re: California reparations committee will recommend handing out $223,200 to slave descendants

To all New Orleanians, feets don’t fail me now !!!

People will leave California in droves if this gets pushed through.

A good idea would be spending the money on setting them up on flights back to Africa. They can use the rest of the money for housing to be constructed there. Only seems right that they get out of this place they can’t stand and back to their homeland.

Descendants of slaves in California could receive $223,200 each, it speculated

What's the over/under on the number of days for the majority of people to spend that $223K on depreciating assets like cars, clothes and jewelry? I'm setting it at 45 days and I'll take the under.

slave (n.)
late 13c., "person who is the chattel or property of another," from Old French esclave (13c.), from Medieval Latin Sclavus "slave" (source also of Italian schiavo, French esclave, Spanish esclavo), originally "Slav" (see Slav); so used in this secondary sense because of the many Slavs sold into slavery by conquering peoples.

The oldest written history of the Slavs can be shortly summarised--myriads of slave hunts and the enthralment of entire peoples. The Slav was the most prized of human goods. With increased strength outside his marshy land of origin, hardened to the utmost against all privation, industrious, content with little, good-humoured, and cheerful, he filled the slave markets of Europe, Asia, and Africa. It must be remembered that for every Slavonic slave who reached his destination, at least ten succumbed to inhuman treatment during transport and to the heat of the climate. Indeed Ibrahim (tenth century), himself in all probability a slave dealer, says: "And the Slavs cannot travel to Lombardy on account of the heat which is fatal to them." Hence their high price.
The Arabian geographer of the ninth century tells us how the Magyars in the Pontus steppe dominated all the Slavs dwelling near them. The Magyars made raids upon the Slavs and took their prisoners along the coast to Kerkh where the Byzantines came to meet them and gave Greek brocades and such wares in exchange for the prisoners. ["The Cambridge Medieval History," Vol. II, 1913]



They better be careful not to discriminate against the diverse slaves throughout history…

…

How do you IDENTIFY as Black?

Cali still has black people?

But california was never a slave state.
