All of You Who Live in California . . . Brace Yourself!

Lunacy! If passed, California's economy will collapse within a matter of months as all the companies and all the wage earners abandon the state. And remember, the whole idea is a farce because the taxpayers, who never owned slaves, will be required to pay blacks, who never were slaves, by a corrupt government that never allowed slavery!

What about blacks that owned slaves? Idiots! Destroying themselves because theyre afraid to speak out. Might lose a "like" or "follower".

[Sixgun]

Yea…the irony of it all was that California had an extremely small percentage of blacks before slavery was abolished…the Chinese did the manual labor……

I believe it’s all being done by design……there’s nothing we can do…..even voting doesn’t count anymore…

Given what the rest of this INSANE world is going through, I AM NOT IN THE LEAST SURPRISED!!! And I live in KALIFORNICATION! Can you say bendover?

[Old Savage]

They have made the number so ridiculous that it is not doable and the idea will come up that Hispanics will be paying for slaves that never existed here. And the Asians and others will also be paying. Could be a train wreck for the Dems, the Bud Light of the reparations movements.

[GunnyMack]

And the people who should be given this money are the ones stuck on reservations and welfare!

[Sixgun]

Remember Horace Greeley said, “Go west young man!”……well, maybe the saying should be changed to “Go west all you deadbeats”. Wow! Just think of it..the eastern cities would be emptied out and civility returned……..and Old Savage would have 80 people living in his house…the golf courses would be filled with tents……water would come from Oprah’s Olympic pool……

My Wife's family is all from California. They all supported reparations. My wife is the only conservative in the family.

Well they need to ensure they include REPARATIONS to the family members of Soldiers that fought to free the slaves. Guess we can just stop all the nonsense and call it EVEN!

Palm Springs. Ca gives about $1200 a month to citizens that identify as transgender. No question asked. So......what if I identify as a black transgender descendant of slaves. Can I double dip. Reparations and being tranny? If it wasn't true it would be hilarious.

Hey! I identify as a retired, hard working Aerospace worker. What do I get?

[Blaine]

Hey....It's a great idea....I hope like hell that the blacks in my state of WA ALL move down there.

Exactly!!!!!! 620,000+ died in that war. THAT is your reparations!

My 4x great grandfather is buried not 20 miles from where I sit. John Campbell, volunteered to fight for the Union from Madison County NY. Entered as a volunteer private, was wounded at Gettysburg and was a Sgt Major by the time he ended his service in the Army. What do I get for my Grandfathers service and getting wounded???!!! (Being sarcastic with that question obviously).

And does anyone think those newly freed slaves who volunteered to fight would react to this absurd idea with anything other than indignation and ridicule???

To make certain people today pay for actions committed by someone else 160 years ago while not holding certain other people accountable for their actions today (BLM and Antifa paths of destruction) is a level of insanity that is unparalleled

My GGG grandfather Jim "Slater" Hatfield fought with Anderson Hatfield on the side of the Confederacy, So I will not be getting any reparations.

The Royal Purple Shaft with the Order of the Rusty Hook. Nothing more.

Actually not. Those of us who are honest, hard working folks who ask nothing from the government but to be left in peace get the biggest surprise of all!

THE BILL!!!

Just got the results of a DNA test. No Irish at all. No Native American, no African, BUT some Italian and Askenazi Jew. Oral family history seems to have been incorrect. Well, partly. The portion about being descended from the original Laugharne family and a castle in Wales seems accurate.
