California Secretary of State Dr. Shirley N. Weber said that the Golden State can “lead the nation” by passing reparations for the descendants of black slaves.
California entered the Union as a free state on Sep. 9, 1850.
The state has been considering reparations under a law proposed by Weber, then in the State Assembly, and signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) in 2020, during the height of the frenzy around the Black Lives Matter movement. A committee was formed to consider proposals for reparations and to make recommendations to the legislature. As Breitbart News has reported, reparations could amount to $230,000 per recipient,

Give em the money and start a Rolls Royce or big jewelry company there. You will have the money back in a year.
But I thought it was for people who could prove they are descendant from a slave. Now it is just given to any POC? I identify as black as of yesterday.
This IS going to stop the looting issue right?

Part of me wants them to do this. The result will be a mob of people screaming for money and those that are turned down will not be happy about it. And when the money runs out, the streets will be filled with "mostly peaceful" protests. Mostly.

As soon as the multi-generational PARASITES repay the treasury, there'll be enough to get started!

One look at "Dr." Weber tells you all you need to know. I sure would hate to have that doctor working on me!

IMO If reparations are paid there should be a massive movement not to pay the taxes that would be used for it.

Why does the reparations crowd keep throwing out 400 years of oppression as a reason for current Black cultural failures in the US? The US is not 400 years old. Not every problem in the Black community and current culture is due to "the legacy of slavery and oppression". That is just anexcuse for taking personal responsibility for yourself.

The California Sec of State is an unusually large idiot. If California can be forced to pay reparations, i.e., damages, that would completely negate state sovereign immunity, and open them up for lawsuits for all the damages from their bad leadership, which has been prevalent, the protection of sovereign immunity gone. Good luck to you!

This is a deadly insult to the descendants of the hundreds of thousands who fought and died to end slavery, those imprisoned in Andersonville, those who fought and were injured, or who just fought and went nuts....... This is a deadly insult. I know exactly what they intended. This is a deadly insult , a slander to avoid the actual justice which goes the other way - those freed owe a debt though no one is trying to collect. Jesus repays. He will repay this. I will never accept this insult to those poor men who I know went to die for what is right. Never even raise this topic. I will scream my head off. I am done with everybody who supports this. I will leave you to the justice of God. And await it with boiling hot enthusiasm.

Speak for yourself! There is no way in Hades that I would follow California on anything! That sorry state mistakenly believes it is all that and a bag of chips (think Obama) when, in fact, the rest of the country sees it for what it is, a complete leftist disaster. Newsom and his followers have killed, cremated and buried their golden goose.

Money stolen by force from people who never owned slaves to give to people who never were slaves......."for slavery".
How about I get money for the Holocaust? Just because I am not a Jew and never was in a German death camp and the money would come from people who had nothing to do with the death camps shouldn't affect my "reparations", right?

The good "Doctor" can lead her fat butt back to Africa. She probably has one of those "studies" degrees and sat in classrooms for twenty years to get it. Giving every descendant of slaves millions of dollars guarantees that they will be useless for the rest of their lives and their children after them if there is any money left after the expensive homes, cars and drugs eat it all up.

Dr. Shirley Weber's degrees are in Communication. I wonder where she thinks California will get the money to pay reparations. It isn't like they can print money like Uncle Sam.

I have a Black ancestor whose pink slip showed he was owned by an American. He came to the Netherlands from Africa in 1850. He lived in a place called Groenigan, or something like that. He fathered via a white woman another ancestor who emigrated to America and, voila, 173 years later here I am. Governor Newsome, may I have my million dollars now?

Can't wait to sue them to recover the loss of income my great-great-grandfather's family had to endure when he fought for Ohio in the Civil War.
