The California state assembly just passed a reparations bill to atone for slavery no one in California is responsible for and the money will be given to people who were never enslaved.
This is so wrong and won’t help, it will hurt race relations.
The vote passed by a 61 – 12 margin and now goes to the state Senate, where it will likely pass and to the Democrat governor who will likely sign it.
What is particularly ludicrous about this is that California entered the union in 1850 as a state where slavery was illegal, The Associated Press reported.
If the bill passes the Senate and is signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom, eight people with backgrounds in racial justice reforms (far-left lunatics) would lead a study into who would be eligible for compensation due to slavery and how it should be awarded.
Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, a far-left Democrat from San Diego who wrote the bill, said the study would reiterate California’s history of abetting slavery, even as it joined the union as a “free state” in 1850.
Of course, that is utter nonsense and it is soon coming to a state near you.
Democrats need to make black people into victims instead of self-sustaining achievers so they can keep them on the Democrat plantation.
Victimhood and identity politics is what the Democrats stand for and that is Marxism.
No one can atone for slavery and the horror that befell all those innocent people — no one. The damage was done and it’s time to move on. Black people are not victims.
Throwing money at people, saying you’re wrong for doing something you didn’t do is insane.

California wasn’t even a slave state. I wonder how many blacks with ancestry who were slaves would move here to get the payday. I just don’t get it. California doesn’t even have the money for this. I don’t know if my ancestors were slave owners, but even if they were, I am not responsible for that. What about the non-white people living in California? They have to pay also, because it comes out their taxes. Ridiculous!
It is people like Shirley Weber and Nancy Pelosi that are taking us down a horrific hole that may be a long time before we can recover and be the proud people of the United States of America again. As I see it, the Democrat will do anything to get votes, right or WRONG.
GO TRUMP!!!
My family came here from Northern Europe in the 1897. I don’t want my tax dollars going to anyone for something My family had nothing to do with. I dare say the Northern Army losses are the reparations.
History has been rewritten and taken out of the history books. The Irish were slaves before and during when the blacks were slaves. My family came from Ireland and also fought for the North to free our brothers and sisters and blacks too.

California still has Spanish and Mexican landgrant claims that were never properly adjudicated. Where’s my money!
And the Japanese-American property owners whose family’s farms and homes were taken for taxes while they were in gub’mnt camps? Where are their homes, land and other property?
A fruit and nuts state government where slavery was never sanctioned votes to give blacks who were never slaves payments. Liberalism is a mental disorder. smh
