Californians have no one to blame but themselves for the debacle that is about to happen. Keep electing Democrats and you have no right to cry in your beer. Already, California’s state budget is $308 billion and they can do that because taxes are so high, and depending on how the vote on reparations goes, taxes could soar out of sight. The Democrats appointed a commission to determine what reparations should be and they decided that the amount should be $223,200 each per person.
At that figure and with the restrictions on who is eligible the cost would be over half a trillion dollars. Not surprisingly, Black activists are now calling for a minimum of $830,000 dollars with no restrictions other than that you are Black. That would balloon the cost to over two trillion dollars or the approximate value of 7 yearly budgets. No matter which number you decide to go with higher taxes will be needed.
Then what can you Californians expect? Well, more businesses and individuals will leave the state for Nevada or Texas, lowering the amount of taxes the state will collect, and forcing the state to raise taxes even more. To top it off, you will have to pay for the health care costs for every single illegal alien in the state. And them more they raise the taxes, the more companies and individuals will leave the state and the more taxes will need to be raised. It is a never-ending cycle.
Self-proclaimed “grassroots hip hop organizer” Deon Jenkins, who recommended close to $1 million in housing reparations on Wednesday, said in a recent interview,:
“Either they’re going to comply or it’s going to be a serious backlash.”
The nine-member Reparations Task Force formed via legislation by Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom found that Blacks were discriminated against when it came to housing and that each one is owed $223,200 or $569 billion in total. That money would go to the descendants of Blacks who lived in California in the 50s and 60s.
Task force chairman Kamilah Moore said that the final figure could be higher or lower that the number they originally reached. Moore said:
“It is important to get this right because we are setting the precedent for other states and localities, and also for the federal government as well.”
Activist Deon Jenkins claimed that the amount should be on par with the median house price in the state of California, “at least $830,000.”
Deon Jenkins ran as an independent to represent California in the U.S. Senate and lost in the primary on June 7, netting fewer than 7,000 votes. Jenkins also ran for president in 2016 and 2020.
Although rejected at the ballot box, Jenkins is evidently keen to make a political difference by other means.
Jenkins claimed there were four elements of reparations, which he previously stressed should only be for black Americans who descended from American slaves: “Defense, money, land, grants. … Four elements of every society, every nation – a defensive structure, economy, land, and having access to that economy.”
According to the activist, “If that is not being addressed, reparations will not hold. Reparations – repair is the root word, we cannot have repair if those elements are not addressed.”
“Unfortunately, we all know what’s next. Either they’re going to comply or it’s going to be a serious backlash,” he said.
The good news is that Californians will no longer need to work two jobs to survive. The bad news is that they will need three.

Black Activists. FUCK YOU
AMEN!
bravo .. its a dumb idea .. why would I have to help pay for this … I am not a natural born American .
biden is giving Africa billions … where does this all end , what about our poor and seniors in this country … Stop it with the hand outs .
What these slave descendants ignore is that if there had been no black slaves in
America, the complex turn of events of genealogy would not have happened and
there would be no descendants of slaves. They simply would never have been born
in the best country on earth.
My sentiments exactly
To Hell with BLM the Domestic Terrorist and that their Pimp Daddy conman POS
Amen brother. If they aren’t happy here,then let them go to Africa. They identify as African Americans, so they shouldn’t have a problem acclimating…
Bull they been living off working Taxpayers for generations they owe us workers, if they want money get a job work for it, sue Africa they sold them their great grandparents chiefs they were the ones that sold them and they still are selling children in Africa go over there and make it a better country and some taxpayers haven’t even been here long ago they and I owe you Nothing
Got a great idea. Give them 820,000 as one time only payment and tax them 99.9% tax. comes to a cost of around 820 dollars which would be cheaper than income tax return
That actually sounds like a GREAT idea. The next best thing would be to send these effing Black Activists back to their ancestors homeland of Africa. I guarantee they would even be happier. Besides, America is going bankrupt.
