It looks like California is just now entering the world of the 1960s.
A new nearly 500-page report from the Golden State is recommending that the state pay slavery reparations and segregate schools based on race.
Yes, a state that was never a slave state wants to pay reparations for slavery.
From Breitbart:
The report, issued by the California's Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans, is the outcome of deliberations that were launched last June when Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed AB 3121 into law.
The nine-member panel, which is predominantly black, deadlocked for months over the question of who should benefit from proposed reparations — whether all people of color, or only those who could prove that they were directly descended from slaves.
Ultimately, the panel decided to focus more narrowly, but the legislative recommendations of the interim report include broad measures that would apply to all "Black Californians," such as a proposal to "[e]stimate the value of Black-owned businesses and property in California stolen or destroyed through acts of racial terror, distribute this amount back to Black Californians, and make housing grants, zero-interest business and housing loans and grants available to Black Californians."
So, this state-appointed panel wants California to pay reparations, give better loans to businesses, and build more housing for people based SOLELY on race.
This is supposed to be a serious state?
At least California isn't absolutely bankrupt, right?
Oh, wait...
And it gets even better.
The interim report also proposes creating a separate system of publicly-funded black schools, described as "African American/American Freedmen owned and controlled K-12 schools, colleges and universities, trade and professional schools."
California wants to go back in time and make racially segregated schools!
Thank you, California, for making Alabama, Mississippi, and all of the deep south seem not quite as racist.
This is literally the same thing George Wallace was fighting for!
The executive summary says that "a detailed program of reparations for African Americans" will be developed prior to the release of the final report, and urges the state to recommend that "the federal government create a Reparations Commission for African Americans/American Freedmen through statute or executive action."
The report makes a number of sweeping and controversial claims, such as: "Despite California entering the Union in 1850 as a free state, its early state government supported slavery."
It also claims that: "American government at all levels, including in California, has historically criminalized African Americans for the purposes of social control, and to maintain an economy based on exploited Black labor."
The final report of California's reparations panel will be released by July 1, 2023.
Yeah, this is where wokeness brings you!
