Earlier this month, a nine-member state reparations task force met for the first time to study the consequences of slavery and systemic racism against African Americans in California. The state committee is planning to spend the first year studying the lasting impacts of slavery, while recommending how the state should make amends in its second year.

California was not a slave state. How about if we combat systemic stupidity

Racism is being used to divide our country, then to turn it communist, to which patriots will be the first to be eliminated. That is the ONLY reason for the elevation of Juneteenth, and the ensuing “racial justice” measures. Same reason why “White Supremacy” is the number one boogeyman in the world.

(It should be noted that once the patriots are eliminated, they will keep on moving up the totem pole taking out new out groups, including the very group used now, Black individuals. It’s the way of socialism.)

Bill Cherokee Nation, they held slaves until July 27, 1866.

What they probably need is a “Fix the Damn Potholes Coalition”.

Ahh, but California was previously part of Mexico, which did have slaves until 1829.

California was not a slave state.

I never hear this mentioned but most of the African-American politicians politicians pushing this in California are *NOT* California natives.

Take for example Shirley Weber, the California Secretary of State who pushed the reparations bill.She is a native of where?

Anyone, Anyone?

ARKANSAS!

How about Barbara Lee, D-Los Angeles who promotes this. Where is she a native of?

TEXAS!

Anyone whose ancestors were not in California prior to emancipation should get NOTHING! Go to Texas, Missouri or Arkansas and ask them for it!

Without systemic stupidity the Left would crumble into nonbeing.

In the past, California was not the nicest place for black people. At one time, there was a thriving community of black families in the city of San Francisco, but the people and the city of San Francisco took their property through eminent domain, and moved them all over to Oakland.

Reperations ? About time ! My ancestors fought on the Union side . Show me the money!

These people are complete F#CKING IDIOTS, California was NEVER A SLAVE STATE, and when blacks started coming here in the 40’s and 50’s they were treated better than anywhere else in the country.

CALIFORNIA WAS NEVER A RACIST STATE, and if ANY BODY in this state is a RACIST NOW, IT’S THE BLACKS!!!!

IF California owes any reparations to anybody, it would be the Chinese for their treatment in the 1840’s and up to the 20th century and the Japanese for their treatment in the 1940’s!

If this goes through, how much is anyone willing to bet that most, if not all the money will end up in the pockets of politicians and little to none actually going to the people?
