Members of California's Black reparations task force handed off their historic two-year report to state lawmakers Thursday, beginning the next chapter in the long struggle to compensate the descendants of slavery.
The first U.S. panel of its kind met one last time Thursday, urging supporters to press lawmakers into action on more than 100 recommendations. State legislators and Gov. Gavin Newsom must agree for any money to be paid or for any policy changes to be adopted.
“This book of truth will be a legacy, will be a testament to the full story,” said Lisa Holder, a civil rights attorney and task force member. “Anyone who says that we are colorblind, that we have solved the problem of anti-Black animus and racism, I challenge you to read this document.”

calobnoxious at it again. Surely the legislature will vote this 🐂💨💩 down. 😉👍 NOT!
Almost moved to CA in 2007. Dodged that bullet.
C’mon, we know that this will eventually have to be imposed by the judiciary. I don’t think that even CA elected officials will do this, though it will probably be closer than predicted.
Why should Americans pay for the sins of Democrats?
I escaped CA in 1976 when I joined the military and never moved back. I go there only to visit family.
Thanking God for giving my otherwise clueless self that bit of wisdom back in the day.
“Historic”
“I don’t think that even CA elected officials will do this, though it will probably be closer than predicted.”
I disagree 100%. I believe it will indeed pass. Their thinking is this, so goes California so goes America. If for no other reason than to start a race war or civil war III in thee rest of America.
Exactly!

What Democrat will have the courage to vote this down, and so be called a racist?
Few, I would think. So I fearlessly predict that some version will pass. Maybe each eligible black won’t get $3 million. But maybe $5,000 or $10,000.
And so it begins.
First we pay the blacks not to riot and call it reparations.
Next we pay the browns not to riot and call it reparations.
Then we pay the ‘reds’ not to riot and call it reparations.
Where next?
The rats have a super majority. I think this will actually pass. The CA Hispanic are going to be thrilled paying billions to the blacks I’m sure.
I think that they should pass a law that stipulates that only African Americans and LGBTQ people can be elected to public office in California for the next 20 years. </sarcasm>
ha! the “reparations” task force handed the CA legislature a classic tar baby: they’re damned if they do and damned if they don’t! ... i’m not sure which damning i’m voting for ... on one hand, if they DO, then they’ll bankrupt the state and send a tsunami of productive citizens fleeing to the free states ... on the other hand, if they DON’T, then the gibmedats will have massive conniption fits and riot in the streets ... either way, CA loses yugely!
Well, Democrats can have fun with this.
Some have said this could be a problem for Newsom, but Newsom created this reparations task force in the first place.
It appears that he set up this task force due to guilt over George Floyd.

If she thinks racism in this country is bad right now....pass this mess and see what happens.
When Newsome runs for POTUS, this will be his crowning achievement or preferably his downfall.
It’s my understanding that California has a large population of first and second generations of Hispanic immigrants. How are they going to tax the population for a very large payment to one minority group? I see a very difficult situation arising.
Reparations are impossible to pay since no one alive is either responsible or entitled to damages. It will create a large backlash and create more division.
