Look in the dictionary under "racism" and you'll find a description of this exact program.

To no one's surprise, it is conceived and approved by Democrats.

A reparations committee in California has suggested that descendants of slaves in the state could be compensated $223,200 each for 'housing discrimination'.

The nine-member Reparations Task Force was formed by California Governor Gavin Newsom as part of the country's largest ever effort to address reparations for slavery.

A focus of the California task force has been 'housing discrimination' - it has been estimated that it would cost around $569 billion to compensate the 2.5 million Black Californians for setbacks between 1933 and 1977, according to the New York Times.

Why, was CA a slave? Was it a Jim Crow / black codes state?

But they get exclusive rights so it's not just the fact people go there. What if Mexicans had the same thing in California? Or Blacks in Mississippi?

Yep.

Free this or free that, young people will generally swallow it up and vote Dem because of it but once you get a bit older and start making a decent living and you look at your paycheck every pay period and you see how much money is gone, it makes you start to look around a bit.

Telling people that they can get their student loans paid off and pushing other social welfare programs is an easy sell for the low information crowd.

Talk of fiscal responsibility and hard work etc etc doesn't resonate so much. The dems have figured this out, go around offering freebies and of course you'll garner votes.

Notice what the committee members' demographic is? Of course, they are going to recommend a very unrealistic figure in order to enrich themselves. From reading the article the committee is looking at unfair discrimination by the state as far as imminent domain taking of black people's property in the past. Also unfair housing discrimination and other injustices. How this translates into compensating every black individual in California is a mystery. Are they going to compensate a black citizen that recently moved to California the same amount as a black citizen that had an ancestor lose a property decades ago that was worth 3x what the government paid when it was stolen?
