FIRST ON FOX: California Gov. Gavin Newsom declined to endorse the cash payments – which could reach as high as $1.2 million for a single recipient – recommended by his reparations task force, telling Fox News Digital that dealing with the legacy of slavery "is about much more than cash payments."
"The Reparations Task Force’s independent findings and recommendations are a milestone in our bipartisan effort to advance justice and promote healing. This has been an important process, and we should continue to work as a nation to reconcile our original sin of slavery and understand how that history has shaped our country," Newsom said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
While the Democratic governor applauded the task force's work, he declined to endorse any specific recommendations, though he pledged to continue to "advance systemic changes that ensure an inclusive and equitable future for all Californians."
"Dealing with that legacy is about much more than cash payments. Many of the recommendations put forward by the Task Force are critical action items we’ve already been hard at work addressing: breaking down barriers to vote, bolstering resources to address hate, enacting sweeping law enforcement and justice reforms to build trust and safety, strengthening economic mobility — all while investing billions to root out disparities and improve equity in housing, education, healthcare, and well beyond. This work must continue," he said.
"Following the Task Force’s submission of its final report this summer, I look forward to a continued partnership with the Legislature to advance systemic changes that ensure an inclusive and equitable future for all Californians."
The task force's recommendation breaks payments down by types of historical discrimination. For instance, Black residents affected by redlining by banks would receive $3,366 for each year they lived in California from the early 1930s...

Absolutely.
collectively, economically, they are a drain.
Morally, the same. Let’s listen to what the popular rap songs idolize, money jacked from anywhere, glitzy hoes for sex, banging cops and doing more blo.
What society prospered on such a ideal diet?
Assembly: 62 Democrats versus 18 Republicans
Senate: 32 Democrats versus 8 Republicans
“One never know, do one?”
He should identify as having paid reparations.
Always stunned that Africa has gotten a pass with all this slavery stuff. Frustrating for sure.
I’m 2% Black and I want my free money.
Do I really need to put a sarc on it?
No to reparations guarantees riots this summer or 2024. Let’s see Grusome Newsom get past that.
Only because he has aspirations to sit in the urine-stained chair in the Oval Office....
“... has made them almost a nonentity in American politics.”
Their activists are a noisy bunch and they should be ashamed of themselves thinking their progress requires handouts. Their progress requires that in important ways they emulate the white culture.
It was more than villagers. The coastal kingdoms in Africa would trade slaves for weapons. Then use the weapons to take more prisoners. Then sell them for more weapons, etc.
Reparations have already been paid with Welfare, Free Medical, Supportive Housing expense and all the other freebies and blacks still are not happy.
Well, that’s certainly a switch. He’s the one that endorsed a committee to “explore ‘reperations’ in the first place.
What a hypocrite.
I can see his hopes of being a possible POTUS candidate evaporating as blacks turn on him (as they should for all other kinds of reasons).
He must have finally realized that blacks are asking for $800 billion - when California’s entire budget is “only” $300 billion.
My family lived in a home that was razed to build a freeway in So Cal.
We demand reparations for that.
Newsom said: “.... we’ve already been hard at work addressing: breaking down barriers to vote.”
Should be:
“We’ve already been hard at work addressing: breaking down barriers to vote more than once.”
Fixed.
California reparations legislation was always a manufactured “Sista Souljah” moment intended to make Gavin Newsome look moderate for his presidential run. The price tag for this government giveaway was beyond absurd.
The whole idea of this giveaway was absurd. That being said, we’ll probably have more riots here very soon because of Gruesome’s games
