I was going to ask “how did they come up with $360,000,” but from my recollection, the Civil War had 620,000 deaths: 360,000 Union and 260,000 Confederate, so maybe that is it?
The Governor can unilaterally order each black to be paid so many hundred thousand? How does he have that authority? Doesn’t the money need to be appropriated?
California’s Newman, I mean Newsom comes up with an insanely expensive vote-buying scheme and all of America has to do it AND pay for it? Brilliant! Effing insane democrats looking to stuff huge kickbacks into their slush funds! STRING ‘EM UP!
The Dems got themselves mau-mau’ed by “activists” into an absurd scheme that none dare openly oppose. The first one of them to call it stupid will be destroyed by the others.
To be fair, I don’t think it was Newsoms idea. This was “grass roots” from SF.
California has always been a free state. Why do the people of california have to pay reparations? This is the dumbest thing I have heard of.
I was ‘assigned’ a Caucasian male in Canaduh, at birth but I identify as a Black, son of a slave, who resides in California. When do I get my money? Certified cheque please, and make sure it isn’t an about to collapse bank!
It should be obvious but just in case, since we live in bizarro world:
</sarc>
Gibsmedat! Or else.
I think at this point everyone is looking for someone, probably a judge, to block it, so as to be able to heap imprecations on his head while breathing private sighs of relief.
They want a plausible scapegoat, a sin-eater.
It is of course unconstitutional.
Psychotic

Either way, whitey pays.
Every Black person in America needs to move to California to get their free money.
Will Silly-Con Valley Bank loan the already bankrupt state the money?
Gavin is toast in national politics is he does this.
Most of the money will be in the pockets of non black business owners within 30 days
I left California in 1978. No regrets.
However California, you elected these clowns and now you must pay the price. Be prepared to have your standard of living decreased thanks to the higher taxes you will now pay and the fewer business (i.e. jobs) that will be around. My heart goes out to the one-third of Californians who are conservative and in no way support this insanity. This will cost you and your family tens of thousands in additional taxes over the years. If I lived there today, I would move tomorrow.
ummmm....why would every single last Black person in the United States not immediately move to California?
I would for the amounts they are talking about if I qualified.
I mean, if you want to just give me a huge amount of free money.......
So amazingly insane as to defy comment.
Even a Molotov cocktail of all 69 hallucinogens on sale in the Cal state Capitol building vending machine — couldn’t warp a sane mind into such delusional madness.
Its never over.
