CA wasted money on this "study" but Newsome said(surprisingly) they won't pay. Now our stupid state will waste money on this bullshit topic. Our cunt likes to outdo everyone else so it wouldn't surprise me that after the study comes out she agrees to pay

Do we get a discount for that whole... you know, railroad thing?

Nope. In NY, you get penalized for doing the right thing.

 

[TEOTWAWKI inc.]

Will they exploit peoples labor (through punitive taxes and fees) to cover said reparations?

Sounds in itself a little bit like slavery.

Will I get a discount on my taxes because our house was used in the Underground Railroad ?

I'm trying the find the opt out form because my ancestors didn't arrive at Ellis Island until the early 1900's.

I have ancestors that fought and died in both the Revolution and Civil War. My reparations are paid in full.

These people were never slaves and we were never slave holders. Just because someone was a slave 150 years ago doesn’t make them intitled to anything now.

It is just a cover story for the Communist idea of "redistribution of Wealth."

"A fool and his money are quickly separated"....PT Barnum

Give them reparations.........................and will simply see all that cash flowing down to entrepreneurs, con artists and crooks................leaving the in the same state as before..................

Ahead of huge Mega Millions drawing, how these lottery winners became big losers

These lottery winners hit the jackpot — only to see their lives fall to pieces as a result.

The morons who win and lose the cash,are a testament to our idiotic pop Culture and under-education.

44 billion lost to gambling in 2021...and the house always wins, and scratch off addicts get dirty fingers.

Worse than junk news....

 

[FrankenCub]

So are the original black salesmen who sold their own people into slavery going to be footing this bill?
My ancestors didn't have anything to do with slavery.

Another politically motivated commission leading into a national presidential campaign. Yeah........okay.

Newsome knows it will bankrupt CA and let’s face most people who would get reparations already vote for Newsome. He doesn’t care becuase it won’t get him votes and that’s the bottom line.

9 Extreme Progs will be appointed. Gee, I wonder what they'll decide.

Ran some numbers earlier today. 2.5 people million getting $500K each ends up over $1.2T.

 

[Rocpo]

Send the bill to the descendants of the people who sold slaves they took after tribal wars.

I'm direct descendent of Leonard Loftin arrived second settlement Henrico Virgina around 1615 - 1625. Documented 5 yrs indentured service to woman from England on a tobacco plantation. Was given 200 acres upon satisfaction of his servitude. The rest is history. Where's my reparations?

Fredrick Douglass came thru Delaware County, Tredwell, 1838. Now as with then, The Under Ground Railroad is so named because when Democrats found out "we" were helping Blacks escape Democrats slavery, Democrats burnt our houses down.

How about this, piss the F off on all of this. Seriously, get over this shit already.

Not one single American is deserving of these freaking "reparations", not a single one.

Not a single American is on the hook to give any one this kind of funding.

I do not care if your people were here at the beginning of the Country. I do not care if your ancestors owned other humans. Makes no difference if your people came here in the 1900's or the 2000's. I do not care if your Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfather was owned by someone else's Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfather. I do not care if that person was beaten, chained or killed. I do not care. No one alive today in the US was a slave, no one alive today in the US was a slave owner. Not a single person alive in the US today participated in the Slave trade.

Stop using the past for the excuses of the present. There is no systematic racism in the US. It is a made up narrative. It is absolute Bullshit. No one group is being oppressed.

Holy shit and for real, enough of this bullshit.

Yeah agree completely unfortunately our "representives" seem to think otherwise

 

[EMSBronco]

Many Republican lawmakers spoke about why they voted against the bill, expressing a variety of reservations including the fact that the legislation provided no appointments to the commission for Republicans who are in the minority in both the Senate and the Assembly.

So, only one party has a say on this commission? WTF?
This is starting to sound like taxation without representation...

 

[Zerex]

I won't pay.

 

[SonOfSun]

Reparations for what exactly?

Slavery? You weren't a slave. I didn't own any slaves. You want money from me because a long time ago someone who looked like you, but wasn't you was owned by someone that looked like me, but wasn't me? Get the fuck out of here.
