ACalifornia Democrat held back tears earlier this month when a Republican lawmaker said it would be unfair to make Asians and Latinos pay slavery reparations to African-Americans.

The exchange happened on June 11 during a meeting of the California Assembly Committee on Judiciary. The lawmakers were discussing SB 1331...

... Assemblywoman Kate Sanchez, a Republican from Santa Margarita... cited economists who analyzed the proposal from California's reparations task force and found it could cost $800 billion...."That's two and a half times the size of our entire state budget," she said. "To pay for that, you'd need a major tax hike unlike anything this state has ever seen before...."

"After debate, the Judiciary Committee voted 9-3 to advance SB 1331 along party lines."

Reparations may end up being the straw that breaks the Dem's back in a state that hovers at 55% hispanic and 15% Asian, with neither group inclined to shoulder reparations.

I doubt they will vote for Trump or Republican. They may go for RFK, Jr. and his slate, and that would be a very good thing. MAGA should work to deny Biden Electoral Votes with strategic voting in solid Blue States.

In order to liable to pay “Rapparayshuns,” shouldn’t you be required to have been a slave owner?

Well, it would also be unfair to everyone else alive, since no one alive in the US today ever held any other person in slavery.

This is what they are focusing on while the psycho they installed in the Oval office continues to leave the US border open, allows Iran to make billions in oil sales to finance their terror groups, and all the while we are heading light speed towards WW3.

It would also be unfair to those of us who had great-grandfathers who fought for the Union to free the slaves.

The only “fair” thing to do is load the those who never picked cotton up on ships and planes and send them home to their beloved Africa. I had nothing to do with them supposedly picking cotton. They can KMA on Main Street and I’ll give them 15 minutes to draw a crowd. That will be my “reparations” for something they did nothing to deserve “reparations” for. They are Americans or Africans. They need to make up their tiny minds. Africans are now flooding into the evil, white supremacist America by the hundreds of thousands. It seems those already here should be paying us for the privilege to live have lived here, been educated here and many of them became multimillionaires here in this great country. They need to stop their crying and throwing tantrums and grow up.

They are set to burn themselves out in CA.
The rate of flight is accelerating.
But so is the increase in general disgust and depression.

um- black people were slave owners too- some had large estates with many black slaves- I haven’t looked it up, but im guessing there might even be asian and latinos who owned slaves too?

Besides that no one alive should have to pay reparations.

No one alive DESERVES to receive reparations.

Since African American slavery ended nearly two centuries ago, and all slaves and slaveowners are dead, it's unfair to make anyone pay reparations.

I can understand why grifters who would benefit from the never-going-to-happen get exercised at public meetings in this topic.
But this guy’s Indian and he gets emotional about it when he wasn’t even born here? I can only guess it’s the fact that he’s Canadian that makes him weak like this

Not sure if that is true about some of our recent Muslim immigrants from the Middle East and Northern Africa.

I believe CA is 40% Hispanic and 15% Asian, but that overwhelms the 5-6% that are black! And forget trying to get Hispanics to feel “White Guilt”! Forget making a lot of us whites feel it, as well!

My BIL’s parents came here from Poland after WW2. They had the clothes on their backs. They were poor - but working poor. He refuses to sign up for white guilt too!
