California Reparations Committee Demands $5 Million For Planning Alone
Story by Robert Schmad - DCNF • 17h •


A task force charged with studying anti-black racism and developing a reparations payment plan says it needs millions of dollars and two more years to finish its job, according to KQED.

The Alameda County Reparations Commission was formed in 2023 with a budget of $51,000 to determine how the Bay Area county can pay out reparations to black Americans harmed by the legacy of slavery, KQED reported.
 
Behind schedule and claiming to be underfunded, the commission is now asking for $5 million in funding, an additional two years to complete its work and dedicated staff to help with its mission.

“$5 million and two years to research [reparations] is stupid and a grift,” local pro-reparations activist Seneca Scott said, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

California’s eagerness for reparations programs has faded in recent months, with San Francisco sidelining a similar plan to compensate black residents for the purported harms of slavery and opting to issue an official apology to African-Americans on behalf of the city. California’s state legislature isn’t even considering cash transfers to African Americans, instead mulling proposals like subsidized property taxes and expedited business licenses for blacks, according to the Free Beacon.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I think a mule, a cow, a couple of acres of land in Alaska, and some personal bling would do the job. :pondering:

how about just re-patriating all of the whiners who would probably not even be alive if African chiefs and moslems hadn’t sold their ancestors into slavery.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Not to mention that only 4% of the transatlantic slave trade came the the budding colonies and the US. Why not 'hit up' the other 96%?

(Remember, the first slave owner here was a black man--aside from the slaves the Indians had.)

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.