People in Hell want ice water too. Not gonna happen. Tell them to get a JOB and earn there money like the rest of us. Just a bunch of free loading low life’s.
it will happen, dims need votes
REPARATIONS, WHY NOT?
I’m sure everyone would be fine with paying for reparations for past ancestors’ sins when today’s Blacks anti-up for every murder, rape, and theft committed by their ancestors!
Of course, the entire idea runs contrary to the biblical prohibition against sons paying for the crimes of their fathers in Deuteronomy 24:16, Ezekiel 18:20, etc.
For more on how the Bible’s triune and integral moral law (the Ten Commandments and their respective statutes and judgments apply and should be implemented as the law of the land, see free online book “Law & Kingdom: Their Relevance Under the New Covenant” at Bible versus Constitution dot org.

You want reparations fine first it’s only for the people that work and pay for your welfare, second all American tax payers that have worked there whole lives paying for these democrat bs giveaways we all should get reparations but not from the government only from the democrats personally, let them empty their bank accounts to cover all that’s been stolen from the American citizens.
And those idiots keep electing Newsome. How stupid are they?? They get what they ask for I guess.
its time to get these people over to the north or south africa enough is enough , its like they want a civil war to break out over color , im fed up with these people , i use to have many colored friends until all this crap the dems stired up , it makes me sick on how these people think , they will do anything for a free hand out , and if they cant get it free they will hurt people by any means to get what they want , they just dont fit in anymore , they hate the usa they hate everyone but there color its time to ship them away ….
Blacks are the real racist people you should be paying the northern soldiers that freed you you ungrateful blacks
Blacks you don’t know your history read about all the white slaves in Roman times they wear murdered and raped and nailed to crosses it’s the past we can’t bring them back so stop and think you are owed nothing You can bring good or live in a world of hate.
BLM is a racist and domestic terrorist organization funded by the Communist George Soros. Thank God I don’t live in the Cereal State (packed with fruits, nuts, and flakes), but if I did, I would start carrying my 357 revolver with me at all times.
If this didn’t anger me to the max, I’d be laughing. So many of our Black Americans don’t know who their father is, much less know who their great, great, grand parents were. They could have been black slaves that raided their tribe and sold them, black slave traders, black slave buyers, black guards shipping them to a foreign country or, if they made the voyage without getting pregnant they might have escaped and set up homes in America. How in Hades does Biden know which black person deserves a dime? Let’s not forget that for many, many years, the taxpayer has provided “special” benefits to many Black Americans. Just how do these activist think that any “free” money they receive can possibly be fairly distributed between the Black population? Additionally, how do you look the Black people that have worked hard, established themselves in their communities and make good, give them nothing and then give a big handout to the Black drug addict that has done nothing with his/her life and will use taxpayer money to kill himself with all those “free” drugs he/she can buy. I think this is a terrible idea that will end in total failure.
They should be going after Africa for this. After all, Africans are the people that rounded them up and sold them. Hell, there’s still slavery in Africa. I wonder how many island black people will be going for this? They would need to go after France, England and so on. There’d probably be 50 million people here that say they’re part of this even tho America had less than 1 million and I would bet a lot of them died without families. Meanwhile South America had supposedly over 11 million. I don’t know how many there were when slavery was ended but I wonder what a legitimate number would be for descendants now. I’m sure almost every black person would say they’re from slaves, even those whose families didn’t come here until slavery ended. There’s no way to confirm most people, but that won’t stop the vote buyers. I’d leave any state that is anywhere near serious about this crap. Maybe they could make it a payment and they have to give up their citizenship and go back.
Oh, feck all of them. If anyone can name anywhere were they went and made an improvement to the communities that they went to, then they deserve recognition`, not reparations.+
How ridiculous! They were never slaves, nor were their parents or grandparents. Time they stopped living on government handouts. There were White slaves used in many countries so do we get reparations?
