California Reparations Spark Concern Over
White People Possibly Qualifying

Under a bill signed by Governor Gavin Newsom in 2020, California is looking into possible ways to provide restitution to Black Americans who experienced the generational effects of slavery—and the state's reparations plan might potentially benefit White-identifying individuals, some analysts have said. A nine-member Reparations Task Force was deployed to to travel across the state and develop reparation recommendations and propose solutions to its findings, which take into account the harms that Black people suffered. In a March 2022 report, the task force said that those eligible for reparations should be descendants of enslaved African Americans or of a

This is so absurd, words (almost) fail. I like the fact that not only did any of the current recipients suffer under slavery, but the taxpayers paying for this were largely not even citizens of this country during slavery. Why the heck are they paying for the sins of a few white Southerners who lived a century and a half ago. Ridiculous doesn't even begin to describe this morass of idiocy.

This is going to be a very expensive idiotic idea. Just figure most of the money will go to fraud. What could go wrong. This is a solution for the people responsible for fighting to keep slavery to ease their guilty conscience at taxpayers expense.

When are current Americans going to get credit for the 500,000 white men who died fighting the Civil War? What about the $20-26 Trillion taxpayer money (estimates vary) spent on welfare of every sort paid to blacks, affirmative action which denied qualified Whites from jobs, college admittance, etc.? I am so sick of minorities demanding obeisance and cash from the rest of us for the sufferings of previous generations. My ancestors were poor discriminated against Irish Catholics, dirt poor Italians; where do I apply for reparations, the EU?

I wonder if these ignorant racists even realize that Blacks were not the only slaves in America, there were Whites slaves, Native American slaves, and others all of whom who experienced the generational effects of slavery. They just don't wear it on their sleeves, use it as a source of political power to beat down on a particular race of people that had nothing whatsoever to do with it today, or as an excuse to extort more free stuff. Their ancestors dealt with it, made peace with it and got over it along time ago.

FTA: task force was able to determine 12 areas of harm "identified as the lingering effects of slavery," Those areas are enslavement, racial terror, political disenfranchisement, housing segregation, separate and unequal education, racism in environment and infrastructure, pathologizing the Black family, control over creative cultural and intellectual life, stolen labor and hindered opportunity, an unjust legal system, mental and physical harm and neglect, and the wealth gap. Stolen labor and hindered opportunity...many ethnics qualify under that. As noted by #5 has it pegged. And it continues to this day with various "affirmative action" programs and those Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Lawyers will be standing by waiting for the calls. Those descendants of coolie labor in California might be eligible. The Japanese interns of WW2, too. And let's not forget Mexicans...

I've always said, you put money on claiming their Black ancestors and you'll see how many people in the South know they have them, and will be happy to claim them. As an anthropology professor at Florida State University said in the 1970s, "If your family has been living in the South since before the Civil War, your are not bi-racial, you are tri-racial, no matter what your skin color." Maybe there have be a genetic percentage, say, more than half your DNA comes from Sub-Saharan Africa, sort of like blood quantum, but different. Of course, this will depend of which test is run by which company.

None of the areas in the study that describe the "harm" caused by pre-emancipation slavery have anything to do with the conditions of actual slavery. They were all the result of institutional and cultural attitudes that discriminated against black people over more than a century. A more honest proposal would be to identify all groups, including Eastern Europeans, Irish, Italian, Jews, Hispanics, Appalacian whites, Amish, Mormons, and all other cultural groups who experienced the same discrimination in terms of employment, housing, medical care, etc., and redistribute wealth to achieve "equity" with the dominant ethnicity. This is the goal of "redistributive justice". The problem is that almost everyone in America belongs to one or another of these groups and it really just becomes a question of which economic class people are currently in today rather than their history. If you want to redistribute wealth to benefit society at least be honest about your objective and not pretend some group "deserves" it more than others.

Lots and lots of white folks were enslaved, especially by Muslims in N. Africa. The whole US war against the "Barbary Pirates" has been miscast, and misreported. These were MUSLIM pirates, who raided the south and western coasts of Spain and up into west coastal France and the southern coastal areas of England to capture slaves for sale in their slave markets. And where do we go to get our reparations? No where, but we are told to love all Muslims and that regardless of all their modern warring against us, we should let lots more of them move here. ALL kinds of people were enslaved in times past. That is PAST. Get over it. No handouts to people who never were a slave from people who never owned a slave.

Everyone on this planet has an ancestor was a slave at some point and also has an ancestor who was a slave owner at another point. The importation of Africans into this country was easily the most costly mistake this country ever made. Without that, we would only need half the prisons, cops and judges we pay for now and would not have had that bloody war. It would have been cheaper in the long run to have paid college graduates to pick the cotton.

Keeping in mind that wealth redistribution is a globalist goal, "reparations" could be seen as a not very subtle vehicle for redistributing wealth away from Americans who never owned slaves, to Americans who never were slaves. What does Biden's imported poverty since his first day in office have in common with higher prices for energy, gasoline, and leaving behind military equipment behind in Afghanistan? They all redistribute wealth away from Americans and benefit some other group. What happened when the administration forced Americans to be vaccinated, while threatening doctors not to treat Covid patients with Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine? People were fired from their jobs, and unable to earn incomes. Many older people died, while younger people suffered from side effects caused by the vaccines. Yet on his first day in office, Biden INVITED illegal aliens to come to the US. We still have a shortage of baby formula, but an ample supply remains available to illegal aliens rushing our border. What is behind baby formula manufacturers in the US being unable to meet the demand? Why are Americans still having to use expensive gas, driving for hours looking for formula? In big ways and less obvious ways, it appears there's an effort to drain away wealth from Americans, whether it's higher food prices or other forms of inflation. Even the organized theft by mobs raises prices for Americans. Since Biden's arrival, American wealth seems to be going in only one direction. It's ending up in someone elses pocket.

On the count of three, everybody go back to their historical homeland. 1, ... 2, ... 3! This great idea will give every country in the world a civil war over WHOSE homeland it actually is. The "solutions" being presented by the woke generation are even more facile and likely to have results opposite of their stated intentions than those of the hippie movement, half a century ago.

No matter how much wealth, money, land etc. is paid out, it will NEVER BE ENOUGH ! You are not a slave, at least not in the context being used in this situation. Additionally, you have NEVER been a slave, in the same context and you do not know anyone who is or has been or owned a slave. I have never owned a slave, have never known a slave, have never known ANYONE who owned a slave, and WHATEVER happened in the past for EVER HOW LONG a period of time, I had NOTHING to do with it and neither did you. Hence, I do NOT OWE YOU you a thing for what took place long ago !
