Chair of California reparations committee demands a 'Bureau of African American Affairs' to arrange payments of up to $225,000 per person, ahead of group's public meeting today
2022-12-15
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Because that's worked so well for the American Indians?
  • The chair of California's reparations committee has hit out at reports that the group is planning to give out $225,000 to every black person in the state

  • Kamilah V. Moore said that the money is the 'maximum' and only applies to people who suffered housing discrimination between 1933 and 1977

  • The committee deciding which California residents will receive reparations and how much they will receive will have final meetings Wednesday and Thursday

  • A task force was set up in California to make proposals for slavery reparations

  • Nearly 6.5% of California residents - 2.5M - identify as Black or African American

#11  More than likely we have all had ancestors who were slaves. The Romans, muslims , vikings etc really didn't give a damn what race you were when conquering and taking slaves.

#8  ^ This. All these schemes are about transferring wealth, with the "designated victims" acting only as conduits.

#6  Come on, who imagined that a state which never had slavery would take money from people who never owned slaves and give it to people who never were slaves without a new, huge bureaucracy. Did I mention well (exorbitantly) funded?
