California lawmaker unveils 'Genealogy Office' to decide who's REALLY descended from slaves and wins reparations payouts

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

Wonder how many whites will suddenly find that “One drop of Negro Blood” in their past.

Now they can collect everyone’s DNA for a database to use for weapons based targeting of certain individuals or groups of individuals, and claim it is just to see if you desearve reparations.

Which Gene carries the “I’m owed money!” marker?

Does slavery cause modifications to DNA that can be located through testing?

Does it state how long a person was in servitude?

Does it show that a person was an indentured servant o pay for their fare to get to America? Is that a difference Gene than the involuntary servitude gene?

If you are descended from both slave owners and slaves, do you receive reparations or pay them?

Personally, I am fully willing to pay reparations to anyone who was ever my slave.

This is nuts.

What happens if someone was told via oral history that they were descended from slaves? Is that discounted because it is not verifiable?

Yes, great point. One drop rules were used to among other things, prosecute miscegenation. It wasn't until Loving v. Virginia that such rules were declared unconsitiutional.

23andMe tells a lot of whites that they have 0.1% or 0.2% Sub-Saharan ancestry. I think the results are very unreliable when dealing with such small percentages.

I have been researching my genealogy for several years now. It is amazing how many famous people you are related to if you go back far enough.

I have gone back over 500 years on several of my ancestry lines (1,000 years for one line) and have found that I have common ancestors with almost a dozen U.S. Presidents along with English and Scottish royalty. I also found out that my parents were 10th cousins (common ancestors 11 generations ago).

Let me guess, the Democrats are on the committee and get to decide who is a slave? Just like the Democrats are in charge now and deciding that only conservatives get arrested.

Sounds like Nazi Germany, Soviet Union or Communist China or a bunch of other dictator nations.

"23andMe tells a lot of whites that they have 0.1% or 0.2% Sub-Saharan ancestry. I think the results are very unreliable when dealing with such small percentages."
I have slave ancestry. One of my great grandmother was the daughter of a house slave that had become so white over the generations that she was passed off as a cousin and provided a large enough dowry that she was attractive to second sons of planters who were landless due to the primogeniture laws at the time. Her dowry included about 90 acres farmland, a large house and six slaves, one of them was her half sister and companion. Great grandmother died before the Civil War, but her half sister lived into the 20th Century and was given a house and maintained. Her children had been sent to the north and trained for the clergy. She lived with them for awhile, but asked to come back.

That just sounds scary

I don't think so. I've been saying they should check instead of giving money to all blacks, some of whom have ancestors who owned slaves, and blacks whose families moved here after slavery.

Imagine every 3rd or 4th house on a block in the ghetto getting money. The rest will riot.

How about descendants of Union Civil War veterans be exempted from paying for the reparations.

Kamala Harris did not have kids-Gracias a Dios-the ones she poses with in “family” photos are her husband’s from a previous marriage. She is their stepmonster...

Half the residents in LA County are now Mexicans. Can’t wait to watch these white Marxist hags running LA going to Mexicans and telling them to pay reparations to blacks.

She has no other ancestry here since her father is from Jamaica...

According to an article written by Kamala Harris' father, he claims that Hamilton Brown was an ancestor of his, and was a slave owner in Jamaica in the 18th century.

Snopes, of course, says this is "unproven", but doesn't say it is false, which means it must be true.

“Half the residents in LA County are now Mexicans”

Isn’t it wonderful that so many Americans died to secure that lovely land next to the ocean for the benefit of tje descendants of the Aztec murderers and the Spanish Inquisitionists?

How altruistic of us.

“How altruistic of us.”

The demographic change in LA County raises a number of questions. For example, what happened to nearly a million black folks who used to live in LA County? Take Watts. It was nearly 100% black. Now it’s about 80% Mexican.

Nobody, especially the fascist media, is curious about that. I am, though. Did the Mexicans racially cleanse LA? If true, then the fascist press has covered up one of the biggest stories of the early 21st century. Why would they do that?

Further, if the Mexican demographic number continues to increase, I’m predicting the collapse of the white power structure in LA County and finally the state itself.

May you live in interesting times....

I have had exactly the same thoughts and the same conclusions.

I think what happened is that the Sureno/Norteno gangs muscled virtually all the black gangs out of Watts/Compton and the remaining people went to Inglewood and East to Riverside where they spread out, not concentrated like Watts and Compton were.

White Leftist media doesn’t want to talk about such uncomfortable realities...like the fact that Los Invaders are as raciss as the Evil Whiteys.
