Wait a minute. THAT'S A GREAT IDEA!!!! Sign me up. And throw in a couple free Obama phones too. My great..g..g..g.. father was wounded with the 21stMaine Infantry at Port Hudson, Louisiana and then spent two years in a confederate prison camp at the age of 17. He would be some surprised to learn about white privilege and how he was oppressing blacks all that time. Very surprised. He said that he survived the prison camp by eating the undigested oats and grain out of the horseshit. Yeh. White privilege on full display. What was he thinking?
* $200 million = $450,200,000,000,000.00 And you thought the current inflation was bad. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ac...-reparations-committee-200-million-per-person
That sounds good. I would like to see the dems build that into their 2024 campaign platform for the whole country.
Although this is funny to me... I must admit that the treatment of Japanese Americans in the United States following the issue of EO 9066, over 100,000 Japanese-Americans found themselves placed into concentration camps within the United States. These concentration camps were called “relocation camps.” In my opinion, Japanese Americans deserve reparations too. Yet, why stop there. How about reparations for Indigenous Americans that were forced off their land and then relocated to other states or what about the Indigenous Americans that were forced by the government & Catholic ministries to change their indigenous names to catholic names or English-sounding names for America's civilization ? One aspect of the assimilation process was the renaming of the entire Indigenous American population, partly to extinguish traditional ties and partly because Europeans that immigrated to America found many of the names confusing, difficult to pronounce and went against assimilation objectives. Not all states were involved in legally changing the names of Indigenous children at Native American schools. Yet, many did pass laws for such to occur. Therefore, just give every American $500,000 dollars and then call it all even regardless of ethnicity...mixed or not. Time to move on. P.S. I want my Indigenous family (ancestral) name back although I'm aware I can easily have it legally changed. P.S.S. June 2nd 1924, Congress granted citizenship to all Native Americans born in the U.S. Hilarious, citizenship on our own land we've have been living on for hundreds of years before the arrival of the colonialists. wrbtrader
The California Reparations panel approval amount is now at $1.2 Million... California reparations panel approves payments of up to $1.2 million to every Black resident California's legislature could vote on the panel's recommendations https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ca...ves-payments-1-2-million-every-black-resident
Their recommendations will go to state lawmakers for consideration. My guess is that this goes no where. Maybe they will issue an apology.
Gov. Newsom is not backing this nonsense. Finally some common sense. California Gov. Newsom declines to back reparations checks, says slavery's legacy is 'more than cash payments' Gov. Gavin Newsom pledges to advance 'systemic changes' after reparations task force backs payments up to $1.2 million https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ca...hecks-says-slaverys-legacy-more-cash-payments
