'$5 million is too little:' Activists tell California reparations committee to aim higher
Fox News ^ | 3/29/2023 | Aaron Kliegman

Activists on Wednesday demanded that the state of California pay millions of dollars to each Black resident in reparations as a way to make amends for slavery and subsequent discrimination, dismissing the idea of payments of $5 million per person as "nothing" and "too little."

"It's unclear how California would afford to pay more than $5 million to Black residents. Newsom announced in January that the state faces a projected budget deficit of $22.5 billion for the coming fiscal year."

They'll ask the feds for the $$ - and they'll print it up.

Why leave it at $7 million?

Why not ask for 1 trillion dollars instead?

They can ask the feds who will print it up.

It’s like a giant negotiating game, especially in a liberal place like San Franciso, just keep demanding more and see how much you can get.

It’s likely none of reparations will ever get paid.

Because they don’t actually want a ‘payout’ - the activists/terrorists/extortionists get more in the long run from using white guilt to strong arm government and corporations, and keep minorities on their political plantations.

My father's older brother used to tell stories of seeing signs everywhere at work places around Boston saying "No Irish Need Apply".

Where's *my* $5 million?

Soooo giving money to every living black person is going to make up for the trauma of slavery from generations ago? Not one person alive today has experienced slavery in California (except the taxpayers and the trafficked-not that our political class care for either of those). This is beyond stupid but not at all surprising of democrats. They are FULL of stupid ideas and I don’t think there’s a bottom to the stupidity.

Correct no reparations will ever be paid. This is just virtue signaling masturbation.

$10 million won’t be enough, $20 million won’t be enough, $50 million won’t be enough, $100 million won’t be enough, $250 million won’t be enough, $500 million won’t be enough, $10 million won’t be enough, and so on and so forth.

If California opens this can of worms, they will never ever satisfy the “gimmedat you racist white honkeys!” Crowd

California and Newsom have let this insanity go much too far and it’s starting to pick up steam. On the positive side, when middle-class and lower-class Californians finally get word that they will be expected to pay taxes to provide funds to black people who were never slaves in a state which never had legalized slavery, it may end Democrat rule in California for the first time in decades.

I had three renters who got COVID money to pay their rent for about a year. Two of them got addicted to drugs. The other signed up for debt she couldn’t afford without the COVID money. In three years each recipient will be broke or dead.

Why is this different than paying terrorists for hostages?

If they can get away with it the first time what’s to stop them from doing it forever?

ENJOY THE SUCK KALIFORNIA!

Many ethnic groups were treated horribly. Whites were even slaves, and cost much less than African slaves, so white slaves were treated very to badly because they were so cheap to replace if they died. It is claimed that there were as many white slaves as black slaves, and when you look at the enslavement of ethnicities fro. Foreign countries herein the us, one can easily see that while man6 were not “officially called slaves” they were infsct slaves
