The California Reparations Task Force published documents Monday indicating it plans to recommend the state apologize for racism and slavery and consider “down payments” of varying amounts to eligible African American residents.

If they want their bleeping reparations so bad, they should just go to the countries in Africa and the Middle East involved in the slave trade and demand their reparations! Not that it’ll be successful, I doubt it will!
“California reparations task force to recommend ‘down payments’ for slavery, racism”
Really? What kind of financing terms can I get for buying slaves? Is there a lease option?
” they should just go to the countries in Africa”
...where they can get a giraffe or hyena to ease the “suffering”.
Indirectly we will all pay for this. It is not just a California problem.
I love it how a bunch of reconquistas from south of the border - the ones doing all the roofing and lawn work and keeping the restaurants afloat - are going to end up paying for a bunch of blacks, many of whom never did an honest days work.
The blacks owe whites reparations for destroying once great cities.
Deduct all welfare payouts and other subsidies first, including the costs of crimes committed. I'm sure their balance due them would be a net deficit.
It was never a California problem because slavery was always illegal in California.
Bite me and your sanctimonious BS. If you see someplace you’d rather be, please go there.
Facts don’t matter to the liberals who run California. They have decided they feel guilty about alleged legacies of slavery and want to spend other people’s money to make their political statement.
So the fact that California was never a slave state doesn’t matter to these people. All that matters is the political statement. Do you have a Newsome gets brownie points for doing this virtue signaling that he signed off on.
Down payments???? That makes it sound like they are buying these people back into slavery.
Blame the great society and all the cash dumped in.
Blame their forefathers for not going to the great nation of Liberia created for specifically these people.
Why won’t they allow their selves to integrate and be American?
Whites, like blacks, are a minority in California. There will be a lot of Hispanics & Asians paying for this.
We now believe that as many as 1,506,000 enslaved Africans arrived in the Spanish Americas directly from Africa between 1520 and 1867. We further estimate that an additional 566,000 enslaved Africans were disembarked in Spanish America from other European colonies in the New World, such as Jamaica and Brazil

Go to Spain for your reparations request. California was never a slave state.
That’s right!
Whatever amount it is will never be enough. Inch, mile.
It’s the classic Tijuana bargain. Eventually they wll get down to $50K per black household and then it will be accepted.
My point was... So many people saying “Not my problem, California voted for that crap so they have to live with it”.
No... Indirectly it will cost us ALL so it is everyone’s problem no matter what state they are in.
