Supporters of a federal effort to study reparations for Black Americans are closely watching an ongoing debate in California over how to address the wrongs of history and dismantle racist structures.

California is the first state in the nation to seriously consider some form of reparations for Black Americans. The California Reparations Task Force is made up of academics, lawyers, civil rights leaders, lawmakers and other experts convened by Gov. Gavin Newsom and is tasked with studying the state’s role in perpetuating the legacy of slavery. The task force is expected to recommend proposals to the Legislature by next year.

We have all paid reparations

And how is paying some one based on race not a racist structure?

Christians used to be fed to the lions way back when. Can the govt start up a reparations fund for that?

Let’s just give them more holidays. Since I began my career, I have 2 extra paid days off for the cause. I’ll take more if I need to further that cause.

California wasn't even a state until 1850 and likely had very few black residents until after the Civil War.

Weird flex.

Can this idiot please draw back the Liberal Progressive insanity just a bit? He’s starting to scare off the regular liberals to other states where they’ll just keep voting for the same liberal idiots and screw Conservative states up for the rest of us.

Given the history of California they probably should be giving reparations to the Chinese population

But don’t let that get in the way of their virtue signaling

I say give every black person 50k if we never have to hear another fricking word about racism and we get rid of minority programs and welfare.

If white guilt cucks like c on z and Tboy love black people so much, why are they not donating their salaries voluntarily to such a good cause?

Stop talking about it!
Let it GO!
No black person today deserves money because of what happened generations ago.
America needs to be worried about the present melt down of our society. Unbelievable.

If something like this were to pass, I wonder if it would be actual direct payments or it would be what Asheville, NC did by basically taking equal opportunity zones that already exist every where and labeling it reparations to make themselves feel better?

Blacks as a race have already greatly benefited from being American citizens. If it were not for Whites how many of them would survive? What percentage of the tax base do they actually contribute?

I wholeheartedly support California's efforts on this and would LOVE to see them implement it first. If you can't be a shining example, be a glaring warning. There's no way this ends well.

Can't wait for all the people whose families immigrated to the US after the Civil War realize they're on the hook for these political bribes, also.
