The Free Press ^ | 12/10/2022 | Liam Edgar

Last week a special task force appointed by left-wing California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom recommended that black residents of his state be paid $223,000 each as reparations for the legacy of slavery.

The proposal allegedly limits possible reparations to state residents who are descendants of free or enslaved blacks who were in the country at the end of the 19th century, according to Fox News...

In other news, U-Haul trucks are scarce as many are heading to Kali-fornia now.

If reparations are to be paid, they should be paid by white democrats. Republicans didn’t own slaves.

Pure racist nonsense and thievery.

So, black slave owners that owned black and White slaves get reparations.

Got it.

I still don’t understand how this California fantasy is supposed to work. For example:

Person A has 8 black great-grandparents. He can prove that they were all once slaves.
Person B has 3 black great-grandparents, and 5 of other races. He can only prove that one of them was a slave.
Person C has 8 black great-grandparents. No doubt about that. But there is no proof that any of them were once a slave.

This is very confusing. Do all three people get the same amount of reparations?
I think it would be easier - and just as fair - to throw money out of an airplane.

What happened between 2017 aand today to account for the huge increase in support?

I think the article gets it right with CRT and its forced application in high school and college curricula.

“ Pure racist nonsense and thievery.”

Which means it is guaranteed to happen.

In truth, it is a state with a fascist government, taking money from people less likely to support it and giving it to people who are guaranteed to support it.

Otherwise heard of as two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner.

People who were never slave owners paying a quarter of a million dollars to people who were never slaves in a state where there was never slavery.

This is simply a way to bypass the Consitution by making wealth transfer from one race to another which is unconstitutional.

“Strongly divided,” yet “only” 60% of Democrats support it. And considering almost all blacks in America are Democrats and will keep being so in the foreseeable future no matter what the Democratic Party does, you can imagine what the numbers look like among white, Hispanic and Asian Democrats.

I wish the Democrats would push this nonsense nationally and not just in states like California.

You’re making it way too complicated. It boils down to:

1. Are you white?
2. Pay up, Sucka!

Yep, and a good way to pop off racial violence.
