Pioneer1 Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 As mentioned before, this entire "show" about the state of California granting it's Black residents Reparations is a big trick-bag. An old "banana in the tail pipe" routine! First of all, the ENTIRE NATION owes AfroAmericans Reparations....not just California....so they are in no position as a state to singularly give out Reparations money. Besides, California wasn't a slave state anyway. (it is NOW with the highest prison population of any other state in the nation). I believe it's a TRAP to suck more Black folks from other parts of the U.S. into California to become residents of that state.....where they'll meet their demise. They KNOW if they state passing out Reparations money or better yet PROMISE to pass out Reparations checks....thousands of desperate Black folks from around the nation will come flocking there and set up residency hoping to get a check. That's the trap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the trap. Those thousands of Black folks looking for a reparations check probably cannot afford to move to and take up residency in Cali. It's an expensive place to live for working class folks. The shelters and streets are already crowded with homeless people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardmurray Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 Well from the article I read, the representatives of california didn't say they did it for slavery. I paraphrase, they did it for reconstruction and post reconstruction. And since the usa is a federation states are individual. https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2216&type=status Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
