task force may also recommend for the State of California to formally apologize for slavery

Gee, I've always heard CA was a Free state.

Does that include the ones whose families immigrated here after slavery. Do they get paid, too?

That “Task Force” continues to live and operate in a fantasy world. It’s a hive mind mentality, with never a discouraging word.

CA doesn’t have the money to pay out these proposed “reparations,” but the Democrats will somehow stick the U.S. taxpayers with the bill.

The native Indian tribes of California might have a different idea of who should be first in line for reparations.

( just another thing to agitate and worsen race relations. Democrats are the party of division par excellence)

That this proposal isn’t a lame joke demonstsrates that state of California will never give up it’s way too kind title, “The land of nuts and fruits.” There is not one logical assumption or aspect of this proposal. Clearly the crafters want to finish the economic and social and moral demise of the big state. “Divide and conquer” is now “Divide the population in a tremendously huge bank heist and brag about how smart you were to do so \>”

I see stuff like this, done by “government” and realize that America needs, and is heading towards, bankruptcy.

You are not very imaginative.

They don't have the money to pay their $5 million + $194K/year x 20 - and they never will.

But the first time they pay ONE FECKING DOLLAR as a "downpayment", the fragile civil peace that still prevails will be over for good - which is the goal.

There will be add-on taxes "to pay what we owe". Every budget cycle will be dominated by "how much from the whites this time? As of 2046, they still owe 94%".

A debt from Group X to group Y simply cannot be allowed to be written into law, not even if the first payment is one cent.

The possible payments reflect the work of economists who advised the task force

Sounds like there's a lot of highly intelligent people what put in a lot of work and thinking. It must be the right thing to do. /s

Pure eff'n propaganda.

IF...California can afford it, the worst elements of society will spread across the nation, bringing incredible inflation and destruction with them.

Cause and effect...Slavery is not the cause of their. Give them a mule and an acre in the Grand Canyon...and let them go at it.
