Activists Demand ‘$200 Million for Each and Every African American’ in California

Reparations for black residents in California are forecasted to cost $800 billion — more than twice the cost of the state’s entire annual budget, but activists say that is not enough.

Last night, the task force approved recommendations for reparation payments, which are due to the state legislature by July 1, Breitbart reported. The nine-member task force called on lawmakers to make a formal apology for slavery and also requested that those eligible will receive “cash down payments.” The task force was assembled two years ago following George Floyd being killed by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. California was the first state to assemble a reparations task force.

If passed, a black resident, older than 71, would be eligible to receive more than $1.2 million in reparations, as reported by Fox.

But during last night’s meeting, an activist known as Rev. Tony Pierce called out the task force for being fearful of getting the black community what they really deserve.

“You know that the numbers should be equivocal to what an acre was back then. We were given 40, OK? We were given 40 acres. You know what that number is. You keep trying to talk about now, yet you research back to slavery and you say nothing about slavery, nothing,” said Pierce. “So, the equivocal number from the 1860s for 40 acres to today is $200 million for each and every African-American.”

Pierce was joined by former Black Panther Party chairwoman Elaine Brown, who called for people to turn to demonstrations, as reported by the DailyMail.

Aaron Kliegman of Fox News reported that:
These estimates include, for example, losing $2,352 per person per year of California residence for the over-policing of Black communities, $3,366 per person per year of residence for “discriminatory lending and zoning,” $13,619 per person per year of residence for “injustices and discrimination in health” and $77,000 per person for Black-owned business losses and devaluations.
While the task force’s report is just estimates, leaving it up to lawmakers to come up with tangible numbers, the task force was not instructed to identify funding sources for the reparations, according to California Justice Department officials.

The city of San Francisco sanction reparations committee has recommended every black resident be allocated $5 million, as reported by the Associated Press (AP).

Can you just imagine what CA would look like if they even gave $10,000 to each Black person? It would be wild week as everyone would be buying cars and parting it up like no tomorrow.

They need to get the business community involved. Black people should be able to pass on vouchers. Just go to a vehicle dealership, and give them a voucher for a vehicle. After all, 7 generations ago, some black people were supposedly victimized by the slave trade.

Go to a bank, and give them a voucher for a home.

Go to Tiffany's, and get blinged out, for free.

Meanwhile, at the source of all this slavery, Africa , all the descendants of the warlords who made people slaves,
the slave traders who sold their own people down the river, and all the black ship's captains, who had a 65% mortality rate; all those Africans. who caused the need, for reparations, are laughing at us...

Not to mention the Hispanic community that also did a lot of the hard work in CA and was subject to some pretty bad oppression.

'Greetings, Fellow Persons Of Color!' Says Justin Trudeau Arriving In San Francisco
Sky Motor vehicle Vehicle Rolling stock Public transport

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been spotted in town after hearing the proposed payment of $5 million (now $200 million) in reparations for all black people. The otherwise pasty, white Prime Minister appeared to have painted his entire body with black paint.

"Greetings, my fellow persons of color. What's crack-a-lackin' my homies? Haha you feel me?!" said Justin Trudeau bursting inside the city council meeting and awkwardly trying to shake hands with a complete stranger. "I hear that all us colored folks are due to get ($200 million) a piece. Am I in the right spot to pick it up or what, cuh?"

"As a lifelong black man and black resident of San Francisco, I think I speak for all us black folk when I say it's time for these whites to pay up!" continued Justin Trudeau failing to read the room. "So who's ready to go buy some Cadillacs and listen to Little Wayne?"

According to sources, many of the attendees who were actually black and actually city residents found themselves somewhat amused by this strange racist white guy from the North, but refused to entertain his request for reparations.

At publishing time, the city council meeting could take no more and had Justin Trudeau escorted from the premises after he said, "Pippity poppity, give me the zoppity!"

However, Northern California would like to succeed from LA and the southern part of the state. There is still a modicum of sanity in that part and it's beautiful.
It's sad what was done in the past with slavery. But that has nothing to so with modern times. This is a waste of OUR tax dollars. The govt needs to stop keeping the black population in poverty. They need to go back to the workfare system.

And it has little to do with CA historically. CA was never a slave state. There was a bit of illegal slavery, but it generally lost out when it ever came to court.

That's because Newsome can't say how he'll FUND those Reparations. With all the decent working folks bailing out on him and his cronies, everybody is trying to catch their breath, trying to gauge how much of a tax base Cali has left.

I suspect California's political criminals are planning for a federal bailout, sometime in the not so distance future, in order to pay for this insanity.

One- At the time, slavery was an accepted practice throughout the ENTIRE WORLD; the United States was NOT an exclusive practitioner.

Two- The first legally recognized slave owner in America was a BLACK tobacco farmer named Anthony Johnson.

Three- There are many nations throughout the middle east and Africa, who CONTINUE to practice slavery TO THIS DAY.

Four- America is the only nation to fight a CIVIL WAR, killing 850,000 of it's own Citizens, to END SLAVERY!!

BOTTOM LINE:

THIS "BILL" HAS BEEN PAID IN FULL WITH THE BLOOD OF OUR CITIZENS!! NOW SHUT THE F*** UP AND GET A JOB INSTEAD OF EXTORTING MONEY FROM THOSE OF US WHO WORK!

You left out three points. Slavery is also alive and well in many parts of Asia as well. Also White people didn't go find black people to be slaves, they were sold by other black people. White people along with most other races have also been the victims of slavery in parts of the world. Slavery is not unique to black people.

Reparations were set by Abraham Lincoln in Field Order 15: Every freed slave was to get 40 acres of farmland and a mule. When Lincoln was killed, President Andrew Johnson rescinded that order. I'm against reparations, but if it has to happen, I think any family who can prove they are at least 50% descended from slaves should get the land and the mule. It's only right! I pity the mules...

Another alternative is "OK, we'll give you some negotiated (nowhere near $200 million) reparations, given in installments, but there are conditions to keep getting the installments.
  • You stay out of trouble: No criminal convictions, no violent protests.
  • You get tested for drugs periodically and you stay clean.
  • If you father a kid, you stay with the baby momma and you support them.
  • If you are minor, you stay in school and maintain at least a B average.
  • And most of all, for now and for evermore, you STFU about race!!!
Important note: For those of you for whom it is not obvious (and I have had a serious reaction before, believe it or not), this is facetious!
