Actor Faizon Love has lashed out at the notion that black people in California will be given $223,000 in reparations, saying that the money will only be used to purchase luxury cars.
Love, 54, made the eye-opening response in an interview with YouTube channel Vlad TV as the debate over reparations for slavery in the Golden State continues.
The Meteor Man star said: 'F*** that. That's another trick man, because that money's gonna go right back to Cadillac and right back to [Mercedes] Benz.'
The chair of the task force handling the reparations issue, Kamilah V. Moore, said in an interview Tuesday that the $223,000 figure being reported was not simply

Like a remake of “Gone in 60 seconds”, that money will vanish in a whirlwind of worthless spending because of the way it will be attained, without being earned.

There's only one "reparation" that makes any sense.
A single use passport to whatever country they want to live in that will take them, the one way plane ticket to get there, and ocean freight for whatever "belongings" they want to take.
These people will never be happy here, so they should go where they will be happy. We will pay their passage.
No returns for any reason.

Probably not high end cars, but the stereo systems, trunk speakers, new rims and undercarriage light kits will be top of the line!!
Also look for a dramatic uptake in spending on weaves, nails, silver and gold grills and the famous name b-ball shoe du jour!!
Guaranteed that there will be no uptake in investments in college applications, trade school applications or new small business ventures.

Whatever they spend the money on, once it is gone, they will demand more.

I'm beginning to think that California should pay the rest of the Country reparations for all of the nonsense they've foisted on us over the years.

Will they be taxed on this money? Where is the money coming from?

People, regardless race, who are incapable or unwilling to manage money or spend it wisely, will be broke and bankrupt within a year. My sister, for example, inherited a million. Within two years it was all spent. She resorted to credit card fraud. Then started selling off assets for pennies. Within 15 years, she died a raging alcoholic, pennyless in a rundown unheated mobile home......after alienating the entire family.
The already responsible adults getting reparations will invest or pay off debts. The rest will blow it Within months and be back begging for government largess.

Why can't someone tell these grifters: There is no moral, legal, or logical grounds for your demands.
Maybe seek an end to the modern slavery of violent gang culture, illiteracy, and fatherlessness.

Most of us never had any doubts. This free money will be used just like the COVID and stimulus payments were. Kamilah Moore is the fox assigned to manage the henhouse and when that money disappears, it will be found to have been insufficient.

So does this mean that once the money is paid, that those on welfare now exceed income guidelines and are ineligible for any/all benefits? That'll end being a slave to the government.

I'd be in favor of these reoperations only if the money bankrupts the Democratic Party.. After all, it was the Democrats who fought a civil war to keep the slaves, who wrote all the Jim Crow segregation laws, and who voted as a sold bloc against the Civil Rights Act. It started with the Dems-it should finish the Dems.

They need to prove that they are descendants of slave first. Over 20, 00 plantation owners were black and had slaves. Which means that Obama is not eligible nor Kamal and I don't know how many million others whos forbears came after the Civil War.

Will the day ever come when people stop blaming (fill in the blank here) for all their ills? Education from kindergarten through 12th grade is free. Buckle down, study, learn. Go to work, learn new skills. Stop blaming others for your lack of success. I am so sick of this.

Faison is a Cuban-born actor. The cons want the reparation money to be tax free. They are so silly. They think the money is coming from their government god. A lot of people these days want what others have without working for it. The Bible calls that jealousy and greed; it's not a good thing and it never produces good results. So stupid. Amen, poster 12.

"Reparations" was once called, "Two-acres and a Mule," after the deadly war that cost Hundreds of Thousands of WHITE men their lives and many more a life-long wound to remind them of the war to end slavery. A hundred years later, "plantational" Democrats invented an Orwellian term, "The Great Society" to extend the Democrat Plantation to the great-grandchildren of slaves to keep them voting Democrat. It never stops, always being reintroduced as another "freebie," like the "Obamaphone." The entire Welfare State has been one unending reparation to blacks, who remain 3 to 7 generations as "Chattel of the State" in paid for housing. using Food-Stamps for everything BUT food, and their government Welfare Checks to become "donuffins," except to produce babies for wayward "men" in the community who then grow up to be gangstas and societal ne'er-do-wells.
How much have the ancestral spawn of slaves COST our society since they were awarded their freedom at the cost of white-man's blood?

I read one article where a woman in CA was already planning how to spend the windfall. She claimed it would all go to a college fund for her children and other lofty purposes. Dream on.

If this is somehow approved, would it cancel out affirmative action which has been happening since the 1960's?

This is unworkable even if one agrees that they should get reparations. (Which I don't.) It would be very difficult to determine all that are descendants of slaves, and they are not considering all the affirmative action they have received. They will never be satisfied no matter how much you give them. The blacks (not all) are extremely more racist than whites. Many who do not descend from slavery hate whitey and think they are owed something. California politicians are working out the demise of California. This will not end well.

The idea of sending money only to blacks is ILLEGAL on its face, not that it matters anymore with our justice system.
