California Democratic state Sen. Steven Bradford is warning African Americans not to get their “hopes up” for massive reparations payments from the state.
Bradford’s message comes after the California Reparations Task Force recommended over the weekend that the state pay up to $1.2 million in reparations to each eligible Black resident.
The state lawmaker, who served on the task force, claimed that it’s possible that Black residents could receive cash payments “if the money’s there,” but argued that receiving million dollar checks in repayment for historical discrimination is “not happening.”
The reparations panel held a public meeting in Oakland, California, on Saturday and voted on the final set of recommendations to be sent to the state’s legislators.

Earlier estimates predicted reparations could end up costing as much as $800 billion, while California’s total annual state budget is roughly $300 billion.

Dare we hope that African Americans finally reject being Democrat cannon fodder? Or does that go along with all the other dysfunction of that community?
Listen, it’s not about Reparations.
Who would steal from those who work, never owned slaves, to give to people that have never been slaves? You’re just making a new class of slaves, called TAX SLAVES.
Nope. This is about control and grift. I wish California the best with there State goals. You can bet that those people will export to a cheaper tax state faster than you can say ‘California’ as soon as the checks clear. I mean, what could go wrong with this plan, ROFLOL.
He should say “here’s realism... 600,000 Americans lost their lives in an effort to end slavery... debt has been paid... get over yourselves, you did not endure slavery”
Reparations are not happening. Illegal.
I’m sure the millions of Asians and Latinos in California will only be too happy to pony up more of their hard earned money to give blacks reparation payments. This won’t end well for California.
If this should happen will it be considered earned or unearned income and used to offset the deficit?
That’ll get ‘em going.
They’re literally demanding more money than there is. Wish in one hand...
Where be my check, beatch?
They should be paying “reparations” to us for how much each one of them cost us in taxes over the past 175 years. Afterall, they all could be sitting in a hut in Africa that once belonged to their ancestors. None of them would have multimillion dollar contracts or wearing Nikes and driving Mercedes, Audis and Jaguars.
They’ll be back....for more.....and more....and.......
Black reparations to the rest of America should include the cost of a total rebuild of all the trashed American cities and a repayment of all social program benefits paid out for the last sixty years.
I’d be happy to write them a check with six or seven figures on it. All of them zeroes.
Earlier estimates predicted reparations could end up costing as much as $800 billion, while California’s total annual state budget is roughly $300 billion.
How about 0 figure checks?
aka FREE STUFF!
Just another attempt to keep the black man down. /s
They need whatever extra money they have to take care of the illegals. They are giving them your phone, and spending cash, as we speak.
I’d be happy to buy them a one-way first-class ticket to the African nation of their origin.
With one bomb you can cause more inflation, boost Chinese product sales volume, and intensify racial animosities among the people.
"BOOM!" (in Chinese accent).
Comrade Fung Poo-Ding will be getting his briefcases of cash past customs and into the booger fingertipped hands of American politicians quick and slick.
