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

'$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."
'$5 million is too little:' Activists call for California to pony up more in reparations
The demands were made at an in-person meeting of the California Reparations Task Force, which was created by state legislation signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2020. The committee was hearing comments from the public as it considers final recommendations to submit to the California Legislature, which will then decide whether to implement the measures and send them to Newsom's desk to be signed into law.

"I believe that 5 million in reparations is too little for the work that foundational Black Americans have done for this country and as well for other countries," one speaker said. "I believe that 7.6 million [dollars] is a number that can be used very wisely in our foundational Black American communities."

No amount of money will EVER be enough! As my Dad use say, There ain't enough dirt to fill up that hole!
I wonder how many more black residents California will have in the next months to come?

I guarantee the only reason this is being considered is because they believe they can get the federal government to pay for it somehow.

Time to cut off federal dollars to California. Clearly they have way more money than they can possibly ever need.

There were thousands of black slave owners so will they paying some of the reparations. What about the African tribes that originated the slave trade by enslaving other tribes. If we are going to pay reparations to anyone should we start with the Cherokee (yes I'm part Cherokee so I think we should start there )

Can someone just go ahead and call these idiots out? I guess the others are too afraid to say how stupid this is for fear of not getting elected.

Of course the feds will pay for this. In a year or two it will be buried in some random bill and most Americans will never know about it.

Subtract the $$$ Trillions paid since the 1960's for welfare, food stamps, healthcare, housing, etc, etc and all of a sudden, $5M seems way to high.
