Looks like I'll be moving to California, seeing as how I identify as black.

I absolutely have no problem with this, as long as it's only California state taxes that fund it.

You should have a problem, seeing as how they'll beg the federal government for funding to make up the shortfall. Funding that all of us will pay for.

They will then need more federal dollars for other things that state taxes funded

Federal dollars should be 100% stopped

The law creates a nine-member task force to come up with proposals


I don't think in my entire lifetime a nine-member committee formed to come up with proposals has ever yielded any action on anything.

There are so many logistical issues that this will never become a reality beyond the advisory committee is going to get paid as a slush fund



I think they know it too.

Getting temporary political points and getting friends paid.

Nothing will happen.

Someone get the feathers. I'll start heating up the tar.

I don't even have words to describe my disgust with the governor.

100% chance that if Biden wins they will pass reparations in his first term and they will not be cheap. Make fun of California all you want, but what happens there will end up as national policy with the demons in charge. This is not good for the country.

How about the two deputies shot by a black guy? Do they get any reparations?

So how does one qualify as being black.
What if your DNA 2%. Under Jim Crow you are a black person.
