Can we put in a provision that if they or any of their direct ancestors has committed ANY violent crime then they are ineligible.

For sure many probably don’t know their lineage beyond three generations. Going to be an epic shite show

Wouldn't the application for reparations require the black person to identify themselves? If so, wouldn't the ID requirement be racist?


And if blacks can’t even manage to get an ID, as we’re told, how in the hell would they be able to come up with 150+ years of documentation of their family tree.

They’ll pick a random percentage you have to meet, like 3/5, and nobody will get the coincidence.

I'll bet the proof is checked as closely as voter registrations.

Pretty shrewd move by Cali. Give away billions in reparations, then get the FedGov to give them a grant to cover it.

I wholeheartedly endorse this proposal and hope for the reparations to be generous, plentiful, and require remaining in the state of California.

This could back fire if all the blacks move to California.

If all my ancestors immigrated to the US after slavery (which they did by the way) can I skip paying the portion of my state taxes that is paying for reparations?

What if you're white and have an enslaved person in the woodpile?

Read the text.

1.) You have to be black. Whites need not apply.

2.) You're ancestor doesn't even have to be a slave. You can be the decent of a free black from the 1800s and still qualify.

Reparations eligibility will be based on lineage “determined by an individual being an African American descendant of a chattel enslaved person or the descendant of a free Black person living in the US prior to the end of the 19th century"

Some Irish guy will be able to do it, I’m sure.

Hell, find a Filipino maid who worked for a Saudi family and she will qualify based on stories that circulate.
