Gavin Newsom’s reparations committee is winding down and will recommend handing out $223,200 per person to all descendants of slaves in California for “housing discrimination.”
They estimate the cost of this absurd idea at $569 billion. That’s more than the entire state expenditure in 2021.
That is more than California’s $ 512.8 billion expenditure in 2021. That expenditure included funding for schools, hospitals, universities, highways, policing, and corrections.
California didn’t even have slavery.
Nearly 6.5% of California residents, or 2.5 million, are Black or African American.
A bill signed by Gavin Newsom in 2020 allowed this extremism. The idea comes out of Pan-African Marxism.
It’s insane to make people who never had slaves pay restitution to people who were never slaves.
The task force has also identified four other causes for reparations: Mass incarceration, unjust property seizures, devaluation of Black businesses, and health care.
Mass incarceration is because they are committing the crimes. As for health care, that’s a lie. In the case of all four, the people who would have to pay up didn’t do anything to hurt the people who would receive the benefits and didn’t earn it.
The panel doesn’t know if they will give cash, housing, or tuition.
After a task force meeting in September, Newsom vetoed a bill that would have extended the committee’s life.
“[The bill which would extend] is a betrayal of Black Americans,” said Tiffany Quarles, a member of the audience during one hearing, CalMatters reported. “We’ve been waiting for 400 years. We do not need an extension.”
They’ve been waiting 400 years? They’re older than they look.
This is just ridiculous. Slavery lasted from 1776 to 1865. The country didn’t exist before 1776. Most nations had slavery. This is a complete fraud. It’s leftist wealth redistribution.
The U.S. is simply on a suicidal path. We don’t have the money to fund all ideas the far-far-left Democrats have.
that’s just the first payment …. the panel composed of black people debating about whether black people should receive cash money payments from white people will have more to say soon
A Civil War will strengthen out Democrats – AGAIN! Gavin Newsom is just trying to get Blacks back on the plantation again with the “promise” of more free stuff.
how bout the scot sugar slaves? skin color?
Not a word about the women and kids enslaved by black pimps since forever.
Take note of the fact that Gavin Newsom is no “humanitarian”. No such sincere person wears blak-face paint to ridicule and mock others.
A one-way ticket back to Africa would be far cheaper .
Ok. And after the current crop of blacks squanders this money, will the next demand their share also? What a farce. These people were never slaves. In fact, they have grown up under the greatest government largesse in history.
Anyone who has been a slave SHOULD get reparations . . .
I am Jewish, I am the descendant of slaves, I want $223,000 too! Complete BS!
I am a black, jew, transgender lesbian who identifies as a gay man. My pronouns are show, me, and the money.
Attention! You never picked cotton and I never owned slaves. Get over yourselves. You don’t see Jews destroying the great pyramids because they were built by slaves.
Jews were never anywhere near the pyramids. They didn’t even exist until well after the Babylonian captivity. Frauds, one and all.
So you get nearly $2,000 for being one of the offended 130 genders and now a huge chunk of change for being black. Now if you’re a black offended gender do you get double pay??
Can you just click your heels three times while saying, “I am black, I am black, I am black” and that’s it? You’re good to go for the $$$$?
I qualify for reparations! I may look white, but I’m just as black as Liz Warren is a Native American. She has high cheekbones, and I have a wide nose.
Why don’t you just force us white people to give over our homes and go live in the vacant homes of the black community. South Africa is coming fast.
Just leave…why in Gods name would you remain? As the blacks were slaves everywhere…until the whites freed them you might think you were due a little gratitude….1st the British, then the French and then America…and we actually fought wars world wide and many white people were killed fighting against slave traders internationally…no thanks or gratitude….?
If you are a white conservative living in CA I have little sympathy, do you think the situation will suddenly change?
What they are doing is in effect no better than the Nazis stealing the homes and wealth of the Jews. And it will only get worse while you allow them to fleece you.
Lets see how they get on when there is no white money to steal. Much like Detroit I guess…
Their countries of origin should be made to ‘ante up’…the fools that are wont to fool you glibly omit to remind you that the ‘slavers’ bought them from their OWN people…and that some noted ‘slave owners’ WERE black…
Not while I can say PURGE!
