California introduces first-in-nation slavery reparations package

The set of bills notably excludes direct cash payments.

SACRAMENTO, California — California state lawmakers introduced a slate of reparations bills on Wednesday, including a proposal to restore property taken by “race-based” cases of eminent domain and a potentially unconstitutional measure to provide state funding for “specific groups.”

The package marks a first-in-the-nation effort to give restitution to Black Americans who have been harmed by centuries of racist policies and practices. California’s legislative push is the culmination of years of research and debate, including 111-pages of recommendations issued last year by a task force.

Other states like Colorado, New York, and Massachusetts have commissioned reparations studies or task forces, but California is the first to attempt to turn those ideas into law.

The 14 measures introduced by the Legislative Black Caucus touch on education, civil rights and criminal justice, including reviving a years-old effort to restrict solitary confinement that failed to make it out of the statehouse as recently as last year.

Even a forecasted massive budget deficit can't stop California from doing stupid things with money it doesn't have.

If my ancestors were enslaved by Viking, Norse, or Dane raiders in Ireland, can I get reparations?

I thought they didn't have the money?  It appears instead they are going to crank out more regulations on businesses.  That will be a big help to Cali's economy.   *****rollingeyes*****

More power to them.  Anyone of color who wishes to be a leech upon society should move to California immediately.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Yep. All Black people should move to California IMMEDIATELY! I will miss them, but it is for the greater good that ALL Black Americans GO TO CALIFORNIA. NOW! While there is still time. Everyone else will just have to hold back the tears watching them go.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

I don't want North Dakota to secede. I can think of a list of States that should kick some others out, though.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
