California’s reparations task force has approved recommendations which could give black residents $1.2million each as compensation for slavery and discrimination.
The nine-member committee voted Saturday to approve proposals on how the state can compensate and apologize for generations of harm caused by discriminatory policies.
A black resident in California who has lived in the state their whole life until the age of 71 could receive more than $1.2million in compensation, if the recommendations are forged into law.
But residents who attended the official meeting in Oakland hit out at the estimated costs of reparations, which some believe it is ‘nowhere near enough,’ demanding $200million direct cash payments to individuals instead.
California became the first state to form a reparations task force in September 2020 following national protests over the death of George Floyd who was killed by a white Minneapolis Police officer.
Is this for real? I hope not.
?????
Dan Bongino is all for it! Pay it out THIS YEAR LUMP SUM CASH. Bill every Democrat who voted for this immediately. Sell your real estate retirement or whatever to pay it in full this year
Fixed!
Every person that is currently a slave – or the child of someone that is currently a slave should get their freedom as well as the 200 Million – and they should get it from their masters…not the taxpayers!
Wish in one hand and shit in the other, you know the rest,
I would be all for reparations it if in return no more social support programs of any kind other than Social Security for the recipients or their descendants. Also no priority given for hiring, college entrance or any other type of selection process where currently race is an advantage. I would add to it a defined numer of sessions with a certified financial advisor. We would save money in the long run I believe. After that you are on your own.
I see you didnt really think that thru.
Stupid much?
Whites were the original slaves
Blacks sold blacks out into slavery
Women are paid less than men for the same work.
We all are currently slaves to the government, and they do not care about your race
For a state that continues to be in the billion dollar NEGATIVE each and every year – where’s the money coming from?
As a nation there are only a handful of WWII vets – now near or at 100 years old. That started in 1941
When did slavery end??? Individuals still alive that were slaves??? YES I did read the article…I read their FAMILIES will get the money.
Where is the money coming from? And this is more important than the border explosion about to transpire?
We (USA) will definitely be paying for a very long long time.
Another sickening Democrat fairy tale.
Just dump a load of cash on mostly poor people without any strings and without offering guidance or a plan for them to responsibly spend, save and invest. Scammers, car salesmen, jewelers, drug dealers, landlords and real estate agents are drooling.
