In 2021, California initiated its reparation plans for "African Americans" ... "to create a more equitable future". The liberals want to pay blacks for being black. Sounds racist to me! What about pay-outs to whites for being white? White indentured servants were the first slaves in America. Their treatment was so brutal that very few lived to reap the agreed-upon benefits. In 1620, black and white women were kidnapped and sold to men in the "colonies".
Years later, African, British and French trades sold blacks to American planta-tion owners. When Pres. Lincoln freed slaves, many "plantation slaves" received 40 acres and a mule" in reparations. White, indentured slaves and other black slaves were not so fortunate. In 1865, the 13th Amendment was ratified to officially and specifically free "slaves" and "indentured servants" without refer-ence to color. Mexican cartels have been selling women and children into a lifetime of horrific sex-slavery. Why not use part of the so-called windfall money to rescue them and to pay them as they attempt to recover in current time?
California Democrats want to take money from people who never owned slaves and give it to people who have never been slaves. A strategic task force was formed. After two years, it settled on $1.2-million per qualified person. How it came to that conclusion is spelled-out in a recent "Politico" article. Warning: It makes for tedious reading. The inferred/pseudo-promises will be more publicly discussed as the Nov. 2024 election draws closer. Final decisions will not be given before then; hence, hopeful blacks will not vote for Republicans.
