This is just a bill to get some funding for a study group.

Once the study group presents its findings, then you're gonna have to get the money to pay those people and like it was said here, California was a free state, so..... their best option would be trying to tax businesses that benefited from slavery and are stationed in CA. Depending on the political climate moving forward, that'll be a hard ticket to sell to the California State Legislature.

This isn't just for our ancestors enslavement -- but... PLEASE - Learn the history of the the U.S. - California wasn't admitted to the Union until 1850 -- until then it was NOT free.

ADOS ancestors were not emancipated/freed themselves until 1865.

Antebellum slavery persisted on California soil — both formally and informally — into the 1860s before finally crumbling in the face of legal activism by free African-Americans and the growing power of antislavery Republicans.

I thought California didn’t have enslaved Africans and we’re against it back in those days?

Not true. California was indeed a Slave State until 1850's.

But Joe Moore says there’s just one problem with that sunny vision of the past — it isn’t true. Though it was admitted to the Union as a “free state,” slavery still existed in 1850s California, and Moore is leading a project to shed light on its contradictory history.

His proof is in print: in an 1852 ad announcing the public auction of a black man valued at $300; newspaper accounts of fugitive slaves who were arrested; and, county records certifying slaves bought their freedom from their owners. Uncovering California’s overlooked slave past

Being that they entered the US as a free state, it’s highly unlikely, any of that is relevant when it comes to US paying reparations.

Nothing is wrong with H.R. 40 -- we are requesting edits and for control of who is on the commission.

No one has said the Dems are evil- just cause we don't want to join licking Bernies Booty hole -- and calling him out on his anti-Black American perception -- and how he doesn't think even support reparations.

EVEN though he signed H.R. 40 -- and states he will sign the bill to study it -- aka PANDERING - don't get mad bae.
