I'd love for these fools to try to pass this as a ballot measure though.
“may”?!
Right. I doubt even the Ninth Circus lets this stand.
Who knew Commiefornia didn't abolish slavery until 1977?
If Kali was never a slave state, his can they possibly owe slavery reparations? (not that Confederate states do either, of course)
If there are any Californians who are still alive and were actual slaves in the territory or state of California, we can talk.
The idea behind ‘reparations’ is an attempt to swing the murder demographics solidly into the ‘white-on-black’ category, because that’s precisely the affect it will have.
They can’t but it’s not stopping these grifters. That’s why they’re throwing in all this other nonsense about “redlining” and “over-policing” as being relevant to black slavery. I have no idea how they make this conclusion but these activists can delude themselves of just about anything when it comes to their purported victimhood.
What years was slavery legal in CA?
If being in America is so terrible they can take the reparations only after they renounce their citizenship and are exiled out of America forever
It was the penumbra of slavery.
The Libs are counting on this being struck down and then will demonize the Conservative courts for it. I’m certain that was the game plan all along.
The worst thing the Conservative court could do is approve it and up the ante to $10M per person. But then CA would scream for a bailout.
In this state, I think the outrage will be the most among Hispanics (the majority) and Asians. This will be a terrific wedge issue, much like Proposition 187 was supposedly the reason so many Hispanics decided to be Democrats.
“”I’d love for these fools to try to pass this as a ballot measure though.””
Good idea - that’s what needs to happen. Participated in a lot of CA elections with propositions on ballots that were defeated by the voters BUT in today’s CA - a big question especially if they allow those not eligible to vote to have a say!! CA really needs cleaning up desperately but we moved 3000 miles away so others will have to clean up their act now and I sincerely wish them GOOD LUCK - the state WAS too great to destroy!!!
Them penumbras’ll get you every time! XD
The only acceptable ‘reparations’ is one-way coach airfare back to Africa with a snack and an Adam Sandler movie.
Never. In fact it’s explicitly outlawed in the state constitution. Not that any of these grifters would know or care to know, but California entering the Union as a free state was part of the Missouri Compromise.
“Who knew Commiefornia didn’t abolish slavery until 1977?”
Read the article.
As long as it’s not Happy Gilmore or The Waterboy. Those were funny.
Bull S^^T! Blacks were not the only ones enslaved in the US.
Read some REAL history for a change. There were thousands of indentured servants sent to the colonies and this continued throughout the time up to the civil war, all were white.
These people were effectively slaves and owned by another person. Their indenture could be sold to another person at any time, and many were owned by black people. (Read some real history!)
There are many recorded cases were an owner “misplaced” the indenture paperwork. When that happened that indentured servant was a slave for the rest of their lives.
