California Reparations Task Force Member Who Wants To Settle Their Sin Bill

The vice-chair of California’s reparations task force Doctor Amos Brown has ordered the state to pay their ‘sin bill’ and fork out because of ‘what has been done to black people’.  Brown claimed that the state should settle what it ‘can afford for the reparations even if it is unable to provide the full proposed amount.

California’s reparations task force approved an assessed $800 billion plan to provide black citizens reparations. The final report of the plan is due to the Golden State’s legislature, where legislators will review if it gets passed. The proposal faces an uneasy future because the state is currently haggling with a $31.5 billion budget shortage, meaning various programs could be cut this year and beyond.

Brown said the state should pay out the reparations in multiple installments if it cannot afford to pay them in one installment because according to Brown there is no amount on what has been done to black people. The sin bill in this nation has been so high, and because of the long years of doing nothing, the interest has increased as well.

Gov. Gavin Newsom Broke His Silence About The Sin Bill

Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) was silent most of the on the task force’s work but finally broke his silence earlier this month by saying that the work was about “dealing with the legacy of slavery” and “is about largely more than cash payments” Newsom said via a prepared statement.

A spokesperson for Newsom further clarified to the Washington Examiner that he had not rejected to endorse the California reparations costs and would evaluate the final report once it is completed and submitted to him before he makes any decision. Furthermore, Newsom was also looking forward to a continued partnership with the Legislature to advance systemic changes that ensure an inclusive and equitable future for all Californians.

The plan is to include a request to abolish a provision that forbids discrimination based on race or other characteristics.  Hoover Institution reported that the voters in 2020 rejected a proposal to abolish the constitutional amendment that banned affirmative action by not permitting the state to consider race, gender, or ethnicity into account when making hiring choices by a 57 percent and 42 percent margin.
