So...Former Slaves were given a mule and 40 acres: the land was appropriated from white slave owners after the Civil War. This was done to make

reparations to the Freedmen for being enslaved.

Now, the State of California, wants to pay ALL black citizens of California who are the descendants of slaves about $200,000 each using state funds. My question is...when does it stop? Are the grandchildren of these Californians going to be pissed off because Grandma and Grandpa blew all that dough and they didn't get any? Will THEY ask for MORE reparations? What if people from...Ohio...for example, move to California and never receive reparations?

Does this open a very messy can of worms?

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Sort of like BLM...only the white politicians get all the money, right?

And we all know this isn't about paying for the wrongs of the past...far too much time has passed to justify this. It's to keep us divided so the gov't can continue to inflict it's will on the people.

@soar2newhighs We just had the 50th anniversary of the end of the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment. That went on for 40 years. People look at that and say how awful our gov't was conducting medical experiments on these people...and then roll up their sleeves for an experimental injection, putting on blinders as to what's happening.
