A task force was set up in California to make proposals for slavery reparations
Descendants of slaves in California could receive $223,200 each, it speculated
That would total $569billion - more than the entire state expenditure in 2021
Nearly 6.5% of California residents - 2.5M - identify as Black or African American
A focus of the task force has involved reimbursing for 'housing discrimination'
The task force was formed due to a bill signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2020
~ A reparations committee in California has suggested that descendants of slaves in the state could be compensated $223,200 each for 'housing discrimination'.
The nine-member Reparations Task Force was formed by California Governor Gavin Newsom as part of the country's largest ever effort to address reparations for slavery.
A focus of the California task force has been 'housing discrimination' - it has been estimated that it would cost around $569billion to compensate the 2.5 million Black Californians for setbacks between 1933 and 1977, according to the New York Times.
That is more than California's $512.8billion expenditure in 2021 - which included funding for schools, hospitals, universities, highways, policing and corrections.
However, discussions are still underway, and the panel is continuing to consider how payments should be made - some suggested tuition and housing grants while others proposed cash.
The task force has also identified four other causes for reparations: Mass incarceration, unjust property seizures, devaluation of Black businesses and health care.
It has until June 2023 to submit its final recommendations to the Legislature.
Their estimations came after the task force hosted meetings across the state to meet with members of Black communities to better understand the economic impact of slavery.

More than 600,000 dead is “reparation” enough.
I now identify as a black Californian, and if liberals deny it, I can get them charged with a hate crime!
now, where is my money?!?
Be a lot of joggers moving to California.
NOW would be a good time for The Big One, so Carnalfornia can tumble into the sea.
This could empty every city in the US … I like that
Fixed it
Be sure to distribute the money in cash on pallets, or in suitcases.
Does Elon Musk qualify?
He is from Africa.
That’s a new one for me. I haven’t been near an “urban area” in 20 years so I guess I’m behind on whazzup in da hood.
The early California settlers decimated the Native American population. When do those peoples descendants get paid?
WHY? California was a free state? No Slaves here—Mexico banned them in 1829. California sided with Lincoln to Free The slaves?
Honestly, I thought they’d pretty nearly lofted all the
f’d up ideas they could think of.
This isn’t going to be per family I’d imagine.
No, every family member would get their $223,000, no
matter what Newsom says up front.
This dog in pony show model has been seen many times out
here. Lie, and then when the plan is active, you find
out all the details. And you won’t like a one of them.
Jackass pandering punk.
Don’t give them ideas
Wonder where he’s going to get the money for that?
There should be a way for American citizens to NOT allow their money to be used for that. Or maybe white folks could sue the NAACP and other black organizations for shaming whitey?
the great black hope..................who is white
I hope that all the crybaby blacks move to California. As for the black Americans, I have no issue with them. They have shed the shadow of racism.
.....and a mule.
