California reparations bill on licensing unconstitutional say critics
California requires licenses for a wide variety of professions, ranging from manicurists to doctors.
(The Center Square) - A California reparations bill prioritizing black applicants in state professional licensing is likely unconstitutional and violates the U.S. Constitution’s equal protections clause under the 14th Amendment, says the Pacific Legal Foundation.
AB 2862, authored by Assemblymember Mike Gipson, D-Carson, would “require boards to prioritize African American applicants seeking licenses under these provisions, especially applicants who are descended from a person enslaved in the United States.” The bill was introduced in February as a broader package of reparations for Black Californians, a package that did not include direct cash payments.
Gipson's office did not respond to requests for comment by time of publication.
California requires licenses for a wide variety of professions, ranging from manicurists to doctors. According to the Institute for Justice, one out of six Californians must hold an occupational license in the state to legally work, and low and moderate-income workers are most affected by licensing requirements.

If I’m any normal black American in this country I’m embarrassed by how many in my culture continue to ask for handouts and extra opportunities that others aren’t given.
It’s quite embarrassing or should be for them.
Survival of the fittest I’ll always believe in and the current opportunities are plentiful if you want to do the work and are intelligent enough for positions of need.
This continued patronizing would personally make me mad at the rest of my people and my community if I were black today.
It’s really not helping them.

Unconstitutional you say?
That lil ole Constitution thingy, that was written by old, slave owning white men, (even though they were 30ish, at the time), seems to have lost its core relevance in these modern times.
Almost like we don't even have one that any of our "leaders" care about. And most, if not all, have probably never even read.

Look at that dudes face. Got soy written all over it. Every one of these progressive males look the same. Mouth wide open when they smile. Like they're just waiting for someone to gag them. Liberalism is a mental illness

I just think most of the black communities problems are their aren’t enough leaders amongst them willing to stand up and speak out about how badly this continues to hold them back, rather than it helping them.
