Over the past couple of years, the Reparations movement has gained tremendous momentum in California. The California Reparations Task Force, which was created by the state legislature in 2020, is considering a proposal to give just under $360,000 per person to approximately 1.8 million Black Californians who had an ancestor enslaved in the U.S. Of course California was admitted as a Free State in 1850 and never had slaves, which makes this seem more of a racial extortion racket than compensation.
