Although the earliest proposed reparations to slaves
was suggested to give slaves 40 acres, the mule part came later. First proposed
by Gen Sherman and Secretary of War Edwin Stanton as a way to break up the
Southern Plantation owners grip on property ownership, and hand it over to the
slaves.
This statement finally was said to be 40 acres and a
mule, but never materialized as the Congress thought it would economically
destroy the South.
Fast forward to present day in California. The
government wants to give every black resident reparations of $233,000. It's not certain how the proof of a family history of slavery can be proven. Now mind
you that California never had slavery, so no black family was ever a slave
there, nor were any of the whites in California slave owners.
Call it what you want but this is only wealth
redistribution by an elitist socialist Governor Newsom. Newsom even formed a study group on Slavery Reparations!
One rather prominent rapper testified at a hearing on
the matter that the amount should be raised to $800,000 to more closely reflect
the price of homes in the area.
Max Fennel an entrepreneur in the area said he thought
the amount should be $350,000, and in addition black owned businesses should
receive grants of $250,000 and 10-20 acres of land!
This program would cost Californians one half a
trillion dollars. Can you imagine anything so stupid in a state that is already
bleeding residents as well as tax income?
Where does this insanity stop?

This is totally insane!
It's a shame that Newsom's recall didn't pan out. It's sure not hard to imagine that he is Nancy Pelosi's nephew! Californians sure got what they voted for, he is a real representative of the socialist state of California
How would one prove slavery in their ancestry? If the proof requirement is so vague even Nigerians could receive money?
California is INSANE… we already knew this… I’m waiting for the “how to prove you are the relatives of a slave part” I mean… I know my family history back to the civil war… and no one was on this side of the Atlantic during it… so I should NEVER BE CHARGED FOR REPARATIONS!!
I’m not sure about the 40 acres, but this is definitely a picture of a mule!!!
