Gavin Newsom's reparations task force considers $569 BILLION recommendation that could see all descendants of slaves in California receive $223,200 for ‘housing discrimination’ – in nation’s biggest ever restitution effort

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.

Of course, I suppose it’s irrelevant that California was never a slave state. Also, there are descendants of people who fought for the union in the Civil War, thus, their ancestors already did their part against slavery. It would be double taxation, in a sense, to have them pay reparations.
But nobody in CA government cares. I’m just venting it here bc I still can.

Take it out of their pay, sale of their homes, stocks, etc.

If you want to be stupid, do it with your own money.

I would move to CA for the reparations, but it’s too much fun living in the free state of Florida.

I suspect he will fund this through the largest tax increase in world history. So everyone, including African Americans, will all pay dearly for this boondoggle.

And a white person whose family emigrated well after slavery, is responsible how?

And a white person whose family lived in the North and/or fought against slavery is responsible how?

And a white person whose ancestors owned slaves, but is generations removed from it is responsible how?

And a person who is of mixed race is treated how? Gets 50%?

Does a black person have to prove they were discriminated against?

If a black person immigrated to the US after slavery, even last month, is he still eligible?

Is there an offset for government handouts, special privileges, etc. already given?

Should there be an offset due to the disproportionate amount of violent crime?

Should white democrats pay a higher sum towards reparations given their support of slavery and bigotry- even to the extent of having known klansmen like (deceased) Senator Robert Byrd in leadership, and their refusal to agree to the ‘64 Civil Rights Act?

I’m not in California, what assurances are there that none of my tax dollars go towards this nonsense?

I could go on. This is nonsensical, and likely intended to win black votes when Newsome runs in ‘24.

Blacks from around the country should move to California NOW... This is a much better deal than getting $20,000 in Student Loans forgiven.

All descendants of slaves?

A good amount of backcountry old time white Americans and consequently their descendants have this ancestry.

Sub-Saharan DNA is small but there.

They would have to be included in “all”.

I guess I don’t have to be black to get the moo-la.

I have a small percentage of Jewish ancestry. They were ALL slaves in Egypt.

I mean, the headline says ALL descendants of slaves.

When did California have legal slavery? Just Asking for a friend.

If California allowed for Indentured Servitude or Slavery, knowingly without prosecution of the guilty, when it was illegal by Territory, Constitution, or State provision, then they owe restitution.

If they are descendants of slaves from other states, then they need to take that up with the other states.

Pretty sure there’s something called the Equal Protection Clause in the Constitution.

Silly me, bringing the Constitution into this...

And you can be sure Gavin will see that federal dollars will pay the lions-share, i.e., all of us will pay for CA's latest socialist giveaway program.

Will Americans ever come to understand that the government has nothing to give? It can only take from productive citizens and give to special interests.

The newly formed Ministry of Race will have to send out compulsory melanin testing kits to determine who is Black this would be in lieu of yelling N***er at someone and seeing who begins to melt down about it and recording and uploading that video with documentation to prove who is owed this money. If you fail the melanin test, you will have a retroactively applied levy done on all your assets and income. This is settled science and you will be labelled as a racist and subject to castration\genital mutilation and 10 years jail time if you do not comply.
