I am 100% for giving them every single penny they deserve. Everything required for us to repair society in fact. I just don’t think they’re going to like that math.

California wasn't a slave state. Totally ignorant.

They should call it the "Drive the Rich Out" bill. Nobody in a high income bracket is going to stick around for that bullshite if they're capable of moving.

If I was black I’d definitely move out calee-fornee way. Heard they got a whole mess’a reparations out there. Reparations as far as the eye can see!

It's going to come as government funding to projects spearheaded by politically connected people. Shifting a frickton of public dollars into a few private hands and declaring it progress.

Same as the Homeless Industrial Complex. They pat themselves on the back over how much they spend on homeless programs, but no homeless ever get helped and powerful pockets get lined.

I hope California cuts large checks to all black people living there.

Then the mass migration occurs.

This is going to backfire spectacularly, especially if there isn’t a financial component. When the average person hears reparations, they think money. If they ain’t getting a check, they ain’t gonna be happy

Wasn't California admitted to the Union as a free state?

The could do that, but then they'd backfill the hole somewhere else with Federal dollars. We're all going to pay for it one way or another.

That's the game. Local/state decisions that are made by THEIR people and their people only (sanctuary cities, for example), and then they funnel Federal money for it, essentially making the rest of us, who had nothing to do with it, pay for it.

California would have to build a border wall to keep blacks out.

A state that had no slaves wants to pay reparations for slavery? Do they know that the first slaves were white?

That was cute, i see what you did there. But the Red people have gotten theirs, the yellow did too. even though they were the enemy of war. Brown is getting theirs now. We didnt want our tax dollars going neither, but guess what, we paid.
