Why? Is Slavery A Problem There?

California is poised to create a slave reparations task force.

I am wondering why.

I just double checked and California was a free state from the beginning and stayed with The Union for the Civil War.

Why would California have a need to compensate slaves for their servitude?

Unless we're talking about the ungrateful descendants of former slaves who took the gift of freedom and...

Did nothing with it.

Unless we're talking about the real effects from discrimination stemming from Jim Crow laws.

 But, again, why would California need to have reparations for Jim Crow laws they never instituted.

Jim Crow laws are a Southern Democrat thing.

But even Jim Crow reparations are bullshit.

Since the Civil Rights Act dozens of special carve outs have been made for people of color to give them a leg up against Evol Whitey to no avail.

Maybe there'd be a point talking about reparations from Equal Opportunity and the corrosive effect it's had on people of color.  But if we start talking about reparations for the harm done by EO, we're going to be paying out to white people harmed by losing the job to an under-qualified candidate who happened to have darker skin.

    How would this work? Would someone who's only half-black get half reparations?

      I'd expect that they'd keep using the racist determinations of being black that the Jim Crow cocksuckers used.

      Look up Davis Knight.

      You're either black or white under their system.

      If you're off the plantation, you're white; re George Zimmerman.

    Do we get to deduct for things like the cost of the Civil War, affirmative action, and other such programs?

      I have discussed this at length, and likely (accidentally) answered your questions.
