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.

"And California was never a slave state."

Any politically correct excuse to appropriate taxes regardless what ordinary qualified majority citizen voters want.

"Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government [emphasis added], and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."

Economists?

They're just another negro street gang attempting to commit armed robbery.

There's really only one effective way to deal with armed robbers.

If it’s marked “paid in full”, $14 trillion is cheap.

It won't be. These people don't just want to rob you, they want to kill you, rape your wife and daughters to death, and then turn your home into a crack-house.

There would have been good-paying factory jobs in the inner cities once again.

Who wants a job, when you can get baby-money and crazy-money from the government?

“2nd obvious question: What have these genious economists quantified as the offsetting cost of welfare, WIC, Medical, housing assistance, cost of crimes, cost of police/courts/incarceration, etc., etc., created by the black population in California since the 1840’s? I’m against collectivism (many/most of CA’s blacks might have added no cost at all). But they can’t have it both ways.”

Also what is the value of a life worth ??? Every descendent of slaves owes their very existence to slavery. If there had not been slavery, their ancestors never would have met and procreated. Yes slavery sucked but if you are a descendent of slaves you need to realize that you would not have ever been born if it had not been for slavery.

Bet you that Liz Warren comes up with DNA that will support her claim that she is a percentage slave and eligible for payment.

Economics is racist? Then it'd be racist to use the products of that racist system.

I wonder what $14 trillion in wampum looks like?

Great idea, and the crime rates would drop like a stone, too.

Not much is known about Kaycea Williams' views, but a lot of her work seems to be focused on economic issues in her home country of Jamaica, according to her LinkedIn.

She has previously written about public corruption and its effects on economies.

Williams now works as an economics professor at Chapman University and at Los Angeles Pierce University and runs a firm called Strategic Economics Analysis.

In 85 or so. He returned from war mentally ill. Sad case, not a threat to anyone. He had bought a few trinkets for Christmas gifts. He had no money to spend. Happened near the bus station.
