Even though the formerly great state of California is
stone broke right now the Democrat-Socialists are working very, very
hard to appeal to their base by throwing some bones (i.e. money) to the
Black community as "reparations."
Among
these bones is SB1403. If passed into law this would create the
California American Freedmen Affairs Agency. This agency would be
responsible for overseeing and monitoring state agencies and departments
that would implement reparations when/if such things occur.
In
addition SB1331 would, if passed into law, create the Fund for
Reparations and Restorative Justice. This fund would hoover up 6% of
the total general fund to hand out to Black people.
There
is also talk about creating a state geneological task force that would
make some attempts to factually determine who might, or might not, be
eligible for such payments. That one is still up in the air.
It
should be noted that slavery was never legal in the Republic of
California or the State of California. Yes, government actions had a
negative impact on Blacks, and Irish, and Chinese, that would not be
acceptable today. That was then, this is now. Also many of those
government actions were taken by local jurisdictions and had nothing to
do with state law or policy.
