Addressing the shameful legacy of slavery: will California’s Black reparations pass? | 5 Things



The issue of reparations is complex and often controversial. There are differing opinions on whether reparations are an appropriate or even effective way to remedy the horrors of slavery. The California Reparations Task Force recently issued its final report to the California legislature. The legislature there could take up a vote on whether to act on those recommendations as early as this fall. Kamilah Moore is the Chair of that task force and joins the 5 Things podcast to discuss her team’s findings and our country’s history with reparations.

  1. Wasn't California a free state?

  2. The prospect of free money has created millions of new victims of slavery out of thin air.

  3. why is this stupid video even in my feed, yal wanting free money over the suffering of your ancestors is sickening

  4. Slave hold or third class steerage, we all took free ride to America. And there isn't any ''remedy'' for slavery because those unfortunate are dead and their descendants blessed—whether they realize this, or wish to fantasize entitlement, is another matter entirely. Racism is big business, a huge collective angst to wring tears. Still, the joke's over, and the hustle never ends.
    Get a life and cut the crap. Just the facts jack.

  5. Black people looking for more handouts and blaming others for their misery…..same old nonsense. Get a grip and grow up. You’re not owed anything and the sooner you get that into your heads the better. Are black people going to compensate business owners who’ve had to close their stores due to being constantly invaded by black thieves who attack en masse and clear out the stores? I’d like to see that. But, it won’t happen because black people refuse to acknowledge their bad attitude and lack of morals. They’d rather loot and destroy even if it ends up hurting their own neighbourhood. I work hard and pay my tax. Nobody gave me a handout. Try working for a living, raising your children properly and make an effort to behave like decent people…..it applies to all colours.



  6. Anyone not from the Christian Race is the anti-Christ, from that Tree of good and evil.

    Yahweh (YHVH) the creator God, who's name was removed 7,500 times from the Bible.
    Behold the Adamic-man, the Christian Race, to Blush

    Cush (Greek: Ethiopia), means sun-burnt face
    Phoenicians described by the Greeks, as fair-haired, fair-skinned people
    Persia means Lord of the Aryans now renamed IRAN
    Zimbabwe once known as Rhodesia
    Chicongo once known as Chicago

    from the man Jacob/Israel
    12 Tribes passed through the Caucasus Mountains
    (i)ssac's Sons / Saxons / Anglo-Saxons / Europe / Australia / New Zealand / Canada / North America / First World / "We the People"

    Not kind after kind
    ——————-
    38 For as in those days before the flood,
    they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,
    until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away,
    so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

    Praise Yahweh, our creator, our savior, and through the flesh as Christ our kinsman redeemer.

  7. Another website taking us back instead of forward , every race were slaves

  8. As far as I know California never was a slave state so what’s up with that?

  9. The Government of California and Hollywood is still supporting human trafficking. The Government of California and Hollywood is still promoting racial media and racial propaganda. The Government of California and Hollywood is still supporting ideologically authoritarian policies that take away people's liberties and freedom. Reparations will do nothing more than further destroy California's economy and impoverish Californians, resulting in more Californians fleeing the state for survival.

  10. I believe people are find with paying Reparation, as long as, it’s not going to American Freedmen. Example: Asian and pacific islands got Reparations, in the amount of 50 million dollars and “hate crimes” law, knowing American Freedmen are the most hated race in this country. We have people of all races who don’t have a problem with Reparations, but when you say for American Freedmen that’s when you start hearing, not my tax dollars, slavery was a long time ago, we didn’t have slaves, do you know any slaves, just anything off the top of there head. Let me say something, this country was built off the backs of slaves, so now it’s time to pay, the debt that’s owed to American Freedmen. If that not the problem then, make it make sense.

  11. Forcing the innocent to pay nonvictims for something that happened to neither of them is not reparations.
    Reparations is actual proven victims being compensated by their actual violators.
    I don't know of anybody who opposes that.

  12. Nobody cares, stop showing black people slavery you just want us too keep hating white people.

  13. Will extensive DNA testing be involved? It would have to be. Also this would be the same as the African who sold the slaves in the first place and monetarily gained to now 2 people who were never slaves getting paid for the ones that were. Wow, that's sick. Perspective🤨

  14. Well, the Yankees freed you so they can pay up.

  15. Yes for reparations!!! A one time payment of $5 then cut out every single social programs for the blacks. No soup or bus rides for you!!!!!!!!!

  16. You have enslaved yourselves so stop blaming everyone else. Oh, don't believe me? Then explain every other nationality in America above you even when you get everything for free and employers are even forced to hire you. You are your own worst enemy and no one care about you anymore!!!!!!!!

  17. I agree with him, all democrat majority states should payout, since they where the party fighting to keep slavery going

  18. Get over it already. Everyone just wants a free handout these days.

  19. It's amazing how y'all keep pushing this narrative. Yes there were slaves but are there anymore? No. So stop crying about it and move on!! I'm so tired of the message being put out there that it's all about black people. Get over yourself. Educate yourself. There were African Americans who owned and sold slaves. There were also white slaves. If you look at Africa today there are white homeless every where and black people sitting in nice houses and driving nice cars. There white people can't even get a job because of the color of their skin.

  20. So are northern African countries going to pay reparations for all the white slaves they bought in the 17th century? 🤷‍♂️

  21. The commission was comprised of all blacks and one Japanese-American man.

    If we give reparations to African-Americans we will also need to pay off Native Americans, Mexicans, Chinese (remember the coolies on the railroad?), and Japanese-Americans.

  22. So everyone gets a new house, car and some bling.
    Then just like lotto winners and sports players they are broke in 5 years.
    The money gets funneled to the 1% and the bill goes to the taxpayers.
    The recipients of this largess then cry they were the victims of systemic racism.
    Back to square one!

  23. You people are delusional. Reparations 😂😂😂 . Get a job!

  24. California never had slaves.

  25. I’ll save you the 15 minutes, no reparations will not pass. If it passes it will stand up in court.

  26. Shalom. We are still in Captivity. Deuteronomy 28 vs 68⚔️💜

  27. Please help Israel 🙏😢😢

  28. How many years did you serve in slavery?? Who was the master of your Plantation?? These need to be answered before anyone receives any reparations.
