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...

Bring it, ***hole. We CAN put a price on what’s gonna happen to you.
Come & take it, Dr Amos.
So why do immigrants including illegals have to pay for this tax?
This is stupid. It’s more “anything but normal white” supremacy.
But, the question I ask is this: Would that settle anything? Would the descendants of these lottery winners be covered, or would they want a whole new settlement each generation?
IMO, they’d feel entitled to one. It would be “anyone but black” economic servitude forever. And unstable situation, obviously.
Democrats are the party of slavery. Let DNC cover the bills.
This whole thing is going to come crashing down pretty soon. No one is getting a dime for a multitude of reasons. The Dems got them all stirred up, and then they’ll have to deal with the aftermath when the disappoint hangover turns to rage.
Send the sin bill to the Democrat party.
zero, zip, zilch, bupkis, nil, naught, nada.
In other words, I say, not a damn cent.
“You cannot put a dollar sign on what has been done to black people,’ he added to Fox News”
Apparently they can.
“You cannot put a dollar sign on what has been done to black people”
Yeah we can for you...ZERO!
One dollar, in this case, would be the same as $1.2 million, or $14 trillion.
By establishing a legislative standard that white people owe living black people money, while quibbling about the price, you have already surrendered in principle- which is exactly what I expect the GOP to do.
My sin bill has been paid in full by the Blood of Jesus. I have never owned slaves I owe these grifters nothing
To atone for the Sin, let rise the sin taxes - taxes on prostitution, on street thugs, murderers, rapists, shoplifters etc.
Not. One. Dime.
I feel the price of a ticket to Africa is efficient and fair.
Isn’t asking for reparations at all, especially coming up with an actual dollar figure, “putting a dollar sign on what has been done to black people?”
As a white American, I acknowledge slavery, Jim Crow, sundown towns, and other ways blacks have suffered in this country. Those were all repugnant and we have done much, often at a high cost of blood and treasure, to correct those evils. Now, when will blacks start acknowledging and taking responsibility for their own problems: an 85% illegitimacy rate, dismissing educational achievement and a work ethic as “acting white,” embracing a violent drug-fueled gutter culture that has vanquished true civilization in majority-black areas? They dug that hole themselves. They need to dig themselves out. All reparations will do is result in blacks with all of those same pathologies and $1.2 million in the bank.
There’s not a human alive who isn’t descended from both slave and slave owner. Where’s mine?
‘We want direct cash payments just like how the stimulus [checks] were sent out. It's our inheritance, and we can handle it.’
And another resident added: ‘This million dollars we're hearing on the news is just inadequate and a further injustice if that's what this task force is going to recommend for Black Americans for 400-plus years and continuing of slavery and injustice that we have been forced to endure.
‘To even throw a million dollars at us is just an injustice.’
To even throw a million dollars at us is just an injustice.’
Totally agree
