#2 Her people have and continue to be at the end of the line as humanity progresses. She hates that reality.

#3 Only those owned and operated by Donks, the party of slavery, segregation, and the Klan.

#4 To penalize the South for slavery, the Federal Government confiscated much of the existing produce of the Confederacy and penalized the rebels more during Reconstruction. Certainly, there was enough plunder at the time to give some cash to former slaves. Currently, our government looks to have some cash flow issues that will preclude cash payouts beyond was is currently being distributed in the form of food stamps.
As for going full socialist redistribution on small business in Denver, Candy CdeBaca can achieve a similar result by allowing the army to use her city for an artillery practice. Her initiative could be the only possible plan that would restore positive population growth to rust belt cities like Cleveland. Unfortunately, all the Cleveland politicians are dumb enough to enact her stupid idea right behind her.

#5 CA committee approves $800 billion. The reparations train has left it's CA station and is heading to a state/city near you - maybe yours. It may be possible to stop it somewhere down the line but there will be no escape from the consequences of having approved it.

#6 California is still wrestling with the whole reparations question and has been for quite a while now. But yesterday, the task force assigned to look into the matter took a series of votes and approved several recommendations. None of these are moving immediately into law, but they are intended to inform the legislature so that final proposals can be voted on. They agreed on some form of apology and cash reparations. They didn’t specify an amount, but an earlier version of the proposal called for payments of at least $360,000. Of course, this plan would only apply to Black residents and not any other minorities. And the total bill would add up to more than two and a half times the state’s entire annual budget, even as California faces a significant budget shortfall. (NY Post)

#8 California reparations panel approves payments of up to $1.2 million to every Black resident

Ah'm assuming that's for those alive since 1860.

#9 "Capitalism was built on stolen land, stolen labor, and stolen resources,"

That's the government's job! Socialists/Communists don't like any competition!

#10 Any one accepting 'reparations' should forfeit citizenship and must leave the country. Returning here should mean an automatic death penalty carried out immediately. Oh and they forfeit ALL assets in America, they get their slave money and that's it.

#11 Capitalism was built on stolen land, stolen labor, and stolen resources

I guess if the "previous occupants" had consolidated their holdings (via some superior economic system? Which one, please.) the settlers would have had to move on.

Pro Tip: for those forging their birth certificates and related documentation, the Microsoft Word default font did not exist in the 1860s.

#16 My guess is the first "C" is pronounced as an "S".
