Black activists at the California assembly threatened a "direct impact" on Vice President Harris' presidential campaign after state Democratic lawmakers held off on two bills that would have greenlighted slavery reparations. Last week, the California legislature approved proposals allowing for the return of land or compensation to families whose property was unjustly seized by the government, and issuing a formal apology for laws and practices that have harmed Black people. But none of those bills would provide widespread direct payments to African Americans.

Give us the money we didn't deserve or we won't vote. That about sums up the entire debate on reparations.

The bankers in the room 'cleared their throats'. At least some on the left might have some sense of self-preservation. Time will tell. My guess is it doesn't matter. The nationwide fraud network is already in place. They don't need to pass reparations to steal elections.

the bLACK mayor is setting up reparations
for the bLACKS who were "displaced" from
the slums during 1950's..
primarily from trash APARTMENTS owned by Whites
(anything for any Whites who lived in the same area?)

The unjust property seizures are just a pretext, if the compensation for that gets delimited by racial categories. Calling this Democrat duplicity would be a self-redundant term.

Reparations have already been paid. Paid with the blood of Civil War soldiers, by the blood shed by British Navy men, and by the liberation from slavery on a hemispheric extent for the first time in history.

California was never a slave state. Taking money from taxpayers, who never owned slaves, and giving it to tax-takers, who never were slaves, is extortion. Another term for it would be 'Tax Slavery'. Why not move to Minnesota? That state was littered with cotton plantations. Tiny Tim will pay.

Poster #7 - - Yes - - I remember the 6th grade history test - - the Compromise Of 1850 - - California was admitted as a free state. I got 100% on that test - - but I doubt if these "activists" could have even read the test - - much less aced it.

Talk to the hand about reparations. It’s never going to happen. I paid my reparations through every job I lost to a DEI candidate, every loan I didn’t qualify for because I was the wrong demographic, every school meal my kids didn’t get for the same reason, every bit of assistance I didn’t receive due to being the wrong skin color.

Democrats' favorite tactic is to make promises that they can't keep and can't finance but it keeps their base hopeful until after they have cast their votes. Everybody now knows that California is broke and digging itself in deeper. Sorry about those reparations but you didn't deserve them anyway.

Over the decades, Blacks have been given all kinds of helping hands (Affirmative Action, lower standards for education etc etc) but they still don't seem to be progressing. In my opinion, it is because of their taught "i am victim" attitude by the society run by Democrats and until they open their eyes and acknowledge that, all the money in the world won't help them. It is time for them to look internally, not externally for the root of their problems.

CA Black Community, if I may offer some advice.
1. The reparations were never real, it was just another vote buying scam.
2. The Dems know that no matter what you say, you will still vote for them. Just check the voting records for the past 50 years.
Hope this helps.

When you train people to expect vote buying,
they will come up with an infinite number of names
for just plain vote buying...
Which, it must never be added, is
ILLEGAL,,,

Well, if they are stupid enough to pay reparations they need to prove they are descended from American slaves and not descendants of slave owners such as Kamala.is.

Does anyone think Newsom is worried. The elections in California are rigged anyway. Anyway, why don't blacks ask for reparations from the people who actually sold them into slavery. Their own, the blacks from the nations of Africa. Slavery was big business there long before America was even founded. You see, that train left the station a long time ago. Total insanity.

Reparations? Ask Walmart how much they've been ripped off. Stores closing in major cities? You got your reparations right there.

They say they have been waiting 400 years. WOW. These folks are REALLY old. and STILL playing the victims. How about getting an education ( free), getting a
job ( they are readily available ), and making believe you are adults. and of course get married if you have children.

When the MAJORITY of Blacks are on Welfare, government assistance programs or criminal incarceration, reparations have been much more than paid. We should demand that overpayment be repaid to the taxpayers!

These are the same black Americans (in California and throughout the country) that are too stupid to realize that Obama and now Kamala have nothing in common with them - not descendants of slaves here in the US and yet they have greatly benefitted from all the AA programs supposedly to help the descendants of US slaves. Morons.

If Kalifornia owes ANYTHING (likely not) to anybody, it would be to the indigenous people and to original Chinese immigrants, who suffered under State law and customs. NOT to Blacks.
