Ronald Reagan coining the term "welfare queen" and for a disproportionately low number of Black Californians working as doctors and lawyers as part of a broader effort to make amends for slavery and racism.

The task force, which was created by state legislation signed by incumbent Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2020, formally approved over the weekend its final recommendations to the California Legislature, which will then decide whether to implement the measures and send them to the governor's desk to be signed into law.

Among the recommendations is for California to issue a formal apology enacted by the legislature and signed by the governor for slavery and anti-Black racism.

They need to all be packed up and shipped back to their ancestral homeland, a place devoid of racism and privation. Wakanda forever!

“Welfare queen” means a woman who is defrauding the welfare system to obtain payments that they are not entitled to.

So is the reparations committee saying that this behavior is typical of black people??? If not, why are the insulted by the term?

Reparations ARE WELFARE! They are given to people who do not work and they are permanent. A person can get about $40,000 per year in benefits simply by being “poor.” Reparations are no different.

I, for one, think it's long past time that Oswald Bates was granted a law license.

To be fair, they are actually over-represented as witch doctors and “hate crime” hoaxers, so in their own way they still have roles in the health care and legal fields.
