Reparations on the Horizon in California -

 Should one make the check out directly to Maxine Waters?

Intellectual Takeout

"Growing up in the 90s, the prospect of reparations seemed unlikely. I was aware that a subset of the population supported payments to the descendants of slaves, but back then, it seemed as if most people, regardless of how they felt toward such a policy, didn’t believe it would ever actually be implemented. It just wasn’t in the cards—or so we thought.

"Times have changed. Thanks to the woke left, reparations are rapidly gaining salience. While such a proposal faces massive hurdles at the national level, it is already a reality in some blue states.

"California provides one of the more noteworthy examples of a state pushing forward with reparations. Thanks to assembly bill 3121, which was enacted in September 2020, California has a special task force charged with “studying the institution of slavery and its lingering negative effects on living African Americans.” The task force was also tasked with recommending “appropriate remedies of compensation, rehabilitation, and restitution for African Americans.”. . .

Which of those attackers does Reginald Denny owe money to? Or is it all of them? Will Maxine Waters see that Denny's reparations are equally distributed?
