Who is going to pay this?
Also, didn’t we already pay the blacks? Like, through welfare and so on?
A California task force studying the long-term effects of slavery and systemic racism on black residents in the state has estimated a whopping $569 billion in reparations is owed to the descendants of enslaved people, according to a report.
The nine-member panel concluded that black Californians whose ancestors were in the US in the 19th century are due $223,200 each due to housing discrimination practices utilized from 1933 to 1977, the New York Times reported.
The work of the Reparations Task Force, which was created by legislation Gov. Gavin Newsom signed in 2020 — and the potential payouts –represent the largest reparations effort in recent history.
“We are looking at reparations on a scale that is the largest since Reconstruction,” Jovan Scott Lewis, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who is one of the nine members, told the Times.
The task force hopes to shrink the wealth gap between white and black Californians.
Nationwide, black households have a median wealth of $24,100, which pales in comparison to white households, where the median wealth is $188,200, according to the most recent Federal Reserve Board Survey of Consumer Finances, cited by the paper.
A history of housing discrimination against black Californians makes up a significant portion of the compensation the panel recommends. Several black communities were bought out or seized through eminent domain to be bulldozed for infrastructure projects, according to the panel’s findings.
The government often offered black homeowners less money than what they paid to purchase their houses and forced them out, the Times reported.
We always knew this reparations thing was real as soon as they started talking about it maybe 5 or so years ago. Before that, it was a fringe idea (like transsexualism), then all of a sudden the media started acting like it was something serious.
When the media starts seriously shilling something, you’re on a countdown. Basically, the public can be convinced to go along with anything if the media says it enough times.
This is why the media freaks the hell out when Andrew Anglin shows up on Twitter. The media is the main censor, and no one is allowed to question the media because if people do then the whole machine stops working. They don’t have any responses to questions like: “didn’t we already pay them through welfare and affirmative action though?”
I wish I had white privilege so o had $188,000 in wealth. I also wish I had black privilege so I could get tax payer money for doing nothing. However, I’m just an average, white man who busts his ass to provide for his family. So I will get nothing.

Who’s gonna post the income graph showing US Jews, Indians, North Africans, Nigerians, Chinese, Koreans etc. earn more than US Whites?
Are they oppressing US Whites who are WAY down the list?

No, it’ll be like the $21 trillion we’ve put into the War on Poverty.
Money down the drain.
