LMAO...it's all BS!
The same numbers and racial theories behind the task force’s reparations payments when applied to all the races in the state, not just the black and white ones in the report, appear to show that Asians run everything and oppress other races so severely that they die earlier.
That’s obvious nonsense. But so is the report.
The report points to a current 7 year gap between black and white life expectancy, but there is a nearly 6 year life expectancy gap between white and Asian life expectancy.
Should Asians and Latinos be forced to pay reparations to white people?
Life expectancy does not actually correlate with race, it does however correlate with income. A UCLA study found that “the gap in life expectancies between those living in the highest- and lowest-income census tracts increased, from a difference of about 11.5 years before the pandemic to more than 15 years in 2021.”

Reparations, good or bad??? I don't deny the harm that the institution of slavery caused to people, even after the institution was banned.
Here's my question, in 2 parts.
1. Who gets paid? Will it be "every" person of African descent who can show an ancestral link to slavery? Will they be paid individually or as family groups???
2. Who pays? Will it be solely the U.S., which only came into being in 1776, and keep in mind there were only 13 States at that time, and within little more than a generation a bloody civil war was fought which was to end the institution. Before that it was the U.K., and various Arab and W. African states that created, supported, and profited from the institution.
History is full of awful crap happening to someone at sometime. I'm not saying, "Oh, just forget it", but lets focus on continuing to move forward and repeating past mistakes.

The HOAX is that California was never a Slave State to begin with, but wants to give reparations to any Blacks that can prove they are descendants of Slaves. What about Whites that can show they also had Slaves in their ancestry? There were many Slaves that were sexually assaulted leading to mixed race children.
