SACRAMENTO, Calif. —
A proposal to establish a task force to study and prepare recommendations for how to give reparations to African Americans passed the California Assembly on Thursday.
The bill advanced with a 56-5 vote as protests nationwide over police brutality re-energized the movement for racial justice and activists pressed for sweeping reforms. It is a top priority for California's Legislative Black Caucus. If the bill passes the Senate and is signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom, eight people with backgrounds in racial justice reforms would lead a study into who would be eligible for compensation due to slavery and how it should be awarded.
Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, a Democrat from San Diego who wrote the bill, said the study would reiterate California's history of abetting slavery, even as it joined the union as a “free state” in 1850.
“The discriminatory practices of the past echo into the everyday lives of today's Californians,” said Weber, who leads the Legislative Black Caucus.

The RATS of our ONE PARTY STATE will do ANYTHING for the Black vote.
Show me a slave....
CA was never a slave state until recently.
Was there slavery in California before it joined the union as a ‘free state’ in 1840? I’ve not studied the history of California to any extent? Although, I would think not because it was a ‘free state.’ Thanks
The Parent Organization for Slavery and other atrocities should be held solely liable. The DEMOCRAT PARTY!
I wonder what the federal reserve is thinking? 25 trillion in debt, the economy in shambles from covid-19 and the democrat non-sense. No interest rates essentially, and now efforts by Democrats to do government reparations........
What the chances that the Democrats plan on stiffing they federal reserve banks??!! What is that going to do to the world economy??
Last time someone went against the Bankers they ended badly in Dallas....
Me thinks the Democrats perhaps might make the Federal Reserve rethink their positions soon. They really haven’t supported Trump, but it’s their best bet to not have the golden goose die.
Just a foretaste of what’s coming if Trump isn’t reelected and the house and senate are both Democrat. They are now saying they will increase the Supreme Court to 11 to guarantee a liberal out come on every issue.
