The San Diego Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 to support 14 bills making their way through the California legislature to provide reparations for slavery, even though California entered the Union in 1850 as a free state.
The San Diego Union-Tribune reported:
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to support a series of bills making their way through the California Legislature that would provide reparations to Black people who have been harmed by systemic racism and other inequities.
…
Supervisor Joel Anderson was the lone no vote.
…
“If we wanted to go through our history, there isn’t anybody in the United States that somebody in their history wasn’t discriminated against,” Anderson said, pointing to atrocities committed in California against Native Americans. “I think that if we keep looking to the past, we’ll never get to the future, and I want to focus on how we can improve things moving forward.”

So San Diego is a city in a State that never had slaves are going to take money from the taxpayers that never were slave owners and give it to people that never were slaves.
Sounds to me like another scam to rob the taxpayers.
Stupid left coast idiots are still trying to drag their own asses into the slavery fiasco of long ago although Cauliphonya was a free state with no slaves. Idiots. Why don’t they use all this excess “fun money” cleaning up those crapholes of San Fernasco and Oakland. Brains are a terrible thing to waste but California does it all the time.
I agree, pay every freed slave. Anyone else is just a grifter.
Pay up Honkies or we burn San Dego down!
Jive ass turkeys.
As an economist, I did over a hundred wrongful death reports for the courts. The purpose of reparations is to leave the plaintiff in a position of financial indifference relative to the event. I compared current wage rates for blacks in the US versus the African nations (e.g., Gabon, Congo, etc,) and then did a present value analysis for 157 years. It turns out that, because of the wage differentials between the US and African countries, each black owes non-blacks in the US just a little more than $640,000 each.
Those are the reparations that should be made. I just don't know where to go to sign up for my check.
HAHA
So are they going to tax the rich, ie their donors, to pay for this? Come on we know better that. They are just taxing the Middle Class out of existence paving the way for complete government control over citizens. The Democrats in DC aren’t far behind California looking at Kamala’s proposals.
I think it’s interesting that Lefty whiteys have the desire to give away taxpayers money to Blacks to do what? I mean, Blacks were better off socially, economically and spiritually before the Lefties started to “Champion their cause”. Now they are living in poverty, gangs control the neighborhoods, most are single families with several baby daddies, and they are killing each other at an alarming rate. Do they think giving them millions the politicians steal from the tax payers is going to change the damage the Lefties have done? Its just going to compound the people and make it worse.
Jim Crow 2.0 plans to turn whites into the underclass.
They already done the math, there is not enough money to do this. There was however enough money to create a commission to study the “problem”. I think the study will continue until either A) after the election, or B) they run out of money.
Sounds like the San Diego Supervisors found a way to whack the money for a bogus plan.
Money doesn’t move unless there is one when a hack is involved with it.
I trust no Federal money will be used for California reparations.
I’m in favor of slavery reparations. Any American who was a slave prior to 1865 deserves financial compensation.
When we were still viable in this state, huge Orange and San Diego Counties were our power bases. Now it’s come to this
Someday, someone will have to pay reparations to all the unaccompanied children being trafficked across our southern boarder. Maybe California should save their money for the slavery California shares responsibility for causing...
Reparations are blatantly unconstitutional.
Kamala Harris’s family owned slaves. Let her pay their descendants.
