California task force OKs reparations plan that could cost state $800B
California’s reparations task force voted in favor of multiple recommendations Saturday that could cut a minimum of $360,000 in checks to its eligible black residents.
The nine-member committee gave final approval at a meeting in Oakland to a hefty list of proposals aimed at rectifying racial inequalities across the state.
“Reparations are not only morally justifiable, but they have the potential to address long standing racial disparities and inequalities,” Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) said during the meeting.
The panel’s first vote approved a detailed account of historical discrimination against Black Californians in areas such as voting, housing, education, disproportionate policing and incarceration and others.
The group recommended that the state create a new agency that could provide services to descendants of enslaved people to calculate what the state owes them.

This is going to be insane with all that money floating around. Gangs are going to make a fortune. Black bodies will be laying around everywhere. Congratulations California for all your “brilliance.” You’re opening the largest can of worms EVER!
Blow it out your ying yang Barbara. And do something about that confederate last name. IT REALLY OFFENDS ME and makes me want to cry and spray paint American stuff and then tear it down.
The Democrats have supermajorities in both houses of the California State Legislature. What Democrat would have the courage to vote against this nonsense?
I suppose the more sensible ones could use delaying tactics. But how long could that last?
All aboard the crazy train!
This is a Pandora’s Box that can not be closed now. This will create chaos they never imagined, no matter the outcome; $500 million, $300 thousand, $5 bucks? Plus, any large amounts will lure in the professional grifters and cartels. Not to mention, we’ve all seen what the ferals are capable of when they organize to loot stupid $2 crap from mom and pop stores. This is like Joker level chaos but it will be real...and it will go on in perpetuity for decades to come.
First loot Walmart, then loot Sacramento.
$800 billion in “reperations” - California’s entire budget is “only” $300 billion.
Newsom will ask the feds for the $$ and the money printers will be put on turbo-drive.
There will be land confiscations from Whites to pay for it all - or to hand the homes over to blacks for $1.00.
And if that isn’t enough, they can always have another meeting.
and who did Mexico steal it from and how long did they have it?
Many blacks are already saying it’s not enough. It will NEVER be enough. And soon Latinos, Native Americans, gays, etc., in all states will have their hands out, claiming victimhood and demanding their millions. Meanwhile, old people and veterans are clipping coupons, doing without, rationing their medications, even living on the streets, struggling.
This country is officially over. It was great while it lasted.
anyone have an idea if this is legal? If you are not black are yopu being discriminated against? Why not reparations for all? watch the Mexicans scream...
Nope, on two counts.
First, this will be financed by Fed funds, just like how Covid funds were used to build back burned out areas encouraged by MSM and politicos in 2020 to get DJTrump out of office
2nd, all states will do this when Newsome becomes next Pres. He will get into office same way BeijingBiden did, election corruption. Since the GOP never did anything about 2020 corruption no non-commie trash will be elected into office again — at least nationally.
Quite possibly, especially when they start researching old census forms and find those households that had slaves.
It was part of Mexico in name only. It was Indian country that Mexico could not civilize, which is why Mexico invited Steven Austin to settle in Texas.
There were only 891 black peoples in California then and California was a free state, too
Reparations for an imaginary harm done to Californians eight generations in the past. And when black peoples are given preferences in hiring, promotions, education, you name it…. Thus discriminating against the other 90 percent of Americans
Brilliant !
They are just trying to get us so pissed off we give them an excuse to impose martial law/death camps.
Do not take the bait.

The California State Assembly consists of 62 Democrats and 18 Republicans. The State Senate is 32 Democrats and 8 Republicans. Gavin Newsom set up this commission. The odds are the legislature is going to approve the payouts.
Message to all white people living in CA:
LEAVE NOW!
