The Reparations Committee will let the little bastards starve to death in the dark?
Translation: it’s not your fault if you make babies without raisin’ ‘em. At least if you’re black, because us Dims know you can’t help it.
Insanity has no bounds.
I wonder how many baby daddies actually pay child support? DNA labs would be tied up for a decade trying to sort it out.
Reparations is an absurd concept. If they want repatriation to their ancestral homelands, fine. Otherwise, they should assimulate in to the US as equals, which is what we've been trying for generations and what I thought we were until recently, generally accomplishing.
“...eliminating child support debt for Black residents”
That’s fair to all the other non black residents.
California should give reparations to all the slaves that lived there prior to the Civil War.
Fun fact: There were zero. CA was never a slave state.
Absurdity knows no bounds.
I identify as a black resident of Califorinia: please give me my unicorns and lollipops!
This is not what it appears to be, i.e. money taken out of the child’s hands. If you have a job and can complete a pay-off within five years, you may be able to get interest waived. All payments will then be applied to the back child support instead of to the interest. So what the state is doing is reducing the payment interest into directly paying the child if the payee qualifies.
The Debt Reduction Program provides eligible parents with past-due child support payments the opportunity to reduce the amount they owe to the government. This debt, called “arrears,” is owed to the government if their dependent children received public assistance (welfare) or were in foster care while the payee was not paying court-ordered child support. So basically what this program is is the state writing off and transferring a debt they are awarded. And since they are carrying it on the books and in most cases won’t collect. The program will not reduce unpaid child support that is owed directly to the person receiving support and the payer can only reduce the amount they owe the taxpayers.

Next up; the Reps committee will require that the California Bullet Train connect to the JRB trans-Pacific Express. No Smoking Car, but there will be a George Floyd Fentanyl Car.
and by ‘discriminatory laws’ we mean
1: No fault divorce laws.
2: Excessive child support order laws.
Women were encouraged to get divorced. Their financial reward was their income, their new guys income and 50% of the last guys income.
The divorce courts were HEAVILY biased against men.
…the “harms” caused by “the disproportionate amount of African Americans who are burdened with child support debt.”…

Jeez… WTH to start. If ANY person is responsible for a child being conceived, THAT person is financially responsible for that child until it reaches adulthood. Garnishment of wages and other benefits or assets for child support (or for repayment of government expenses that are due to lack payment of child support) should be mandatory. This includes all pensions and retirement benefits.
How about just eliminate any responsibility from blacks altogether, as the Democrats in Cali seem to think they are completely incompetent of anything except casting a democrat vote. I mean, y’all do what you want to, but do it with your own money, not a dime of US taxpayer’s money. Do it right and soon y’all will have all of them. Won’t that be grand?
birth control is your friend if you don’t want kids you have to support. If you have them, feed them.
Rename it to the Shakedown Committee.
But really there's no point in picking apart the outrageous demands. It's just a way to get riled up in preparation for next year's presidential election.
I could foresee a problem with this: by the time they determine who the daddy is, they’d all be in nursing homes anyway.
Wonder why people from other countries that were enslaved by Rome aren’t asking for Reparations?.
