California is guilty of racism and must pay reparations

  Andrea Widburg   "California is a troubled state.  Its cities are drowning in a sea of feces and needles from the homeless flooding the streets, crime is rampant, the cost of living has gone through the roof, illegal aliens are pouring into the state, and people who aren't bazillionaires can't wait to leave.  And now, just to make it a bit more hostile to the average person, the "California Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans" has released a 500-page report detailing its history of unparalleled racism and demanding reparations from taxpayers.". . .

. . ."The difference between Asians and Hispanics, on the one hand, and Blacks, on the other hand, is cultural.  The Asians usually have intact homes and put a huge premium on education.  The Hispanics usually have intact homes and put a huge premium on hard work.  These are cultural pressures that shape children to go on to productive and often profitable lives.  Meanwhile, roughly 77% of Black children are in single-parent homes, a sure indicator of future poverty.  And as often as not, there's no father involved, which leads to higher criminal rates for boys.

"Let me be blunt.  Throwing more money at Blacks will make virtue-signaling White leftists feel a little more virtuous.  It will not help those Blacks who are sinking into a morass of poverty, crime, abuse, and despair.  The only thing that will change is when they stop looking for reparations (even arguably deserved ones) and start repairing their broken communities."
