I have my doubts Democrats in California would actually do it because it would piss off the Hispanics and Democrats can't win without Hispanics who account for 39% of the population in California. I think it is just empty virtue signaling to the base like Brandon's committee to study Supreme Court packing.

The Hispanics would be next in line to get reparations. We "stole their land" you know

How many black people were slaves in California in the 1860's?

And anyway, of the 2, they are both dead, so they can't spend money anymore.

Black people getting a social pass on not tipping is reparations to me IMO.

I thought Oregon had something planned like to give all blacks 300k or something
Wonderful!

I’m in for that amount 100%!

The caveat is that if the funds are accepted, all minority set-asides are rendered null and void.

The playing field is forever leveled.

Fun Fact:
Within Three years after the funds are disbursed, 90%+ of the money will be somewhere else. I’ll have an interest in “somewhere else” and will appreciate the revenue.

Then we all can go on with our lives.

Given the history of California they probably should be giving reparations to the Chinese population


Don’t forget the Mexicans and Native Americans. They were kinda there already

Make the reparations payable over time and available only to those who move to California.

Then I'll have a Coke.

My question to them would be... What are those racist structures, specifically? And then I would dig into the details to show they are not, in fact, racist, just an outcome of a culture that does not want to be a normal participant in American society.

But these people don't want to look at the specifics. Their narrative falls apart when you do.

They don’t understand that shite like this will turn a moderate person into a racist pretty quickly.

California wasn't even a state until 1850 and likely had very few black residents until after the Civil War.

But they did have Chinese slaves

It is going to be interesting to see how they determine who is black, who has ancestors who were slaves.

The reality is, every single one of them has ancestors that were slaves but many of them are still slaves over in Africa and northern Africa were all of the started thousands of years ago….and still continues today.
