Meet the Members of California’s Historic Reparations Task Force | KQED News

[@edb402]

My great , great grandfather was killed fighting against slavery as a Union soldier in the civil war. As a result of his death his widow and children were completely impoverished and it had a continuing economic effect on my ancestors since that time. What about reparations for my family?

Have they forgotten our Native Americans, AKA Indians? Look what happened to them!!!

Hey hey, I’m Chinwe Oniah, one of the producers for the series. Hearing from the task force and seeing the research they’ve done was eye-opening. Each of them has an expertise that was vital to the research done and it’s shocking what they’ve uncovered about slavery and its effects in California. And then hearing each member’s personal account of how the legacy of the racist system has shown up in their lives puts in perspective how far reaching the effects of slavery have been. It’s been so dope having the opportunity to work on this project. Please drop a comment below and let us know what you think!

I call BS on our current and next generation paying reparations for mistakes from 150 years ago.

Victimhood complex

We're still suffering from your hatred. These comments are the very PROOF of that. You attack us more than we even care to bother you. Your privilege and entitlement is what allows you to think it's ok to hate people who do nothing to you directly. You reap all the benefits of slavery while we suffer to this day from it. But you know all this. Your hate will be your undoing. May God judge you soon. You're time to repent has run its course. And you still hold yourselves unaccountable. Thank you so much for that. Makes things move faster for us. It's one thing for a human to seek revenge but an entirely different one when it's A GOD.

Why exactly are people of one specific DNA owed money for their own self imposed failure?

[@joangoddard5074]

Because others have been in positions of power for many generations and have used various formal (redlining, for example) and informal (but almost ever-present) methods and ways of interacting that keep most Black people from having equal opportunity and long-range familial financial improvement. I am learning a lot these days - and it looks as if some of the people commenting here could learn a lot also!

[@avenue8822]

@@joangoddard5074 Sure...you learn what you want to learn. Have you also considered self-imposed barriers to success that one particular race has adopted over generations, that has absolutely noting to do with those imaginary 'oppressive' barriers? You really should try using common sense. Bitterness, jealousy, Black Urban Culture, and failure to accept responsibility are but a few examples. If what you claim is true, which it is not, then Nigerian Americans would not have the highest post-graduate degrees than any other race, and have one of the highest income levels on average of all races.

​@@joangoddard5074 will blacks be returning all the government aid. Like welfare, food stamps, medicaid, section 8....etc out of those payments for the last 200 years? If so they likely will owe the government an I owe you. 😂😂

[@mrray6983]

@@avenue8822 Wow... You're making too much damn sense.

[@dhare07]

Maybe if y'all wouldn't left us alone during the ride of the BLACK WALL STREET we wouldn't be having this conversation. So we deserve compensation for just your demonic hated alone.

Thank you members of the California Historic Reparations Task Force for your public service and ensuring reparations for Black Americans address present day inequities and injustices. Your work is living work and your commitment honors the seeds of deep humanity inside and brought to this country back to the years preceding 1619 and expressed by people who continue to work for owning up to and reconciliation with the various genocides and forced labors that built the wealth of the United States.
