The 1,100-page report identifies ways to calculate monetary reparations to redress “how enslavement and its enduring legacy of systemic racism cemented structural inequality.”
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California’s highly anticipated reparations report, released Thursday, outlines how Black Californians can receive monetary compensation for the harms of slavery and systemic racism.
The task force proposed more than 100 statewide policies to address generations of discrimination and racial disparities. Still, the report does not issue a concrete dollar amount owed to people "who are able to demonstrate that they are the descendant of either an enslaved African American in the United States, or a free African American living in the United States prior to 1900."
This final report follows a 500-page interim report released last year that detailed the legacy of slavery on California’s Black residents. That report was a scathing indictment of the ways the state was complicit in, and at times an active leader of, “innumerable harms” against the Black community.
The document released Thursday, coming in at nearly 1,100 pages, offers a comprehensive look at ways the U.S. and California wronged descendants of enslaved Black people through racial terror, political disenfranchisement, unequal housing and educational opportunities, and environmental racism, among other harms. It also offers suggestions for issuing a formal apology and implementing a curriculum based on the task force’s findings.
Here are the key takeaways from the California reparations report.

As much as there is in the treasury.

At one time the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (the Beatles one) wanted to help black youths by setting up elaborate night basketball at lighted newly built playgrounds in dozens of cities across the country as an outlet for non-crime energy.
His aide said: “This plan is going to cost millions of dollars. Where is the money going to come from?”
The Maharishi replied calmly:
“From wherever it is now.”
“It’s my money, and I want it now.”
I guess she needs to talk to J.G. Wentworth now.
$9,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,,000,000.00 should be enough to start. With as much or more due each succeeding week on Monday morning.
“All men are by nature free and independent, and have certain inalienable rights, among
which are those of enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting
property: and pursuing and obtaining safety and happiness.”
California’s constitution of 1949.
California was never a slave state.
During the Civil War, California was a Union State. It suppressed Confederate sympathizers within, defended the New Mexico territory (from Texas), and guarded the routes to the east. Thirteen regiments of volunteers were raised from California during the Civil War to secure the state and the west.
Yes, there was discrimination in California based on race, both in law and genteel, but this discrimination also affected Mexican, indigenous and Asian people, among others; and, the degree of discrimination against blacks wasn’t as bad as in certain other places. Comparatively, California was an oasis of fair treatment, which is a big reason so many blacks relocated to California.
As to when ghettos took hold in California, along with crime, the breakdown of the black family, welfare dependency and drug addiction, there were many causes, but the single most evil cause was the liberalization of welfare during LBJ’s Great Society. It will take a revival of morality to address the real problems facing blacks and increasingly all Americans.
excuse me, California’s constitution of 1849 (not 1949)
I would propose that if this ever comes to pass, acceptance of any reparation payment should make the recipient ineligible for any future welfare payments. The individual would have to choose between welfare or reparations, but not both.
Will they put it to a vote to increase everyone’s taxes by 500 or 600 % ? LOL
California is bankrupt thanks to Greasy NewScum & his malevolent, corrupt cohorts in the California Assembly. No $$ to even pay the state’s bills so good luck to reparations.
Another reality in CA is that Newscum’s homeless have taken over California, however, not where the POS Greasy lives or his malevolent, corrupt, treasonous Aunt Vodka Nanzi.
