That is ridiculous. If any group of people in this country deserve money owed to them for wrongdoing, is Native Americans.
Why? Most assimilated into a better, more advanced society and civilization. Why would you want to keep them in a Stone Age culture where they continuously fought, murdered and enslaved each other? The current Reservation system just allows them to continue to fail. More money will just make more alcoholics and drug addicts.
Thats because Lemon is paid to be the fool. All he had to say was "well even if that is true, Britain still pillaged resources from these African countries thus making them power and putting money back into the Empire. What do you say about those resources taken, such as precious metals and fossil fuels?"
But again, Lemon is paid to be the fool, not fight back with facts. Unfortunately, so kany people were also fooled by that interaction with the British government member instead of using their brains realizing it was more than slavery.
So does this mean that Italy can be sued if someone had ancestors enslaved, killed, imprisoned by the Romans? Does Egypt owe the decendants of those who physically built the pyramids?
Efforts and funds should be focused on helping those currently being discriminated against in California along with other current issues. Keep in mind Newsom recently suspended money for the homeless where many have drug problems stemming from a history family abuse.
How about Native American tribes. They kidnapped the survivors of battle with other tribes. Not slavery per se, but they were stolen from their families forced to live and work with the new Indian tribe. Maybe they owe reparations to each other for all that?
African tribes did the same.
You can chase this concept right down to the bottom of the rabbit hole.
There isn't a culture on earth that didn't practice a form of slavery at one time or another. Not Liberia. Liberia was created in 1824.
The only takeaway is that the black lobby is extremely powerful today, and is the squeaky wheel currently getting the grease. Ask anyone of Chinese descent whose bloodline was brought over to toil building the railroads.
I think we can expect millions of black Americans and Africans emigrating to Cali for their $232K per person check as this gets closer to implementation. As Cali makes more and more dumb policies like this, it will drive more and more Californians to Phoenix.
That’s fine. Hopefully the migration turns a bunch of states red. I’m ok with packing all the Marxists into California.
It will never happen. Democrats are good at ,"hey look over here strategies," like reparations and Critical Race Theory. The Republican base gets distracted every time. The black population of California is hardly, "the black vote." Reparations is not a carrot dangling over the head of black voters its more of a Muleta to get the bull to drop his head so the kill can be made easier.
Lol the Native Americans already got this in California. The casinos on their reservations bring in as much money as NV casinos and none of this money gets spread across the state. It virtually all stays within each tribe. That's some good reparations to me: https://www.playca.com/tribal-gaming/
But the proceeds are from people who are willingly giving the casinos their money. These are adults who knowingly and willingly gamble. It is not "taking" by the government.
