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

Sure, send a bill to the Roman Empire, which definitely still exists, just like the federal government of the United States.

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

This was already done for the Japanese in this country in 1988

The admission of Texas (1845) and the acquisition of the vast new Mexican Cession territories (1848), after the Mexican–American War, created further North-South conflict. Although the settled portion of Texas was an area rich in cotton plantations and dependent on slave labor, the territory acquired in the Mountain West did not seem hospitable to cotton or slavery.[9]

As part of the Compromise of 1850, California was admitted as a free state without a slave state pair; California's admission also meant there would be no slave state on the Pacific Ocean. To avoid creating a free state majority in the Senate, California agreed to send one pro-slavery and one anti-slavery senator to Congress.[10]

Do you really think the intellectually challenged will care?

All they will see is free money, that will be wasted...

Uncle Brndon will have to give them the money because Cali is broke. They have no money, and beg the fed for money for each new social program they want to implement.

Do you really wonder why? What makes you special enough to deserve reparations? What have Whites already paid you for the short period of time slavery was allowed in America well before there were 50 states? Were you directly affected negatively by slavery? What about the Irish slaves? In fact the people brought here by the British in effect were all slaves. Why do you want something you neither deserve or earned?

This is definitely a unique strategy to increase your African American population. You will have poor people from all over the country moving to California for the promise of free money.

They already get reparations. It's called EBT

I thought reparations were supposed to be for damages caused from the time of slavery? California wasn't even a state at that time? WTF. Another reason why people will flee that garbage welfare state

California isn’t the federal government and I think They were a free state too.
