Expert panel deciding how much black Californians are owed include a professor who believes black Americans are owed $14 trillion

Others on the panel have said that economics is inherently racist and the plight of Native Americans are 'irrelevant' to payouts

The panel has calculated how much they believe black Californians are owed for racial injustices in the state A Reparations Task Force will now make its final report to the State Legislature at the end of June

The five economists who will determine just how much the state will pay black Californians for historic injustices include a professor who has called for nationwide reparations of up to $14trillion.

Other members of the expert panel advising California's Reparations Task Force on what they believe would be a fair amount repaid to the descendants of racial discrimination have said there is no such thing as a black middle class and argued the plight of Native Americans is 'irrelevant.'

Woke professors William Spriggs, Thomas Craemer, Kaycea Campbell, William A 'Sandy' Darity Jr and his wife, lecturer Kirstin Mullen, are charged with quantifying the past economic injustices African Americans faced and determining how much compensation black Californians should receive for those crimes.

A one way ticket to Africa would be a lot cheaper—and the blacks would not have to suffer from white racism ever again...

Win win!

A Reparations Task Force is a crime against humanity.

There have been three times in my life when I was a near victim of mugging (I lived in NYC at the time) didn’t get hurt and the only thing I lost was a pizza I just picked up. One of them jumped on my back and I dropped the pizza box I was carrying, and they took off with it.

All three times the perpetrators were male black youth.

Where are my reparations?

California joined the Union as a free state. It is probably owed by those who hid there during the Civil War.

Yeah, reparations, one way ticket, loss of citizenship, and $1000 when you land wherever you choose in Africa. Forever bared from coming back. I will even throw in social security payments equal to what was paid into the system if you worked.

Win Win.

What percentage of oppressed DNA does one need to qualify?

This will require a national DNA database.

You fared better than my great uncle...WWII vet and silver star recipient for actions around Bastogne. He was mugged and killed in NYCesspool by sons of Obama. Perps never found.

The idea is to bankrupt this country. They’re happy to start with CA. Then it’ll be Washington state and Oregon. Then Massachussetts and Rhode Island.

They want all the wealth transferred to one specific group. Of course it won’t all go to that group. There are a dozen other wailing victim groups who will be demanding their piece of the pie.

White Males who do reproduction the right way will get none of the money. Amazingly, no member of congress or the executive branch will be rendered penniless. I wonder why!?

statistically, as a race, the Black race is by far THE most racist of all. In fact even today in California blacks regularly commit hate crimes against "latinos" and Asians merely because of their race .

and more blacks kill other blacks in America in one year than all of the blacks killed by whites while slavery was legal from 1776 to 1865.

I want reparations for all the grief and suffering caused by the Civil War where thousands of white men gave their lives to set blacks free, and all the turmoil caused by rioting and looting over my lifetime

Propose the Reparations but they must include the tax each will have to pay. No more pay later. There is a real cost.

My Dad's older brother came of age in the slums of South Boston ("Southie") in the 1920s. He spoke often of seeing signs at work places everywhere saying "No Irish Need Apply".

Where are *my* reparations?????

Perhaps these reparations can be paid out using trillion-dollar coins. That way you’d only need 14 of them.

Yes, there’d be problems making change. That’s for someone else to solve. I’m just the big-ideas guy.
