descendants 'Immoral'

Actor Terrence Howard has been ordered to pay nearly $1 million in back taxes, penalties, and interest after reportedly refusing to pay income taxes between 2010 and 2019. Howard, known for his role in "Empire," made controversial comments, calling it "immoral" for the government to charge taxes to descendants of slaves. The actor failed to respond to the lawsuit and is now facing a default judgment. Howard's remarks come amid ongoing discussions about reparations for descendants of slaves, with some municipalities and lawmakers considering the issue at both local and federal levels.
