Yahoo News California releases groundbreaking reparations report urging 'comprehensiveâ compensation for Black Americans Marquise Francis Marquise Francis·National Reporter & Producer Wed, June 1, 2022, 4:50 PM·4 min read Californiaâs first-in-the-nation task force on reparations released an extensive report on Wednesday detailing the stateâs role in 170 years of discrimination toward Black Americans, outlining how the lasting effects of slavery have produced âinnumerable harmsâ that no level of government has addressed to date.
The exhaustive 500-page report documents how descendants of slavery in California, and more broadly in the U.S., have suffered compounding inequities through more than a dozen facets of life, including education, employment and housing, and offers recommendations to right those wrongs through systemic policy shifts and âcomprehensiveâ financial compensation.

Of course they did… *yawn*
I would be so insulted…
I am sure the report was written by those nice non-biased Amish people (/s)
Blah blah blah
Wouldn’t “budget-breaking” be more accurate - oh, wait, no, just print more money and hand it out.
If they want to do that in their state....and if people are stupid enough to hang around and let the state steal from them, fine. Let them do that.
Don’t ask the rest of us to go along with their insanity.
Because Californians owned SO many slaves for their cotton fields, amirite?
Look for GOPers to be asked if they are for "reparations for past racial injustices" and their responses to be made into commercials.
If they GOPers are smart, they will not accept the underlying, nonsensical premise, even a little bit.
It is truly a golden age for blacks in America.
For those able to make use of it, they have every political and economic benefit and advantage available to them.
“descendants of slavery in California,”
California belonged to Mexico for all but about 20 years when slavery was legal in the US. So doesn’t Mexico owe this money?
California is welcome to turn their ENTIRE gross domestic product over to blacks as reparations. I’m sure there are a zillion illegals and homeless there who will be perfectly happy giving up whatever largess they get.
It will just be the final nail in the coffin of that cadaver they call California
Spain and then Mexico used native people as slaves in the Silver mines.
must be an election coming up.
CA, PULEEEASE tax the crap out of every Californian and give it to slave ancestors PULEEEASE!!!!!
They have no idea what this will do for the the Republican Party and Presidential elections. It would be guarantee a Republican president as long as they had that policy.
The black voting base would be entirely in CA which would destroy the black vote in other states BECAUSE unless youre an idiot you go where you get FREE MONEY.
THEN, everyone who’s being taxed to death, people and businesses, even black owned businesses, would get the hell out of the state because they can’t afford to stay.
THEN, as the tax base flees the economy CRASHES!
Woohoo!!
So CA is ripping off Hispanics from their share of the loot?
When all the Whiteys have kissed their last dollar goodbye where will CA turn to for more money? to the feds. This means to us. So the US will have reparations.
Reparations are illegal, wrong and unconstitutional. Not that they care.
Why do you say that? I didn’t imply anything. I just stated a fact.
Well if blacks are “owed” because their descendants were slaves, then those native people you mentioned (who I assume were Hispanic) must be “owed” too.
Fine- then i identify as black, and i also identify as a Californian, and if i get denied- then i will sue for racism and geolocation bias
