California’s reparations task force has approved recommendations which could give black residents $1.2million each as compensation for slavery and discrimination.

The nine-member committee voted Saturday to approve proposals on how the state can compensate and apologize for generations of harm caused by discriminatory policies.

A black resident in California who has lived in the state their whole life until the age of 71 could receive more than $1.2million in compensation, if the recommendations are forged into law.

But residents who attended the official meeting in Oakland hit out at the estimated costs of reparations, which some believe it is 'nowhere near enough,' demanding $200million direct cash payments to individuals instead.

California became the first state to form a reparations task force in September 2020 following national protests over the death of George Floyd who was killed by a white Minneapolis Police officer.

ts final report is to be sent to lawmakers before July 1 where it will forecast compensation estimates calculated by several economists the group is working with.

The amount these reparations would cost the state were not outlined in the report but previous calculations from economists predicted it could cost around $800billion- more than twice California’s approximate $300 billion annual budget.

The report suggests that the amounts, based on what has been lost to specific types of racial discrimination, should be paid back to black residents.

This includes $2,352 lost per person per year for the over-policing and mass incarceration of black communities and $3,366 per person per year of residence between 1933 and 1977 for 'discriminatory lending and zoning'.

And $13,619 per person per year of residence in California for 'injustices and discrimination in health' and $77,000 per person for black-owned business losses and devaluations is included in the figure.

This means a lifelong black California resident aged at least 71 could receive more than $1.2million in compensation.

But the 100 residents and activists who gathered at the meeting were not impressed with the calculations in the report.

Reverend Tony Pierce aired his frustration and pointed to the country's 'broken promise' to offer 40 acres and a mule to newly freed slaves.

He said: 'You know that the numbers should be equivocal to what an acre was back then. We were given 40, OK? We were given 40 acres.

'You know what that number is. You keep trying to talk about now, yet you research back to slavery and you say nothing about slavery, nothing.

'So, the equivocal number from the 1860s for 40 acres to today is $200 million for each and every African-American.'


He then hit out at the panel for not being ambitious enough with the reparations plan.

'You're not supposed to be afraid,' he added. 'You're just supposed to tell the truth. You're not supposed to be the gatekeepers. You're supposed to say what the people want and hear from the people.'

is this real life?

People thought the deficit was bad now lol. They’ll blow threw that in no time and will be protesting and looting till they get their other 198.8 million

Democracy at an all time high now that the plebs have figured out they can vote to give themselves money.

I wonder how many of the people on that board are ******s? I give them 40 acres as long it’s in another country.

good. i hope all blacks move there to collect

A panel that is almost entirely black people, just lol @ thinking this will ever pass, these people have no real power.

I wonder how all the Asians and Mexicans living in that state feel about this

not like it's going to happen but still, imagine your taxes going to this

Did the Fed give California a money printer?

So after they buy 10 pairs of Jordans, a Lambo and crack for a year, they'll simply come ask for more "reparations".

Then what?

When the run out of bananas they will be back for more from the zoo keepers

Lots of latinos are pissed saying chit like "I came here to work hard for my money, what is this bullchit?"

Dems are doubling down so hard on blacks, it might wind up costing them the latino vote if they aren't careful.

strong panel

We needs repeatarations!

I identify as black and if u want me to prove it you’re a racist fascist nazi piece of ****

"It was never nearly enough, we need 1.2 million every year for 200 years or you're all systemic racists!"

*200 years later

"We need new reparations!"

I hope it passes.

I think its age-based so older people will get more than younger people...there should be a carnival of crime that would happen if it does. If you think black on black crime is bad now, wait till some 65yo gets 1M living next door to a 25yo who gets 30K.

Cali deserves it.

Quoted for truf.

This demographic gets pumped and dumped for votes and forgotten for 3.5 years/4

Slaves to the democrat party, just like the good old days, right democrats?

No it's clickbait, and people they only people who still talking about reparations are a few weirdo virtue signaling liberals, and conservates looking to cry like their victims.

INB4 they spend it all, are still broke, and complain "it wasn't enough" the 1st time

they have learned from the natives

Damn, I also grew up in Cali. When will it be mine turn for $1.2 million? Accelerationists are salivating right now.

Imagine wanting to give compensation to some lardass for something that happened over a millennia to his great great nanny. Joggers should be offended by being treated like pathetic retards rather than fuming about some word all the time.

By that logic half of Europe should ask Turkey for money due to how Ottomans were stealing slavic kids to be slaves over the span of 400 years.

Nah.

We just want to get paid.

Srs.

Nobody gives af about politics.

Now pay me, bitch.

What would realistically happen if they did give them reparations?

Jews and other slime balls will set up businesses around these communities to get all those reparations and then in a year or two black people will be looting and violently lashing out at whitey again for more money

dude that's what i was wondering. imagine living in florida when you're black brothers in cali are getting 1.2 mil lol


imagine living in the border in oregon. you have a menial job and shoot the chit with a bum in california that does drugs and alcohol all day. meanwhile he's about to get a 1.2 mil pay day for nothing while you go back to your chitty job

also, i very, very much doubt it happens

based.

huh? Over 70% of blacks want it(Probably over 80). Obama wants it since 2020.Blacks are by far the biggest special interest group for the future because they will vote like crazy and will vote 95% one way

i want money from those fuking anti-semites in ukraine. they should be forced to tun all their money over to jews worldwide and forced to give their land to russia. no place for nazis on this planet in 2023.