Since LBJ’s “Great Society Program” of the mid-1960’s, Blacks have been a race synonymous with perpetual welfare, free abortions and affirmative action as a reward to giving Democrats their ‘blind faith’ as well as their votes. The only racists in America are Black racists, 13% of the population seething with hatred towards White people, Asian-Americans and Hispanics. Now they wants reparations based upon their faux revisionist history? A significant percentage of Blacks immigrated to the US after slavery was ended. 3/4’s of the country didn’t even own slaves. In the ‘south’, only 15% of the population owned slaves. However, if you’re skin is Black, they now want $800+K per person? If they get it, what will they want tomorrow? Over my dead White body. The 2nd Civil War will start first.
The elections are rigged big time here in California, I know there are a lot of libtards here, but most of CA is conservative. So as long as we have the Soros/Dominion voting machines, the people working at the Registrar of voters, Ballot harvesting, etc…it will always be a blue State.
There they stand with hands out wanting for free for doing nothing. Why in the hell would you give them anything that happened almost 300 years ago. And the fact they sold their own as slaves shows who owes who. The first slave owner in the usa was a black man. Even obamas white side owned 3 slaves. And how much of that 830,000 are they going to gave to the na they help kill for the white man to steal the land. Blacks were made slaves by their owe, but killed off tribes of people for no real reason. Making that worse then what the slaves went through. So if you give to blacks you better give to the real victims here.
When people say the are going to steal from you, they should be taken seriously. When government says it is going to collaborate in the plunder, it should be taken seriously. There must be neither surrender to thieves, nor compliance with plunder.
1st, they should sue the Muslims who sold their ancestors to Europeans. 2nd, then sue them for not castratingh ALL black males before selling them to europeans. 3rd, any reparations given blacks must be given to American Indians as reparations for all the slaves blacks have kidnapped, raped, and sold into slavery. 4th, all Asian Americans who have been raped, robbed, or burned out by kali blacks should be given all property of those blacks. Last, send all black activist liberals (AKA nazis) to Cuba so they can learn the joys of nazism from masters at slavery. A friend, a black Cuban, said, the cane grows all the sweeter on the blood of the black man. And, SAVE MY NAME AND ADDY, PLEASE.
face it whitie: blacks never (have) wanted equality – they’re nursing a sore that goes back over a hundred years and are seeking revenge and dominance. their moto is: “slave?….BE enslaved”!
I am ALL in favor of “reparations” to ANYONE who has actually been a slave. To the other leaches, go pound sand!
This is the second time I think that it has occurred to me that the armed rebellion might begin in California. Not sure how many black Americans live in California, but I suspect that there are enough that at $830,000 a head the state government will bankrupt every citizen. That is every white, hispanic and asian citizen. What about the black citizen that is ONLY half black? Does he/she only get half-$415,000? What about the half that is white? Will it be taxed to support the black?
As mentioned above as the owners sell out, or are forced out by taxes, California’s tax base will depart and then they will have to confiscate what is left. I guess that they will sell what is left to the Red Chinese.
REPARATIONS: The DemonRats Proverbial ‘Carrot on a Stick’ to keep Blacks on the ‘Plantation’!
Starting for over 100 Centuries before the African slave trade to the New World began, and during that entire period, people owning Slaves has been a normal, and at the time, a legal part of life throughout the entire world. One of the earliest known written records, slavery is treated as an established institution over 37 centuries ago, in The Code of Hammurabi (c. 1760 BC)
Leftists are deliberately pretending that only European white people engaged in “slavery”, a practice as old as humanity itself. They are ignoring the fact that almost every White and non-White nation on the planet has engaged in slavery at some point during history, and some still do.
This is yet another left-wing attempt to falsify history to instill a malicious “White guilt” in ordinary citizens, completely ignoring slavery throughout history, such as the Arab slave trade.
Slavery is STILL happening in Muslim Countries, Africa, and in China along with their many other evil institutions! However, you will never hear any Leftists whining about that!
There are around 181 verses in both the Old (122) and New Testaments (59) [depending on version], with some form of the word ‘Slave’. Yet not one-word condemning slavery! But you never hear this mentioned.
