In March, that task force voted 5-4 to \u201crestrict who would be eligible for reparations to African American descendants of enslaved people,\u201d CalMatters <a href=\"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/california-divide\/2022\/04\/californias-reparations-task-force\/\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Some on the board want reparations to be available to all black Americans in California due to ongoing alleged discrimination from the government, The Epoch Times noted:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>The majority took a strict interpretation of AB 3121, the bill that established the task force and gave \u201cspecial consideration\u201d to direct descendants of enslaved people.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Other members argued that reparations should be open to all 2.6 million Black Californians, who through the years likely have faced systemic racism \u2014\u00a0such as police brutality, bank redlining, neighborhood disinvestment, and school or housing segregation.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/la-city-council-throws-support-behind-reparations-for-black-americans_4400532.html\">flagged<\/a> by The Epoch Times, not everybody was in favor of the L.A. City Council\u2019s motion to support the task force:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>One public commenter who wrote into the city council meeting said: \u201cLast I checked, I nor my family ever owned slaves. And no one I know was ever a slave. Reparations are a knee-jerk action to assuage your privilege, NOT mine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>CalMatters also <a href=\"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/california-divide\/2022\/04\/californias-reparations-task-force\/\">reported<\/a> that \u201cKamilah Moore, chairperson of the task force, said nearly 80% of California\u2019s 2.6 million Black residents would be eligible for reparations, based on calculations by William Darity, an economist on the task force.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to 2014 data from the Black Alliance for Just Immigration, there are about 178,000 Black immigrants in California \u2014 hailing primarily from the Caribbean and the African continent \u2014 or 6.8% of the state\u2019s total Black population,\u201d CalMatters noted. These individuals, under the current potential plan, would not be eligible for reparations.<\/p>\n<p>The task force will meet in the upcoming weeks to hear lectures on racism from a variety of academics and scholars.<\/p>\n<p>In June, it will present its first report which will include initial recommendations for reparations as well as a detailed report discussing current forms of discrimination against black Americans.<\/p>\n<p>According to Moore, \u201cthe first report is underway at about 600 pages and 13 chapters,\u201d CalMatters <a href=\"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/california-divide\/2022\/04\/californias-reparations-task-force\/\">noted<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After that initial report, the final report will be released in July 2023 and \u201cwill include specific information on the eligible community, formal recommendations about the forms of reparations and a study of their compliance with international human rights law and standards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
