A reparations committee in California has suggested that descendants of slaves in the state should be compensated $223,200 each for 'housing discrimination'.
The nine-member Reparations Task Force was formed by California Governor Gavin Newsom as part of the country's largest ever effort to address reparations for slavery.
A focus of the California task force has been 'housing discrimination' - it has estimated the 2.5 million Black Californians require compensation of around $569billion, according to the New York Times.

Already got the check.
Already spent the $223,200
Had a good time.
Needs more.
“The country called California is committing suicide by a thousand cuts.”
Guess who will bail California out?
Hint: Too big to fail.
Bet there's a huge number of blacks whose black ancestors owned slaves.
Is CA gonna check first or just hand out checks to all blacks?
STAND BACK! There may be a new California “gold” Rush! Chicago, Memphis and Atlanta may be deserted in the rush West!
If that amount is paid out to all descendants of slaves rest assured most will be broke within six months and demand MORE!
Chinese railroad workers might have a claim.
Logically, if your ancestors were brought involuntarily from Africa as slaves, you should be entitled to a one-way airline ticket back to Africa.
That is my first question. Is this just for people that were in California before the announcement, or does it apply to people who will move there tomorrow and the day after?
This may be rough for California taxpayers but could be a great benefit to other states.
As a federal taxpayer, I just wish there was some way I could contribute money to this noble experiment.
Suddenly I identify as a Californian negro.
“STAND BACK! There may be a new California “gold” Rush! Chicago, Memphis and Atlanta may be deserted in the rush West!”
That is what I was thinking. I have a black ancestor (escape slave) on my mother’s side of the family. I look very white, wonder if they would give me reparations if I moved to Ca.
Half a trillion dollars!
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Yeah.
Tell me he ain’t setting things up to run for POTUS.
Printed out of thin air.
How many forest fires will it take to get a half a trillion dollars in federal aide??
That’s why I abandoned being a tax “payer”. For all intents and purposes, I’ve gone as Galt as someone can go in the real world.
In a few months from now the California State Government
will be seeing billions of dollars less revenue because of the rotten performance of Silicon Valley stocks. California went through this after the 2008 stock market crash. Newsom and the Democrats learned nothing from that. They can pay state employees or reparations, but not both.
fkn ridiculous... we owe those people nothing. they owe society billions for destroying every major city in this country. zero respect for any of them. spit...
Never interrupt your enemy when he is busy destroying himself (or his State). Californians deserve every measure of pain that is coming.
Will there be an influx of blacks to California?
how does reparations poll?
black 74% approve
white 15% approve
LMAO
I guess I need to identify as a black Californian soon :)
and if anyone opposes me, I’ll call them hateful!
Guess who will bail California out”
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Where does newsome get off asking for this kinda money?
Who does he think he is anyway? Volodymyr Zelensky