THE INSTAGRAM SLAVE MARKET
Posted by American Cultist on November 24, 2019
With so much discussion in America regarding the aftermath of slavery, we surprisingly tend to be reasonably passive as a society about current forms of human marketplaces. Take, for example, Kuwait, where 9 out of 10 households have a “domestic worker”. Most workers come from the poorest countries in the world. “4Sale”, an actual slave marketplace app, features pitches such as “African worker, clean and smiling” and “Nepalese who doesn’t dare to ask for a day off”. Most vendors advocated confiscating women’s passports.
In the majority of circumstances in the Persian Gulf, workers are brought into the country by agencies and then officially registered with the government. These are countries the United States provides with attack helicopters, ballistic missile defense systems, and a cave of wonder’s worth of precision-guided munitions. The Gulf War was started by Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. Ethical standards for friends always become ambiguous when 8 percent of the world’s oil is involved.
(Yet there is not one-word condemning any form of modern slavery from the MSM)
We should strive as a nation to Move Forward; NOT rehash a time that NONE of us living now had anything to do with…
However,
The DNC has been infamous for ‘promising’ on what it has NEVER intended to deliver!
Reparations have been a buzzword in leftist circles for decades, and they mean it to be a massive transfer of wealth from those who did not perpetrate the crime of slavery to those who were not victims of it. Practically, reparations have been paid in the form of “Great Society” welfare — for more than 50 years.
One of the Democrats’ most absurd strategies is offering “Reparations for Slavery”, which is nothing more than a fake “cash-for-votes” scheme to be supposedly billed to American taxpayers.
“Reparations” are used as a normal, yet forever to be an UNFULFILLED “Empty Promise” by Democrats to Blacks every Election Season, to secure the Black Vote, then after Voting Day, it is promptly ignored and put back into cold storage until it is once again revived and brought out for the next Presidential Election Season.
Great Britain was the first country in the world to officially end slavery.
As recompense, when they ended slavery on their shores, they paid reparations… to the former slave OWNERS!!
As their laws stated then and still state today, the British government must pay for all confiscated private property. Slaves were “property”.
I believe our own Constitution says the same thing, so… do we track down and pay all the former slave owners’ progeny for their loss of property?
Democrats opened this can of worms through their pushing for Reparations for slavery as a ‘legitimate’ idea. This proposal has gone mainstream despite the fact the last person born in America as a slave, died off, over 50 years ago. One of those Black African Native Tribes that captured, and sold other Black African Natives into SLAVERY, were the Ashanti Tribe, of whose Royal Kente cloth garb Nancy Pelosi and company wore, while they ‘took a knee’
“Reparations are both condescending and counterproductive, and to go down that path perpetuates a harmful racial stereotype and further divides our nation. … First, it is impractical and logistically impossible. It is also unfair and heartless to give Black Americans hope that reparations are a reality. Second, debates on reparations do not represent the rich history of a proud and tenacious community, who, like those of my lineage, worked, studied, and overcame to live the American Dream. Third, reparations teach separation and convey a narrative that Black Americans are a hopeless, hapless, and oppressed race entitled to handouts. The core of the debate certainly does not represent Black America’s potential, nor the 150 years of legal, social and economic progress achieved by millions of American minorities.” —Burgess Owens
In his 2002 book Uncivil Wars: The Controversy over Reparations for Slavery, David Horowitz recounts an ad he produced that listed 10 reasons why reparations for slavery is not only a bad idea but a racist one, too. Twenty years later, his list holds up pretty well. Among its points:
• There’s no single group that was responsible for slavery.
• There’s no single group that benefited from it exclusively.
• Only a small minority of white Americans owned slaves, while hundreds of thousands of whites gave their lives to the cause of abolishing slavery.
• Most living Americans have no connection to slavery, direct or indirect.
• The reparations claim is based on race, not injury.
• The claim is one more attempt to divide the races and turn black into victims.
• Trillions in reparations have already been paid to blacks via “Great Society” giveaways and other social programs.
