The "board" assigned to decide on reparations for Black People says yes. The 'board is made up of almost all Black People with a couple of Asians thrown for good measure. Hmm...

As long as the funds for the so called reparations aren’t federal, only state then let em.

I think it's a great way for a state that never had slavery to force people who never owned slaves to pay reparations to people that never were slaves.

Kalifornians better stock up on Kools and Colt 45 before prices soar.

This is the state board. The city of San Francisco apparently appointed their own board. Their recommendation is 5x what this board is asking for. $5 mill per black person.

Those commie bastids deserve the gov't they voted into orifice.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom declined to endorse the cash payments – which could reach as high as $1.2 million for a single recipient – recommended by his reparations task force, telling Fox News Digital that dealing with the legacy of slavery "is about much more than cash payments."

"The Reparations Task Force’s independent findings and recommendations are a milestone in our bipartisan effort to advance justice and promote healing. This has been an important process, and we should continue to work as a nation to reconcile our original sin of slavery and understand how that history has shaped our country," Newsom said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

While the Democratic governor applauded the task force's work, he declined to endorse any specific recommendations, though he pledged to continue to "advance systemic changes that ensure an inclusive and equitable future for all Californians."

"Dealing with that legacy is about much more than cash payments. Many of the recommendations put forward by the Task Force are critical action items we’ve already been hard at work addressing: breaking down barriers to vote, bolstering resources to address hate, enacting sweeping law enforcement and justice reforms to build trust and safety, strengthening economic mobility — all while investing billions to root out disparities and improve equity in housing, education, healthcare, and well beyond. This work must continue," he said.

"Following the Task Force’s submission of its final report this summer, I look forward to a continued partnership with the Legislature to advance systemic changes that ensure an inclusive and equitable future for all Californians."

The task force's recommendation breaks payments down by types of historical discrimination. For instance, Black residents affected by redlining by banks would receive $3,366 for each year they lived in California from the early 1930s to the late 1970s, amounting to up to $148,099.

Similarly, Black residents could receive roughly $2,352 in compensation for over-policing and mass incarceration for each year they lived in California between 1970 and 2020. Those payments could amount to $115,260. For a Black Californian who checks enough boxes, the total payout could reach $1.2 million.

The task force’s final recommendations will soon be submitted to the California Legislature, which will then decide whether to implement the measures and send them to Newsom's desk to be signed into law.

"This has been a fool’s errand from the start," James Gallagher, California Assembly Republican Leader, previously told Fox News Digital.

"Democrats have promised the world with this reparations task force, and now the massive taxpayer bill is coming due. Newsom has painted himself into a corner, and he’ll have to choose between signing off on a ridiculous policy that will bankrupt the state or admitting once and for all that this task force was nothing more than a political stunt."

Until CA pensions go bankrupt and TX, WY, MT ... have to bail them out. Kinda like what we did with the Teamsters Union, General Motors and IL pensions etc.

Look at history!! Freed slaves got reparations - 5 acres and a mule. More than I ever got!! What they did with it is on them. After this round reparations there will be another and another ...

LMFAO I bet you voted for that scumbag.

A million will make them immensely rich in most African countries. Only give it to them if they agree to leave the US permanently.

I think the US should pay One Million dollars to every one that can provide absolute, undeniable proof that they were a slave in the USA!

Apparently this is so far out that even Newsom has had to back away from it. Note the last sentence.

There are only a few letters difference between the words "reparation" and "repatriation."

Hhmmm...

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, that's me.
I voted for a tall tree and a short rope.

Ballot Harvesting

I'd put the rope around the c-suckers neck.

Good time to open a Caddy dealership. Then button up a month or two later.
