Works best if you can promise and not deliver for numerous election cycles.

There is already contention over this....

Some groups argue that all Blacks in CA get this...not just descendants of slaves.
And, as usual, it's not enough money.
And issues over how proof can be obtained. Remember these are the people that can't get their own birth certificate for ID never mind go back 160+ years.

A state that was not a slave state taxing people who didn't own slaves and giving it to people who were never slaves.

A good way to drive poll numbers up. Just like Biden and student loan forgiveness, promise something that they never intend to happen and gather votes from the brainless bottom feeders.

And we have Shiela Jackson Lee in DC saying she is going to ask Biden to pen an EO to create a national reparation committee.

Would that mean the people in CA get 2 checks ?

Must they prove the blood line and how.

Ancestry.com will get a lot of new people joining.
The bigger question is, how many taxpayers are descendants of non-slave owners. My grandparents all immigrated to America after 1880, long after slavery was abolished. They didn't own slaves. So I would be exempted from paying reparations since my forebears bear no responsiblity for slavery. Descendants of slave owners have to pay triple since I don't have to pay anything.

Right? Right? Bueller?

At the very least, each new black child born in California will also be due a quarter of a million dollars. That African American single mother on welfare is going to be pumping out a kid a year for life, with that kind of guaranteed income.

This in perpetuity. Every new black child born in California has to be given his quarter of a million dollars reparations. Year 2030. 2050. 2100.

The entire US black population would be better off moving to California, so every new child they produce would earn them an easy quarter of a million dollars.

As they say, "Wow! What a deal!"

"A state that was not a slave state taxing people who didn't own slaves and giving it to people who were never slaves."

It bears repeating.

The thing is, reparations in spite of the facts above, are logical. This is sound reasoning. This makes perfect sense.

If you are a woke liberal.

I kid you not.

Your sin is being white. Your very whiteness makes you no different than the most despicable slave-owning tyrant. There is no distinction by the left, between a white person who has spent a lifetime helping African Americans, and a white person in 1840 who abused 100 slaves.

This is moral relativism. Your white guilt is sufficient condemnation to transfer your wealth from those who look like the slave holders of long ago, to those who look like the slaves of long ago.
