California Governor Gavin Newsom has entertained the idea of giving reparations to African American citizens of California in the last two years.
He commissioned a Reparations Task Force to decide how much African-Americans should receive in reparations and what offenses white people supposedly committed that would merit the reparation payments.
The offenses that they have come up with so far include, of course, slavery, housing discrimination, mass incarceration, and ‘devaluation’ of black businesses and health care.
The committee suggested a high price tag of $223,200 for each African American citizen of California, which would cost the state $569 Billion.
According to a Pew Research poll conducted in 2021, reparations are generally unpopular with Americans.
68 percent of US adults said they do not support reparations for slavery, while only 30 percent said they do support them.
The group that is by far the most supportive is African Americans, where 77 percent said they supported it.
The Gateway Pundit Reports–
A reparations committee in California has suggested that descendants of slaves in the state could 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’ – and it has been estimated that it would cost around $569 billion to compensate the 2.5 million Black Californians for setbacks between 1933 and 1977, according to the New York Times.
That is more than California’s $512.8 billion expenditure in 2021 – which included funding for schools, hospitals, universities, highways, policing and corrections.
However, discussions are still underway, and the panel is continuing to consider how payments should be made – some suggested tuition and housing grants or cash.
The task force has also identified four other causes for reparations: Mass incarceration, unjust property seizures, devaluation of Black businesses and health care.
I wonder what the Chinese immigrants in California will think of this?
Or the Chicanos................
Many Wokesters (like Newsom) are clearly brainwashed to the point of insanity.
$569 BILLION?!! Just how many high-speed rail boondoggles you could buy with that kind of money!
I hope there is a residency requirement and they all move from the rest of the country.
Turn it into Liberia.
So Deep State is proposing payments to people who were never slaves from people who never owned any.
We need to restore our republic before its too late.
...and a mule.

😎👍 I’m only about 10 miles from the state line. There was a black man with the same last name in my dad’s home town from way back so I probably qualify. Show me da money! And obviously grab’em is out of touch (surprise). Has he seen the prices in the Cali housing market? $200 k might be a downpayment on an 800 sq ft shanty.
What’s HIS cut?
California was never a slave state. If anyone, the Chinese should claim reparations, but they seem to be doing quite well.
To be woke is to identify your grievances against society, as long as it is against white people, and then to complain. It is institutionalizing racism.
I should start a new website: find-a-slave-ancestor.com and charge a 10% finders fee.
$223,200 each for a total of around $569 billion ? so they consider all blacks in California descendants of slaves ?
This is another money laundering scheme.
“We need to restore our republic before its too late.”

How?
“..So Deep State is proposing payments to people who were never slaves from people who never owned any. We need to restore our republic before it’s too late....”
With Deep State UniParty hacks controlling/destroying every single aspect of human existence in the country, it’s already too late. We’re not voting our way out of this.
These SOBs waste/lose trillions of dollars...trillions with a T. Yet, they want us to account for every $600 we ever spend. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds.
bs
“..Turn it into Liberia...”
^THIS^
This should work well for the rest of the country as most of the grifters, troublemakers, theives etc. will flock there by the millions for the millions being given away.
So should we expect a mass migration of black from around the country to California?..
Will Opera who has her mansion there get this

Proving that only 23% of blacks have common sense and something upstairs, other than “street smarts”.
