A California lawmaker has unveiled plans for a 'Genealogy Office' to decide which residents are genuine descendants of slaves and could get life-changing benefits payouts.

Steven Bradford, a Democratic state Senator for LA County, proposed bill SB 1403 to create a controversial genealogy unit to 'confirm reparations eligibility' of applicants.

The state's first-in-the-nation reparations task force last year decided that some residents should win $1.2 million payouts as compensation for injustices from the slavery era onwards

Whoever passes the test and receives the reparation payment must get into FBI witness protection program.

I’m Jewish, so I am a descendant of slaves from the biblical era and the days of nazi Germany as well. What do I get, California?

if you live in china, the middle east and eastern Europe, you may be entitled to compensation. we are opening a class actions suit against Genghis khan and his descendents in china.

California wasn’t a slave state.

The genetic information will be used for reparations first, then cattle cars second.

Where do they get the blood from the slaves to check family history? Sounds like this will be the dead end-NOBODY qualifies.

Blacks will NEVER get reparations because the NEWCOMERS are going to get them. HA HA you blacks voted dem all this time for the promises they gave and they never followed through with 1 of them. Are you done voting with dems and AGAINST your own interest?

The original Nazis did similarly in Germany

Cairo. Munich. A toll booth on the Autobahn. The Sphinx concession.

Given California today, the answer is probably kicked out.

And idiotic. How else do you describe a state that never allowed slavery just taking money from people who never owned slaves and giving it to people who were never slaves.

Actually, I’m glad to see this. It’s gonna be the biggest pi$$ing and catfight contest in long time. Descendants of American slaves vs the entire 3rd world black and black-Hispanic denizens in this country.

Meanwhile, they’ll get nothing because we’ve got nothing to ‘repay’ them with.

My father’s mother was sold into slavery in Sweden in about 1896. She was probably six at the time. Her mother died and her father took her to a remote farm outside Philipstad. He received a payment in cash and went away. She lived in the farmer’s barn and took care of the animals. Most likely she was sexually assaulted. At some point she met a man, married and they immigrated to the United States.

But I am related to a genuine slave. I really think I should be compensated because...gibsmedat?

I wouldn’t say they’ll get nothing. John Conyers introduced a reparation bill each year in Congress. It went no where. It was viewed as foolishness.

Now, after the kenyan, floyd and blm, the discussion has moved much further than I’d imagined it would

The left never stops advancing.

the reparations list will be cross referenced first to the dna database of unsolved crimes.
