11. I think African Americans should pay the same tax rate as anyone else of the same income.

That isn't a racist opinion.

But the top Federal income tax rate is 39.6%. Only people with high state and local taxes might pay more than 50%.

And an entertainer like Beyonce probably takes a lot of deductions before her income is taxed.
