It's semi-official. Reparations are coming to California. $672b for 2m blacks in CA, representing a payout of $336,000 per individual. Expect California's black population to skyrocket in anticipation.

Get ready for Elizabeth Warren to turn Black and head for California. She has milked the Indian gig for all it is worth.

When will it end? If a child gets reparations today and then in ten years has their own children do those children get a payout?

[Jonty30]

It never ends.

Going to stock up on popcorn for this one.

California dod not exist when these so called atrocoties were comitted. Why is its current populatin to blame and liable?

[Reno89519]

Were their slaves in California? And, if so, any documented descendants? I don’t think so.

The same Democrats that are behind this, encourage open borders which creates modern day slavery by traffickers.

They don’t care about handing out govt money. It’s not coming out of their pocket. They have an election to save.

There were some slaves brought to calif by their owners before the Civil War. Were freeded after.

Only descendants of American slave owners whose slaves were emancipated. The British compensated slave owners for their emancipated slaves. America never did.

exactly, this is all about buying votes, vote for us Dems and you get $236,000

[FreedomForce]

Reparations have already been given in that their ancestors were not forcibly shipped to Africa. U.S citizenship is reparations paid in full for descendants of slaves. California has opened the floodgates for neverending reparations with their foolish decision.

[Organic Panic]

I am a slave approximately 40% of my working life. Do I get a check?

[Trump20162020]

I always love how California thinks they “lead” and “inspire” others, when it’s only the same tiny handful of the nation’s deepest-blue states that ever even think to follow along with whatever antics they’re currently up to. No purple state, no red state, the federal government, is going to care what California does with this garbage.

If you skin don’t shine, you should be fine . . .
