California was a free state. It would be more appropriate to pay reparations to the descendants of the Chinese slave laborers.

Do the dopes up in Sacto not know that California backed the North during the War Between the States?

You can best do that by moving out of state.

Any of the very few conservative Californians left will buckle under to avoid the Newsome police stete coming down on them.

They have all your property and tax records, you will comply or go bankrupt.

as the nation struggles again with civil rights...

I’m not struggling.

How about you, you struggling?

I might struggle to contain laughter if someone asked me about the ridiculous subject :)

Cali political class making it easy for Trump on Nov 3.

Self-impaling, a suicide. Count it as a covid death.

Heres the deal. Over 25% of black Americans descend from white slave owners, while only 2% of white Americans do.

I should pay them because of something their great grandfather did?

How about the descendants of the black slave owners? How about the Irish slaves that were treated worse than the blacks? California did treat the Chinese worse than Southerners treated the blacks and there is ample documentation about the atrocities.

When white folks flee the state they can sing “free at last, free at last!”.

This from the state that’s paying for entitlements for illegal aliens, but doesn’t put enough money into its energy needs and has to resort to rolling blackouts to keep their electrical grid from collapsing on high use days. Geez, what a f**ked up mess the Democrats have made of California!

Hypothetical. A man leaves a woman and has to play alimony. But the woman looks like Barry Obama’s momma and the man like Barry Obama’s dada. Who pays whom?

They should deduct all the monies paid over the last 50 years for affirmative action programs, college education, free school lunches, housing, food stamps, medical care....all adjusted for inflation, of course.
