'I wholeheartedly support reparations and I think everyone should'

Sacramento mayor to reparations task force: 'I wholeheartedly support reparations and I think everyone should'
California's task force on reparations met for its second in-person public meeting on Saturday after members proposed paying $360,000 to Black Californians
California's reparations task force held its second in-person meeting on Saturday, where members of the public were allowed to give comments as the state legislature considers whether to implement a reparations program for descendants of Black slaves, and what that program would look like.
Hundreds of passionate people spoke in the two meetings on Friday and Saturday, voicing their support for cash payments to Black Americans, or grants of land or other compensation. Some called for a renewed Freedmen's Bureau — referring to the Reconstruction-era federal agency Congress tasked with providing food, medical aid, clothing and other needs to newly freed slaves and helping them find jobs.
Sacramento Democratic Mayor Darrell Steinberg was among those who spoke Saturday, declaring his wholehearted support for reparations.
-----------------------------------------
One proposal floated Friday was to give every Black citizen in the state a $360,000 check, which could cost the state government as much as $640 billion. There are approximately 1.8 million African-Americans living in California.

California should do this... They should advertise they are going to do this for a couple of years before they do it...

Because in the end the federal government will bail them out.

I fully support a state’s right to attempt this. Will be a grand social experiment.
The legal challenges alone will be interesting

Yet another example of this eternal truth:

Have none of these people read the children’s book if you give a mouse a cookie?
The only reparations should be a one way plane ticket to Africa coupled with loss of US citizenship

Who is alive in the USA that has ever owned slaves? Who is alive in the USA that was ever a slave?

It'll be within a year because a lot of that money will be spent within the first week of getting it.

And only pay in installment as long as they are residents of Cali!

So they really can go broke then get bailed out by the Federal gov't, meaning "the rest of us"?

If it was guaranteed that only funds from that state could be used for it, then sure.
But there is zero percent chance that federal dollars don't wind up involved in this.
