'$5 million is too little:' Activists tell California reparations committee to aim higher

Activists on Wednesday demanded that the state of California pay millions of dollars to each Black resident in reparations as a way to make amends for slavery and subsequent discrimination, dismissing the idea of payments of $5 million per person as "nothing" and "too little."

I need one of those as I just ran out of half-and-half and need another quart.

Well done, B.o.B.!

Irish slavery in the ‘New World’ PRECEDED African slavery in the New World. James II, Charles I, and Oliver Cromwell sold 10s of thousands of Irish into the New World.

Irish slaves were far cheaper than African slaves. As such, an owner could abuse or outright kill an Irish slave with very little economic damage.

So if we’re talking reparations, I think perhaps we should start with the OGs first.

And since my ancestors were much less expensive than my African brothers in slavery, I’ll settle for $2,000,000.

Why not just take all of Whitey’s money and give it to non-Whitey? That’s where this is heading.
And they they can kill Whitey, as they have been wanting to do for a long time.

Problem is, the Asians, who are smart and hard working, will not put up with being saddled with the entire burden of working and earning money to pay for an out-of-control and insane government program.

With no one left to seize assets from, this government program will fail as they all do.

Well then, we’ll just give them eleventy-skadillion dollas.

Each.

And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.

California needs dams to hold all this rain water not reparations in a state that was a free state and slavery was always illegal.

[Bob434]

Yep. Tony Blair warned that creating welfare situations means never being able to be rid of the gimmedats demanding more and more, and howling ,ike rabid animals if denied. (that was the basic message, not the actual words lol)

This is why people need to own and be proficient with AR-15s and other weapons for different distances. ARS are great up to 100 meters, but when it comes to close contact you need a shotgun a large caliber pistol.

GIVE THEM MONOPOLY MONEY & A BUS TICKET TO PORTLAND OR SEATTLE

[RFEngineer]

Can you really put a pricetag on the value of such diversity?

Can you really put a pricetag on the grave injustice they have suffered?

Can you really put a limit on the sacrifice required by all others to compensate these victims?

There should be no artificial bounds placed on the level, duration, frequency, and price of the compensation they should receive.

How dare you think otherwise.

[XRdsRev]

Millions of dollars per person Reparations will never be paid. It will just become in some minds, another way that whites cheated blacks. Democrats will run in every election going forward telling blacks that Republicans are the ones stopping this payout and that voting democrat is the only hope they ever have of getting this money.

[ridesthemiles]

WHO do you think should be ELIGIBLE for ANY money???

[ridesthemiles]

FUNDING THE CARTELS-—NOTHING MORE

[BikerJoe]

the “gimmedat you racist white honkeys!” Crowd

I believe it was either the late, great Rush Limbaugh, or P.J. O'Roarke, who called ALL such people, regardless of race, the "Perpetually aggrieved". You NEVER give in to them, because they will NEVER be satisfied, it'll just be more and more and more demands, forever. You have to nip it in the bud.

ZIMBABWE was one of the highest PRODUCING countries in Africa.

Then, the blacks were encouraged to KILL the white farm owners-—or run them off-—and TAKE the farms for themselves-—Many farmers were killed—others left. The DUTCH had built up those farms for GENERATIONS.

IN a few months-—There was no production on those farms-—Workers couldn’t run them.

ZIMBABWE WAS producing so much that they EXPORTED over 90% of all that to other countries..

TODAY-—after killing the farmers & being unable to produce anything-— ZIMBABWE IMPORTS 93% of everything they use every single day.

Cannot create something that isn’t there.

[Codeflier]

Nobody. Why?

[Bob434]

Yup. And another saying about liberals is that they are “perpetually outraged “, which is true. Practically all They do is motivated by outrage, and a desire to ruin things for everyone but themse,ves

Rope and trees are the solution to the inequality problem as noted in the paper on anti-American coup perpetuating west coast groups
