Reparations

It wouldn’t be a total free for all, my brother-in-law is black and for the most part grew up in California but he wouldn’t qualify. So there are limits on who would receive them.

will he stick around and pay for the reparations being given to others?......

How does a state turn into those cities?

The black population of the state has dropped over the past 30-40 years and the state is not in a better place.

Yes.
The people who committed the transgressions will not be the ones paying the fine.

And the original people who caused the problem in the first place " Black Africans enslaving and selling other Black Africans to Europeans" get off scott free without paying the debt. Want reparations? Send the bill to Africa.

Then they should pay reparations to Britain for stopping the slave trade and nearly bankrupting themselves in the process.

Does the Royal Thai Police know you support slavery and consider people of color to be less than a full-blooded British citizen?
 
SCOTUS would likely not allow it even if California passed such a thing

a government awarding money based on belonging to a certain race?

Good luck getting that by these courts :laugh:

State's Rights. I'd love to see how a RW activist SCOTUS ruling against State's Rights plays with the Republican Party. LOL

Biden trying to pass a National Reparations Act, yes. States? No.

There's been a lot of talk about reparations, at least in California where the state has a panel studying the issue. Now after the Supreme Courts ruling on AA it's picking up even more. We have two articles about it in our local paper today.

We all know the adage 'as California goes so goes the nation'. We could see in that in two propositions voters approved in the state banning AA. Not surprising the Supreme Court followed suit. Now we'll see if California leads the way in giving reparations. We've seen the arguments supporting AA about racism and America's history etc. What would be any different in using those same arguments for reparations?

You're right that there's been a lot of TALK by the Democrats in California about reparations.

Note as well, that there's been no whisper of any REAL action on the issue.

There's no way that California is going to be paying these million dollar or multimillions dollar reparations to descendants of slavery.

The Democrats will just keep stringing these stupid people along with successive panels investigating the matter and special committees, and so on..

It's all just pure, cynical, vote-grabbing BS; and they'll play out the charade as long as they can get away with it.

One thing is for sure - there will be no big reparations payment made. California doesn't have the money for a start.
