A California reparations task force leader has ordered taxpayers to pay their 'sin bill' and fork out because of 'what has been done to black people'.
Dr Amos Brown, the vice-chair of California's reparations task force, said people need to 'chill out' about the group's radical proposals, which includes handing cash payments to black residents of up to $1.2 million.
'You cannot put a dollar sign on what has been done to black people,' he added to Fox News. 'Our sin bill in this nation has been so high, and because of the long years of doing nothing, the interest has grown.'
Brown's comments come weeks after his task force sent its recommendations for reparations to state lawmakers, however California Governor Gavin Newsom has so far refused to say if he will support them.
Amos, a civil rights activist who also sits on the San Francisco reparations task force, said the huge payouts are necessary as a 'sin bill of enslavement. Of discrimination. Of intimidation. Of terrorizing black people'.
His San Francisco task force previously released its own recommendations of $5 million paydays, a guaranteed income of $97,000, and the eradication of all debt.
While admitting the titanic sums mean the state should pay what it 'can afford', the activist insisted officials could even look to follow a similar payment scheme to Germany's in the aftermath of World War Two.
'If you can't pay all of that, say what you can pay. That's the point,' he continued. 'If we can't pay it now, we do it like the Germans did - pay for it over installments.'
California's push for reparations payments has been met with fierce criticism over a lack of clarity over how it would be funded, with some critics also noting that it was never...

We owe these shiftless greedy shitbirds exactly nothing. Their problems are of their own making.
As I recall the California Republic came into the union as a”Free State”. No slaves at its inception as a State. So F off!
My family had people shooting at each other on both sides.
Ended up dead, wounded, or in Elmira, or Andersonville.
Hell, my gg-uncle was at Appomattox with Lee.
Nobody in Amos’ family was in the fight likely.
We already took care of the issue.
If it was so bad why didn’t you run away or revolt? Oh wait...there was room and board, clothing, food, medical, etc.
It will never be enough. When they were talking about a million dollars per black, blacks were saying it wasn’t enough; that they should get five million each, free houses, and a generous income, as well.
This is the hill to die on. This outrage must not happen.
I don't care.
The Civil Rights and Voting Rights acts were passed in the 1960s. "Affirmative Action" and "Equal Opportunigy", along with the very expensive "War on Poverty" were implemented shortly after.
What have negroes done with these things, paid for primarily by White People?
Sold drugs, done drugs, fornicated with no discipline, and murdered each other. To heck with 'em. End it all and make them fix their own problems (or not) at their own expense.
And Black People who don't partake in that foul and degraded culture know perfectly well I'm not talking about them.
I'll bite. Generational welfare and affirmative action. The bill is paid and those programs should now cease since it's apparent it was never appreciated. You got your handout and you squandered it. Anything more, go ask BLM.
Oh, wait ... there's TANF, SNAP, WIC, Section 8, School Lunches, Medicaid, 0bamaphones, ...
Next, all California counties’ property tax derived from the land value should be ceded, in perpetuity, to Californian’s with American Indian blood. Whassamatta, county bureaucrats, you can’t you get behind that? Your pay would drop 20%, you say? But it’s the right think to do, donchyaknow!
There have been at least 15 generations since the end of slavery. Enough is enough. Lots of people and groups of people have suffered throughout history, throughout the world. It is tragic that humanity is often cruel to humanity, but it doesn’t change the fact that we all have to be responsible for ourselves in life.
Upwards of 650,000 died during the America Civil War (some say it’s as high as 750,000). At least 360,000 died on the Union side. How did that affect their families, and future generations? After how many generations does what happened to your ancestors cease to be an excuse for the fact that life, though an amazing and wonderful gift, can be difficult?
“We wuz Kangs!”
Since when do Kings beg?
So now the sins of the father must be paid for by the son.
What’s next. Crimes of the father must be atoned for by the son.
Any $$ given will never end. Can’t wait until a black man can tell a woman. Hey, let’s have sex and make another million 9 months from now.
Let’s call student loan forgiveness. Student reparations.
Behind in mortgage payments, mortgage reparations.
Car out of gas, gas reparations.
Hungry, food reparations.
This can go on for ever.
If this actually happened, the single black females, that got knocked-up, and had babies, may, actually, go and find the baby-daddies, to get some of their payout, for child support.
You cannot put a dollar value on the sins against the noble People of Color. So don’t. Give them each a beer, instead.
Can’t put a dollar sign on it?
Sure I can... $0.00
Sorry. My descendants came to the us of a after slavery was abolished. I’m not guilty.
But I’ll tell ya what. You find me a living slave and I’ll search like oj has been for the killer for a living slave owner to pay them.
Consider how many ancestors one has, that is a lot of potential sin if one goes back a few generations.
But these guys generalize even more than that, they presume guilt by race. Text book racism.
Prepare a Class Action lawsuit demanding repayment for all largess a team of forensic accountants find .gov spent on programs spent on anyone receiving reparations. Like Medicaid Recovery Program.
give me my money....
This is exactly what I think every time I hear this crap. Trillions of dollars dumped into a hole and what has it gained us?
