Former NFL player Jack Brewer called California's reparations plan to give every descendant of black slaves $1.2million 'absolutely insane' and said no 'God-fearing man would sit up there and demand million-dollar checks.'
The former Eagles safety, 44, slammed the Reparations Task Force and those in support of it, saying they're focusing on the wrong things and should be looking at improving literacy rates and fixing the fatherless crisis.
'As we look at our real issues that we have as black folks in America, particularly in California, you know, there's one million blacks in LA County alone,' he told Fox News.

Democrats, they can't solve crimes right under their noses, like crime and poverty, but they can solve the WEATHER!

Most of them will die from drug overdoses within six weeks if this goes through.
Oops. Is that racist?

When I hear people demanding to receive reparations in the multi-millions of dollars, I'm reminded of what the cadets used to say about their four years at West Point: "Yeah, it's a Million-Dollar education. . .shoved up your (bleep) a nickel at a time."

We will not print our way to prosperity.
This is dumb and dishonest.
It changes nothing.
Actually, it makes things worse.
The economy will continue to decline, and division will get worse.
That's the main objective of this.

Gruesom Newsom has backed himself into a political corner. Bankrupt California cannot possibly pay for repratations. He will be either forced to admit that this is a political stunt that he knew could not be paid out, or he will be faced with a legacy of completely destroying California prosperity at the expense of an entitled demographic. I predict that the recommendations for reprations will be tabled by the state legislature and will be put on a general election ballot as a proposition for voters to ratify or reject. When it is rejected with a landslide vote, he can claim that he tried to correct a historical injustice. The danger for him in doing this, however, would be to energize voting against his general agenda and political allies.

1) I want to know how these people PROVE they deserve the money
2) How much will be LOST in fraud?
3) Does this mean they stop looting and shooting people?
4) Will they all of a sudden change their culture to behaving in a CIVILIZED manner?

On the back of the check:
Depositing or cashing this check is full final payment for all historic discrimination real or imagined. No additional payments will ever be made. After you p#ss this money away, you are on your own and have no one to blame but yourself.

Can I identify as a Black Californian? Enquiring minds are asking. $1.2 million for being Black seems like easy money.

And poster #8, no more foodstamps, free healthcare, free schooling, cell phones, housing, affirmative action hiring or college admission. No free breakfasts or lunches at school.

Please take your $1.2million and move back to Africa and help to make it the paradise you all claim it to be. After you do leave, you will quickly find that life in the USA was not so bad after all.

It really makes me sick when I see these well-dressed, intelligent looking people, with their hands out and screaming give me millions when they don’t deserve a thing. They look capable enough to get out and work like the rest of us do. Shame is evidently not in their vocabulary.

True, it won't solve issues; but it will serve purposes. All part of the systematic destruction of the nation and redistribution of wealth.

California never had slaves. It was a 'free State' from the moment it joined the USA.
How about reparations for Japanese Americans . How about reparations for Armenians, Gypsies and Jews?

I'd rather burn what little money I have than hand it out as a symbolic apolocy for my forebears who died to end slavery. I do not apologize, I do not confess. They went and fought that war and there are the descendants of those they died to free, asking those heroes' descendants for apologies. That we condemn them. Absolutely not. I would rather burn the money.

The governor knows that the blacks will not vote for Republicans. He can say or do anything he wants to them, and they will come back for more.

Gruesome know CA doesn't have the money for this. He will s8mply turn around and get it fr9m ol Blivet Diapers, and we'll all pay for it. My kin weren't in this country 7ntil the early 20th century. They were too busy having their backsides enslaved Across the Pond.