The Democratic Party of today argues that all African Americans, (only SOME of whom are descended from slaves) deserve reparations. (Their ancestors being slaves is something we cannot whitewash or forget). This idea has obvious problems, with some of the most salient, being that:
1. No one alive today in this country has ever been a slave and no one alive in this country has ever owned slaves.
2. This whole proposition is immoral for many reasons. But in calculating anything like a claim for recompense there should be some form of calculation of the damages and harm done by the “guilty” parties, not to harm those whose ancestors were innocent.
3. Slavery has existed in every civilization throughout history. The only question, therefore, isn’t who had slavery, but who was willing to fight and die to abolish it?
4. The Democrat’s ‘Jim Crow Laws’ STILL Exist When it Comes to Blacks Owning Guns in Some States!
5. Democrats want to steal money from people whose own ancestors fought, bled, suffered, and died to end slavery! 360,000 Union Soldiers, mainly white men suffered and died and paid “reparations” with their blood to free 4,000,000 slaves.
6. The progeny of the White Conductors on the Underground Railroad who risked their lives if they were caught should not be held responsible for Reparations.
7. Many Civil War Veterans were maimed for life, by the loss of arms, legs, or vision.
8. White People in the 1960s died to give Blacks their Civil Rights! — Google: The Onion Field
9. Over 1000 Free-Blacks in the South OWNED Slaves too.
10. Many Blacks fought for either the North or the South during the Civil War.
11. Many Whites and people of other races were immigrants who came to the USA, AFTER the Civil War and they produced millions of children! How are they to be held responsible?
12. There are some TWO Million African Blacks who got off the boat, AFTER the Civil War until today, and they produced many millions of children! How are any of them owed Slavery reparations?
13. Yet, Southern Democrats whose own ancestors OWNED the slaves would pay an equal “share”!
14. Many Blacks are Mixed Race, some going back generations, what kind of financial gymnastics is that called for? There would need to be Nazi-like ‘inquiries’ into the claimant’s racial background, to determine share. Or would fake “Blacks” like Rachel Dolezal collect?
15. A Black man named Anthony Johnson was the very FIRST owner of Black slaves, in the USA, he came here to make more money raising tobacco by the use of slavery, because slavery was the most lucrative business (and it still is in Africa and the Middle East, they are STILL selling their people into slavery.) He had four white and one black indentured servant. The black indentured servant, John Casor demanded that Johnson release him after his allotted seven years of indenture. The court ruled in Johnson’s favor and made Casor a slave for LIFE. (It’s not clear if Anthony Johnson also kept his white indentured servants as slaves for Life)
16. (The very first slaves in the US were Irish children, shipped here by the British, arrived four months before the first black slaves arrived… Irish adults came later… most of them died before they made much of an impact on US history and are mainly forgotten. Search term: The Irish Slave Trade – The Forgotten White Slaves
17. Muslim slave traders from Africa and Arabia sold MORE whites into slavery by raiding Europe than they did from raiding the black African people.
18. Black African Tribes such as the Ashanti captured and sold other Blacks to both Muslim and White Slavers, sometimes the Slave Trading Tribes then became the hunted… It was the Ashanti’s own Kente Cloth that the Democrats wore in the halls of Congress when they ‘took a knee’ for George Floyd.
Search term:
19. Democrats claim that “DACA” kids should not have to pay for their own parents’ crimes. However, those same Dems believe that ALL White people are still responsible for the actions of pre-Mid-19th Century Slave Owners?
20. Vice President Kamala Harris, when asked about her family’s history of owning slaves, says “That was in the past and has nothing to do with me”. This throws cold water on the whole “Reparations” argument!
21. Can you say: “Equal application of the law”?
WHO SHOULD PAY THEN?
Southern Democrats first and foremost, then all other Democrats… INCLUDING BLACK Democrats, because Free-Blacks in the South OWNED Slaves too!
So, the Black Dems get to “Pay” themselves… after the usual obligatory Governmental “Slight Charge for Shipping and Handling”!
Bottom line: don’t let the Democrats change America for the worse. Remember November!
