For in one of the most controversial political initiatives in recent times, the first multi-million-dollar payments could, in the coming months, be distributed as part of a scheme which, in the words of one Left-leaning Californian legislator, would be compensation for ‘decades of socio-economic disparity going all the way back to the days of slavery’.
California was never a slave state. No one alive today was enslaved and no one alive today owned a slave, yet these scumbags plan to bankrupt the state to pay for their largesse and virtue signalling.
Last Monday, a US national holiday to celebrate civil rights hero Martin Luther King, San Francisco’s reparation committee proposed that every eligible black citizen in the city should receive a $5 million (£4 million) payout – a total bill of at least $50 billion (£40 billion) for the city alone.
There are two problems here – apart from the moral bankruptcy of the idea. Firstly, where is that money coming from? Secondly, it will open the floodgates.
Maybe there will come a time for white people to engage in tax rebellion?
No African slaves, but lots of Coolies. Pre Panama canal.
I use that word because there was an Anti-Coolie Act.
And it was not to ban the word.
Coolies don’t count. They are Asians so have white privilege. Do keep up.
It will be interesting to see how many of these newly minted millionaires are poor again five years down the line.
Of even still alive.
I’m trying to think which assertions, beliefs and stereotypes about those so obviously deserving AREN’T reinforced by this.
Any that aren’t undoubtedly will be by the reality should this very definition of insanity ever see the light of day.
According to the font of all wisdom, 46.8 million blacks in the US. Times 4 million = $187 trillion.
Fuck me that’s a lot of fried chiggun!
“every eligible black citizen in the city”
How so – pencil test or one-drop rule?
Can I just identify as a black San Franciscoan and get the money as well? Who are they to deny my lived experience? Now gimme, gimme, gimme…
So once compensation is paid to this generation, where does the money come from to compensate the next generation? And the one after that?
Whipepo.
So bonded slavery becomes bonded entitlement?
