Gavin Newsom's reparations committee will recommend handing out $223,200 per person to all descendants of slaves in California for 'housing discrimination' at a cost of $559BN - in nation's biggest restitution effort ever
  • A task force was set up in California to make proposals for slavery reparations

  • Descendants of slaves in California
    ...do they mean descendants of those who were slaves in California, or slave descendants who were free when they went to California? It’s not clear to me why California taxpayers should take on the guilt of the rest of the country. And what about those descended from immigrants who arrived after Lincoln freed the slaves —why should they take on guilt for something their bloodline was not involved in?
    could receive $223,200 each, it speculated

  • That would total $569billion - more than the entire state expenditure in 2021

  • Nearly 6.5% of California residents - 2.5M - identify as Black or African American

  • A focus of the task force has involved reimbursing for 'housing discrimination'

  • The task force was formed due to a bill signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2020

#1 
The 1860 United States census shows California had ZERO SLAVES

Cal. Tax annual revenue is roughly $248.19 Billion and declining. So the suggested amount is 2 years total years tax revenue?

So, how do they plan to operate the state?


What next? The 11,000 to 15,000 Chinese Railroad workers?

If I may offer some deeper discussion.

#2 In unrelated news Taxes in California went up and nearly every company/working citizen left. This was helpful to provide housing for the wave of American Blacks moving to the sunshine state.

#3 Most blacks in california will probably get a check for housing descrimination while those that Newsom's crack team can prove were descendants of slaves (despite the dodgy claims of the old Census) will get millions each. Pelosi and Newsom were originally slave names don't you know.

Next up Asians. There was a reason there were 'Chinatowns' in those Cali cities.

#5 I am sure the plan is to get the cash from the Feds i.e. we will be funding this lunacy.
