Black actor blasts $223,000 reparations payments suggested by California commission - says cash will 'go right back to Cadillac and Mercedes Benz'

Actor Faizon Love has lashed out at the notion that black people in California will be given $223,000 in reparations, saying that the money will only be used to purchase luxury cars.

Love, 54, made the eye-opening response in an interview with YouTube channel Vlad TV as the debate over reparations for slavery in the Golden State continues.

The Meteor Man star said: 'F*** that. That's another trick man, because that money's gonna go right back to Cadillac and right back to [Mercedes] Benz.'

The chair of the task force handling the reparations issue, Kamilah V. Moore, said in an interview Tuesday that the $223,000 figure being reported was not simply the amount of money that would be handed out but represented the state of California's 'maximum culpability' per person.

She also criticized the fact that reparations only apply to any persons who faced housing discrimination between 1933-1972 and not just black people.

In reference to black people receiving $223,000, actor Faizon Love said: ''F*** that. That's another trick man, because that money's gonna go right back to Cadillac and right back to [Mercedes] Benz.'

Love is known for his controversial remarks, in 2014 and 2015 he was criticized for his wide-ranging support of Bill Cosby in the wake of the dozens of sexual assault allegations levied at the elderly comedian.

In one tweet, Love referred to black people who believe the accusations as 'spineless monkeys.'

It will never be enough, and it’s only going to get worse. Pouring money down an abyss.

I don’t really care where they go, but they shouldn’t get the money until they’re out the door. Never come back, not even to visit. Otherwise, it won’t be long and they’ll be agitating for another $223,000.

Instead, have our “woke” enterprises donate a portfolio of stocks which can be redeemed in 20 years to each person who claims slavehood in his/her personal history.

Each will then have a stake in MAGA.
