"The report calls for expanded voter registration, policies to hold police more accountable in cases of alleged brutality, and recommends the creation of a special office that would, in part, help Black Americans who descended from free or enslaved Black people in the country at the end of the 19th century document their eligibility for financial restitution."

The report calls for expanded voter registration, policies to hold police more accountable in cases of alleged brutality, and recommends the creation of a special office that would, in part, help Black Americans who descended from free or enslaved Black people in the country at the end of the 19th century document their eligibility for financial restitution.


The report, which runs 500 pages, will be the first government-commissioned study on harms against the African American community since the 1968 Kerner Commission report ordered by then-President Lyndon Johnson, task force Chair Kamilah Moore said.

Considering California was a "Free" State back in the 1800's this is patently ridiculous.

The state didn't charge?

 

[Hurricanelover]

These people take, steal and destroy. I am sorry but they have taken and cost this nation more then they ever gave during slavery by probably 40 times.

Today, California is one of the worst places for a black person to live.

The 1968 Kerner Commission Got It Right, But Nobody Listened

Released 50 years ago, the infamous report found that poverty and institutional racism were driving inner-city violence

The report found that poverty and institutional racism were driving inner-city violence

Many Conservatives blamed the riots on young black men, who represented the largest and most visible group of rioters. But, in March 1968, the Kerner Commission turned those assumptions upside-down, declaring white racism—not black anger—turned the key that unlocked urban American turmoil.

Bad policing practices, a flawed justice system, unscrupulous consumer credit practices, poor or inadequate housing, high unemployment, voter suppression, and other culturally embedded forms of racial discrimination all converged to propel violent upheaval on the streets of African-American neighborhoods in American cities.

“White society,” the presidentially appointed panel reported, “is deeply implicated in the ghetto. White institutions created it, white institutions maintain it, and white society condones it.”

Republicans claim they weren't and aren't racists. But ask them if they agree with the Kerner Commissions findings and they'll say no. Just like they don't like BLM and defend the white police today when they murder blacks, I'm sure conservatives/republicans were against the Kerner Commissions conclusions.

^^^LOL, a white leftist telling someone they need to be black to understand how poorly blacks are treated in California. You're funny.

If California and her residents decide they want to pay people of African decent today for a wrong perpetrated on their ancestors that’s their business. Just don’t stick your hand out for more federal funding to do it.

The sad thing is their ancestors fought on the Union side.

There would be a better case for descendants of the Chinese and Irish people exploited in California for reparations.

How about a black person telling you that you don't know shit about being black and should not comment on what's good for us.

Irish are white and no one but native Americans have a better case for reparations.

You should move there, you'd fit in perfectly.

You just want your free money.

I thought about it in 1978 but too many people lived there then.

Your type is most disgusting to us Irish.
