California

continues to move forward with its effort to grant reparations to all African Americans. In less than 10 weeks, by July 1, California’s Reparations Task Force is set to deliver final recommendations to the Legislature for how the state can begin to undo 300 years of harm from slavery and racism. 

With the clock winding down, two key questions remain unanswered: How much would the proposed reparations cost? And will the Legislature support the recommendations of the task force?

The first-in-the-nation task force was appointed in 2020 to study whether and how the state government should issue reparations for residents who are descendants of enslaved persons.

I truly, cannot think of anything funny or sarcastic or even nasty to say about this notion. Fortunately, there is a Dad Quote that covers this eventuality:

“Sometimes saying nothing is the best thing to say.”
