We live in a clown world.

This shit is insane. How this even has any kind of base or people listening to it blows my mind.

I didn't read much of that, but I can already tell you how it plays out. CA pays the reparations, goes broke, and demands a federal bailout. My initial reaction was how entertaining it would be to watch California try to pull this off, and then collapse financially. But of course, the endgame is to get the federal bailout. Then, the irony would be, all the black taxpayers in all the other states having to pay for California's reparations boondoggle.

It's almost too bad that Gov. Newsom pulled the plug on this. I told my wife this was going to be our windfall retirement money as I was going to change our racial profiles to claim our new heritage and move to CA.

Remember when California was not even a state during slavery days?

For those that think they deserve reparations,....need to come live with me for a few weeks. It's rough at my house.

How do you edit the thread title? I'm unable to figure it out.


From another article that sums up their plans a touch better.

"In a unanimous vote on Tuesday, the 11 members accepted a draft plan of more than 100 reparations recommendations for the city's eligible Black residents. Those proposals include a whopping one-time payment of $5 million to each adult and a complete clearing of personal debt — including credit cards, taxes and student loans. Black residents would also be able to collect an annual income of at least $97,000 for 250 years and buy homes within the city limits for $1."

I guess money trees do exist.

"If reparations are about making amends, then individuals and the institutions who benefited from enslaving people should make the payments. That was Sherman’s plan: the 40 acres promised to each family would have come from 400,000 acres confiscated from former enslavers. Today, some supporters, including The Brookings Institution’s Andre Perry, say that a government that once sanctioned treating people as property bears responsibility, not specific individuals.

Of course, taxpayers would ultimately bear that cost."

a few?

congrats on your melanin!!

[GBelly]

these potential payments seem like a drop in the bucket to what the govt has already given out in the form of housing, food, special programs for only blacks, etc etc etc

at this point, whats another hundred bazillion dollars?

[JimmyD714]

Shouldn't the reparations be paid out by the people who sold them into the slave trade or are we still not allowed to talk about that?

[JABIII]

Imagine the opportunities. The people pushing this know that 85% of reparations money will boomerrang...

No worries 2th…I’m gonna fedex you my cousin’s spit. You submit it to Ancestry.com, then bingo bango we’re headed to Cali. I was against the stimmy checks and am convinced that they contributed to the current inflation. Yet, the majority of democrats and republicans thought it was a good idea. They knew it was good for their political agenda. It’s no different than gangsters giving out free groceries and gifts. Not all money is good money.

Nope. Them bitches broke. I need more than $10 and two goats

[Sportin' Woodies]

Some things are so ridiculous any discussion on the matter only further validates ridiculousness and therefore is in itself ridiculous.
