Activists on Saturday demanded that the state of California pay millions of dollars to each Black resident in reparations as a way to make amends for slavery and subsequent discrimination, dismissing the mammoth proposals from California's reparations task force as too little. The demands were made at a highly explosive official meeting of the task force, which was created by state legislation signed by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2020. The committee was hearing comments from the public as it considers final recommendations to submit to the California Legislature, which will then decide whether to implement the measures and send

This is beyond ridiculous. Where does the money come from and how would the decision be made about who qualifies? Just when I think our country cannot get any nuttier, I read this article.

Who is gonna pay it...Spain? The ONLY slaves in California were when Spain "Owned" it. Maybe Bill Mexico since they were the Spanish Colony?
Heck, just go personally DEMAND all of that money from every Mexican you see on the street.

The only very slight silver lining to this is that Newsom let this genie out of the bottle, and there’s no putting it back, so it may be the end of his political career. At some point reparations will run into the brick wall of financial reality, the result will be a race war that will make 2020’s “mostly peaceful protests” look like a church picnic.

So this is a one time payment? Hiw can that be. Say a black child is born after the deadline and isn’t eligible. Isn’t that arbitrary and capricious ? Once one starts this, it’s reparations for eternity. And guess what, most every black in the country will move to California. This is good cause it will destroy
Dem support in areas now the Dems need to Steal national elections.

Are their African relatives paying into these demands as well?? After all, African chieftains caged their own as well as neighboring tribes where they stole more bodies. Caged they were all delivered to the Portuguese slavers. Newsome gruesome might want to figure all these details out. Alas this jerk does not have a brain.

There have never been Black slaves in California, USA. Beyond that most of the non-Black population now in California did not even have ancestors living in the USA during the Southern slave period before the US Civil War. So who is going to stand still and pay the demanded reparations?

Reminds me of the exchange when Alan Rickman is messing with Detective Dwayne's head by asking for a motley list of world terrorists to be let go while he stalls to bust open the Nakatomi Tower vault:
Cops (Republicans)
"Two hours is not enough.
H-Hello? Hello?
Danny, did you get all that?
Let's go. We gotta make some calls."
Meanwhile, Hans and his computer geek:
"Do you think they'll even try to do it?
Who cares?"
All a smoke screen, a mind-blowing waste of time to mask what is really going on...
The answer is NO! Unequivocal, in your face... NO! Nobody alive today was ever a slave in the American South, and the closest we have today is the Democrat "plantation" oppressed urban dweller of the past 60 years.
The immigration and cultural changes since slavery days has washed through our nation as in every conquered, subjugated or victorious peoples in man's history on earth. It's gone, and unrecoverable (thank God).
Conservatives, whether or not they be Republicans, need to stop their perennial search for a COMPROMISE on this (as with every) issue, and JUST BACK THEM DOWN.

If Newsome is smart he will find a way to put a proposal for reparations on the ballot. When it loses 80-20 he can say he tried.

I note that the Urban Thug Culture that has destroyed the heart of all the Democ'Rat-run cities is largely a Black phenomenon.
I suggest:
-a Damage Fee for every building that has been forced into decay,
-a Theft and Vandalism Fee for every vehicle owned by a non-Black person or non-Black-controlled company, that has been 'keyed' or damaged, or burned, or stolen by a Black thug.
-an Injury Fee for every non-Black person who has ever been assaulted on the streets by a Black thug,
-a Murder Fee for every non-Black person who has ever been killed by a Black thug,
-an Emotional Distress Fee for every time a non-Black person has felt afraid, walking or driving through a Black-controlled neighborhood,
-a Theft Fee for every item ever stolen from a store, or from a non-Black person,
There, that'll do... for a start.
I think about a Trillion Jillion Gadzillion GooglePlex dollars ought to make a decent Down Payment.
And Who is to Pay?
Why, the Black Thugs, of course!
They can start with Jesse 'Shakedown' Jackson, 'Rev-rund' Al Sharpton, and of course, the proclaimed First Black President, William J. 'The HornDog' Clinton and that Grifter woman that he's stuck with.

The city of San Francisco has floated 5 million each, plus another 95,000 for them and their descendants for the next 200 years, plus preferential treatment (first dibs on any property for sale in the city, and don't have to pay taxes). It's so weird you can't even laugh about it.

typical, typical, typical giving in to any terrorist will only get you more demands and more ridiculously concocted demands - then if California agrees to $200 million the number will go up another $100 and so on and so on
California doesn't have the money to pay for this ridiculous blackmail but the communists in the California legislature will deep this going for as long as it takes to reach their drop dead number and the ultimate financial breakdown of the California treasury, if there is such a department.
wondering who is the real terrorist in that state, the legislature terrorists or the reparations terrorists? either way the people of California keep getting the elected bodies they vote for (boggles the mind)

What will happen when this racial madness is rejected, because it will be rejected as both unconstitutional as well as impossible to afford? Americans of Asian descent, retail stores, schools and anything that isn’t bolted down will initially be at grave risk from those who were denied their reparations. “ No reparations, no peace” will be the chant that destroys what’s left of our cities and society.
In 2020, we endured over 450 riots because of the fentyal caused death of a professional black criminal, George Floyd. What will we face if reparation proposals are rejected in California, Illinois and similar deep blue states?

$200 mil enough? I mean we wouldn't want anyone short. Think of the anger when they couldn't afford their colt 45 or newports. I mean they might get mad and riot or something.

Isn't "activists" just one of your favorite words? I read that word, and it's the signal to run the other way, as fast as I can.
