California pushes for $360,000 per person in reparations despite major deficit

The state-endorsed California Reparations Task Force is pushing to give every black resident $360,000 in reparations despite a major budget deficit.

In 2020, the United States Census Bureau recorded approximately 2.251 million black people residing in California, of whom 1.8 million had at least one ancestor who was a slave, Fox News reported, making the total reparations cost around $640 billion. It is unknown where the state will come up with the funds, however, as Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) reported that California is facing a budget deficit of $22.5 billion for this coming fiscal year.

Chas Alamo, the state's Legislative Analyst's Office's principal fiscal and policy analyst, appeared at the Reparation Task Force's second in-person meeting, in which he proposed further steps that could be taken to fulfill the reparations plan. He proposed several different paths the task force could take to make reparations state law, including the creation of a new agency that would oversee the dispensation of reparations.

California should be giving reparations to Chinese people living in California for the slave labor building railroads.

This is a very sad attempt by Newsome showing Black people if you vote for me to be president, I will bring you reparations nationally.

Definition of Reparations - government forcing those who have never owned slaves to pay money to those who have never been slaves.

White progs literally believe black folks are too dumb to survive by themselves, without white saviors to help.

Or the Japanese for the WWII camps they put them in. California never enslaved brown/black people. They enslaved the hell out of some Asians though.....

How can it be any more racist than claiming giving this money to black children would stop them from stealing and robbing?

All of this talk. San Francisco is “discussing”. Los Angeles is “discussing”. San Diego is “discussing”. California is “discussing”.

Come on California!! Act!!! Do it!! If it’s too little…. Consider this payment and interim payment. Stop “discussing” and act.

I mean… surely this isn’t a genie that those idiots let out and cannot get back in. Surely their virtue signaling for votes hasn’t left them in a paradox.

Suuuuurely they are genuine and not trying to just push it down the road. Suuuuurely not.

In a state full of bleeding heart, virtue signaling, white guilt liberals?? How do they not have an excess of funds for this?? Surely the white guilt liberals are lining up to hand cash over.

Just make all the bleeding heart democrat true racist give up their homes to black people in place of reparations being paid by people that never owned slaves. Let’s see how fast their minds change

That's almost $17,000 for every man, woman, and child living in CA. Plus, the poor pay very little in taxes, so the burden is going primarily to the rich and upper middle class. If I were a Californian with money, I'd GTFO with a quickness.

$640 billion? Their state revenue is just over $200 billion. They going to stop spending for 3+ years?

Wait until they see how pissed people get when the taxes are taken out of that. Oh, and it should have been capped at 350,000.

Good.

Because California was the worst slave state in the Confederacy.

If he has a "D" next to his name, he is getting their vote anyway. I would just save the money if I were him.

Just as stupid as the city of Asheville spending a million or so on a reparations study. The census of 1860 showed just 820 men, women and children living in Asheville.

Let's say 20 percent owned slaves, that's about 170 slaves, if that many since Asheville was primarily a trading post until after the war.

As others have pointed out, CA owes Asians, primarily Chinese, for their enslavement in the 1800s.
