Reparations are a good way to right a wrong and I think it should happen in some form, because we haven't righted the wrong yet.
However, as everyone is pointing out here, it is impossible to determine who deserves it and what a fair amount is. I think everyone who has been in poverty deserves some reparations, regardless of history.

But many are going to be out of money within a year!!! Then complain it wasnt enough and expect ot yearly.
I think this is introducing a problem with no end.

Reparations are for those who have been wronged. Many in poverty haven't been wronged but are in poverty because of their life choices. Though I do sympathize with them.

Calm down Karen, as others have said it is NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN.
Stop getting worked up about something that won’t happen or ever impact your life.
whatever the total amount paid in repererations is, that amount should be deducted from any federal funds they get. There is no reason why I, in a different state, should subsidize this lunacy.

How many white people to tue jaked eye will get their DNA tested and move to California?
I think the US Constitution as a ruling on the books for a 1915-1925 case that 1/16 of your DNA / family history qualifies you as a *citizen*. If 1/16 of you relates to a slave, youre in!
It's never going to happen. The estimated amount to be paid if this went through is twice California's annual budget for the state. It's a placating pipe dream. Not to mention the amount of fraudulent claims that will be made. The radicals can make all the demands and threats they want, the money isn't there.
White Americans would rather donate that money to Ukraine than pay black Americans, who's forefathers built this nation.
That speaks volumes.
It says volumes about what white Americans think about Russians. We consider Russians the enemy and will gladly pay money to destroy Russians.
Black Americans feel the same, by the way. Black Americans fully sympathize with Ukrainians who are being terrorized and murdered by invading Russians. Black Americans voted overwhelmingly in the last national election for their tax dollars to be used against Russians. I'd suggest to you that you go ask some black people to confirm that I'm right, but I'm guessing that you don't know any black people, and in general, black people don't like you very much.
And this is why I moved from California. Craziness like this. You've got hundreds of thousands of junkies living on the streets, a water crisis, failing infrastructure, businesses fleeing, but no this is the important issue.
I'm sure this will solve the fake racial issue liberals have created and as soon as reparations are paid everything will be solved and people in California can stop talking about race so much.
Hispanics are already starting to move away from the Democratic party. "Reparations" to blacks would accelerate it even further. Little discussed fact... blacks and Hispanics don't always get along. Hispanics reconquered nearly all of the formerly-black neighborhoods in and around central and south central Los Angeles, sometimes in ways that were not quite peaceful. Blacks are 7% of California's population, Hispanics are over 40%. Paying reparations to blacks is really bad politics for the Dems.
Plus, does anyone think handing $200k checks to every black Californian would improve their communities in a meaningful and permanent way?
How long does a black person have to have residency in CA to qualify for a check?
Unlikely that such a law will be written in a way that will satisfy the current Supreme Court (a good thing). That the report comes from FOX seems significant.
This post is Russian misinformation agents debating with dimwitted conspiracy theorists. Also, it has nothing to do with running. Rojo, Wejo, why nurture this trash on your site?

Why should any of us be responsible for what our ancestors did? Where does it stop? Can all of Asia and Western Europe and the middle east sue Mongolia due to how their Kahns behaved? Name any other culture and time and the same issues persist.
California always strapped for cash too, how they going to pay for this? How many billions is the estimate?
