The California Reparations Task Force formally recommended that the state offer payments of up to $1.2 million to every qualifying Black resident. The task force held a public meeting in Oakland, California, on Saturday and voted on the final set of recommendations to be sent to the state's legislators. The nine-member panel called on the state to offer its Black residents a formal apology in addition to the payments.
"Reparations are not only morally justifiable, but they have the potential to address long-standing racial disparities and inequalities," Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., said after attending the meeting.

Only makes sense if they begin collecting from Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney, Matt Damon, Rob Reiner, J Lo, Affleck, Streisand, Obama, Soros.....you know, the crowd that says we should be paying it.

My suggestion is the Task Force go to CVS and get themselves a giant tube of REPARATION-H (tm) and inject it, well, you know where. It’s great for dealing with certain, you know, irritated and inflamed nether parts. No, no charge for the advice. I feel it’s my civic duty.

I hope the designated black recipients don't get impatient waiting for their $1.2 million each. You know how you get when somebody holds out on paying you your money. It could cause social unrest if the money isn't paid promptly.
I think the Dim party should fund it- they were the slavery promoters, even going so far as to kill 600,000 people to preserve slavery. And they created institutional racism- known as Southern Racism- with their Jim Crow laws and their KKK to terrorize nonbelievers.
Plus, recipients: you ain't black unless Big Bidet says you are. So vote early and often! And don't worry or think! Life's difficulties are all due to racism, nothing else!

My suggestion for the apology part: Here is your check for one point two million dollars. We are very sorry that the amount is so low and it can't begin to repay you for all of the pain the white folks have caused you. Once you have spent this on your drugs of choice and the new Lambo, please re-apply and any funds left over will be divided among those most in need. By the way, please vote for me, Barbara Lee, in 2024. I have worked for you tirelessly for the past twenty five years. Thank you for your support.

Does this include all of those gazillionaire black actors, rappers and professional athletes who live in the state?

How about these people who want money off of the backs ancestors who most probably would be ashamed of them, step up and condemn the child slavery being enabled by the Biden Administration TODAY.
How can they sit back and watch it happen in our country? White people in this country are the ones who risked everything to abolished the practice of slavery in the US. Harriet Tubman would have never had an Underground Railroad if White merchants and farmer hadn't laid everything on the the line to move and hide those slaves who sought freedom. Why did they even bother? They were free. They did it because slavery is immoral, it is evil, and they got off of their rear ends and changed it all.
These grifters today don't care about the morality of slavery. I haven't heard any of them condemn the African slave trade, or the enslavement and systematic murder of the Uighurs in China. They seem to have no problem buy the sneakers produced by slaves. Not a peep about the Southern border.
It seems that if actual work is involved the reparations crowd wants no part of it.

Racism is growing stronger everyday in the United States and it is not coming from white heterosexuals.

Who is going to pay for this insanely stupid idea?
How are the insanely stupid but conniving politicians gonna collect it?
I doubt many California citizens are going to allow representatives of this insanely stupid idea to reach in their pockets, pull out their wallets, and help themselves.
California citizens just aren't that stupid, nor are they insane. They won't put up with it.
This madness will not - cannot -stand.

If this happens in California, one can bet his bottom dollar, that the blacks in other states are going to pull the same thing. Actually, in my opinion, the only people who should get reparations are the Indians, whom the whites stole their land; and that is it.

So, they plan to take money from people who never owned a slave, and then give it to people who never were a slave, in a state that NEVER had slavery legal.
Yeah, that's.......completely insane and probably illegal.

Every Black person in the country will be moving to California, and every non-Black will be moving out.

Great! There'll be a mass migration of the more darkly pigmenteds to CA and they can rename it Wakanda.

#15, the Indians already have their reparations - they’re called “Casinos”.

I have never been more mad! I want reparations. My family was held during the holocaust and I think it's at least as bad. Anybody want to debate!

I'm with #6 DVC, If I identify as "black" and live in California will I be eligible for this fraudulent tax payer funded scheme?

Kind of reminds me of Biden's promise to pay for the student loans.
Vote for us now, get the money later. Maybe.

A terrible idea in so many ways, not the least of which is that it ignores the people who we’re actually treated as slaves: the Chinese.
