California Senator Steven Bradford said if freed slaves had gotten what was promised, theyād āall be billionairesā
"If the 40 acres and a mule that was promised to free slaves were delivered to the descendants of those slaves today, we would all be billionaires,ā Democrat Senator Steven Bradford said, expressing support for the AB-3121 bill, which aims to develop reparation proposals.
āI hear far too many people say, āWell, I didnāt own slaves, that was so long ago,ā" he said. "Well, you inherit wealth ā you can inherit the debt that you owe to African-Americans.ā
California lawmakers are now setting up a task force to study and make recommendations for reparations to African Americans, particularly the descendants of slaves, the AP reported.
In the last two years, other states including Texas, New York, and Vermont have considered similar legislation.
It said reparations could take the form of cash, housing assistance, lower tuition, forgiving student loans, job training or community investments.
"African Americans continue to suffer debilitating economic, educational, and health hardships" because of continued discrimination, the bill states
Democratic State Senator Holly Mitchell of Los Angeles also noted that āChattel slavery, both in California and across our nation, birthed a legacy of racial harm and inequity that continues to impact the conditions of black life in California.ā
She cited disproportionate homelessness, unemployment, involvement in the criminal justice system, lower academic performance and higher health risks during the coronavirus pandemic.
This bill would establish the Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African
From the author:
Human trafficking, without any doubt, was monstrous in its immorality and cruelty fact of US history.
But some questions arise:
- How can you compensate for the pain and suffering that black people have gone through using money?
- How are legislators from states that have "distinguished themselves" "with the massive use of slaves, going to compensate the heirs of those 10 million unfortunates who did not survive the bestial conditions of sea transportation and whose bodies were simply thrown into the ocean ???
- It is known that a certain social stratum really got rich in this business in America. But it is also known that in West Africa entire tribes were "in business" capturing and enslaving their own kind. WILL they be held accountable for their crimes against humanity ???
- WHO will compensate for the irreversible damage that the American civilization, represented by certain individuals who profited from the slave trade and the exploitation of slaves, inflicted on the African population?
- Will the compensation take into account the costs incurred by the states of police control of racial crime today and the maintenance of penal institutions?
- Will the compensation bill take into account the fact that the very significant portion of the black population lived and still lives exploiting Welfare and Social Security?
- Is it not worth, through careful analysis, to check the legend about the poor academic performance of high school students as a legacy of slavery and to check the influence of ordinary laziness and sexual promiscuity in the part that many ākidsā used a thin plastic film in which school lunches were packed, "not on purpose", as a ācondomā?
- Will there be a comparative analysis of the MODERN average standard of living of the population of African countries from which the slaves were taken, and the average standard of living of their descendants in the United States?
- Will the current names of those āfamiliesā from the āwhites" that profited from slavery, as well as their possible, say, ethniŃ affiliation, be published?
But the BIGGEST STICK is that initially there were several THOUSANDS of the so-called "whites", who got rich in slavery and reparations WILL BE PAID from the STATE BUDGET by ALL the population of this or that State !!!
