The California state task force on reparations for Black residents voted on March 22 to limit eligibility to individuals whose lineage could be traced to enslavement in America. While this first-in-the-nation task force hotly debated the issue, more important is that it was impaneled by Gov. Gavin Newsome to study and develop reparation proposals. While many look toward California, awaiting its findings and conclusions, Gov. Jay Inslee, who’s been out in front on many issues of racial equity, should not wait. He should impanel a similar reparations task force, with similar objectives in Washington state.

California and Washington were not slave states. Why are they discussing repartations?

[Altura Ct.]

Just say no.

[SamAdams76]

No white man alive in America today ever owned a slave and no black man alive in America today ever picked cotton.

Enough with this nonsense.

[HighSierra5]

It would be the biggest shakedown in history.

[Sicon]

The non-POC won’t be able to move out of Californistan fast enough once this reparations crap gets rolling.

My grandfather was a slave in the coal mines, and was killed there at age 34. My hand is OUT, waiting for mah check!!

[FlingWingFlyer]

They never did anything to deserve “reparations”. They can go take a flying leap at a rolling donut.

[beethovenfan]

Because they’re led by progressive morons.

California and Washington were not slave states. Why are they discussing repartations?

America has reached peak progressivism, entitlement and virtue-signaling, paid for by massive debt and printed money.

What it changes into next - collapse and freedom / or hard and brutal tyranny, is unknown.

Reparations to which slaves? Haven’t met any for quite a while. Shove it, liberals. Reparate all you want. On your money. The rest of us have real work to do.

[Bon of Babble]

Why? Because California and Washington state were such huge slave states?

Reparations were paid in the form of 600,000 + White lives lost during the WBTS.

[HighSierra5]

Some of my ancestors were involved in the underground railroad. None ever owned slaves. I should get a credit or exemption.

[IC Ken]

NO Republican ever owned a slave.

[alstewartfan]

Are you calling Oprah a “rolling doughnut”?

[bert]

The first syop on the road map must be cumpulsary DNA tests.

Any tested person with non African genes gets no reparations.

Theos who receive the reparations must be branded so as to deter double dipping

[FlingWingFlyer]

LOL.

[Beagle8U]

Great! Time to unload the whole population of Detoilet on CA!

CA needs a bigger black problem to go with the mexican problem.

[alstewartfan]

Shocking but true Ken, per the great Danesh D’Souza.

[HighSierra5]

And none were confederates.

Here’s a road map... A non-refundable one way ticket back to Africa. Period!
