Maybe they should base reparations not only on whether their ancestors were actually slave but also on how much they have contribute to making this Republic better. Don’t get me wrong. I believe there are many blacks that have put on police and military uniforms and put their lives in danger and have lost their lives in that service but have been mostly ignored by the government they have served. I believe California is just following the Democrats plan to tax the middle class out of existence, disarm law abiding citizens of all assault weapons aka any semiautomatic weapon and establish their long sought after socialist “Republic’.
Now, if your ancestors were victims of “Red Lining”, and can demonstrate the difference in wealth that the Red Lining cost, then you have a case.
