This is modern slavery.
The law can in justice enforce claims only between victims and those who genuinely caused the harm. If there were to have been reparations, they could only have come from slaveholders.
Not that it matters but California wasn’t even a slave state. And logic is “hate speech” anyway.

The idea that somehow all people of non-African descent are today somehow responsible for an injustice that they did not cause and that they never enforced hundreds of years ago, is absurd. Most Americans can’t even trace descent from slaveholders. And in any case, being the descendent of a murderer doesn’t make one guilty of murder; and the same goes for any other such crime. (The Atlas Society)
One could furthr make the case that affirmative action is reparations and that spectacular failure continues to rob the meritorious of their rightful place but creates “the problem of academic “mismatch,” regardless of skin color. When a student’s entering credentials put him or her at the bottom of the class, it should come as no surprise when he or she switches to an easier major, drops out, or fails out. It’s become increasingly clear that affirmative action is doing more harm than good to the very people it is intended to help. The problem doesn’t stop there. Because of affirmative action policies, fewer minorities enter careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields.” (more here)
This is the worst kind of racism.
Gavin Newsom’s reparations committee will recommend handing out $223,200 per person to all descendants of slaves in California for ‘housing discrimination’ at a cost of $559BN – in nation’s biggest restitution effort ever

A reparations committee in California has suggested that descendants of slaves in the state could be compensated $223,200 each for ‘housing discrimination’.
The nine-member Reparations Task Force was formed by California Governor Gavin Newsom as part of the country’s largest ever effort to address reparations for slavery.
A focus of the California task force has been ‘housing discrimination’ – it has been estimated that it would cost around $569billion to compensate the 2.5 million Black Californians for setbacks between 1933 and 1977, according to the New York Times.
That is more than California’s $512.8billion expenditure in 2021 – which included funding for schools, hospitals, universities, highways, policing and corrections.
However, discussions are still underway, and the panel is continuing to consider how payments should be made – some suggested tuition and housing grants while others proposed cash.
The task force has also identified four other causes for reparations: Mass incarceration, unjust property seizures, devaluation of Black businesses and health care.
It has until June 2023 to submit its final recommendations to the Legislature.
Their estimations came after the task force hosted meetings across the state to meet with members of Black communities to better understand the economic impact of slavery.

This is a criminal enterprise! Let me understand this: a state that never had slavery is going to steal money from people who never owned slaves and give it to people who never were slaves!
This is racketeering! This maniac needs to be arrested and executed for criminality.

This is completely ridiculous. There is no one still alive who was a slave. Maybe newsome will expand this to the people whose relatives were slaves in Egypt as well.

Repatriation not reparations. It’s time for the blacks who hate America to leave.

I agree. Those who still have complaints about their treatment in this country after they were freed, their equal rights confirmed in the constitution, and 40 years of affirmative action should avail themselves of the opportunity to return to their homeland.

If anyone owes reparations it is Kamala Harris, who’s ancestor Hamilton Brown owned hundreds of slaves.

Ok, most slaves were NOT BLACK. But that’s alright, I’m feeling kind of black these days.

Yes. Taking a life span as about 70, then they would get 10% of what blacks would receive. What a farce!!

This is total moral and fiscal irresponsibility. Why the people of California would elect someone who was even sympathetic to this idea let alone an advocate like Newsome is beyond me. Maybe it in some sense makes supporters feel that they are “good people.” But, sadly, it’s just the opposite.

Does this apply to those who were brought over as indentured servants? How far back do we get to go? Heck, maybe all the rich Jews in the Biden administration can collect for the time their ancestors were slaves in Egypt.

This idiotic knee-jerk passionfruit is still in office? What does that say about his constituents?

Well, being the descendant of Underground Railroad participants, do I get a pass on reparations plus a kickback from escaped slaves that my ancestors assisted? Inquiring minds want to know.
