(ZH) "california taxpayers may be on the hook for as much as $223,200 for each descendant of slavery living in the golden state, in order to compensate them for "housing discrimination," according to the new york times.
"the nine-member reparations task force, formed by california governor Gavin Newsom, has been focusing on ways to counter the claimed housing discrimination. overall reparations would cost approximately $569 billion to compensate the roughly 2.5 million black californians for 'setbacks' between 1933 and 1977 - eclipsing the state's $512.8 billion expenditure in 2021.
"'we want to see the land and economic wealth stolen from black families all across this country returned,' said activist Kavon Ward.
"the panel is still mulling how payments should be made - with some suggesting tuition and housing grants, while others are suggesting cash. final figures will be released in a 2023 report, which would then be up to the state legislature to act upon the recommendations and figure out how to fund them.
"they have also identified four other reasons for reparations - mass incarceration, unjust property seizures, devaluation of black businesses and health care. The $223,200 figure only applies to housing discrimination.
"we are looking at reparations on a scale that is the largest since reconstruction,' task force member Jovan Scott Lewis, a berkeley professor, told the times.
GRA: Paid for being black. Incredible. Guess the Whites will know which houses to rob now--just look in the window, and if you see White choppers smiling at you--rob 'em.
It's OUR MONEY.

YEP. One reparation. Two reparations. A whole lot of reparations. And money gone too almost soon as received. Spent on all sorts of frivolity. And no credit. Just cash.
ReplyDeleteI would recommend:
ReplyDelete1) Turn over the entire sum to a committee of Oprah, Sharpton, Johnson & Johnson (Dwayne and the BET billionaire Robert)
2) Require them to first sign a document and say on-camera "PAID IN FULL." If they double it to a half-million per, then fine, pay it.
3) They are responsible for administering the program, not state workers. They are responsible for evaluating eligibility. They are responsible for disbursements.
4) Do you have a complaint that you didn't get your fair share? Tell it to Oprah and her committee. It is no longer a government matter.
I hope these are handled exactly like Alaska Permanent Fund Dividends - taxable by the feds with appropriate % withholding, counted as income even if it screws up Medicaid, Medicare Part B premiums, SNAP, WIC eligibility and the federal tax credits jackpot.
