The California Assembly will vote before Monday on a state Senate bill that creates a task force to look at the question of slavery reparations. The measure passed the state Senate in a bipartisan vote.
The radical left is getting ready for a Biden presidency and a Democratic Party takeover of the U.S. House and Senate by laying the groundwork for their agenda at the state level. Slavery reparations will be close to the top of the radical’s wish list if Biden wins.

Absurdity!

“The measure passed the state Senate in a bipartisan vote.”
It’s sickening that any republican would vote for this.

The height / depth / width of the STUPID in California is LIMITLESS
When they go ahead and enact this Zimbabwe-style theft from non-blacks, it will be permanent. Because if I owe black people money over what happened 160 years ago, then why won’t my children and their children also owe? Obviously they will also owe.
(Of course at that point, there’s no way that anyone in my family is going to residing in the sh-t hole that was once California)
