But they will have all moved to California and won’t be able to afford to return. Win-Win.

If you are being real, you are really a dumb mfer. Let’s talk about buying votes. This country is upside down. We need change fast. We as a country have given away enough money last two years.

Since i don't live in california it doesn't really affect me. states rights and all.

If it works out super well other states may adopt it. if it fails it won't get traction. hell it may not even get traction in california. Seems like they're also not necessarily talking just cash handouts.

I'm not sure if reparations is the answer. There's been a lot of bad shite happen to a lot of bad people throughout history. But that's easy to say as a cherokee whose tribe gets money and a moat around their money making sources thanks to treaties and contracts with the state and federal governments.

this is insane. the homeless get 100,000 and use it for drugs. a baby ODed on fentanyl.

and McCarthy is worried about a railroad union workers bill. didn't they just bail out the railroads?

people are considering Newsome for full idiocy as President.

somebody stop Biden with removal & impeachment before we are all in camps. China is controlling our country.

Can we start up a go fund me to pay for airfare for individuals who would like to move west?

I’d hate for anybody to miss this opportunity to start over in sunny California because they couldn’t afford to get there.

I need reparations too. I am a victim of anti white male discrimination in a professional services industry position, and it has cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars. I'm not kidding. This isn't something that happened to some ancestor of mine 200 years ago to whom I'm barely related. This happened to me three years ago.

I want my reparations now.

Descendants of slaves in California


Since California was never a slave state, there are no descendents of “slaves in California”.

Perhaps Chinese Americans can make the claim that their ancestors were indentured servants in California, but California never recognized the right to own black slaves.

This is why I always roll my eyes when people say that we should not help Ukraine because "we should be spending money here in the USA on things".

There is no guarantee that if we stop spending on Ukraine (which is costing 1/10th of what this will cost) that the "not spend Ukraine money" will go to things like the border, veterans, etc. It will probably go do stuff like this (and keep in mind this is just one state out of 50 though granted it is a huge state).

Where do they come up with these numbers?

Conceptually, reparations serve as a settlement. Does this settlement have any terms?

Democrats are so damn stupid and this is a prime example. Sounds like a nice thing to do but in reality will solve nothing socially and cause more problems fiscally.

On 2nd thought, I'm for this.

Pay reparations NOW. The printing presses are already running 24/7. What's another trillion or two.

Send the checks, and from that point forward everyone who complains about the U.S. and racism has to SHUT THE HELL UP!!!

its gonna be hilarious when a white guy shows up with his ancestry.com family tree proving he is descended from Irish slaves.


Or African slaves. Lots of white people, especially in the South, have some African ancestry.

I mean it will only take them a few months to get it all back. Liquor store, big 40's,tennis shoe purchases and smoke and vape shop taxes will go through the roof.

This would honestly be one of the most entertaining social experiments I could possibly be witness to in my lifetime.

I completely agree with California. They need to pay these people immediately.
