#1 This should become interesting, and very quickly.

#2 "That's chump change! Are you suckers gonna settle for a measly $1.2 million? When I am elected, every deserving resident of the great State of California will receive $2.5 million dollars. The other guys just want to put you in chains. Vote for me and I'll set you free!"

Yeah, this should be fun.

#3 So a state that never allowed slavery, is forcing people that never owned a slave, to pay people that never were a US slaves. What about the estimated
1.2 + Million African immigrants that came to the west coast, after slavery ended? Why them also?

#4 ^ Logic and consistency are not any part of the liberal agenda.

#5 Lots of trumpeting what an advisory committee is proposing, but what odds of it actually getting passed by the legislature and signed into law? And what will happen to special interest support of the California Democratic party if it fails after all the hype?

#6 ^ The liberal dream is pretty much everything being dictated by unelected apparatchiks.

#7 #5 "Just the beginning". When someone tells you they intend to inflict serious harm upon you, believe them. Again, the issue is not whether this will actually be implemented. The issue is, what will be the reaction on the part of the most violent demographic in our society when they realize they aren't gonna get jack after having been promised it? Well, instead of reparations based on treasure, they just might seek to gain it in blood. What have they got to lose?

#8 Here's a bill for all the civilizational damage done, social safety net spending, crimes & incarceration costs, wasted school spending that the black community owes us.

What's that you say? You weren't personally guilty of any of that? I could say the same about my white ass. FOAD on reparations.

#10 Once you have agreed that you are due money, then everything else is a negotiation about how much and when. Failure to deliver what was "promised" will result in the BlackBloc tactic of "No Justice, No Peace". The people in question generally have a very poor understanding of actual government structure, law or history, but they understand SNAP, MediCal, and Welfare.

As an aside, a real opportunity for California based genealogical research, with emphasis on creative writing, is researching the family history of slavery.

#11 Since the death of Jesus, Christians have been periodically slaughtered and sometimes been suggested to poor quality television. My committee believes that a $1T per month is just compensation unless I overspend at Christmas and run short of cash. These are my demands. If they are not met, I will continue to generate similes that include Gilligan’s Island and Scooby Doo.

#12 California faces $22 Billion deficit this year. (Before the repatriations idiocy)

#13 Our governor and legislators are stupid enough to do it.

#14 #11 The particular unit I belong to have long relied on forced viewing of "Hello Larry!". Works like a charm.

#15 Maybe California is implementing the $1.2 million reparations on the installment plan. One retail store at a time. Early birds get the designer handbags and Air Jordans.

#16 It will never be a enough.

#17 Note: African Americans, constituted 5.8% , or about 2,282,144 residents in California.

Roughly 6.5% or 148,339.36 of that 2,281,144 total are 70+ in age

148,339.36 Blacks at 70+ year old x$1,200,000.00 Reparations = $178,007,232,000.00

The actual 2022 California State Revenue collected was just $180,000,000,000.

Which means California will have just under $2 Billion to run the 2024 State Government left over.

Hell, they can't even do it now with $200 Billion now, w/o begging DC for Taxpayer $$$$

#18 They should pass a resolution on congress saying that California will not be bailed out. Maybe that'll restore some sense to the fools.

#19 Hello Larry is cruel and inhuman. ALF would take it up to 11.
