Four points:
One, California was admitted to the Union in 1850 as a free state. Its moral insistence 170 years ago that slavery be outlawed precipitated a crisis—and almost sparked the Civil War 10 years before it actually began. Despite the efforts of some slave-owning arrivals into California, there was never legal slavery in the state.
Two, about 27% of California residents were not born in the United States. Most of the naturalized citizens and undocumented immigrants arrived in the state after the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964.
How, then, do California residents from Asia, Latin America, or Europe owe reparations to the current 6.5% of the state’s population that is African American?
Are we to establish a precedent that those who never owned slaves in a society that has no memory of slavery are to redistribute billions of their dollars to those whose grandparents were never slaves?
Three, in a multiethnic, multiracial California—where those identifying as white are a minority, and those of mixed ancestries number in the millions–how does the state adjudicate who owes what to whom?
Is an arriving Mexican immigrant a victim of institutionalized racism in Mexico, or was he part of a Mexican establishment notorious for its racism? In a multiracial state, will we adopt ancient “one drop” Confederate race laws to determine whose DNA qualifies someone for state money?
Should the state pay reparations to the descendants of Jews who fled the Holocaust, of Cambodians who fled Pol Pot’s reign of death, of Armenians who escaped Ottoman barbarity, or of Irish and Chinese who were worked to death on the Transcontinental Railroad?
Four, how will borrowing money to pay some 2 million to 3 million of the state’s 40 million residents make things easier for the African American population? And are multimillionaire state residents such as LeBron James, Oprah Winfrey, Kayne West, Jay-Z, and Beyonce eligible?
Did it mean nothing that trillions of dollars have been spent over the last half-century on anti-poverty programs, state entitlements, and diversity and inclusion programs?
If per-capita economic parity for the black population is truly the state’s concern, then why not allow more charter schools in California’s inner cities? Or deregulate the state’s cumbersome bureaucracy to ensure small businesses more opportunity and less resistance to building low-income housing?
It is said that California fails because its wealthy elites virtue-signal their caring to square the circle of their own impotence to solve the problems in their midst. Californians who live in gated homes often damn walls on the border. Those who depend on imported water damn water transference for agriculture. Those who put their children in private academies damn public charter schools. And those who raise taxes on the middle class have tax experts to find ways of avoiding taxes.
Stand in the sun? Comon man! You can't possibly be that dumb now can you? What do you pick cotton for a living? Stand in the sun?? Where? On my Caribbean vacation where I get waited on by.... ahem... We won't go there. Just let's have you Google "diseases that only black people get" and get back to me. Then we'll talk about the TRILLIONS of dollars sent to the motherland to feed the dark hordes. You know you can't last a month without feeding off the white teat!!

@vincentmcshan7817 Vince, when your lips part, does some outrageous exaggeration or outright lie just tumble out? The USA was never in the business of slavery! NOT ONCE did the US government own a slave. The ARABS have historically been the greatest slave traders of all time! Next, you have this loony 250 time line for a country wide use of slaves!! The Democrat Party was the party that promoted slavery. Lincoln was a Republican! We fought a war costing hundreds of thousands of WHITE LIVES and massive injuries to FREE the slaves mostly in the South. The VAST majority of blacks in the USA today have NO connection with slavery since their ancestors migrated here AFTER the emancipation proclamation. Will you argue for reperations for those YANKEE'S that lost ancestors in the Civil War as well? BILLIONS have been spent on minority programs, subsidies, educational grants, housing assistance, etc.. that were made available ONLY to minorities. We owe blacks OPPORTUNITY and nothing more. Not one cent. If you disagree, then begin by writing a check for YOUR share. Lead the way, instead of talking. Now search for "Larry Elder reparations Congress" here on YouTube, and educate yourself before revealing your poor education.

Four million Americans turn 18 each year and begin looking for good jobs in the free market.
But the federal government inflates the supply of new labor by annually accepting 1 million new legal immigrants, by providing work-permits to roughly 3 million resident foreigners, and by doing little to block the employment of roughly 8 million illegal immigrants.
The Washington-imposed economic policy of economic growth via mass-immigration floods the market with foreign labor, spikes profits and Wall Street values by cutting salaries for manual and skilled labor offered by blue-collar and white-collar employees. It also drives up real estateprices, widens wealth-gaps, reduces high-techinvestment, increases state and local tax burdens, hurts kids’ schools and collegeeducation, pushes Americans away from high-tech careers, and sidelines at least 5 million marginalized Americans and their families, including many who are now struggling with opioid addictions.
The cheap-labor policy has also reduced investment and job creation in many interior states because the coastal cities have a surplus of imported labor. For example, almost 27 percent of zip codes in Missouri had fewer jobs or businesses in 2015 than in 2000, according to a new report by the Economic Innovation Group. In Kansas, almost 29 percent of zip codes had fewer jobs and businesses in 2015 compared to 2000, which was a two-decade period of massive cheap-labor immigration.
Because of the successful cheap-labor strategy, wages for men have remained flat since 1973, and a large percentage of the nation’s annual income has shifted to investors and away from employees

@derekyoung3073 Well, in that long rambling diatribe, at least you got one thing right. You're not going to argue with me!

kllyoself now Who's talking about saving? If you get cancer and want it to go away, you don't save it do you? Sometimes you gotta have a temporary inconvenience in order to have a permanent improvement. I just want the people who are not happy here, feel cheated here, are "suppressed" here, the downtrodden, the poor victims of inequality, the uninsured, underpaid, and overworked, to simply get your rear end in gear, get your bags packed, and get moving towards more fertile grounds. If that's Africa, Russia, Cuba, or Mexico... GET GOING. Otherwise STFU and get to work like the rest of us.

@Yo Momma Oh!!! By the way.. I Almost forgot to lay THIS on you. Seeing how I was telling you how we vote POLICIES and not for orange man... Read it and weep................. Once elected, this President wasted no time fulfilling his pledge to nominate judges who put impartiality and independence above activism from the bench. On day one, the Trump Administration went to work with the Senate to fill crucial vacancies. Fast forward to now, and the result is nothing less than a historic transformation of the judiciary.
The American Founding was built on the idea of separation of powers, President Trump said today. “This system was designed to protect citizens against the unjust concentration of governmental power . . . [but] when judges assume the role of a legislature, the rights of all citizens are threatened.”
What that means today: “The impartial and objective judge, who is a faithful servant of the law, is essential to the survival of American liberty.”
In just three years, President Trump has nominated and had confirmed two Supreme Court justices, 44 Circuit Court judges, and 112 District Court judges. Today, that historic pace is only accelerating: The President is set to have more judges confirmed this year alone than in all of 2017 and 2018 combined.
The average age of these new circuit judges is less than 50 years old—a full 10 years younger than the average age of former President Obama’s circuit nominees. That fact is important. President Trump understands that appointing good, fair judges is one of the most important legacies a President can leave. And thanks to the extraordinary number of young, talented judges he’s selected, that legacy is likely to last for DECADES TO COME.
Even more important than how long judges serve, of course, is what they do once they get on the bench. President Trump has always nominated judges who have a proven track record of standing up for the rule of law as written, not as imagined.
This quote from President Trump’s speech today may be the most important: When judges write policy instead of applying the law, they impose sweeping changes on millions of Americans without the benefit of legislative debate, public rulemaking, or the consent of the governed. As a result, these highly political rulings inflict painful damage on our security, society, and economy—imposing unworkable edicts on businesses, workers, families, and law enforcement.
His promise: “I will do everything in my power to halt judicial activism, and to ensure the law is upheld equally, fairly, and without political prejudice for all of our citizens.”
