California is a stage. I believe that the activists in favor of reparations for slavery are hoping that they get national publicity.
I believe that this recommendation has a very slim chance of passing into law, especially given California’s fiscal situation and growing financial burdens for assisting the homeless.
Native Americans, on the other hand, have a much more legitimate claim to make in California in my opinion. Their land was stolen from them, and that same land is extremely valuable in 2023.
For the record:
1. California was never a slave state.
2. California did not exist as a state until 1850 when it entered as a free, non-slavery state.
3. The demographic fraction of blacks in California is 5%, compared to 13.5% nationally.
