California Reparations Could See Newsom Give Black Americans $223k Each

[Neonred 3,562]

They need to shut this nonsense talk down right now.  

 

The more this gets built up and speculated about, the worse it will end.

Or, we should all immediately identify as Black so that we can share in the largesse.

looks like it is not a very popular idea in california............

Most Californians oppose cash reparations for slavery. Where does the movement go from here?

Tue, September 12, 2023

 

The idea of payments to Black Americans whose ancestors suffered the injustices of slavery and segregation remains broadly unpopular in California, a new poll finds.

Those findings are a setback for reparations advocates in the liberal state, which is trying to determine whether such payouts are feasible. Because of California’s size, population and
cultural significance, the process is being closely watched across the country.

This is being unfair.

 

1. more Democrats in the poll favor reparations than oppose

 

2. the wrong questuon is being asked. Change it to “do you oppose reparations being paid from  a surtax on wealthy  of Californians” and I am sure “independent” voters would swing in favor.

 

At $300K per black resident, that works out to less than 750 billion dollars. California has 1.1 million households with net worths of over one million dollars. So this works out to under $700,000 per California millionaire household. That’s about what costs to send one of their kids to an out of state school. This is nothing.

 

California's millionaires can easily afford to pay this pittance, and voters of California need to stop shielding these colonizers.

The article did mention that these results are pre Education.

Just curious, did you factor in the CA population loss?

Only millionaires are affected. Why would they leave? The reparations are loose change for them.

I know you are joking, but still it is nuts.

 

I have a net worth of well over a million, but there is no way in hell I'd be willing to pay a couple of hundred thousand no less 700K.  

 

Thank God I don't live there.

I must admit I so hope this happens

 

Which I doubt but with the issues in CA I doubt it is going away.

 

I have not heard more about SF and $5m, I assume this is still on.

Now now, that’s just your inner colonizer talking.

 

VPs at Big Tech pay $200K in taxes to the state of California each year. They can easily take out a second mortgage and pay this off in 2-3  years.

What is so funny is how the Democrat/Left love to re-define words. In reality, those that label themselves "progressive" today or really regressive in their ideology.
