| Protests erupt at California State Capitol after pair of reparations bills shelved |
| 2024-09-02 |
| [FoxNews] "Gimme Dat Money!" A pair of reparations-related bills for the descendants of enslaved Black Americans failed to pass in the California legislature on Saturday after backers said the bills would not move forward. Authored by Democrat state Sen. Steven Bradford of Inglewood, Senate Bill 1331 would have created a new state fund for reparations, while Senate Bill 1403 would have established a state agency to oversee these efforts and determine who would be eligible. These measures were considered key components of some lawmakers’ ambitious efforts to pass legislation aimed at atoning for what they said was a legacy of racist policies that drove disparities for Black people, from housing to education to health. While the Democrat-led California legislature did a pass a spate of other bills aimed at remedying past racial injustices, none of these would provide direct payments to African-Americans. |

| #1 A few things: * California is almost bankrupt and in debt. Where is the $$$$$$ coming from? * Just because a person is of Darker Skin does not mean their ancestry were 1776-1865 US slaves. Estimates show that the US has admitted just over a MILLION of African immigrants since the Civil war. Most of which had 2+, offsprings each generation for over 150 years (10+/-) generations. * Isn't the $3.4+/- Trillion in WELFARE and assistance, since the 1960's, to Black * California was admitted as a free state in 1850. So it never had a state or federally allowed slave population. * Why should California's Non-White (yes that includes Blacks) be taxed to pay for the reparations? * Not one person being offered Reparations was ever a slave in pre-1865. FACT! * 96+/-% of the US Citizens NEVER owned a pre-1865 Slave. So why should they be taxed for the sins and errors of the 4+/-% * It isn't legal to hold a person accountable for the acts of a possible Great Great Great Grand parent? check the suits against gun manufacturers * Well over 3/4's of the US population ancestry was not in the USA until AFTER 1870. Why should they be taxed to pay for it? * If 40 AC and Mule is the basis for this political sham for votes. BUT WAIT!!! it was the DEMOCRAT Party that supported Slavery and now wants the Black Vote? So using the same stupid political logic. Since the Democrat Party existed then and is still around. Shouldn't it and those that support the DNC be SOLELY responsible for paying the $$$$? where did the mules come from? Remember, Republicans were and still are Anti-Slavery. While the (D's) are moving towards National Socialism, which supports the Government owning the lives of its slaves. BTW: Still supporting BLM ? Because some of the biggest tribal based slave owning countries are still in Africa. Historically, Africans have held many times more slaves than the US, even after supplying millions to a dozen other nations? |
