Californians are weighing in publicly on the idea of reparations to Black Americans, with the state’s Reparations Task Force set to report their recommendations by July 1. This initiative builds on smaller-scale efforts, such as in my hometown of Evanston, Ill., which in 2021 became the first U.S. city to promise limited financial reparations for slavery and city-sanctioned discriminatory housing policies.
This racial wealth gap on its own makes a strong case for reparations. But it should be joined by an equally egregious and often less acknowledged health gap: In the U.S., Black lives are years shorter on average than white lives. And as with the wealth gap, racism is a key culprit.
Genetics don’t explain the huge racial health gap in America. However, the experience of being Black in America does. Specifically, decades of public health research shows that racism is a crucial factor. Racism makes day-to-day interactions more stressful and influences many other factors that affect disease, including healthcare quality and access, educational opportunities and neighborhood traits such as air quality, industrial pollutant exposure and access to healthy food.
Economists can tally the wealth gap between Black and white families created by centuries of racist policies in the U.S. The stark health inequities caused by systemic racism are harder to put a dollar value on, but they are another historic injustice that merits reparations. Material resources offered by reparations programs will help close the health gap, too. And the years lost from Black lives matter.

But here in America, it is blacks, with Hispanics doing their best to catch up.

If only it were so, but sadly it’s not. Haven’t you watched any video of the protestors and rioters and witnessed the MANY white men and women in those mobs? Even so, there are an increasing number of blacks, and they’re being programmed and financed by white left-wing radicals, Socialists, Communists and Fascists whose mission is to destroy our Constitutional Republic!
BULLCRAP!
Reparations .
Or people could get jobs.
Have they produced an all-black Survivor show yet?
You have nerve coming on here so late in the game. Get back to us when you have some time away from the bottle newb. So sick of newbies coming in to destroy free republic.
This racial wealth gap on its own makes a strong case for reparations. Just look at what happened when a man or women of color wins the lottery for millions, this is what will happen 9 times out of ten
How does black on black homicide affect that average?
We conservatives are missing a golden opportunity here.We should be advertising that Kalifornia is FreeMoneyLand.
Let's say Kalifornia is successful in their reparations quest to give one-drop-of-Amish a one-time $300,000 or $750,000 or $5 million or $11eleventy billion lofl.
We conservatives MUST frame it endlessly as a "positive development", advertise it from sophisticated targeted text/email messaging, all the way down to billboard advertising in every single red state ghetto.
The New California Gold Rush!
Move to California today to establish your place in line!
Were your ancestors slaves? You will receive $300,000 FREE MONEY before the end of 2023!
Limited-time offer so MOVE NOW!
- Millions of Eastern urban homeless blacks will invade the California metros to establish residency!
- The Black Gold Rush that will then descend upon Kalifornia will turn their top-3 metropolitan areas into unimaginably yuuuuge homeless camps, as the ferals established residency while awaiting 'muh reeferashuns check'.
- It will be the singular greatest calumny of peacetime civil anarchy in world history.
- Once the checks are paid and cashed, the hyperinflation that will strike the West Coast will make mid-80s Bolivia or pre-war Germany look like a Sunday church picnic.
- That hyperinflation will spread, particularly after the ferals realize many of the goods they seek are at the Port of Los Angeles docks.
- After martial law is briefly imposed, the riots are quelled, the freebooters expelled, in less than two years, everything. will. look. exactly. as. it was. before.
- Meaning the Amish will still be living in their ghettos -- but now in blue Kalifornia!; their Bentley's will have been stolen and sold overseas; and Kalifornia will declare bankruptcy between the costs of the giveaway and the collateral, unimaginable damage.
- Not only would this game-changer empty out the Detroit and Atlanta ghettos -- putting MI and GA back into the solid red column and thus ensuring GOP wins for another 20 years -- the criminal mishandling of Kalifornia's FreeMoneyLand giveaway will render Gruesome's future political hopes into ashes.
You have nerve coming on here so late in the game.
