California: Reparations Now Up to $360,000; State Never Allowed Slavery

Joel B. Pollak 5 Mar 2023

California, which entered the Union in 1850 as a free state, is now considering reparations of up to $360,000 per eligible recipient — more than 50% more than the amount  floated as the highest possibility last year.

In December, as Breitbart News reported, a state committee considering reparations heard recommendations that eligible recipients — those descended from former black slaves — could qualify for up to $233,000.

Now, however, that amount has ballooned to $360,000 per recipient, according to Bloomberg News — perhaps under pressure from local efforts in cities like San Francisco, which is considering $5 million per black resident.

It is not clear where the money will come from, as the state has a budget deficit of roughly $25 billion this year, and many cities are also short of money. It is also unclear why California would pay for sins it did not commit.

Obviously this is 'pure insanity'. But, should it actually happen and people essentially win more than a lottery amount simply based on skin color, it will certainly end whatever dreams Newsom has of ever being President.
