The California Senate Judiciary Committee is moving forward with its plan to force whites to give money and resources to those it determines are descended from slaves. They have a new bill designed to create a new department in the state government dedicated to determining who gets paid and how much they get paid, a number that could reach as high as $1.2 million for some people.
As of right now, the primary requirement is this: “descendants of a free Black person living in the United States prior to the end of the 19th century.” The criterion for determining the amount qualified individuals would be awarded has not yet been flushed out.
Excerpt from The Post Millennial
The California Senate Judiciary Committee has approved legislation that would establish a new cabinet-level agency tasked with carrying out the state reparation task force’s recommendations.
The California American Freedman Affairs Agency would be headed by a secretary appointed by the governor, and among other things, create a Genealogy Office to help determine who is eligible to receive as much as $1.2 million to make up for the injustices committed against their ancestors, per Just The News.
The Genealogy Office, it explained, would “support potential reparations claimants by providing access to expert genealogical research to confirm reparations eligibility and expedited assistance with the reparations claims process.”
… Reparations would be limited to “descendants of a free Black person living in the United States prior to the end of the 19th century.” While the bill initially stated that only “African American descendants of a chattel enslaved person [living in the United States]” would be eligible, the most recently amended version expanded that definition to include all “descendants of an African American chattel enslaved person in the United States,” regardless of the descendants’ racial makeup.
