California reparations task force meetings descends into chaos after failing to pinpoint number to pay black residents: 'It's time for a divorce!'
During the final Reparations Task Force meeting in California, those present demanded immediate reparations from the board, causing a disturbance
Some called for immediate action, while another suggested a metaphorical 'divorce' between black Americans and the rest of the country
The task force had previously recommended potential payments of up to $1.2 million for qualifying black Californians
A final meeting of the Reparations Task Force meeting held by the California Department of Justice descended into chaos as members of the public lined up to have their say and demanded payments be made immediately.
Some of those attending caused a disturbance during the public comment section, demanding reparations from the board.
Several individuals became extremely passionate as they made their views known expressing their desire for reparations, shouting into the microphone that the time for restitution is 'now!'
------------------------------------------------
'This reparations task force, I appreciate y'all. But you all opened up a whole can of worms. I'm going to tell you this. Reparations is about repair. To me, I qualify. I'm going to tell you how you repair this,' said one black man present, Reggie Romaine.
'First of all America, from the evidence that they gave us, you're guilty,' he said.
'In 1619 we was eating fool food! You kidnapped us! Put a hate crime on us! That's the first one. Now you came here with all the other atrocities. When you brought us here, you raped our men, women, and kids. So therefore, you married us!
'Don't treat us like no cheap piece of meat! So therefore, our last name's 'American!' So now's the time for a divorce! What do you get in divorce? You get half the money, half the land, alimony, child support, attorney fees, and everything else! So that's what we want!'

Now they want to have the right to the land before the Native Americans. What gives them the right? Is it because the Natives were defeated and lost their rights to claiming what was their land? I would think the same applies to them as they were captured by their enemies and then sold. They lost just like the Natives. No claims from the losers. Spoils go to the victor's.

Yep, that is definitely where this is headed. The violence that will eventually erupt over reparations may actually lead to civil
Uprise in the US.

Gavin McInnes and Anthony Cumia recently said they would tattoo "WRONG" across their faces and eat fresh roadkill if reparations lead to a utopia where crime rates go down and schools get better.
It appears they won't have to fulfill that promise any time soon.
