Activists demand higher payments from California reparations task force: '$200 million' per person
California activists demand millions more for every Black resident than current proposal
By Aaron Kliegman | Fox News
Activists on Saturday demanded that the state of California pay millions of dollars to each Black resident in reparations as a way to make amends for slavery and subsequent discrimination, dismissing the mammoth proposals from California's reparations task force as too little.
The demands were made at a highly explosive official meeting of the task force, which was created by state legislation signed by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2020. The committee was hearing comments from the public as it considers final recommendations to submit to the California Legislature, which will then decide whether to implement the measures and send them to Newsom's desk to be signed into law.
An activist identified as Reverend Tony Pierce was one of the most outspoken people at the gathering, making reference to the famous "40 acres and a mule" promise to former slaves when he took the podium.
"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," said Pierce. "So, the equivocal number from the 1860s for 40 acres to today is $200 million for each and every African-American."

Give them 40 acres of hardscrabble land, and let them make a go of it.
$200 million each? Zimbabwe bucks, maybe.

What's killer here is Blacks are only about 6% of Cali's population. Whites are only 36%, Hispanics 40%, Asian just under 15%.
So who's going to foot the majority of this bill? People who aren't White.
That's not going to go over well. Also tells you this grift is just black supremacist.

These are socialist democrats so you can safely expect the next reparations demand to be for Hispanics(can't just say Spaniards and Mexicans) and of course Native Americans(hey that's me!) who had their land stolen by the White devils...oops, scratch the Spaniards and Mexicans cause they stole the land before the White devils. :pondering: Of course all of this is bullshit because nobody in California stole anything from Blacks and Native Americans weren't actually native to America either.

It will grow to over 80% if this becomes reality.
