California to unveil groundbreaking slave reparations report

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — California’s first-in-the-nation task force on reparations for African Americans will release a report Wednesday documenting in detail the harms perpetuated by the state and recommending steps to address those wrongs, including expanded voter registration, making it easier to hold violent police accountable and improving Black neighborhoods.

It also recommends the creation of a special office that would, in part, help African Americans descended from free or enslaved Black people in the country at the end of the 19th century document their eligibility for financial restitution.

The report, which runs 500 pages, will be the first government-commissioned study on harms against the African American community since the 1968 Kerner Commission report ordered by then-President Lyndon Johnson, task force Chair Kamilah Moore said.

"I hope that this report is used not only as an educational tool, but an organizing tool for people not only in California but across the U.S. to educate their communities," she said, adding that the report also highlights "contributions of the African American community and how they made the United States what it is despite ongoing oppression and degradation."

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation creating the task force in 2020, making California the only state to move ahead with a study and plan. Cities and universities are taking up the cause with the Chicago suburb of Evanston, Illinois, becoming the first U.S. city to make reparations available to Black residents last year.

#1 The release of the remaining California and Illinois slaves is long overdue. Everyone else is being released and moving elsewhere, why not the slaves ?

#2 They have one large memory hole out there. Before the Constitution was ratified the former colonies, now independent states, operated under the Articles of Confederation. It was under that governmental structure that the Northwest Ordnance of 1787 was passed. It organized the western territories in which the states of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin would emerge. It barred the introduction of slavery into the new territories. It's all one big grifters game.

#3 These days the slaves in California are from Mexico, not Africa. And, yes, reparations will be a bitch.

#4 As an Irishman, I demand reparations from the UK, but maybe California will pay me because reparations for Ireland was EU membership.

#5 California was admitted to the Union in 1850 as a free state. There has never been slavery in California. What is this all about?

Yes, I know, money. As usual.

#6 But at least it makes the wealthy demoncrats feel better about themselves by spending other people's money and taking a good slice of it!

#7 As I point out back Jan.20, 2022

Reparations are little more than a great election year gimmick for Liberals, Socialists, and Democrats seeking the fleeing Black-American Voters return. The idea has been a LSD voter gimmick since the 1990's.

With some going off the deep end really expecting this is the year it happens.

#8 "...The report, which runs 500 pages, will be the first government-commissioned study on harms against the African American community since the 1968 Kerner Commission."

Naturally ---->Just in time for Mid-terms <------

How about a report that details what has been spent the last 60 years attempting to right the wrongs of the 150 years previous to 1962? With estimates ranging from $7.2T to $11.2 Trillion. For the 9,360,000+/- (19.5%) Black Americans living below the US Proverty Rate With works out to something between $769,230.76 to $1,196,581.19 per man, women and child alive to date in the Black community.

How about a report detailing the 81% success rate?

How about the 100's of $$$ BILLIONS in private property lost in riots/looting?

How about a detailed crime report showing Black against White/Latino/Asians and on and on. Which in some Serious Felony categories runs 4 and 5 to 1.

How about a 72% single mother with multiple children and fathers family with no male partner present. Being cared for by Taxpayers.

How about a report showing preferred hiring or admissions over more qualified candidates students?

There is a lot more the LSD's don't want to discuss also.
