California Reparations Could See Newsom Give Black Americans $223k Each

[havoc00]

Anine-member Reparations Task Force has estimated that Black Californians could receive more than $223,000 each in reparations for the enduring economic effects of racism and slavery, more than two years on from the murder of George Floyd at the hands of the police.

California has become the first U.S. state to require its agencies to present a separate demographic category for descendants of enslaved people.

The New York Times reported on Thursday that the taskforce, which was formed by a law signed by Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom in 2020, has spent months traveling across the West coast state to learn about the effects of these policies.

Those eligible for the reparations, the taskforce said in a March 2022 report, would be descendants of enslaved African Americans or of a "free Black person living in the United States prior to the end of the 19th century."

Only people who can prove that they fit under these categories will be eligible for the reparations. California has an estimated 2.6 million Black residents, around 2 million of whom are descendants of slaves.

The five areas identified by the team (housing discrimination, mass incarceration, unjust property seizures, devaluation of Black businesses and health care) are the factors it is taking into account when determining the reparations.

The Times reported that, just based on housing discrimination between 1933 and 1977, $569 billion in reparations would need to be paid to African Americans in California–amounting to $223,000 per person. The total amount of reparations suggested, the largest in history, will likely be much higher than that.

Between 1619 to 1865, slavery deprived more than 4 million Africans and their families of freedom, citizenship, cultural heritage and economic opportunity.

The final costing for the reparations will be released in 2023, and then it'll be up to legislators whether to act upon the recommendations and determine how they will be funded. The reparations will have to be approved by Newsom and other lawmakers.

The panel is now mulling over how it will recommend the reparations to be distributed, whether that is through education, health care or housing grants, or cash payments.

"We are looking at reparations on a scale that is the largest since Reconstruction," taskforce member and associate professor at the University of California, Berkeley, Jovan Scott Lewis, told The Times.

"That is why we must put forward a robust plan, with plenty of options," Lewis added.

The truth does not matter to dems. The false and over-the-top virtue signalling at any cost, means everything.

The dems would support a trans sucking a teacher's cock in an elementary school classroom to promote CRT. When there is a backlash, as always, they play the victim card.

To victimize, make more people dependent on the government, fabricating new crises, take control of all social media and news network to promote propaganda and hate and division, to indoctrinate children up to college, makes up the democrat party.

Sounds like another way for them to gather your dna

Anyone know specifically what this means?
Personal net wealth from housing appreciation?

"housing discrimination between 1933 and 1977, $569 billion"

[fightorrot]

The question here is how we can scam this and pretend to be blacks,

California never even had slavery LMAO

[-JR]

Love this for CA.

[Dave22reborn]

Maybe we'll see a huge migration of black people to California? I'm sure the Hispanics will.love that......

[Mark1T]

Do you guys just jump on any clickbait title and assume it’s 100% true?

Lol at the “9-member reparations council” and thinking this will actually happen. Sure, each black person will get $200K lmao.

You have to understand the strategy the dems are taking. They bring up extremely controversial topics that they know will not pass any laws, but that ignite firestorms of resentment and division and the only perceived cure is to be a democrat and instead of working toward real solutions, they endlessly trying to sow division and hatred based upon race.

When these hair-brained ideas never materialize, they blame the GOP. The ultimate disingenuous race-baiter strategy, i.e. Student Loan Forgiveness Lie.

Also, part of the beginning foundation of Newsom's presidential campaign.

Good call. Talcum X hadn't even crossed my mind for years. Is he still trying to grift through his charade?

It's gonna be hard to prove you descended from slaves when most black people don't know who their dad is

[AlwaysFocus]

Wow they sure waste a lot of money

[JT11RTR]

inb4 90% of black people move to cali

[Judgment]

Yeah but it MUST be contingent on their voting record.

If they didn’t vote for Biden then they ain’t black.

Maybe they forced black people to have ID's to buy a house.

I was thinking this the other day. What Californian would even be related.

Maury Povich is going to be a whole new kind of show.

[LeftistGent]

Would only serve to increase inflation given there are high odds the vast majority of that money will be spent on goods. I suppose their could be a worse use of this money though.

[rentfreein]

Jesus. Can you imagine how woke and white-guilt filled you will have to be to get elected as a white male democrat in like 2050?

[BeachPro11]

This will never happen. For a number of reasons. Strictly a political talking point to divide people and to give his base something to talk about.

However the fact that this guy is even THINKING of doing this is a scary scary thought for America.

[Mark1T]

"I'd be a man for Gavin."

[GeorgeFloyd]

Why would you get reparations because your ancestors experienced something that was legal at the time? It makes 0 sense.

[Kraken]

Stealing from whites to give to blacks. Nothing constitutional about that.

[nkiritsis13]

Just tell all of the Hollywood celebrities to adopt an African American instead of a child from Africa.

First thing I thought of, but then I realized that they're probably too busy teaching Wakanda history in California.
